Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

Clinique Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover is the softest option in the brand's eye-cleansing range — a creamy lotion rather than a bi-phase oil or a water. It comforts the skin while the makeup dissolves, which matters when the area you're working on is the thinnest on your face.

What it actually does

• Dissolves eye makeup while comforting skin. Clinique calls it their gentlest eye cleanser, and that gentleness is the point of the whole formula.
• Spreads easily as a rich lotion. The creamy texture moves quickly and evenly over the lid, so you aren't dragging at the skin to get coverage.
• Leaves no oily residue. Makeup lifts off without the slick film that some removers leave behind on the lashes and lids.
• Tested for the eye area and for sensitivity. Ophthalmologist tested, allergy tested and 100% fragrance free, per the brand.
• A long free-from list. No fragrance, parabens, phthalates, gluten, synthetic colours, sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate.

How to use

1. Put a drop onto a cotton pad.
2. Massage it gently across the lids and through the lashes.
3. Tissue the product away, or rinse it off with water — either finish works.

Clinique's own tip: take your makeup off however late or tired you are. Sleeping in it can lead to dullness, irritation and clogged pores.

Questions

Does it leave my lashes greasy?

Clinique's stated claim is that it removes makeup without an oily after-feel, which is one of the main differences from oil-based removers.

Do I rinse or wipe it off?

Both are permitted. Tissue it away if you're in a hurry, or rinse with water if you prefer a cleaner finish.

Is it suitable for sensitive eyes?

It is ophthalmologist tested and allergy tested, with no fragrance at all. Clinique describes it as their gentlest formula for this job.
