Makeup: never stays on during the day, never comes off at night.
Promising review: "I'm a lazy person. I tell myself that I'll take my makeup off before bed, but I usually don't — so it winds up on my pillow and seeps into my pores. Yuck! But I actually don't mind using these to remove all of my makeup. These are just a couple of swipes and then you're done." —Amanda

Promising review: "I have been using this remover since it came out. This is the only eye makeup remover that doesn't burn my eyes! I've tried to finding cheaper alternatives in the past, but they always irritated my eyes, made them feel dry, or just didn't work. This just removes makeup so well!" —Scrappyrn

Promising review: "This product leaves a slight oily residue, but that's great for me because I have dry skin. It takes very little to get all your makeup off and it has a really nice scent! Plus, it doesn't irritate or burn my eyes either." —Perseus Mom

Promising review: "Before I started using this, I went through the pain of removing my eye makeup with a remover, then my face makeup with micellar water, and finally using a cleanser to wash my face. But this cleansing balm takes all my makeup off with ease. When first applied, you think it's going to be a greasy mess — but as soon as water hits it, the balm turns into a gentle, easy-to-rinse, milk-like consistency that rinse clean and quickly. I thought I would find similar products that were cheaper, but none of them could compare. This is something that I have to keep on hand at all times." —JulieAJB
Promising review: "This stuff is fantastic at cleaning your skin and getting rid of makeup. I have dry and dehydrated skin, and this cleans really gently — I can rub directly into my eye tear ducts with no irritation whatsoever. I will be putting this product on reorder. It's absolutely fantastic." —Alexis
