Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Moisturizing Remover for waterproof Eye Makeup - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2025)

This stuff is super duper oily. It's pretty much putting baby oil on your eyes. Yeah it removes the makeup but you deal with the oily mess after and who the hell wants to rinse it off like the...

I very much dislike this product, but not for the reasons everybody else seems to. I do NOT wear waterproof mascara so I had no pulling, tugging or rubbing my eyes. This is so oily.... it actually...

Oily beyond compare and couldn't get any of the stubborn bits of make up that fell between my eyelashes. I felt like I lost a handful of eyelashes from all the tugging I had to do and all the oil...

This is amazing! I don't understand all the bad reviews on this product. Though it can be a little greasy, it removes all my eyeshadow/liner in one swipe and completely breaks down waterproof...

Nope. This makeup remover is no good. Its basically mineral oil and chemicals. I should have just looked at the ingredients before I bought this BUT I remember liking it when I was a kid...

The worst make-up remover I have ever tried. Not only it doesn't remove waterproof makeup (or regular makeup either), it also just leaves an annoying film IN your eyes unless you wash and scrub...

This did not remove eye makeup effectively, and it left an oily film in my eyes for several hours after use.

I am surprised that so many people find this product to be unsatisfactory. Yes, it is oily but I find that I desire such consistensy when it comes to taking off eye products and for me it is...

Love it! It removes EVERYTHING with very little effort. It is very oily, which some people hate, but I actually enjoy the feeling. Sometimes when I wear harsh eye makeup for a while the oiliness...

Eh. This product is okayy if you have to use it, but it just leaves a mess of its own. Sure its moisturizing, but whenever i try to use it it leaves such a greasy, oily mess all over my eye. It...

This is by far the most outlandish, sorry excuse of a make-up remover that has ever graced the face of this earth. Although it does get the job done, this make-up remover takes an extremely...

This product did not suit me. It is super oily but it didn't remove make up like other oily remover. And it burns my eye so bad. I would not bu it again.

I don't like this, it does remove makeup okay, but leaves a gross oily residue that's hard to get rid of. I don't recommend

I'm surprised that so many people dislike this product. To be fair, it's the only eye makeup remover I've ever used, but that's because it works for me. I have sensitive eyes but haven't noticed...

I actually hated this eye make up remover. Its so ridiculously oily that it gets all over everything. You cant use it to get rid of excess make up underneath your eyes because it either gets into...

Seriously the worst eye make up remover ever. It manages to take off my foundation, etc. but takes forever to remove my mascara and eyeliner. I'm often left with traces of liner and clumps of...
