Eye makeup remover

Hi, I had a reaction to the Sephora and to the Clinique eye makeup remover… its itching and then it kinda leaves the skin burned. 
I also tried Bioderma Atoderm intensive eye and I think it does the same reaction.. (waiting to retry it when I Will be completly healed) 

 

I Always used baby wipes … wanted to have a more effective option but well 😔

 

any suggestions ?

 

Thank you 

Re: Eye makeup remover

Hey, @princesshappy , I'd encourage you to, if you can, avoid using eye makeup and anything irritating until the skin heals. Then you can use a cleansing oil (as recommended below) or a gentle cleansing balm Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm . As someone with sensitive eyes, I like to use the balm in combination with a Make Up Eraser The Original MakeUp Eraser MakeUp Eraser® PRO Pink Reusable Makeup Remover . I would recommend if you use an oil or balm, put on dry skin and emulsify with gentle rubbing and wipe off with a gentle cloth. If you're using micellar water or biphasic remover (remember to shake these up), what I like to do, is hold a Shiseido Super-Soft, 100% Natural Facial Cotton 165 sheets (or similar cotton) damp with the micellar water/makeup remover to my closed eye for like 15-30 seconds and then wipe, but not too aggressively. (It may be the case that part of irritation came from rubbing too aggressively). Good luck!! 

Re: Eye makeup remover

Sorry to hear about your skin not taking to those products @princesshappy. I hope the healing process goes quickly and smoothly for you.

 

For eye makeup removal, my go-to's are either Bioderma Sensibio - H2O Micellar Water (clear bottle, pink cap) or MAKE UP FOR EVER Gentle Eye Gel Waterproof Eye & Lip Makeup Remover 4.2 oz / 125 ml - my eyes get very sensitive in the springtime (allergies) and when I do wear eye makeup then, I use the Make Up For Ever remover. There's also a mini version MAKE UP FOR EVER Mini Gentle Eye Gel Waterproof Eye & Lip Makeup Remover 1.6 oz / 50 ml available.

 

I recently tried Typology 7-Ingredient Micellar Water (part of 2025 Advent Calendar) and it's gentle and effective. I haven't used it on my eyes whe they're at their most sensitive but it seems to work as gently as the other two I mentioned.

I’ve had reactions to several eye makeup removers too, and baby wipes sometimes feel safest. Prada Beauty customer service

offers a range of gentle skincare and makeup products, plus their customer service can guide you to options suited for sensitive eyes and suggest safer removers or sets. You can contact them via their website, live chat, or email for tailored advice.
