Even though I use a sonic brush a lot, some nights I am just really, really lazy and can't be bothered to wash my face. Rather than just sleep in my makeup and risk the clogged pores, I use a face wipe.
The good:
These smell good. Really good.
They don't sting or burn (though they interact weirdly with Kiss my Face moisturizers).
They remove powders, eyeshadow, and kohl eyeliner.
My face feels significantly less greasy after using one. Very refreshing.
They don't just have a sticky flap (which always fail on me and dry out the product), they have a plastic snap lid.
The bad:
These will not remove anything waterproof or any mascara. Not even non-waterproof mascara.
It's very weird the selective makeup removal that happens. So on the one hand my face turns ruddy and uneven again and the wipe clearly has visible bronzer/blush/tone correcting powder on it. My kohl eyeliner comes off in a few wipes. BUT, mascara will not budge! I wear regular, not waterproof mascara, the kind that will smear down my face if it rains, but it will not budge (it won't even smudge) when I rub at it with these wipes. Very odd.
I like the suggestion to put a little water on them, I agree they work much better that way. I will continue to use these until I run out, but I'm still on the fence about whether I like these more or the Ponds variety. I think these are way too expensive for what they are. These are perfect for keeping at work to freshen up before going out for drinks and are decent (but not as good as Ponds or E.L.F.) as a lazy face washing substitute.

These are great for those mornings when I come home from a long 12 hour night shift (as an RN), and just want to go to bed. Taking off most of my makeup, although I do still have some raccoon eyes after waking up, but I have yet to find a wipe that remedies that.

Love these! These are the first wipes I have ever used which don't sting my eyes or dry me out like crazy! I don't use them nightly but I keep them on my nightstand for nights when I just don't have the energy to wash off my makeup! I haven't had the issues that other have with these not removing my makeup, I think they do a pretty darn good job! I should note that I don't use a liquid foundation though, and maybe others with heavier foundation would have this problem. LOVE the smell, so fresh and clean and LOVE the texture. I usually store mine upside-down so that they don't get too 'dry' and I love that they have a plastic sealing lid! I recommend these to anyone who'll listen and I want to try the yes to cucumbers wipes too!

Wow! What an amazing product this is! I got these along with Say Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes and absolutely love them both. Yes to Blueberries has more of a tingling, invigorating feeling compared to the soothing, cool feeling of the Cucumber ones. These towelettes make taking my makeup off a breeze and are perfect for travel. Love these!!

So I guess I'm allergic to these.. I had noticed my face getting really red after cleansinf it, but I thought it was the Embryolisse that I just started using. Took me a while to find out it were these towlettes! After I found it I stopped using and decided to keep these for something else (not sure what yet). So the other day I applied my foundation from a sample and it was a verry wrong color. I didn't have time to go upstairs and wash my face, and I saw these lying around, so I thought, lets use them one more time, tinking I could cover up the redness with another foundation. Not a good idea!! My face started glowing / stinging and just kept turning more red. It didn't feel TOO bad, but the color my face was turning into actually frightend me! It looked like my skin was burning off :( So I did wash my face, but that didn't stop the effect from. I never ever had a reaction to something that was so bad. My face stayed BRIGHT red for several hours. No foundation in the world could cover that up, so I had to stay indoors.. I have to say I have VERRY sensitive skin, so it's probably just me. But please beware if you have sensitive skin!!

I love these. I wouldn't expect them to remove makeup though, because they are quite gentle. I usually use them in the morning if I'm in a rush or at night if I'm too lazy to wash my face before bed (but I always use a cleanser at least once that same day). I can't say if they've helped my complexion since I just started using them, but my skin feels (very slightly) tingly and refreshed. I highly recommend them...unless you're looking for a makeup removing towelette.
If you DO want them to remove makeup, get the Yes to Cucumbers wipes instead. They remove makeup a lot better in my experience.

After trying different brands of facial toweletts I finally found one that takes the cake! this does not leave my face dry, or irratated. Instead it leaves my skin moisterized, smooth and clean w/out the "cakey" feeling. In the morning I wake up to a nice refreshed face with no dry patches (like other brands left me) It says it also helps with minimizing the appearence the wrinkles. Ive only been using a few days so I cant comment on that yet. But this is a must have product for your gym bag!

I bought these in a travel-sized package (8 wipes) to try, and I really, really like them! First off, they're pricier than what I'd normally pay for a cleansing towelette - I usually buy Ponds or whatever's on sale - however, these are 99% natural, paraben-free, and SO SOFT! The texture is perfect. They smell lovely (a mix of blueberries & lemon), cleanse my face well, and leave my skin glowy and moisturized (but not oily!). It's hard for me to find products that work well with my super oily skin, so when I do, I'm elated. They remove my mascara (not waterproof) just fine and don't burn my eyes at all. These wipes are great for traveling, keeping in your car to use after the gym, or just to keep in your nightstand for those lazy nights when you don't feel like going through the whole face-washing-routine. I'm going to purchase the 30-count package soon, as I'm almost out of my current one! continued >>

I bought these for $7.99 at Walgreens. It was a bonus back of 40 wipes, plus I had a $3.00 off coupon. I do not wear any face makeup, so I cannot comment on the efficacy of these wipes for makeup removal. I found the wipes themselves to be a decent size and very sturdy. They do sting my face just a bit, but they do not irritate. I feel like I have a real healthy glow after I use them. I really like them...I do not love them enough to pay full price though. Hopefully, before I reach the end of the package, I will find them on sale.

