After using Neutrogena Naturals and assuming I'd never switch, I realized that since I'm about to turn 30 in a few years it was time for some serious skin care products. I switched to Olay Regenerist after using the website for personalized recommendations.
Bit of background on my skin - typical English complexion in the Florida heat and humidity. Sensitive, red (thank you, Rosacea), and very fair. It's hard to find skin care products that don't aggravate it AND actually do something (just because they don't make my skin red as a beet doesn't mean they remove makeup, prevent acne, etc.).
I started using these wipes along with other products in the Regenerist line and my skin looks like a new face!! My redness is so toned down it looks like I've been using prescription products (without the burning sensation they sometimes give). It's a very cooling product, and my skin is not irritated at all after use. After reading the simple instructions I noticed it didn't say anything about rinsing after use, so I haven't been. Didn't matter - it removed ALL traces of makeup and left my skin feeling clean, but not tight.
I've stopped using foundation except for a touch around the jawline and under my eyes. For me, that is a HUGE step. They better not discontinue these, and if they do, someone better put a huge lot on eBay because I WILL be buying it.

I love these wipes. :)

I usually shower at night time only, so that means my face cleansing routine all happens at night. (Scrub, Serum, Night Cream, Eye Cream, etc., etc.)

In the morning, I just wash my face with a face wash of my choice, but lately I have been getting only 3-5 hours of sleep.

Because of lack of sleep, I feel I do not really need to wash my face in the morning causing my skin to become dry.

So I used this this morning to remove any oil or dirt on my face that sleeping has caused.

After wiping my faced with this, I love it very much, no need to over wash my face.

I wipe my face with this and apply serum, eye cream, and a moisturizer with SPF, viola, my face feels amazing.

But I only use this on days that I feel that I do not need to wash my face because of lack of sleep or whatever.

These work for me. I break out HORRIBLY from most cleansing towelettes but almost all of the Olay cloths work for me.


I keep them in my nightstand and used them right before I go to bed. They remove make up very well. Apply whatever night treatments or moisturizers and I'm good to go.


Most towelettes tend to have a strong smell, these are no different but it does fade quickly. You also might feel sticky at first but that goes away once you dry.

I really don't like these. The texture of the cloth is too rough. These cause me to break out a bit. In addition, they do a poor job of removing eye makeup and the cleanser stings my eyes a bit. Love the idea of these, but not the reality.

The first day that I used these cloths, my skin look smooth and glowed. Then, on the second day, no so much. Unfortunately, I conveniently forgot that I am allergic to niacinamide - which is all over the Olay line - and my forehead started getting that rashy look to it. Well, needless to say, there wasn't a day three for this product. If it hadn't been for my allergy, I would probably have given this four lippies for ease of use (how can you beat wiping your face clean?) and what my skin looked like on the first day.

This product is something that I will use every night for the rest of my life. I do wear waterproof mascara and take it off as much as I can with an eye makeup remover before using these cloths, but the cloths take off every last trace of my makeup. After using these cloths, my skin feels hydrated and clean and it LOOKS AWESOME. It looks smooth, and fresh and soft. It does wonders for the lines on my face. Using this, in conjunction with the Oil of Olay Regenerist Night Cream, makes my skin look wonderful.

These are just 'okay'. They take off my make up fairly well, although I won't use these if I have a ton on. I basically just save these for when I feel lazy about washing my face and even then I will still use toner. However I have noticed that these cloths just seem to leave my skin kind of dull and blah if I use them too much. I love the idea of them but they certainly don't seem to exfoliate. They do cleanse the skin and that's about it. They are great for traveling and I actually first got them right after my Breast Augmentation as I couldn't use my arms to well and still wanted to wash my face. I just don't see myself needing to repurchase them anymore. I will probably move on to something else.

I find that I don't feel that strongly about this product one way or the other. It does a nice job of taking off makeup - especially mascara. Also like the size - they seem larger than many other no-water cleansing cloths. Not so fond of the slightly sticky feeling I'm left with after using these cloths. And I'm not seeing any real improvement (or problem) with my skin as a result of using these for a couple of weeks. I would normally give this 4 lippies - but I found that I actually prefer the cheaper CVS clone of this product better. Larger cloth - less stickiness.

I have been using thses since they first came out and LOVE them.. I use them everyday, twice a day , all year, They are so much better than using the dry ones you have to wet, and leave a nice finish to my skin. I don't use anything else to cleanse my skin, and I get many compliments on my young complexion. I am 56,

These cloths do not exfoliate, but they're good for removing makeup and residue when you're either too lazy to wash with water or out in a location where a sink is not close by (e.g., camping, at an amusement park, hiking). These cloths do not break out my sensitive skin and are timesavers for a working mom who is sometimes so tired I can hardly move to the sink. Therefore, although they don't do all they claim to, I would likely purchase them again. I could live without them though.

