    Any recommendations? Usually use my miceller water but find I need to use alot to get rid of heavy eye make up - something cheap and cheerful that isn't damaging to the sensitive eye area.... Thanks :D

    You cannot beat baby oil. A bit of a squirt on a cotton pad and even the toughest waterproof mascara comes off. You cannot get cheaper.😉

    Coconut oil is amazing. Big jar for approx ten euro can use for everything. Small dab and wipe off with a cotton pad. Unreal.

    There's L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Gel suitable for sensitive eyes, I find it's great at getting everything off.

    I have sensitive eyes too & it hasn't bothered me. :)

    I cant find them online but there are boots essentials eye make up remover pads... So good! And also dead handy for cleaning your eyeliner brushes. I think they are under 2 euro

    I second the baby oil.

    I was using Simple for ages but I used to find itd sting my eyes a few minutes after removal. Now Im using a Nivea two tone one, its blue and clear liquids that separate, one is an oil

    Baby Oil. It's the only thing that doesn't sting for me.

    I like the Garnier or Boots Botanics ones, they have the oily consistency. I found non-oily ones would sting my eyes.

    Word of warning, coconut oil badly stings my eyes, be careful encase you get a similar reaction.

    I've just started to use almond oil to cleanse and remove makeup, so far I'm impressed!

    I have been using boots cucumber eye make up remover for years. I find it good but I wouldn't be a heavy or frequent eye make up wearer

    Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect is great! It's a fiver, so a bit more than some of them. But it's great for taking of mascara and eyeliner. The Botanics one from Boots is also quite good.

    I like the Garnier bi-phase one and the Botanics one linked above. My eyes are very easily irritated and those two work for me. I can't use baby oil as an eye make up remover at all! My eyes were streaming for about 20 minutes after using it, even worse than when I have hay fever :/

    Bi-phase eye make up removers (the ones you have to shake) really are the best for removing waterproof mascara etc IMO.