I used these towelettes when I worked late nights and couldn't risk running water to wash my face for fear of waking my family. These wipes removed all of my makeup with a little effort and I saw improvement in my skin over time! My under-eye area tightened up and my skin texture seemed healthier (as opposed to YesTo Cucumbers).
Keep the sticker on the inside or the sheets on top will dry up - the lid doesn't seal on it's own.
Unfortunately, I found the oxidized scent of these to be rather odd to say the least. I suppose it comes with being natural, but it smells like BO mixed with lemon juice after a few minutes. :x Otherwise I'd give this product a 5.

I purchased the bonus pack of these, 40 wipes (instead of 30) for $8.99 at Target, based on a great review in a magazine. I love how they smell, and I don't mind how they make my skin feel, but they absolutely do NOT work as a makeup remover. They only really work *after* all of my makeup is gone and I'm just using it as a refresher. Honestly, I'm thinking of putting them in my purse as hand wipes just to use them all up. The last time I tried to use them as a face or eye makeup remover wipe, it took 3 wipes before I realized no makeup was coming off. Would not repurchase UNLESS they were a fab deal. Like, super cheap maybe. I could find a use for them then (possibly a brush-refresher wipe?)

These are my favorite make-up wipes. I buy mine at Ulta. They remove all make-up, the packaging is great because it's not just a sticker to close it like my other ones were, its a snappy kind of lid on the package so I really like that. Also these have lemon in them so that's an added bonus since I have some acne scarring and lemon helps fade that. They're not the cheapest, $8 for 30 I believe but they're usually BOGO 1/2. Overall they are my favorite, don't leave a weird residue, and remove all dirt, oil, and make-up like they should!

I have never used facial wipes before, so when I went on a 4-day camping trip I bought these to clean my face at night, so I did not have to walk in the dark to the campground restrooms. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised with how well these wipes actually worked! My skin actually glowed from using them! I have used them a few times at night thereafter when it was late and I didn't feel like actually washing my face. These wipes are great to pack on a trip and to use in place of water. They remove mascara without much effort and impart a nice glow. I can be prone to breakouts with certain products and my face remained perfectly clear. I would not replace with my nightly cleansing ritual with Albolene, but again in a pinch or especially on a camping trip these are perfect!

I always use the Yes To Cucumbers towelettes, but decided to give these a try since they were both moisturizing and cleansing. To be perfectly honest I wasn't impressed when I first started using these at night b/c they weren't wet enough (unlike the Yes To Cucumbers which are super moist), but I came up with a wonderful idea to make them work better, which was to add a bit of water to the wipe! Wow, and what a difference it made! It made the ingredients from the wipe come out of the towelette more and it allowed the towelette to remove all of my makeup from my skin including mascara and eyeliner/eyeshadow. This morning I woke up with the softest skin ever, and I didn't even use moisturizer. I will continue purchasing these along with the Yes to Cucumbers towelettes. I also can't wait to try more products from this line.
Pros:
Smells Great
Keeps skin soft and supple
Biodegradable
99% au natural
Cons:
Not moist enough
Suggestion: ADD WATER TO WIPE

i bought these because of the packaging and the good reputation of these products. these are okay for me to finish but i don't think i would rebuy them. they are not as wet as my olay wipes which i've used for years. with my acne skin i only use these to wipe foundation then i use a cleanser to actually clean my skin so because of that i prefer a product that is more wet. if you have dry skin these are probably good. easy to travel with these. small packaging.

These are great towlettes but the only reason I wouldn't buy them again is because the cucumber ones do the same thing and they are 2 dollars cheaper.. And yes, I am that cheap. These smell good, like blueberries.

I really like these. I use towelettes as a makeup remover before cleaning my face and these are really nice. I feel most towelettes are too wet and I hate the film they leave behind. However, these Yes to Blueberries aren't too wet and they have a very clean after feeling. The texture of the cloth is the nicest of the ones I've tried so far. The only gripe I have is a personal preference and that is the fragrance. It isn't terrible but it's something I'd rather not have up against my nose. I originally wanted to try the Yes to Cucumbers but they were out so I just bought these. Hopefully, the cucumbers will smell more nice since I really enjoy these towelettes.

I'm so surprised there is only 1 other review for this product. These wipes are just yummy!! (Both smelling and for the skin!). They are 99% natural, oil-free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, made with biodegradable cloth, and formulated with organic blueberries, lemon peel, and apple. They brighten and cleanse the skin and don't strip my skin of its natural oils. These are perfect for those lazy nights where I can't be bothered to wash my face properly or in the mornings when I want to refresh and clean my face but don't really need all the power of a cleanser. These (and the Yes to Cucumbers one-it's a tie!), are the best wipes that I've come across yet. Totally worth it, and great price too!

I've been a fan of the Yes To Carrots line for awhile and was happy to give the blueberry facial wipes a try. I ran out of my Tea Tree towelettes by The Body Shop and wanted to try something new. These sweet smelling towelettes wipe away dirt, oil and makeup while brightening your complexion and moisturizing your skin. $8 @ Walmart.
