These are so easy to use and refreshing on your face.
They glide easily and it makes my skin feel soft and cleansed.
I was not irritated at all by these wipes, I find it gentle enough to be a eye make up remover as well, even waterproof make up comes off with ease.
Only bad thing is the packaging, I wish there was a better lid as they can dry out easily if you accidentally leave it open.

I bought these primarily because I already love the scent of the pink-packaged Nivea products: a soft, floral scent with a hint of fresh citrus. Somehow, the scent is calming and soothing and refreshing all at the same time. I found these wipes a lot drier than the average makeup removing wipe, which I didn't love. They weren't bone dry, but I wouldn't describe them as soaked or damp. The cloth wasn't super soft to the touch since it was on the dry side - I would compare the texture to a dryer sheet after it has been tumbled in the dryer. However, the cloth was extremely gentle on the skin and didn't irritate at all. The wipe was effective at removing face makeup, consisting of primer, concealer, liquid foundation, pressed powder and mineral foundation (yikes!) I use a separate eye makeup remover. What surprised me the most was that there was no residue at all after removal! I didn't feel any slipperiness or that dry-oil texture that sometimes remains after using a wipe. I normally follow with a cleanser, but with these wipes I won't have to. These were priced about $1 CDN lower than other major brands, for the same 25-count pack. I would buy them again because I love the subtle scent, they are gentle on the skin and remove makeup effectively with no residue.

I love these wipes. They smell so nice and are so gentle. My skin feels so smooth and relaxed after using this. It doesn't remove the make-up completely but I've never used a wipe that does. And it doesn't leave any residue behind, it feels as if you just washed your face with water and wiped it with a towel.

I've read through the other reviews done on these wipes and it seems to me that it really all depends on the skin type that really determines how well these wipes work for you.

Personally, I thought these wipes worked really well and moisturizing my dry skin and they didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. The smell was also incredibly pleasing and made me feel all clean and, in a way, the smell was refreshing.

To remove my makeup, which is really only ever found on my eyes and not much place else, I always turn to wipes. I just find that wipes are so much easier and more convenient to carry around on the go in case of emergencies. So quality is always really important to me and also how quickly they remove makeup. It was this aspect of the wipes that really let me down. I always seemed to find myself standing in front of the mirror for at least 15 minutes every night just trying to get my easy-to-remove eye makeup off, which would usually come off after no more than 2 minutes of wiping if I was using another product.

Overall, I was pretty happy, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy it again because I know that there is definitely a better product out there.

My skin is oily, but is somewhat sensitive so I thought these would be good for me. Clearly not since they stung badly especially on my cheeks and eye area. Do not recommend!! They did take off my makeup fairly well though.

These wipes really irritated my skin! It made my skin a bit red after using these and the wipes have a very strong scent. They take off the majority of my makeup; foundation, lipgloss/lipstick but had a tough time taking off liquid eyeliner and waterproof mascara. Wouldn't buy again as they sting really badly.

I brought these for sensitive skin and really don't like them. The wipes sting my skin and don't seem to be good at taking off eye makeup, but good for taking off foundation/concealer. Had a nice scent if I remember, but will not be buying these again!

uagh! it burns!!!!
I would give it two lippies cause it's probably fine for non-sensative skin but HMofG it stings my face and burns my eyes. And so it gets one cause it says "for sensitive skin" on the pack. Yeah it gets the mascara off, after it takes out my eyeballs.

I tried this out tonight and it got rid of most of my make up. I wear light make up for work and was able to get it off using one cloth. I imagine that with a full face or night make up, a proper make up remover and routinue would be needed. I also would still prefer to use a separate and proper eye make up remover to get rid of the mascara as the cloth does not seem to do the trick unless you swipe a few times. For the price however, I would definitely repurchase.

I should add that I still complete a cleansing routinue even after using any facial cleansing wipe as I've yet to find one that would get rid of all make up and makes my face feel 'clean'.

