Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent 125ml is an oil-free, fragrance-free liquid eye makeup remover from Clinique's long-running Cleansing Range. The lightweight, water-based formula lifts away mascara, eye-shadow and eyeliner — including most water-resistant formulas — without leaving an oily film on the lids or lashes, and rinses cleanly with water. Ophthalmologist tested and suitable for sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers.
About Clinique
Clinique was founded in 1968 in New York as the first dermatologist-led prestige skincare line, and built its reputation on allergy-tested, fragrance-free formulas designed for daily use. The Cleansing Range is one of the brand's oldest pillars — built around the long-standing 3-Step routine — and the Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent has been a quiet staple of the line for decades.
Key ingredients
- PEG-32 and PEG-6 — mild surfactants that dissolve makeup and surface impurities so they can be lifted away cleanly.
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate — a gentle, coconut-derived amphoteric cleanser, also widely used in baby washes.
- Butylene Glycol — humectant that helps the formula glide and prevents tightness.
- Trisodium EDTA — a stabiliser that keeps the formula consistent in hard water.
Key benefits
- Removes eye makeup quickly without rubbing
- Oil-free — won't leave a residue on lashes or around the eyes
- Fragrance-free and ophthalmologist tested
- Safe for sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers
- Formulated without parabens and phthalates
- Doesn't sting or blur vision on contact
Who it's for
Best for people who wear daily eye makeup and want a clean, no-grease remove — particularly those with oily, combination or breakout-prone skin who avoid oil-based eye-makeup balms. The mild, fragrance-free formula also suits sensitive eyes and contact-lens wearers, and pairs well with the rest of the Clinique 3-Step routine.
How to use
- Shake the bottle gently before use.
- Saturate a cotton pad with the solvent (or use a cotton bud for spot work).
- Press onto the closed eyelid for a few seconds to dissolve mascara and eyeliner.
- Sweep gently downwards across the lashes and outwards across the lid.
- Rinse the area with water or follow with your usual face cleanser.
