I also wear make up on a daily basis and I found this to work okay. I have had many other eye make up remover products but it is one of the gentlest I have used. I also have "hardworking" make up that stays on all day until I remove it in the evening and I found that with the lasting products I have to swipe my make up remover a few times before it actually comes off. So it's a balance between gentleness vs. effectiveness. If you have super thick make up that lasts all day i.e. professional make up then this may not be the product for you but for everyday makeup i.e. 6 - 12 hour make up this may just do the trick! :)
