Began using it weeks after eyelid surgery and it removes eye makeup easily. My eyes are still dry and sensitive from the OP, but this remover does not sting. BUT why is there an open hole at the top of the bottle instead of a regulating pouring tip? If you dip Qtips into the bottle, it will contaminate the remover. If you pour, it shoots out more liquid than necessary. This should be an easy fix and would make it a 5-star product.

Love this except slight stinging when applied.

Have bought 3 times now. It’s extremely gentle and you dont need to rub around too much. No strong scent, water like texture, shake before use. Rinse off.
I get a weird rash under my eyes and the skin barrier gets so sensitive and burning from the majority of makeup removers besides this and a facial cleansing oil, but oils end up destroying my microfiber face cloths lol. The cream to foam cleanser of cerave in the green also complements this well, without irritating my skin. I use them both.

CeraVe makes wonderful products and I had high hopes for this one. Thought I would give it a whirl. Unfortunately, a big no. I am used to my tried and true remover that leaves no residue, no film and takes off all my eye makeup. The CeraVe felt extremely oily and left major residue/film after using. I always double cleanse, so in theory this is not an issue; however, the film was so “thick” that cleansing it off was a production. I do not have sensitive eyes, but this did indeed made my eyes sting even after doing the double cleansing. Oh well…..Back to my tried and true.

I had been using a popular, premoistened pad ( comes in a little plastic jar) for some time now. It did the job, but I had to rub my sensitive eye area a little more than I felt comfortable with. It also stung my eyes a little. I decided to try this eye makeup remover by CeraVe and am so very pleased! It only takes a few drops on a cotton pad to remove the eye makeup from both of my eyes. There is no burning afterwards, either. It seems to moisturize the skin around my eyes, but does not have an oily feel to it. The bottle looks small, but since I only have to use a few drops, this should last quite a while. This has been a game changer for me!

I only wear waterproof anything in the summer, and I forget how difficult it is to remove. In the past, I’ve used more oil based products, but they have begun to irritate my eyes. I decided to give this a try and my first go with it, I was not impressed!! Barely removed my makeup and left a film on my eyes for an hour or so. Second time, perfect! Removed every trace of my glitter waterproof eyeliner and mascara. The difference? First time I used a cotton ball, second time I used a cotton round pad. All in the tools you use! Will definitely purchase again.

I’m disappointed with CeraVe’s Makeup Remover. Actually quite disappointed. I’m usually a fan of their products, so I thought I’d give this a try. This barely removed any makeup I had on. Now let me say, I had very little eye makeup on. Only a light coating of mascara; one coat – not even waterproof. A VERY light dusting of highlight over my entire eyelid. That’s it. Come night when I went to remove my eye makeup – L’Oreal Bambi Mascara, I was having a difficult time removing that ONE VERY LIGHT COAT! That’s ridiculous. I used one of my new eye makeup remover pads on one eye and a very soft washcloth on the other. Both had some of the CeraVe Eye Makeup Remover on them. Outcome was just awful. I tried applying more product. Still having a difficult time removing some residual mascara. And remember, this was a LIGHT application of one coat, non-waterproof.
I thought I’d try the next day to give this another chance. I wore a bit more eye makeup and two coats of mascara. When it was time to remove, same issues, only more difficult, probably due to the waterproof mascara. I hated this remover really. I think this particular product is terrible and doesn’t stand up to what it says and is supposed to do!
I also personally don’t like Micellar products. While they are a step up from this for sure, I wouldn’t rate them very well in a poll. I’m a retired cosmetologist and at almost 64, me personally, I have used Baby Oil to remove my eye makeup all these years. And no issues with eye problems or sensitivity, etc. I would just add a small squirt on a clean, damp soft washcloth and gently remove my eye makeup. It did the job very fast..within about a minute for both eyes, even with heavier eye makeup and waterproof mascara. Over the last fifteen years approximately, I’ve switched to Organic Coconut Oil. I keep that Coconut Oil strictly for my makeup removal and such. Other bottles are in my kitchen for cooking, baking and smoothies.
In a “pinch” you can use Organic Avacado Oil (as it’s a mild oil and easy on the eyes). Of course practice cleanliness and use a soft damp cloth and do not touch the bottle again if it’s touched your eyes.
As I’ve said, I’m almost 64, a retired cosmetologist and have and continue to use this method of removal. I just like to keep with the times and try new products as this one by CeraVe. However, in my personal opinion of course, I don’t think it’s very good. Not everyone may agree, and that’s fine. But this is a waste of money in my opinion. And I use other CeraVe products.
I hope this is helpful or useful to you. If so, please click the “helpful” button. Thank you!

No rubbing needed, makeup comes right off and doesn’t leave an oily residue.

Love this. I like to use creamy type eye makeup remover vs the watery oil type. This effectively removed mascara and eyeshadow from both eyes using one cotton ball semi soaked with the remover. You do have to shake it because it we’ll settle when not in use but it left my eyes feeling clean and moisturized, not oily at all. One thing I think they could do to make it better is change the opening so you can control how much comes out better. Will keep purchasing this product.
