I have been using the Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover for many years, but this latest bottle seems to be much less effective and gentle than before. Not only does it not remove the mascara, but my eyes feel sore after using it. It feels less oily. Gutted as it used to be an exceptionally good and economical product. I see I am not the only person to say this.
I’ve used this for years and I’m strongly suspecting that the formula must have changed as I have dry dermatitis on both eyelids they are red and permanently itching. Does anyone know this …they should state on the pack if changing . Also it used to remove my mascara easily and now it doesn’t . Maybe they reduced the oil and added more chemical ?
I feel compelled to come here to the Nivea page to share my experience. I have used double effect for years to remove my waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Nothing else would take it off with such ease and I recommended it to everyone. Then for the last 2 months I have been having issues with recurring styes which have been horrendously painful and I have looked disgusting. My eyes have also been very dry and itchy. I put it down to mascara at first and replaced it. Then ended up replacing every single makeup product including eyelash curlers and pencil sharpeners. Still getting styes. In different places and both eyes. I finally felt resigned that it must be hormonal. Started omega 3’s. Didn’t help. By chance I researched this product and lo and behold there has been a reformulation and reading all the reviews here the penny has dropped. Although some of these go back 2 years? I will no longer be using this toxic product and it should be removed from sale. Goodbye Nivea!
