I think some of the previous reviewers who said that this is really oily must have bought the MOISTURIZING version (which DOES have oil); its packaging is very similar to this non-oily one. In fact, I nearly bought the moisturizing one by mistake and luckily caught the error before I made my purchase.

And those who are upset that this doesn't remove waterproof mascara must have accidentally purchased Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily thinking this IS the oily one.

In a nutshell, the MOISTURIZING version removes waterproof mascara and feels oily; the NON-OILY version does neither.

Now as for my experience with Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily, I like it very much. I love that it's portable, so I can travel with it in my carry on. I like that I don't have to break out a cotton pad and a bottle of remover; it's very convenient. It's gentle on my eyes, doesn't sting, and thoroughly removes my eye makeup.

I agree with a previous reviewer that the pads are a bit flimsy- I sometimes inadvertently pick up two or three and have to peel them apart to put the extras back in the jar.

As for the issues with dry pads, I store the jar upside down so that the top pads are always moist. Every so often I put it right side up so that the bottom ones get their share of the remover.

Although these claim to be the #1 eye makeup remover, inexplicably, they were changed in the last year. I have been using them faithfully for DECADES but now the pad is scratchier and the formula is different (less effective). What a drag! These used to be the best for removing waterproof mascara without irritating my sensitive eyes. I find the pads work best if you swipe the pad over your eye makeup (keep your eye tightly shut), making sure to get the underside of lashes as well as on top. Leave it on for a minute, and then blot gently with a tissue. Follow by washing your face. There will still be a bit of moisturizing oil left on your eye area after (so long as you don't scrub at your eyes during the face washing, which you shouldn't anyway), which I like. I do not, however, recommend these to clean off eye makeup if you're going to re-apply more makeup immediately after (they leave too much residue and your new makeup will slide off and/or smudge).

Good Product

Comments about Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily, 80 ea:

Make an "ok" sign with your thumb and pointerfinger- that's about the size of these little eyemakeup wipes. I don't know why people are complaining that they are too small or don't work. These aren't going to change the world but I like them for what they are. They have never irritated my skin and work pretty well. Sometimes I can get away with using only one wipe for both eyes. Overall this is a good product that I will continue to buy. (Just don't but the sensitive version- they the most oily and greasy little things EVER that shine up your face something awful.)

Comments about Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily, 80 ea:

These makeup remover pads really work, but they are so small that it takes several to complete the job. They are slightly larger than a quarter. It would be so nice if they were twice the size.

Just okay.

Comments about Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily, 80 ea:

I've used this product for a few years starting with their oil based eye makeup remover which worked very well but stung my eyes, so I switched to the non-oily version. I find I have to use 2 to 3 pads, both sides to take off regular mascara. In the summer I sometimes wear waterproof mascara and this formula isn't very effective based on previous use. If you sensitive eyes and don't wear your mascara too heavy then this version is okay. I'm going to looks for another brand or options.

    Comments about Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads, Non Oily, 80 ea:

    I had to use multiple pads to try to remove my eye makeup, and there would still be eye makeup. It's not worth the price. I threw out the majority of the container and bought something different.

        I normally use Clinique or Lancôme make up remover but I wanted to save some mone and since this product had so many good reviews I figured I would try it. It did not work as well as I had hoped. My makeup was not fully removed after using one of the pads-or two pads. Wished it worked better. Back to Lancôme.

          The oily pads are too oily and the non-oily pads don't really do the job. Someone needs to come up with one with a little oil, if that is who makes them work better.

            it doesn't effective on mascara, even non waterproof ones... But I believe it works well on eye shadows and eye liners.

              I really like these eye makeup remover pads. I always wash my face and eye area first with Purity Made Simple by Philosophy. Then I use these pads to remove any remaining eye makeup. They are gentle, but they get off waterproof mascara and eyeliner. I have to use one pad for each eye usually. They don't irritate my eyes, especially when I have to really get close to the inner eye area. Great product!
