I use Liz Earle Eyebright. Soak two cotton pads, hold on my eyes for a few seconds and then sweep it off. I never need more cotton pads. Does Sephora carry this? I don’t know as I’m in the UK. But I think it is available in the US.

I use the microfiber clothes like Snowsilver. If I’m really tired at night, I just use those & they take off everything including my waterproof mascara. Otherwise, I follow up by cleansing with Dove soap for the extra moisturizing.

Thank you for sharing the links to the reusable pads. I was considering making my own because I wanted to get away from using disposable pads and wipes. Now I don't have to drag out my sewing machine, and I've got Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers off the list for sisters, mom, and daughter for this year!!

These are the alternatives to cotton wool that I'm going to try because I find the bigger cloths a bit unwieldy Make up remover pads

So, this isn't sold as a make up remover but you find it works well? Yes it is an eye make-up remover. It’s also used as an eye mask and soother. I keep it in the fridge in summer and use it on hayfever eyes. It might not work on the strongest of waterproof mascaras but I don’t wear that. It works on every mascara I’ve worn. Ok, thanks I wonder why it isn't marketed as such?

I use Purity Philosophy on my face and eyes most of the time. I also like Clinique Take the Day Off.

Neutragena make up removing wipes. They work on the waterproof mascara and everything else plus leave a little mositurizer behind These were a life-changer for me. Neutrogena wipes

Coconut oil. Before that, since I was 18, I used baby oil. I attribute that to the fact that I have very few lines/crow's feet around my eyes. I very gently massage it around my eyes and gently wipe it off before washing my face.

I always used one cotton pad with any makeup remover and any mascara I used. Now I use a makeup eraser knock off cloth. Just need water and it's reuseable.

Simple Oil Cleanser. Everything comes off easily, including my waterproof mascara. It's like $6 at Target. Yup. Oil cleanser is how I do it too. Followed by a moisturizing cleanser like Cerave. My oil cleanser is Freeman's. Also from Target.

I use the Norwex cloths and love them, especially while traveling. I also have coconut oil on hand for when I used to do shows and had heavy waterproof mascara with false eyelashes (and the glue). In case the cloths aren’t enough (which has only been once maybe twice in 5 years).

The QVC website still sells it as a make-up remover! Maybe it doesn’t remove the very latest waterproof mascara so they changed the description!? Anyway, it works for me

Enjo eye pads and just water. They are amazing. No plastic bottles or chemicals involved!

Lately, just micellar water on those disposable rounds. One round does both eyes. My travel case has the disposable pop-up type wiping cloths as they are easier for travel.

I’m a fan of Almay eye removal pads. Work great and no funky smell either. About $5-6 so a little more than I would like to pay but they work great. Used them for years!

I double cleanse with Tatcha camellia cleansing oil and cerave foaming dash wash. I use both of those on my eyes but I usually use Thrive Causemetics liquid lash extensions mascara and it just rubs off with a little water. If I use different mascara I like to use bye bye makeup, Farmacy green clean or Clinique take the day off balm to remove it.
ETA that I also use a microfiber cloth to wash my face and eyes at night. I use a new one each day.

Origins Well Off is the only thing that doesn't irritate my eyes. It takes it off in one or two swipes of a cotton pad.

Another coconut oil user here. Works better then anything else I've tried, even Pond's cold cream. I massage it in, use a hot washcloth to remove my makeup and then a gentle facial soap. My skin looks better then it has in years!

I only wear waterproof eye makeup, so I use an oil cleanser.
I used to use Tatcha’s Camellia Cleansing Oil but it’s a little pricey. So I now use Etude House’s Cleansing Oil.
You don’t even need cotton rounds or a washcloth.

Coconut oil takes it right off. Even with my wet and wile eyeshadow prime and that stuff is super glue for eyeshadow I was using coconut oil, and it DOES work-- but I got a milia? (little bump) on the bridge of my nose. Switched away from the coconut oil, and it went away.

I’ve been using Vaseline to remove eye makeup and waterproof mascara for as long as I can remember. Wipes off with a tissue. Me, too! I've tried a couple of other products and always go back to Vaseline!
