Review : Jurlique Eye Makeup Remover

Product Description
A moisture-based cream that safely, gently and effectively removes eye makeup and impurities without irritation. Skin is left feeling soothed and refreshed with no oily residue. Ophthalmologist-tested.

The Benefits:
  • Gentle emulsion to effectively remove eye makeup and impurities around the eye area.
  • Moisturizes and softens delicate skin around the eye.
Key Ingredients:
  • Jojoba Oil provides protection and hydration while gently cleansing the eye of makeup.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil helps smooth and moisturize delicate skin around the eye.
  • Echinacea, Dandelion and Calendula help to protect and soothe this fragile skin.

I picked this up from Feelunique, only to realize, to my dismay that the expiry date is pretty close, which probably explained why its on promotion. I detest the fact that the online shop have not been forthcoming in stating the near-expiry dates on their sites, unlike Strawberrynet or Iherb.

Made in Australia, this handy tube at 40ml comes with a twist and turn cap and a pliable body tube that makes squeezing a breeze, though its probably not the prettiest sight.

The white creamy texture meant, I need to use my fingers to spread the contents on the cotton pads before I used it over my eyes, to reduce the chances of excess cream getting into my eyes.
While it has a light floral scent and the name implies that its gentle for the delicate eye, I felt that it has a minty and cooling touch and it stings the eyes with a warm but mild sensation.

Personally I do not like using cream-based products near the eyes as it has the tendency to get into my eyes and irritates it. This eye makeup remover was slightly better than my regular eye make-up remover where it did remove slightly more eyeliner and mascacra remnants, but a Q-tip still works the best. However I dislike the irritating warm and minty sensation on the eye area. My eyes did not turn red though.

It also leave a light milky film on the eyes area which meant that I needed to do a final water rinse before it feels completely clean.

It scored a miserable 2.2 from 10 users on Makeupalley.
