Our tester says, 'I often find eye make-up removers either too harsh on my sensitive skin, ineffective or oily, so I was keen to try this version that's free from alcohol and fragrance. It easily removed my waterproof mascara, eye pencil and liquid liner, but still felt light, non-irritating and refreshing.

'It's not cheap, but if you wear lots of eye make-up every day, like me, it's worth investing in.'

Zest rating: 4 out of 5

The best product I have found for removing all make-up, including eye make-up is Boots No7 cleanser. I use it in the morning on bare skin and again in the evening for removing make-up. It feels gorgeous and there is no stinging in the eyes with it. I follow this by soaking and wringing out a face cloth with hot water for a steam-clean finish.
