For some reason, mascara does not like to come off of my lashes. I wash, I dab, I wipe, I scrub and still wake up the next morning with raccoon eyes (no, those aren't bags under there). This works incredibly well and is much gentler than me rubbing my eyes or using petroleum jelly to get the remains of the mascara off. Plus, you can use it as a simple face cleanser, too. No muss, no fuss.
