Cornflowers contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains high amounts of anxiotidants such as Vitamin C. They also contain flavonoids and anthocyanins.
Folk medicine in European cultures used cornflowers to help treat eye inflammation.
Fun fact: Cornflowers were used to determine if love was returned. Young men would wear cornflowers and if the color faded quickly, it meant the love was not reciprocated.

Meh, not gonna repurchase.
I used this to remove my waterproof mascara. It worked, but it is too oily in my opinion. It also contains pore-clogging ingredients and is not fungal-acne-safe, that's why I wouldn't buy it again. I use the Maybelline Eye Make-up Remover instead.
