A good eye makeup remover is an essential part of any woman's beauty regimen. The skin around the eyes is extremely fragile and easily irritated, so you want to find a gentle makeup remover that works well without having to harshly scrub away at your eye makeup. This is especially true if you wear waterproof makeup or contact lenses.

I love to experiment with new eye makeup trends and different colors and I rely on my eye makeup remover to help me to quickly and easily change my look without irritating my sensitive skin. Over the years I have tried out my fair share of eye makeup removers and have found only one that I would strongly recommend: Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads.

I'm not alone in this discovery however. Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads are the #1 selling eye makeup remover brand in America and have been featured in numerous fashion and beauty magazines over the years, including Glamour, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan. Almay's gentle, hypoallergenic formula blends aloe, cucumber and green tea, which work together to soothe, nourish and hydrate delicate skin while conditioning your lashes.

These convenient pads come in two varieties: moisturizing and oil-free. While both work well, I would recommend the oil-free option for anyone who has a naturally oily complexion or is prone to breakouts as the moisturizing version can leave behind a greasy residue. Almay's line of skin-care products also offers liquid eye makeup removers, but I prefer the pads because they are more convenient and a better bargain in the long run.

Unlike many other beauty products on the market, Almay pads not only work wonders, but they are inexpensive as well. A container of 100 pads costs about five to six dollars depending on where you choose to purchase them. I have found that Wal-Mart typically offers the best prices and Walgreen's often has two-for-one specials on Almay products. Not only are Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads inexpensive, but you also save the cost of buying cotton balls/pads that are necessary when using a liquid remover. With Almay, one pad should be all it takes to get the job done, which means a single container can last for over three months.

While I'm more than impressed with how well these pads work, what I really love about them is how convenient they are. Almay's eye makeup remover pads come in a small cylindrical container that can quickly be thrown in your purse or overnight bag for easy portability when you travel. They are even a good idea to have on hand for a girls' night out. With Almay it is one easy step with no mess. Just toss the used pad in the trash and you're all set to go.

Even if you're skeptical or think that quality products have to cost a lot of money, I urge you to give Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads a try. I'm confident that you won't be disappointed, but if for some reason they don't turn out to be the right product for you, you will only be out five dollars vs. the $20+ that you might spend on other similar products on the market. Believe me, once you've tried them, you'll never want to go back to messy liquid removers again!