TERRIBLE! Made my face sting so much it brought tears to my eyes and made the delicate skin around my eyes red and swollen and sore.
They stink like old ladies and are so oily I had to wash my face and hands after use.
Yuck!

These stung! They were too hightly perfumed with Nivea's horrible signature scent and also rough and scratchy in texture. Why? They're supposed to be for sensitive skin!

Large enough to cope with all your makeup even down to your neck.

They're really strong and can be wrung out if you've got access to water. After cleansing, I squeeze the wipe under the tap to rinse clean and then go over my face again several times to remove the cleanser. This way I feel my skin is really clean and I don't have the cleanser residue or irritating perfume lingering. The wipes are tough and can withstand several rinses without ripping.

I had to use a separate eye makeup remover first because these didn't remove all my stubborn waterproof mascara (Revlon lash fantasy). Otherwise they cleansed makeup off well.

Good for late night/travelling quick removal if you don't mind stinging your skin for alot of money. I prefer Garnier's ultra gentle wipes. Or baby wipes (unscented for me) are even better, as the same thing without the cost!

These are ideal for a late night when you just can't be bothered to properly wash your face and get your make-up off. They are really good at getting off waterproof mascara, which is suprising for a wipe. They leave your skin soft, and maybe i'm just a bit paranoid, but using them doesn't give me a really clean feeling. I guess they are not really for my skin type, but I do like them overall.

I'm not a fan of Nivea, but I needed some cleansing wipes as they're practical and decided to go for these (as they were cheaper than most of the other brands). And I regret! The packaging is not the worst, but it's still difficult to close the packet once the seal is broken.
What I dislike the most is the strong unpleasant smell, it has to be said that I deteste the Nivea signature scent (bleurgh!). Having it rubbed into my face makes me go and wash my face afterwards because I feel over-perfumed with a bad scent. Also the wipes are so soaked and even though they do remove some make-up, they cannot remove my waterproof mascara. Also my skin feels greasy and not clean at all afterwards. As if that's not enough, the wipes made me break out as well!! Hate it!

I usually love Nivea products but I think I will be sticking to Simple wipes from now on. First, the packaging is terrible. The 'sticky' went on the seal very quickly. The scent is too strong, and quite cardboardy. The wipes are too harsh, and made my eye area very sore. The actual cleanser on the wipes felt too astringent for my skin, and I woke up with a few red bumps around my chin after using.I didn't find it removed makeup particularly well either. Nivea wipes aren't the worst I have ever tried, but I won't be using them again.

The cleansing power is ok and it doesn't dry out my skin. It does remove all the foundation and eye shadows but a bit difficult to remove water-proof mascara. BUT the towel itself is like sand paper!!! My skin feels uncomfortable after wiping the towel across my face, so how can I get a better cleasing action if I can't press it onto my face just a little harder? Won't buy again even if it's on special.

Eventhough this can't beat L'Oreal's Cleansing Wipes for Dry/Sensitive skin, these cleansing wipes are pretty good. I have sensitive skin, and they can sting a bit upon application (disappears after a minute or so, and I do use different eye make-up remover cos my eyes can't stand no normal cleansers), but they clean makeup and I usually use them after a night out.

I did not particularly enjoy this product--it removes makeup well enough, but for a product specifically made for "dry and sensitive skin", this stung my face worse than any other product I've used, especially in the eye area (and I don't even have sensitive skin). Thus, although the cleansing ability was fine, actually removing makeup was quite uncomfortable. Would not repurchase.

EDIT: This morning, I realised that the cleansing ability wasn't even that good. I woke up with dark smudges under my eyes from mascara I thought these wipes had completely removed.

I tried these wipes because they were cheap but I didn't like them at all. They were very dry and had a rough, scratchy texture. The "nivea" smell is not strong but I didn't like it.

These wipes were a disappointment. At my drug store, they are cheaper than L'oreal's version - and now I know why. The fabric of the wipes is scratchy, they stung on my face and didn't really remove my makeup.
