I believe these are the same ones that I have. I have the "Almay
Travel Size Makup Remover Pads Item #: 2167559" on Ulta. They are $1.29 and they are OVERPRICED. Shudder! Bought them for vacation, and didn't use or open them until then, what a shock. It smells like nail polish remover, and it feels like rubbing your eyes with alcohol. It stings and made me afraid to open my eyes. What a nightmare. Can't believe these are from Almay...

It's great! Gets any make up off. I started using them by first purchasing the eye make up removal pads. I tried these, and it worked with no harmful effects.

I actually have the wipes of these, not pads. Not sure how similar they are but couldn't find the makeup wipes. Well the makeup wipes STING every time I use them, which isn't often because, well, they sting. I used the Olay prior to that without that problem and really liked them too but am trying to get away from products by brands tested on animals. These didn't get my makeup off very well either. If I ever managed to use them up, I will not repurchase. They were on sale at Meijer for like 2 bucks so I'm not to upset.

Great product. Oil-free and fragrance-free, they don't irritate my face at all. Do their job of removing makeup well and at a good price.

I love these! I work with makeup all day and find that by the end of the day most of the higher end makeup removers can't even get the heavy duty liners and stains off my hand from showing colors and doing makeovers...These do and it comes off with ease. I've ended up waiting until I get home from work to use these over the high-end makeup remover testers at work! Good for sensitive skin and takes off waterproof products :)

These have definitely become a staple in my daily cleansing routine. I wear several coats of waterproof mascara so getting it off is no easy feat. The container is small and convenient, and the pads are perfectly sized to get the eye area and no more. All my makeup comes right off gently, the skin around my eyes doesn't feel irritated at all, and no oily residue once I rinse with my cleanser.
These might not be as economical as a bottle and cotton pads, but after having a bottle spill oily all over my bag and lugging around my roll of cotton pads, I'm willing to spend a little more over time for these convenient, well packaged, removers.

I was cruising big lots and saw a stack of these. I couldn't even see what they were because of how they were put on the shelf but I picked one up and looked. I'm glad! I'd heard a couple comments about them on the boards so I decided to give them a whirl. Besides-- the price was right. They're cheap at full price and at BL they were half that. Fantastic product. My face feels great afterward. Not oily at all. I used it on my eye mu as well without problem and I have very sensitive eyes. These were able to remove even my waterproof mascara. I like that they're non-fragranced as well. I will continue to use and probably re-purchase when I run out.

I was a faithful user of Dove Sensitive Skin Towelettes but they discontinued them and I've been on a mission since then. Out of all the other makeup remover towelettes I have tried (Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Ponds, Olay, etc) these removed my makeup without irritating my face or leaving it feeling greasy. I mostly use these to remove my makeup before working out and they are great for doing that without breaking me out or drying out my skin. My only gripe is I wish the pads were a bit thicker (and bigger) but compared to all the others I dare not complain. I actually found them by reading some reviews so thanks to those of you who reviewed these in the past!

I love these. Absolutely love them. I have been searching for makeup remover cloths or pads for centuries and these are the best. They're extremely portable and take off all of my eye makeup in no time(I use several coats of mascara and Colorstay liquid eyeliner everyday on top of eyeshadow). It also is great at getting off my Almay Amazing Lasting foundation. I do have to confess, I use these all over my face as a precursor to cleansing...I'm not sure I would rely on them all by themselves to get everything off. Sometimes I think we expect one cleanser to get off everything, and with all I put on my face, I'm not sure that's realistic. I will say, however, that after using these in conjunction with my cleanser, there is absolutely NOTHING left on my towel when I dry off my face. I have contact lenses and my eyes aren't irritated when I use these pads. I also have sensitive skin and have had no breakouts of any kind. A must try, seriously.

Well first off I like how these arent fragranced, they are compact (easy for travel) and did not irritate my sensitive skin. But the problem was it didnt completely remove all of my makeup. I used a toner afterwards and there was still alot of makeup that had not been removed! I dont wear alot either. I use foundation, powder, and mascara, sometimes eyeliner. I would probably really like these if they were bigger.

Almay is my favorite brand for drugstore face makeup and they discontinued everything I use in the beginning of this year. I have been using this awesome makeup remover pad for years and now it's discontinued. Luckily I found about 30 of them at big lot today for $2 each. It does the best job at removing my almay amazing lasting 16 hour makeup which they also discontinued=(, and it doesn't irritate or break me out at all. I have yet to find another product that i like this much.

I LOVE how handy these are...and they work better than Neutrogena, Maybelline, and Lancome eye-makeup removers that I've tried. They do take off everything, and there's plenty to take off all your makeup--if you use both sides. Great stuff!!! I've already repurchased once, and will do so again!

I have read about alot of people who dont like this makeup remover and wanted to clarify my review. After several years of trying products, I still like this product. It is not the best makeup remover on the market. I have tried several different removers but this is the best drugstore product I have found for several reasons. First, I have contact lenses, any oily removers will leave a film over my lenses and this one does not. Second, the pads have no stray fibers to get into my eyes. I like several eye makeup removers but you need to use a cotten ball or pad, and alot of cotton balls will leave fibers and those irritate my eyes. I think for the price, this removes well, but not the best. But the lack of greasiness and fibers and ease of use still rate this a great product!

I am so glad I read about this product online here. I had been using Cetaphil as a makeup remover each night before using a cleanser and it wasn't doing the trick. But it was the only product I had found that would not dry out my skin and was not oily thereby causing breakouts.

The Almay pads are wonderful. They totally remove every last trace of makeup - including waterproof mascara and eyeliner. I have not had any breakouts from using them, although my skin feels moisturized after use.

Seriously love these things!

This is a staple for the removal of mascara,eyeliner and eyeshadow. I have been using these pads for years. I was very happy when the non-oily type was developed because the oily type was quite greasy and left a residue. These Almay pads are hypoallergenic, inexpensive and sold in most stores. They last quite a while at least a month or two. The container is small and easy to manage. I highly recommend this for sensitive skin because of the gentle quality it has on the face and eye area.

won't irritate skin, very gentle yet effective....use 1 pad then rinse it off to re-use, then use 2nd pad and your make up is gone. it may be cheap, but it is gentle and it works!

I'm torn on these. Very convenient and portable and the solution itself doesn't seem to irritate my skin; however, the wiping of the pad did somewhat scratch my sensitive skin PLUS, it can't remove all of the concealer under the eyes (forcing me to wipe harder and therefore further irritating skin). Will not repurchase.

I really like this. It gets rid of all my makeup without being greasy or drying...perfect for before you cleanse your face. I am acne-prone...I haven't noticed breakouts from it. I just wish they made them thicker...I usually have to go thru 2 of them, one for eyes and one for face before all the makeup comes off. But otherwise, good stuff.
