I had been using a liquid makeup remover, and after using it, my eyes would get red and irritated through the next day. I began to think that getting all that dissolved makeup into my eyes was the problem. A Neutrogena Towlette removes ALL makeup, including eye makeup, but because it is not a liquid, very little gets into my eyes. This is a much better product for me to use... not sticky, no heavy perfume, and it works! PS I do NOT use waterproof mascara, so I don't have any comment on that.
