Best eye makeup remover!
-05.06.13
Quick Take: nourishing, fantastic at waterproof eye makeup!
This is the best eye makeup remover I have used and always go right back to after trying something else. It is very effective in removing my waterproof mascara and liner and I have no breakage of lashes using it. Can't do without it!

Excellent product!

Definitely worth the money. One swipe takes off eye & lip makeup. Don't have to rub. Very gentle & takes it all off in one wipe. Awesome.

Great product!
-04.23.13
Quick Take: nourishing, calming, effective
I've been using this product for almost a year now! I love it for removing my eye makeup; just a gentle swipe around my eye gets everything off and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. I also feel like it conditions my eyelashes, maybe that's just me...? Love everything about it though

Great remover!
-03.19.13
I've used the Lancome eye makeup remover in the past and decided to give the Bobbi Brown product a try. I was instantly hooked after trying this! It's smooth and doesn't irritate your eyes. The bottle also has a nice inner cap that controls the amount released onto the cotton ball. I only wear mascara and eyeliner and this product does a great job removing the makeup. Highly recommend anyone curious to try this product as you will like it so much better than other eye makeup removers!

Amazing! Takes off stubborn mascara!
-01.16.13
Quick Take: nourishing
I've used so many makeup removers: sephora, dermablend, bare essentials and nothing compares to this one! The others left raccoon eyes after my shower, but not Bobbi brown! Pricey but so worth it. Takes off my UD primer, eyeshadows, and diorshow blackout waterproof mascara!

The best!
-01.11.13
Quick Take: nourishing, non-greasy
I had previously used Sephora's eye makeup remover, but found leftover mascara under my eyes after using it. With Bobbi Brown, however that is not the case. It takes off all my eye makeup without rubbing & scrubbing. Plus my skin feels soft afterward...no greasiness. Costs more, but worth it!

Best way to get off waterproof mascara
-01.07.13
This make up remover has a bit of oil in it. It is enough to effectively remove my waterproof mascara without being overly oily. Without a product like this you would have to pull this kind of mascara off of your eyelashes to get it off and then you run the risk of pulling out your lashes!

Works well but need to use a lot for results
-01.05.13
This product definitely cuts through tough eye make-up, including BB's long wearing eye pencils. But you have to use a TON of product in order for it to work. I've had the bottle for a month and it's almost gone - I expected it to last longer than that and I can't see myself buying a $25 bottle of remover monthly.

My favorite Make up remover Ever!
-11.25.12
Quick Take: fantastic
I purchased this makeup remover years ago and really loved it. I wear a lot of eye makeup - liner, mascara, glitter liner, cream shadows, etc. This makeup remover is great at getting it all off. I have purchased other makeup removers and they are still sitting around taking up space. Sometimes I will start to take off my makeup with them but I need my trusty Bobbi Brown to finish the job. Love it.

Very happy
-11.25.12
I have crazy sensitive eyes. So the hunt for an eye makeup remover that isn't harsh and doesn't sting is an endless battle for me (I have tried Clinique, Lancome, Makeup Forever, etc.). I previously used Philosophy's Release Me, which didn't sting, but took effort to remove all of my eye makeup...and I ended up losing a few eye lashes every night in the process...my lids were going bald!
I decided to give this one a try based on the reviews and since it looks like a similar consistency as the Philosophy. I also hoped it wouldn't sting as well and possibly be more effective. I got my wish! No eye lashes lost and all my eye makeup came off more quickly. Just let the product on your cotton swab/pad sit on your eye for 15 seconds or so first and then begin to gently wipe.
My only gripe about this product is the opening at the top of the bottle...doesn't seem to dispense enough product. Not a big enough problem for me to not be happy with it or reduce the number of stars!
So you ladies with the super sensitive eyes, give this one a try...

Quick Take: fabulous!!!
I have never used makeup remover for my eyes. I usually use water based mascara, and felt I didn't need it. Then I received a sample of this product and loved it!! It totally removes all my eye makeup and is very gentle. It is now a permanent addition to my skin care routine!

Works well, but poor bottle design.
-10.14.12
Quick Take: gentle, powerful
This product is great for removing waterproof makeup. I didn't have to rub hard to get it off, and it did not hurt my eyes at all when it got in them. My only complaint is the bottle design. I feel like you either get barely any product out, or a flood. It would by nice if had either a smaller or larger opening. So, great product, but not so great package!

Great Makeup remover
-09.20.12
It does its job quite well, without leaving your skin dry. It is very gentle for eyes too. I tried few other makeup removers just to see if anything is better than this but had to come back to it.
