Marcelle Hypoallergenic and Fragrance-Free Gentle Makeup Remover Pads for Sensitive Eyes - 85 pads

Tons of pads. Takes off my stubborn waterproof mascara really well. Doesn't irritate my eyes

I typically dislike makeup removers specifically intended for waterproof makeup, because they leave a greasy film on my skin after using, but this one is not like that at all. I have a number of contact allergies, so I've been paying closer attention to the ingredients in my skin-care products, and of the makeup removers I looked at on the various apps like EWG, Yuka, SkinSafe, and INCI, this one seemed like it had the safest ingredients. Incidentally, the regular version of this makeup remover has salicylic acid in it, which isn't considered safe to use on the eyes. The pads aren't that wet, and I wish they had just a tad more liquid (this is my first jar, so maybe the next one will be wetter). I prefer them not to be too wet though, because then less of it seeps into my eyes. One side of the pad has a slightly rougher surface than the other, and I use that side when I first clean each eye, resting it on my lid and lashes for a few seconds before using the texture to "grab" onto the mascara and remove it. The smoother side I use to do a final swipe to clean eyeliner and everything else from the skin in my eye area. I wear tubing mascara, for reference, not traditional waterproof mascara, which (like most things) tends to be very irritating on me. My eyes feel clean after using this, which is saying a lot. I always do a final wash around my eyes and the rest of my face soon after, using a nonfoaming cleanser, so I can't say how well these pads would work if one wanted to immediately reapply makeup, but I suspect that these pads would work better than other makeup removers I've used. I wouldn't recommend it, though, since the concentration of ingredients that is allowed by law tends to be higher for products that are meant to be rinsed from the skin, and bloodshot eyes aren't a good look on me! Anyway, so far I'm really happy with these, and wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else!

These are amazing! I bought these waterproof makeup pads on a whim, as I remembered the original ones being decent and my mascara was proving to be a chore to remove. Not only do these remove mascara incredibly easily, but they take way less time than micellar water and require less rubbing in the eye area. Only complaint is that I wish they were thicker/ larger, but they are perfect!

Fait bien le travail, non gras mais le tampon est très mince.

These work well, still take a few swipes to remove market they what I like most is that they are so gentle!
