The skin around the eyes is thin and the eyes themselves needed to be protected from harsh chemicals that are harmful. Eye makeup removers formulated specially to be gentle. Here is a quick look at the different forms of eye makeup removers in the market:

Oil-based

Eye makeup removing oil effectively removes all traces of makeup, including stubborn waterproof mascaras and waterproof eyeliners. They are gentle and glide easily on your skin without causing too much fiction.

Solvent

Water-based eye makeup solvents remove basic makeup. However, they are not effective in removing waterproof makeup. They should be rinse-off after.

Liquid-oil-based

This type of combination eye makeup remover utilizes the oil to remove waterproof eye makeup while the water-based solvent helps remove powder and other normal makeup as well as the oily feel of the cleansing oil. As such, they do not leave an oily residue on your skin. Shake the bottle well before use, and rinse with water after.

Gel

Gel textured eye makeup remover removes waterproof makeup. They loosen the makeup that is easily removed by wiping them away.

Lotion

In lotion form, this type of eye makeup remover moisturizes the skin while removing eye makeup, including waterproof ones.

Micellar Water

While most Micellar waters may be gentle enough for the eyes, they may not fully remove all traces of waterproof eyeliners and mascaras. Micellar waters are non-rinsing options.

Eye Makeup Remover pads

Convenient pre-soaked options for the late-nights and time-pressed days.
