Application not as expected.. could be better
Also bought this thinking it could easily remove eye makeup (mascara & eyeliner) via the flip top cap with small opening. NOPE. there is no opening,,, you have to unscrew the top cap to pour the remover onto your cotton pad. keep in mind, you have to shake the bottle to mix the ingredients, and then remove the cap and then pour onto cotton pad. I have done this but i really doesnt remove all my mascara. i end up cleaning any mascara resident with an ocusoft eyelid scrub pad.

Me encanta
My preference is the makeup remover that I like for its ease of use and those received and the results they offer I value that it generates a little residue, has a pleasant aroma and good durability. I am also very interested in the situation on the skin, looking for it to be soft and comfortable, refreshing, without cause that leaves it on the skin, looking for it to be soft, refreshing

Formula Changed - 2026
I normally love this eye makeup remover. The last one I bought now contains alcohol; third ingredient from the bottom. It now stings my eyes. Please go back to the formula that you have listed on your website. This New Look/New Formula is awful.

Very good makeup remover
It’s great. It removes your makeup very well. Packaging is just okay but the outside of the plastic can feel oily after use. Maybe because some of the remover goes down the plastic easy.

Gentle for sensitive skin
This product does a great job with getting all my eye and lip makeup off! Does not clog my pores and it’s fast and doesn’t have a fragrance to it! It does however leave your face a little bit oily.

The only eye makeup remover you’ll need
This has been my favorite makeup remover for over 5 years now! I repurchase over and over again cuz it’s just that good. Especially at removing eye makeup. I use it with a cotton pad and it’s super simple!

Gentle, effective, and perfect for sensitive skin
I've been using Cetaphil products for years, and this makeup remover is one of my favorites. It removes makeup gently without irritating my skin or leaving behind any greasy residue. I love how lightweight and portable the bottle is, and the consistency feels very soft on sensitive skin. It takes off even long-wear makeup easily while keeping my face feeling clean and hydrated. Great value for the quality and perfect for everyday use.

Gentle and great for waterproof mascara
One thing that I really love about this makeup remover is that it doesn’t sting or burn my eyes like other makeup removers do. It feels very oily which helps remove even waterproof mascara. I do sometimes have to go in a couple of times, just to make sure everything is removed. Didn’t cause any breakouts, redness, or leave any residue.

Irritation-free remover
This Cetaphil makeup remover is very soothing on the skin. I have very sensitive skin, and other products irritate my skin. I’m happy to have found this everyday makeup remover that doesn’t feel heavy on my skin or leave any redness.

Gentle on the skin and great value
It was so easy to apply and gentle on the skin. Cetaphil products are great value and show great results with continuous care. I have tried many expensive cleansers too, but Cetaphil balances quality with value.

Good basic option
This makeup remover is decent for every day use. It’s very gentle and doesn’t cause irritation or dryness, which I appreciate it. However it struggles a bit with waterproof makeup and requires multiples passes to fully remove everything.

Remove makeup easily
Cetaphil is a reliable, gentle skincare staple that works well for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It feels mild and non irritating, doesn’t have a strong scent, and leaves skin clean or hydrated without stripping it.
