I'm not a big fan of makeup wipes but sometimes there's just no other option. I mostly used these after going out to cleanse my face and remove makeup. Since I'm usually big on proper cleansing I wouldn't use them on an everyday basis but they do the job when needed. I have very sensitive eyes and the skin around them gets easily sore and puffy. These didn't overly irritate my eyes especially since the fragrance is so subtle. No stinging and burning, which I experienced with many makeup wipes before. They're not soaking wet but not completely dry either. I could live with them being a bit more moist since stuff like this naturally dries out with time after you first open the seal.
The formula itself works well on my skin, since it doesn't feel completely parched the next day even when I don't bother with moisturizing.
I now throw them into my gym bag for post-workout sweat removal, which is really handy.
I'm not saying I'm in love but they do the job and are surprisingly gentle unlike other products of their kin. The price is decent too. Have repurchased them several times and probably will keep doing so since they're a safe bet when it comes to make-up wipes.

These suck, but not the absolute worst out there. The wipes work OK for removing minimal/less makeup. This stings the **** out of my eyes though. I feel like this somewhat drys out the tops of my cheeks and underneath the eye area when I use them. I did get them on sale for $3.99(Regular $6.99 CAD), so its not too too bad. I guess I will try to use these wipes up, but definitely will not repurchase or recommend.

UPDATE December 21 2012
I never brought myself to use these up, so I ended up throwing the rest away after using about 5 wipes.

Tried this after the Olay Clean & Mild wipes were too harsh...well these were only a tad less harsh. For some reason both these types of Olay wipes seem to burn my eyeballs even when I don't get them anywhere near my eyes. And to think you're wiping that on your face??! EESH! Not to mention that my skin formed little irritation bumps all over during the week of travel that I used these, and this happened to someone who ALWAYS washes her face after using a wipe. I only tried finding a makeup remover wipe brand to use after I read an article that using baby wipes is a big cosmetic no-no because they weren't designed for your face, but after trying Olay, Neutrogena, and Simple makeup wipes, I have gone back to using Target brand unscented baby wipes and since then my random skin breakouts have completely cleared up!! No burning, no irritation, no breakouts and super cheap for a huge pack--give em a try!

I had used these in the past and recently picked these up on sale. After using a few I now remember why I didn't repurchase. I won't say these are the worst product I have used but, most definitely not the best. They are very moist and tend to stay that way in the pack (which I like) but, as far as removing make up they suck. Most days I wear very light makeup and I dont feel these remove it well enough for my liking. They dont even remove washable mascara. I will probably use these up by using them to wipe sweat of my face and neck after a workout. I do like that they are gentle and unscented. Won't repurchase.

I got those because they were on sale. They are not bad to remove makeup. I haven't used them for my eyes because they are very sensitive, but for light face makeup, these cloths are fine. But oh man, do they ever smell like ass! More specifically, they smell like garbage. Or, like a banana peel that's been sitting around for a few days... They kinda have the same texture too. They leave a weird, slippery film on the skin (and hands), but to be fair, it goes away when it dries after a few minutes. I just can't bring myself to give those more than 2/5 and definitely will not purchase again.

I use these every night to remove makeup before I wash my face. These are excellent and do not cause irritation or breakouts.

AMAZING for sensitive skin. Fragrance and alcohol free. These do not irritate my skin at all. My skin has been going crazy lately and anything with fragrance or alcohol or SPF will burn my face. These are so quick and easy to use but I don't recommend these for daily use since they're not a deep cleanse. (I alternate with Cetaphil's gentle skin cleanser.) They're reasonably priced when you buy them on sale. (I paid $4.99 for 30 wipes at Shoppers Drug Mart. Regular price: $12) They are so convenient, effective and gentle on the skin. LOVE!

Got it as a bonus with my Olay daily moisturizer for sensitive skin. Here's why I'm not impressed:
1. I used it over my eyes and regretted it. IT BURNS. Even though it says sensitive. :(
2. It's quite dry. I feel like I have to rub my face down hard to get my foundation/concealer off. It says it doesn't need water, but I'm tempted to add next time I use it.
3. My face just.. doesn't feel clean and refreshed like I want it to.
I'm heading to the store today to buy my Garnier Nutritioniste wipes instead. I do not recommend these.

