If your avene eye cleanser leaves your sensitive lids stinging or irritated, your formula may be working against you. This gentle aqueous gel is pH-balanced to match your tears, so it never burns on contact. Your delicate eye area gets clean, calm skin, not redness.

Key Benefits

  • No-sting formula: pH-balanced to match tears, safe for reactive and fragile skin.
  • Removes stubborn mascara: aqueous gel dissolves waterproof makeup without tugging your lids.
  • Soothes with Avene Thermal Spring Water: calms irritation around the sensitive eye contour.
  • Clear, non-greasy finish: leaves no filmy residue, so your vision stays unobscured.
  • Free from oils, fragrances, and parabens: hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic for daily use.

Key Ingredients

Avene Thermal Spring Water: sourced from the Avene spring in southern France, it soothes and softens the delicate skin around your eyes. Poloxamer 188: a gentle surfactant that lifts and dissolves makeup without harsh scrubbing. Sorbitol: a mild humectant that helps keep your skin feeling comfortable and hydrated after cleansing. Phenethyl Alcohol: a skin-friendly preservative that maintains formula purity without known irritants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this eye makeup remover safe for contact lens wearers?

Yes, the formula is pH-balanced to match your tears and free from oils and fragrances, making it a good fit for contact lens wearers. Always remove lenses before cleansing and consult your eye care professional if you have specific concerns.

Does it remove waterproof mascara without rubbing?

Yes, the aqueous gel formula is designed to dissolve waterproof makeup with minimal pressure on your lids. Apply to a cotton pad, hold gently over the lash line for a few seconds, then sweep away without tugging or repeated rubbing.

How is this different from the Avene Intense Eye Make-Up Remover?

This gentle formula uses an aqueous, oil-free gel suited for reactive or fragile skin. The Intense version is formulated for heavier, more stubborn waterproof makeup. If your skin is highly sensitive or easily irritated, this gentle option is the better starting point.

Do I need to rinse after using this remover?

No, rinsing is not required. The formula is designed to be wiped away with a cotton pad, leaving no residue. Following up with a fine spray of Avene Thermal Spring Water, as suggested in the usage guide, can add an extra layer of soothing comfort.
