Advantages: Fragrance-free, very effective formula.

Disadvantages: Worth the price?

If you're prepared to pay this much for a make up remover, you want it to deliver something which cheaper products do not.

Well, it does and it doesn't. It is a lot better than all the make up wipes I've tried at removing certain types of eyeliner and mascara (No7's Stay Perfect coloured eyeliners and Diorshow Iconic mascara if you're interested), and is a lovely formula which does not irritate the eye, no matter how much you scrub it! (Although it requires much less scrubbing than it would with a standard make up wipe)

However, there are very similar dedicated eye make up removing products available - Boots' fragrance-free pads for instance - which do a similar job, albiet in a less sophisticated-looking package. As long as the product doesn't contain fragrance or alcohol, and does contain lots of silicones (Dimethicone & Cyclopentasiloxane are the most common) it is worth considering if you are put off by the price of the Clinique brand.

However, this is nonetheless a good product, and if you can find cheap samples on ebay I would recommend you try it if you use waterproof or gel-based eye make up a lot.

Summary: Great product - but there are alternatives.
