I ran out of my Body Shop eye makeup remover and wanted to try something new so I got this the other week while browsing through a chemist.
I started using this about a week ago and I find that this does a very good job. I haven't been wearing heavy or waterproof eye makeup - just some eye shadow and some DiorShow mascara (over DreamLash). The makeup remover takes this off easily and leaves the eye area feeling quite refreshed as well (bonus!) - and not dried out or oily.
It has the advantage of being 80% certified organic, and has the following ingredients: lavender hydrosol, chamomile extract, echinacea, ginko biloba, green tea, lavender, glyceryl cocoate, aloe barbadenis, witch hazel, vegetable glycerin, methyl/propylparaben, and pure essential oils. So, as you can imagine, it also smells very nice 
I hated it the first time I used it because it stung my eyes like hell! It was after a very late night though the day prior so my eyes were probably irritated. I decided to try it again and haven't had the problem again.
Very happy with this I'll most probably repurchase this (unless the Pond's one I will soon be trying will be even better  ), even though the only chemist that I have seen this at is quite far away (the local health food shop only has *some* of the Avalon Organics stuff and this is not one of the items they stock). |

| I just finished this and won't be repurchasing. It's been too hit&miss for me. Most days this is great but at least once a week it will sting like hell! I think this happens when my eyes are more tired. Still, there are other eye makeup removers that don't sting so I will be trying something else. Next up in line is the Pond's one that Mariav recommended to me a while ago |

Yonka Lait Nettoyant Cleansing Milk is wonderful for removing even heavy eye make-up and has never once irritated my peepers  |
