    Can anyone recommend me a good eye make up remover for sensitive eyes? Something that gets off mascara well without having to use too much force if possible, I've tried a few and they either sting or take a lot of effort to get my eye make up off. Thanks.

    Have one from lancome, don't know the exact name of it but it's a blue liquid. It seems to do the job , it doesn't sting either :)

    +1 for this, great stuff. I actually saw it in TK Maxx, Stephen's Green a few weeks ago!

    Is it something like Bi-facial?

    I like the Clinque one in purple with the oil. Pricey but very good!

    Yeah I think bi-facial is the name sounds familiar!

    The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof make-up remover. Lasts for ages, and is designed for sensitive eyes. It's great, and not too expensive.

    + one to that. The Simple cream one is lovely. I have super sensitive skin, any kind of contact turns my face into a tomato, but that stuff is so smooth and gentle.. not to mention relatively cheap in terms of beauty products!

    does the job for me, managed to remove the awful waterproof mascara i had on at the weekend that destroyed my eyelashes :) i have sensitive eyes and never had a problem with this one. it was also good for taking off fake eyelashes, they just wiped off :)

    Yep - this one is brill.

    Just hold a soaked cotton pad onto your eyes for a few seconds and the make up will melt away.

    Cheap as chips too!

    I've used both. That Clinique one stung the eyes outta me. Best make-up remover around, if you don't have weird sensitive eyes.

    I've also tried this but it does take a good bit of scrubbing.

    Think I'll just go back to Johnson's & johnson's Baby Lotion. Smells lovely too.

    Yeah that one is good. Has anyone ever tried johnsons baby oil? I find that's pretty good for gettin mascara off.

    i would SWEAR by Coconut Oil- as found in health food stores/supermarkets.
    Its natural (solid at room temp) and wont sting your eyes. It can be expensive and comes in big tubs usually but you can use it as an all over body moisturiser (smells DIVINE)..... it will last for AGES! I have had mine almost 5months now!
    Just smear some on your finger tips and gently smear over eye area- Make up MELTS off! Voila! Brilliant and multifunctional!:)

    The best one I've used is Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil Free Make Up Remover (I think). I have really really sensitive eyes and this stuff is great, doesn't drag your skin at all either.

    I've gotten it in my eye a few times too and it didn't hurt! Also takes off all mascara, never woken up with panda eyes since getting this. And they have it on 3 for 2 or 2 for €7.50 in boots all the time. :)

    Great, thanks everyone. Think I'll try fonpoko's suggestion out first seeing as it sounds good for us sensitive types :) and see how I get on but thanks a million for all the suggestions.
