I have been using Abolene cream since I was a teenager 40 years ago. The one thing I noticed through the years is that when applying the cream, I always used a back and forth motion, over and under my eye, to remove eye make up. I did this every night at bedtime and never slept in my make up. Over the years, I did not develop the bags under the eyes look like a lot of my friends the same age. I have become to believe that this motion I used helped to keep the fats under the eye from settling, thus, leaving me with younger looking eyes. Although I am nearly sixty, I am mistaken for a 40 year old all the time. Abolene cream is very good and I have enjoyed using it as it always cleaned off my make up very well, and as a plus, was very cost efficient. I bought a large size of it and paid about $11, but the cream lasted me for about seven years. I have always only used eye make up and it only takes a small amount to clean away the make up. I feel I will always use Abolene cream and have started my granddaughters on this wonderful way to remove make up.
