Avène Gentle Eye Makeup Remover 125ml is a fluid-gel cleanser created to dissolve everyday and waterproof eye makeup while respecting delicate, sensitive and reactive skin around the eyes. The pH is close to that of tears, helping minimise stinging and discomfort, which makes it especially suitable if you wear contact lenses or experience irritation on the eyelids. Avène Thermal Spring Water and gentle cleansing agents work together to remove mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow without rubbing, leaving the eye contour feeling fresh, hydrated and comfortable rather than tight or dry. Dermatologically developed for sensitive and hypersensitive skin, this fragrance-free, oil-free formula offers an elegant balance between effective makeup removal and everyday eye care.

Key Features

Gentle yet effective cleansing: Removes everyday and waterproof eye makeup, including stubborn mascara, while respecting the delicate eye contour and lashes.
Ideal for sensitive eyes: pH balanced and isotonic to tears to help reduce stinging, redness and discomfort, even on sensitive or hypersensitive eyes and reactive eyelids.
Contact lens compatible: Designed to be well tolerated by contact lens wearers, offering thorough cleansing without leaving a greasy film that could cloud lenses or vision.
Hydrating aqua-gel texture: Fresh, non-greasy gel texture with sorbitol and Avène Thermal Spring Water helps maintain moisture, so the eyelid area feels soft, supple and comfortable after use.
Minimalist, fragrance-free formula: Short ingredient list without fragrance, parabens or soap supports a gentle routine and reduces the likelihood of irritation compared with many traditional eye makeup removers.

The formula is described as suitable for contact lens wearers, thanks to its non-greasy aqua-gel texture and excellent ocular tolerance. It removes makeup without leaving a film that could blur vision, which helps maintain comfort when you wear lenses regularly.

Does it remove waterproof mascara and long-wear eye makeup?

This eye makeup remover is designed to eliminate all types of eye makeup, including stubborn and waterproof formulas, while still feeling gentle on the skin. The fluid-gel texture allows pigments and long-wear products to lift away effectively without harsh rubbing that can stress lashes or the delicate eyelid.

How does this remover differ from standard eye makeup removers?

Unlike many traditional removers that may contain heavy oils or strong surfactants, this formula uses an aqueous gel texture and Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe while cleansing, with a pH close to tears for improved tolerance. It is fragrance-free and non-greasy, aiming to combine effective makeup removal with comfort for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
