Rimmel Gentle Eye Make Up Remover






A while ago (as in many years) I was looking around for an eye make up remover.  I'd had a sample of Chanel biphase one which had been awesome but was also (I suspected) out of my price range for every day use.

I did a bit of research and this Rimmel product got some very promising reviews.  I've been using it ever since and have recommended it to other people who have been just as happy.  This includes people who wear contacts and have had issues with other products irritating their eyes.

In Australia this retails around $10 but last time I bought it I found it a bit tricky to find (in the end, I snared the last bottle in David Jones).  Maybe availability has improved since.

As an eye make up remover, all it has to do is remove eye make up.  It does the job well and unless you cake eye make up on or use some kind of industrial mascara you should be happy.  I find that generally only one or two wipes of the eyelid are required, with a bit more attention to eye lashes.  And while I recently raved about Lancôme's Hypnôse mascara, that too came off nicely with this product.

I should caveat this by noting that I do generally give the cotton pad a good soaking with the eye make up remover. My logic is that I don't want to be dragging anything across the delicate skin around the eyes, so the more the better. A big tick from me - definitely a go to product.

In theory, available where Rimmel is sold. RRP ~ $10.
