"This is a very gentle but effective product. It removes all traces of eye make-up, including mascara, which is notoriously difficult to get off, and yet is not harsh on your eyelids and doesnt leave them red or stinging afterwards as some other removers have done to me in the past. It is also very good at removing lipstick, even of the very red kind, that can stain your lips. Just wipe it over your mouth with some cotton wool wetted with this lotion and all lipstick and stains disappear instantly."
