Purifying cleanser and emollient blend — dissolves waterproof mascara without rubbing
A 120ml eye makeup remover that works by dissolving rather than scrubbing: cleansers and emollients break down the polymers and waxes in waterproof mascara and smoky eye shadow, so they wipe away from the delicate eyelid skin without friction or irritation.
No rubbing, no tugging — cotton pad + hold technique protects eyelid skin
The technique is important: apply to a cotton pad, hold over the eyelid for a few seconds, allow the formula to do the dissolving work, then gently wipe. This is meaningfully gentler on eyelid skin than the aggressive rubbing technique most people use with water-based cleansers on waterproof makeup.

Why the eyelid is the most vulnerable skin on the face
Eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body — approximately 0.5mm compared to 2mm elsewhere on the face. It has fewer sebaceous glands (less natural oil protection), is in near-constant motion (blinking 15–20 times per minute), and is the area most directly affected by the rubbing and friction of makeup removal. Aggressive removal of waterproof eye makeup with facial wipes or ordinary cleansers is one of the most common causes of premature eyelid wrinkling and accelerated skin ageing around the eyes.
The right formula dissolves waterproof makeup so it can be removed with minimal friction — hold, then wipe gently. Modere Eye Makeup Remover combines emollients (cyclopentasiloxane, isohexadecane) that break down the film-forming polymers in waterproof mascara with a gentle plant-derived cleanser (decyl glucoside) that removes the dissolved residue, all without irritating the sensitive periorbital skin.
Key ingredients (AU official label)
| Ingredient | What it brings |
|---|---|
| Cyclopentasiloxane + isohexadecane | Silicone and hydrocarbon emollients that dissolve the film-forming polymers in waterproof mascara and eye shadow; the active solubilising agents |
| Decyl glucoside | Plant-derived gentle surfactant (from coconut/glucose); removes the dissolved makeup residue without the harshness of conventional anionic detergents |
| Butylene glycol | Humectant that maintains skin hydration during the makeup removal process |
| Dipotassium phosphate + potassium phosphate | Buffering agents that maintain the formula pH at a level safe for the periorbital area |
| Polyaminopropyl biguanide | Broad-spectrum preservative at low concentration, suitable for eye-area products |
How it removes waterproof eye makeup
Emollients penetrate and dissolve the waterproof film
The silicone (cyclopentasiloxane) and hydrocarbon (isohexadecane) emollients penetrate the wax-and-polymer matrix of waterproof mascara. They dissolve the bonds holding the waterproof film together, releasing it from lashes and eyelid skin.
Hold technique allows dissolution without friction
The key is holding the cotton pad in place for a few seconds rather than immediately wiping. This contact time allows the emollients to fully penetrate and dissolve the makeup, so removal requires minimal mechanical force.
Gentle cleanser removes the dissolved residue
The plant-derived decyl glucoside surfactant then removes the dissolved makeup and emollient residue cleanly, leaving the eyelid area clean without soap-like stripping.
Daily routine
Every evening
Part of an effective evening skincare routine: eye makeup removal before facial cleansing. The eye area should be cleared of makeup before applying the facial cleanser so that the cleansing step can work on skin rather than makeup.
Follow with your Modere cleanser and skincare
After removing eye makeup, continue with your preferred Modere facial cleanser (Cleanser Combination Skin or CellProof Double Cleanser) and evening skincare (Night Cream, CellProof Serum, CellProof Moisturiser).
Tips for Eye Makeup Remover
Hold, don’t rub
The most important technique note: saturate a cotton pad, place over the closed eyelid, hold for 5–10 seconds. The makeup will have dissolved and will wipe away with the lightest pressure. Rubbing is both unnecessary and damaging to thin eyelid skin.
Use a separate pad for each eye
Avoid cross-contaminating eye products between eyes. A fresh cotton pad for each eye is best practice, particularly for anyone prone to eye infections or wearing contact lenses.
Pair with Modere CellProof Eye Cream for a complete eye care routine
Eye Makeup Remover cleans the periorbital area; CellProof Eye Cream treats fine lines and wrinkles in the same area. Both deliver better results when the skin they work with is clean and prepared.
