I always love using coconut oil to clean my eye makeup. It is nourishing to my brows and lashes too. But nowadays, i come home late and I feel so tired to use coconut oil and clean it up. So these days I prefer using eye makeup removers specially formulated to remove long staying makeup.
After using different brands including lakme, Maybelline and avon, I decided to give the Neutrogena one a try. The purchase was impulsive as I actually went to get their toner and instead purchased this one. K
Now I am here with its review after using up almost the whole bottle. :D
It is called the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. It comes in pretty basic transparent blue plastic bottle with no dispenser and just a plastic cap that can be screwed in. Though the cap closes tight, I am not sure if it is travel friendly.
What Neutrogena says about this product:
Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover takes off even waterproof eye makeup without leaving an oily residue.
Forget harsh tugging and pulling. This ultra-gentle dual phase formula activates when shaken to remove all eye makeup—even waterproof mascara—without any greasy residue. It is ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens wearers and oil free.
Take off all your eye makeup the gentle way.

Review:
It is undoubtedly one of the best makeup removers I have ever used. As claimed, it removes even the most stubborn mascaras without having to fight with it. All I do take a cotton round, place it in the bottle’s opening and invert it twice so that it gets a little product and that is sufficient to remove my kohl, mascara, eyeliner and what not.!
The bonus is it never irritated my eyes. Immediately after removal, it feels little greasy but dries up swiftly.
Yes it is priced at Rs. 375/- for a bottle but I feel that it is perfectly worth it. One bottle lasts me for almost two months that too on regular usage.
It is also like the bi-phased formula where you need to shake the bottle before use.
How i took it during my 5-day Trip:
I took it with me during my 5 day trip and what I did was, I poured a little of this remover into an spill proof small tupperwear box and placed around 7 cotton rounds over it and again poured a little over the cotton rounds in such a way that all the cotton rounds were saturated sufficiently without being drenched and dripping. I took the box with me and used it as a wet eye makeup removing wipes. It worked perfectly and did not dry up during the trip.
But that said, I would gladly pay Rs.50 extra if it came with a pump dispenser or some sort of restrictor.
In the demonstration below, I have used my super stubborn amway attitude liner in jade green, Kryolan skin liner, Lakme absolute kohl etc. You see how impressive it is. Just two gentle swipes and all gone!

After Single Swipe:
After Two Swipes:
Pros: Gently removes even stubborn eye makeup, does not irritate my eyes, no need to rub harshly, does not dry out the skin around my eyes, does not feel too greasy, safe for sensitive eyes, Ophthalmologist tested and economic considering the amount of product required for single use.
Cons: There is no dispenser in the bottle. Packing could have been better.
Highly recommended!
