About Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder is the long-established American luxury skincare and beauty brand, with a heritage stretching back to 1946. The Gentle Eye Makeup Remover sits within the brand's cleansing range as the lightweight, oil-free counterpart to richer balm and bi-phase removers — a no-fuss option for everyday eye-makeup removal that has been recommended for decades by professional makeup artists and dermatologists alike.
What you get
- 100ml liquid eye makeup remover
- Oil-free formula — no greasy residue
- Dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested
- Safe for contact lens wearers
- Gentle enough for daily use
- Helps condition the skin around the eyes
What it does
The lightweight formula works quickly to lift powder eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara and other eye makeup from the lash line and lid, without tugging at delicate skin. Because it leaves no oily film, you can re-apply eye makeup straight after use — a useful feature for makeup artists, brides on touch-up duty and anyone who needs to fix a smudge without restarting their entire base. Butylene glycol in the formula also helps condition the skin and lashes.
Who it's for
This is a strong pick for anyone with sensitive skin around the eyes, contact lens wearers, and those who prefer an oil-free formula that won't blur into vision or leave residue on lashes. It is also particularly useful for makeup artists, performers and theatre crews — environments where eyes need to be reset quickly without disturbing the surrounding makeup. Wearers of waterproof mascara and heavy eye makeup may want to follow up with a more emollient remover for the most stubborn pigments.
How to use
Shake the bottle gently before use. Saturate a cotton pad with a small amount of remover and hold against closed eyelids and lash line for a few seconds to let the formula loosen the makeup. Sweep gently downwards to lift away mascara and shadow without rubbing. Repeat with a fresh pad as needed until skin is clean. Rinse with cool water if desired and follow with your usual cleanser, eye cream and moisturiser.