These babies will set your eyes on fire!! I am so disappointed in these. I thought they would be really good since they are made by Olay. I do not recommend....:-(

OMG!! I use products like this all the time, I generally just buy whichever brand is on sale or cheapest at any given time. I have used everything from Clean and Clear, Boots, Target store brand, biore, Alcone etc etc, and these are terrible!! Definitely the worst I've ever used. They have a strong smell, the texture is very rough and they made my eyes burn like nothing on earth. I had to quickly rinse my whole face after using them, and that has never happened before. How can something so obviously harsh be labeled as "sensitive"? Olay usually make decent stuff, very disappointing that I am going to have to throw the entire package away.

Add me to the naysayers. This leaves an odd residue on the skin. These do a subpar job of removing eye makeup--removal requires actual scrubbing that damages the delicate skin there. I prefer Olay's Daily Facials (not "Express"), the dry cloths to which you have to add water. They actually remove makeup, including eye makeup, much more effectively and gently. Plus, you can slip a few of the dry cloths in a plastic sandwich bag for traveling; with the wet cloths, they may dry out.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer--these wipes burned my eyes terribly--to the point where I couldn't even see! My eyelids were burning, and my eyes themselves were burning and watering like crazy; plus, the rest of my face felt hot and weirdly oily after using them. The wipes felt rough and oddly slippery as well, and as a result, were difficult to use (aside from their other terrible properties). I wouldn't recommend any one with normal skin, let alone sensitive skin use these.

I'm a bit surprised at how many people like these wipes. Noy only did I find you have to rub quite hard to remove any makeup, but my eyes were on fire! The package says sensitive skin. Counter productive if you have to rub hard and it makes your eyes burn. I'll stick to the Neutrogena wipes.

These are by far my favorite type of makeup wipes and I've tried them all. They clean my skin without stinging, take off mascara the best and I can use them right up next to my eyes with no irritation. They leave my skin soft and clean. I'm so lazy, not to mention I can't find my bathroom sink at the moment under all my makeup clutter, that I'd never wash my face otherwise. These are perfect for travel or slipping in your purse for after the gym. LOVE!

Doesn't clean makeup off effectively. I have to follow up with another cleanser to make sure my face is truly clean. Not worth the money.

I can't even tell you how many packages of these I've been through - love them! I am lazy, I admit, so anything that gets my makeup off without much effort automatically gets 4 lipsticks, but this earns the 5th because it leaves my skin so soft!


I found these when Clean & Clear stopped making their awesome, textured cloths that you use with water. I loved seeing my makeup on the cloth, knowing it wasn't on my skin anymore; it made me feel clean. When I stumbled upon these, I loved that you didn't need the water like the C&C ones...even better! I have tried many different types of makeup wipes since discovering these but none have come remotely close. None of them seem moist enough - they feel too dry and pull at my skin too much. Many are also smaller, requiring me to use more to sufficiently remove my makeup...not great value! These are quite big (5.75 x 7.5 inches) with 30 in a package. Others also leave a sticky residue or leave me feeling dry - these make my skin super soft and clean.


I like the packaging - the sticky part stays sticky and seals well, and they're easy to travel with since it's relatively small and flat. The last handful of wipes are always very saturated and the first few are not, so store these opening-side-down. The top one will remain very moist since the cleanser will 'drip down' - you'll have a perfectly moist cloth every time.


The last thing I want to do when I'm tired before bed is splash my face with water, so these are the perfect alternative for me. I can "wash my face" while watching TV! I can also skip moisturizing most of the time since these do a great job at that too. I probably wouldn't have used them when I was a teenager due to my acne-prone skin then, and I don't recommend using these exclusively in place of a cleanser if you're still in an acne-prone stage since these do not treat or prevent pimples - however they can still be used for makeup removal. They do a great job at removing everything - even waterproof liner and mascara. It can sting a bit if you get it in your eyes, but it doesn't last very long.


I find them way too expensive at places like Shoppers Drug Mart unless they're on sale (usually $8.99 down from $12.99 Canadian!) but I try to get these at Walmart for about $7 (everyday price, Canadian) when I can get to one! I think that's a comparable price to other wipes that, in my opinion, just do not perform as well as these. Pick up a pack! Highly recommend.

These wipes are great to use before you wash your face at night. I always had a problem with a single cleanser taking off all my make-up. Then I discovered these wipes, using them to get my eye make-up and foundation off, then washing my face has been great for my skin! By the time I go to use my toner, there is no left-over residue or oil on the cotton pad...definite plus! My skin is super sensitive and these don't irritate it or make me break out. I will continue to re-purchase these wipes.
