Benefits: Gentle yet effective results without greasy residue

A milky, balanced formula can break down stubborn pigments while keeping lids calm. The milky texture leaves the eye area feeling soft as it dissolves product without pulling or tugging. This area feeling soothed makes nightly removal less stressful for sensitive skin.

Milky texture leaves the eye area feeling soothed and comforted

The texture leaves eye contours calm and reduces friction during wipes or pads. It supports a gentle lift of pigments so lashes and lids avoid extra rubbing.

Removes longwear eye makeup and waterproof mascara

This formula targets longwear eye makeup and waterproof mascara by breaking down stubborn binders. That means fewer passes and less tugging on delicate skin.

Skin looks refreshed without greasy residue left behind

Users notice skin looking refreshed without greasy residue left or a cloudy film on lashes. A clean finish helps prep the area for a follow-up cleanser.

Helps restore the protective skin barrier with three essential ceramides

Barrier-supporting ingredients leave skin feeling soft and balanced immediately. The design reduces tightness and lowers irritation risk, making it a go-to for comforting eye and comforting eye makeup removal routines.

• Fast, low-friction removal that minimizes rubbing
• Leaves eye area calm and ready for cleansing
• Balanced efficacy and comfort for nightly use

Derm-developed ingredients that help restore skin’s natural balance

Ingredient science focuses on rebuilding the barrier while delivering gentle, effective removal. Formulas combine targeted lipids and humectants to leave the contour feeling soft and supported after use.

Three essential ceramides: Support a protective skin barrier

Three essential ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) reinforce the lipid matrix that keeps hydration in and irritants out. These essential ceramides help restore skin natural moisture by rebuilding barrier structure for lasting comfort.

Hyaluronic acid: Hydration for smooth, plump-looking skin

Hyaluronic acid draws and holds water at the surface to create a smooth, plump feel. It supports moisture balance so the area looks refreshed rather than tight after using a makeup remover.

Jojoba oil: Melting comfort during makeup removal

Jojoba oil provides slip and antioxidant-rich nourishment in balm formats. It helps longwear formulas melt away while leaving lids cushioned and soft.

• Cholesterol and phytosphingosine work with ceramides to complete the protective barrier.
• Ingredient choices balance performance with comfort for sensitive skin.
• Results: soft, hydrated contours that resist stripping and irritation.

Who it’s for: All skin types, including sensitive eyes

This range is designed to work across varied skin types, so everyone in the household can use it with confidence. Formulas suit normal, dry, oily, combination, and mature skin while caring for the delicate eye area.

Ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested, the line helps reduce the chance of irritation. It is non-comedogenic and safe for contact lens wearers when used as directed.

Normal, dry, oily, combination, mature—skin type inclusive

The textures range from lightweight liquids to melting balms and travel-friendly wipes. This variety lets users pick what fits their routine and preferences.

Ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for contact lens wearers

Gentle removal reduces rubbing and repeated passes, which helps keep the area comfortable day to day. For those who switch between minimal and longwear looks, performance stays reliable.

• Formulated for all skin types and household flexibility
• Tested standards to lower irritation risk around the eye area
• Compatible with contact lens wear and non-comedogenic for pore health

“Patch-test if you have ultra-sensitive skin, even though these products undergo careful clinical testing.”

How to use this eye makeup remover in your nightly routine

Simple, repeatable steps make nightly removal fast and gentle. Use this PM-only method with the Comforting bi-phase formula to lift longwear pigments while protecting the delicate contour.

Shake well: Activate the bi-phase formula

Shake the bottle thoroughly until the two phases blend into a milky mix. This activation helps the oil and water phases break down waterproof product.

First step: Saturate, hold, and gently wipe

Saturate a cotton pad and press it over your closed eye for several seconds to dissolve pigments. Then gently wipe away without rubbing to remove makeup.

Pro tips: Repeat if needed and follow with a cleanser

If you wear heavy or waterproof looks, repeat the process to avoid extra friction. Use a fresh pad for each side to prevent transfer.

• Use gentle downward strokes along lashes to protect lash health.
• Follow immediately with a cleanser to lift residue and complete your skincare routine.
• Cap tightly after use and store at room temperature to maintain formula integrity.

Choosing the right formula makes nightly removal faster and gentler. Below are simple options so you can pick what fits your routine and skin needs.

Comforting option: Bi-phase, gentle yet effective

Comforting eye uses a bi-phase, milky texture that lifts longwear pigments and waterproof mascara. It blends ceramides and hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier while it helps remove makeup.

Hydrating micellar water: 3‑in‑1 cleanse, hydrate, remove makeup

This hydrating liquid cleanses, hydrates, and removes makeup in one step. Formulated with ceramides and niacinamide, it suits sensitive skin types and cuts routine time.

Plant-based wipes: On-the-go, non-greasy feel

Plant-based wipes remove dirt, oil, and eye product with a light finish. They are handy for travel or quick changes and help with stubborn mascara without leaving a greasy film.

Makeup removing balm: Velvety melt for longwear

The velvety balm melts into skin to dissolve longwear looks and full-face foundation. Enriched with ceramides and jojoba oil, it offers a cushiony cleanse that feels indulgent yet effective.

• Match formats to skin types and habits: liquid for speed, balm for a deep melt, wipes for travel, bi-phase for focused eye removal.
• Consider ingredients: ceramides and hyaluronic acid for barrier support; niacinamide in micellar water for calm-looking skin.
• Build flexibility into your routine: use the comforting option for eye makeup and pair with a micellar water or balm for the face.

“Choose the format that fits your wear level—light looks need less removal force, longwear needs targeted lift.”

Safety standards you can trust

Safety starts with formulas designed to reduce irritation around delicate skin. These options are developed to meet careful clinical standards and everyday needs.

Fragrance-free, colorant-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free choices minimize common triggers that irritate the eye area. This safety-first profile helps protect sensitive lids while delivering effective removal.

Non-comedogenic testing reduces the risk of clogged pores while the product works on lashes and lash lines. Ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested standards support daily use for contact lens wearers and sensitive skin.

Careful formulation also supports the skin barrier and broader protective skin needs without compromising performance. Textures are engineered to feel gentle and leave no greasy residue or residue left that could interfere with comfort.

• Clean finish: works without greasy feel and leaves no residue left.
• Gentle textures: designed to keep the eye area calm after use.
• Practice safe use: follow directions and avoid aggressive rubbing to support tolerability.

“Dermatologist-driven development guides every formula to balance safety and dependable performance.”

Build a complete CeraVe skincare routine

Start your nightly regimen by targeting delicate areas first so heavier cleansers can focus on the rest of your face. Using a focused remover as the first step reduces rubbing and helps active treatments work better.

Makeup removal: Eye remover, wipes, balm, or micellar water

Use a focused Comforting Eye product to lift eye makeup before you cleanse the face. Choose wipes, micellar water, or a balm based on texture and how much product you wear.

Cleanse and hydrate: Follow with a non-greasy cleanser and hydrating toner

After targeted removal, follow with a gentle, non-greasy cleanser to remove residue and sunscreen without harming the skin barrier. Then add a hydrating toner with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to soften and smooth.

• Order matters: eye makeup first, full-face removal next, then cleanse, tone, treat, and moisturize.
• Tailor for skin types: pick a creamy cleanser for dry skin, a gel for oily types, or a balanced option for combination skin.
• Seal it in: finish with a moisturizer to lock hydration and keep treatments effective overnight.

Consistent order — targeted removal, clean, hydrate, treat, moisturize — keeps the routine efficient and protects delicate areas. Thoroughly removing eye product can also improve the results of serums and creams applied afterward.
