i really like these! this is the best makeup removing towelette i have ever used. It does not leave a sticky residue, and it does soften the skin. Plus, it does not make me break out. I bought them for 50% or else I probably wouldn't have given them a chance, but I am really glad i did!

These did a very good job of removing my make-up. Did a decent job at exfoliating as well and my skin felt nice afterwards. However, I broke out horribly after I started using these. Would have loved them otherwise.

I am going to start by saying that I do not have a sensitive skin but this cleansing towelettes irritated my skin really bad. I used them at night and after like 15 min my skin started to burn it wasn't really bad but it was noticeable and I felt my skin dry and I have really oily skin. I think they are really expensive.

I tried the genetic brand (equate) and I am in love with them I think I pay $6 for two packages of 60 towelletes each. I love them they are really smooth and moisturinzing. I love them I definitely recommend this over the Ponds towelettes.

This product review is a tough one. I have found that these are not very good at makeup removal. Actually they are horrible. I have never been able to remove all my makeup with these thus making them a pretty big disappointment. I bought them at such a ridiculously cheap price though. One night after tanning I decided to wipe off my face with them because I couldn't find a towel handy and I found that using these with no makeup on was very different. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they removed my facial tanner. When I used a cotton ball and toner afterwards their was no excess dirt or grim leftover. I will keep them in my bathroom cabinet and use them for light removal. I don't feel as though they "exfoliate" either. The packaging is cheap and the sticker stops sticking after awhile. All in all, just Ok.

I bought these towlettes for days when I am lazy to wash my face or when I travel to remove make up and can't bring my make up remover. I think I must have been allergic to them because I had a horrible reaction to them. Once I stopped using them, my skin was fine again. I definitely will not use these wipes again.

I really like these! I am lazy and these are perfect on days that I just don't want to do my whole routine. They are very effective for my needs. I don't wear a ton of makeup but it does remove all of it, including my mascara(non-waterproof). What I love it that my face actually feels clean afterward, not sticky or slimy. I'm not sure how well they exfoliate, but it does seem to cut down on my flakiness around my chin in the winter. Overall, they they work and do what they claim!

These wipes are okay, I don't find them that effective at cleansing the skin and the exfoliating side has tiny plastic nubs that are also ineffective. The seal for reclosing the package is not that great. On the upside the scent is pleasant and the cloths are a good size. Perhaps these are better suited for someone with drier skin.

They take most of my make up off, but i still have to get out my eye make up remover to get what the towelettes didn't get. They make my face very oily and I don't have typically oily skin. They're not a good exfoliator, either. Overall, I'd say they're just ok. They do take face make up off like they're supposed to.

I admit it. Sometimes I'm too dog-tired to whip out the washcloth and soap and wash my face before bed. So I gave these a whirl and I'm glad I did; they are very convenient and get my face good and clean. I can't comment on the exfoliation aspect, but the cleanser works fine on my combination skin, and the scent is pleasant. The only drawback (other than Unilever's use of animal testing) is the package does not close well after a while.

Love these. I got 2 packages for $7. Very cheap, not the best packaging, but not bad either. I only use this on nights when I party. When I come home late and is too lazy to do my usual night routine, I turn to this. It takes EVERYTHING off, which is why I LOVE it. I've purchase this many many times and will continue to do so.

I don't think these exfoliate very well. However, they do get my make up off like I need them too. Just your run of the mill make-up removing wipe.

I bought these before traveling recently. On the plus side, they don't irritate my highly sensitive eczema prone skin. But really, I don't feel they do their job. It says exfoliate on the package, which these clearly do not do. Also, they are horrible at removing eye makeup. I don't even use waterproof mascara and these wipes did not work for me. Overall I'm glad I have something to wipe over my face and remove some foundation and blush, but despite my attempt at streamlining my night routine, I still require a lot more additional cleansing.

LOVE the way this feels on my skin afterwards. has a very different smell, but i personally like it and the little green beads. i like this better than the blue clean sweep ones, which left my skin feeling weirdly tight whereas these made my skin feel softer.

I really like these wipes, but I HATE the packaging!!! I've got combination skin and if I'm too lazy to go through taking off a full face, I can at least use these and feel better about my skin. I like the little bumps on the wipes... I don't think they actually exfoliate too much, but I feel like my skin is getting cleaner. I wish these had an actual cover to them compared with just a sticker because they will dry out. I store mine with the sticker facing down on a surface so that it doesn't flap up. I enjoy the cucumber fragrance as it's not overpowering and it's a bit relaxing. Since it gets wicked hot here, if I'm going with a naked face for the day and feel like a greaseball, I'll use these to refresh my face.

Does nothing for my combo skin to make it feel clean. It feels good when I smooth it over my face but I can get the same effect with a damp towel and my HG Dove soap.

I got this BOGO at Walmart for $7CAD, pretty good deal.

I found it removes makeup easily, but I knew I would like this product because I love Pond's cold cream. I wish it came in smaller packages so I can keep one in my purse for on the go makeup removing. It's a really helpful product to have when You don't have the time to cleanse properly.

I invested in these wipes because sometimes I'm too tired/lazy to take my makeup off properly. I bought these based on MUA recommendations. I also bought the 'anti aging' wipes from Ponds. These exfoliating wipes are nice - but not spectacular.

The 'exfoliating' such as it is -- comes from little raised dots on the surface of the towelette. I can't feel that they help very much versus regular wipes.

The cleanser Ponds uses for their wipes is nice and leaves the skin feeling fresh and indeed clean.

I recently asked "the beauty brains" if there was a difference between regular nonscented baby wipes and expensive makeup removal towelettes and their answer was "NO."

So now I keep a tub of wet-wipes on hand for lazy nights and get the same results.

i use this as a make up remover and i do like it. the only thing, is it kind of burns a little or it hurts my skin sometimes. i noticed that i have to use it with warm water first and then wash my face with it.

UPDATE
they kind of burn my sensitive skin. i think the CVS pharmacy imitation ones are better and cheaper.

I actually use these on a daily basis, not because I actually think they do much in terms of exfoliation, but because they're convenient and a very effective makeup remover/cleanser. I think it's a fantastic, superfast and easy way to leave yourself with no excuse to sleep with your makeup on! I've tried several other brands of towelettes... some have been too harsh in terms of the exfoliation factor (one from Neutrogena felt like going over my face with sandpaper!) and others left my face feeling greasy. I feel like the formula is quite gentle and mild enough for every day use. I typically use this at night to get a good cleanse and remove makeup/residue, and alternate in the morning with cleansing oil/washing powder. I also do a lot of travelling and these are fantastic because you can just pack them up and don't have to worry about carrying bottles... pack enough for one trip and you won't have to worry about repacking them for the way back.

This used to be a standard part of my skincare arsenal, then I quit using it. Revisiting these towelettes, I see why. They don't do a good job of removing makeup (especially mascara). And my skin winds up irritated after use. I DO like the towelettes themselves with their rubbery scrubbing side and the soft, untextured side. I just wish the actual cleanser was nicer to my skin.
