micellar water around sensitive eyes. actually safe or are we just hoping

been using micellar water to remove eye makeup for probably two years now and mostly fine, but I switched to a, different brand a few months back and started getting this low-grade stinging and dryness around my lids that I couldn't figure out. took me way too long to connect it to the formula change. turns out the new one had fragrance and some alcohol in it, which apparently makes a real difference for eye area use. went back to something fragrance-free and ophthalmologist-tested and the irritation cleared up within a week. the thing that trips me up is how much 'sensitive skin' labeling gets used interchangeably with 'safe around eyes' and they really aren't the same thing. dedicated eye removers are formulated differently and probably the safer call if you're prone to dryness or styes. curious whether anyone else has noticed specific ingredients that consistently cause problems, or found a formula that works reliably without any irritation?