First let me say that there is nothing exfoliating about these wipes so don't be expecting that. However, they do a great job of removing makeup and cleansing the face and it doesn't dry out my skin like a lot of cleansing cloths do - I can even skip my nightly moisturizer if I have to (at least during hotter months when my face is oiler). It is very convenient to have them wet so you don't even have to be near water to wash your face. I love the fact that they are big (similar in size to a washcloth) so I can wash my face and neck really good. These cloths travel with me on every trip!

Zero exfoliation. There are no bumps on the cloths, nor is it a chemical exfoliant. These leave a filmy residue on the skin. Not at all pleasant for someone with oily skin, maybe ok for drier skin types. The cloths are giagantic, and a huge waste. They could have made each cloth half the size and given you twice as many. I got these to use for lazy days, or trips where I can't "wash" may face, but the residue leaves my skin much too oily. I like Biore's blemish fighting cloths much better, and I am not a huge Biore fan.

Micro-exfoliating? I think not. I will stick to Pond's next time. I only bought these because they were on sale plus I had a coupon, but still, they did not do much of a job even taking my makeup off. The cloths are too slick to do much. I didn't get any irritation and they smelled okay, but they definitely are not worth $7.99 which was the regular price. I think Huggies wipes work much better, and they go on sale for $1.99/72 at CVS all the time.

It was almost my first experience with cleansing cloths. I used SK-II stuff years ago, and was pretty satisfied, but the price was too much for me.
This product is very decent. Not too expensive (I even got $5 rebate from the drug store) and the plastic package and sticker sealing work pretty well.
It cleanses most dirt and light sunblock. Even with water proof stuff, the power of microfiber scrubs off very well. I have oily skin, so that I used extra foaming cleanser afterward, but I guess if you have dry skin, this latter step is not necessary.
The problem was I got the break-out after using this. The cloths is rather big, so I also used it for my neck and shoulder after cleansing my face; rashes and white heads show up the areas I used this cloths.
It's a shame. I liked this stuff until then. It's very convenient and effective.
If you have potentially acne-prone skin, this product may not be yours.

I really like this version of Olay's cleansing cloths. I've tried the regular ones (all skin types and sensitive skin) and they were too harsh for my skin. I've also tried the Total Effects version with BHA and it was a little drying in the winter. These are perfect. It didn't burn my skin, sting my eyes or leave a filmy residue. I am really pleased with these. I haven't had any of the packaging woes mentioned in the other reviews with any version of these. This is a brilliant concept for those who are too tired at night and need a quick and easy way to remove makeup.

While I have generally been pleased with most Olay products, these cloths, after only one use, left me blotchy, inflamed and itchy. I have very sensitive skin and rosacea. I need to further examine the ingredients to see what the culprit could be. Disappointing to say the least. They are going back.

i just bought these today because i didnt wash my face this morning and felt gross. i read about these before my lunch break and decided to get these because they had the word exfoliating and i am a NUT about exfoliation. i love it! anyways, i didnt have makeup on this morning so i dont know how they are at removing makeup. i used to have the olay cleansing cloths (the ones in the blue package) and while i had to use 2-3 of those to remove all makeup, they totally worked and removed all traces of makeup including mascara even though it stung a little. hey, the pain is worth it to clean my face while laying in bed. theoretically speaking, these should probably not replace cleanser and water on a daily basis, but are great for those lazy nights when cleaning is just the LAST thing on your mind. I personally look forward to my nightime regimen! its my own downtime where i pamper my skin and prep it for its beauty sleep. i wish i was more religious with the masks though! Anyways, back to these cloths. i didnt feel much exfoliation, so i dont know where that comes from, but i was in a hurry doing this in my car, so i will update after i use them to remove makeup! UPDATE: these are great for lazy nights to get makeup off, but i felt no exfoliation effect at all. i also kind of fear that all of these cleansing no water needed cloths leave some sort of a residue on your face. you have to wonder what it is that is soaked into these cloths thats cleaning your face without water? i will still buy these because they even managed to remove a full face of clay mask. great for lazyness and convenience, but not a replacement for cleanser and water.

I really like these. The cloths are gentle and completely remove all traces of my make-up including mascara. I cut them in half as that is all you really need and store in a zip lock bag.
I like the way my face feels and looks soft after using.
I have combination skin with oily t-zone. I have been using for about 6 wks now and my skin looks and feels great. I follow up with Regenerist.

I got these for 3.99 on sale at Ulta. while it does a great job at removing face makeup, I diddnt find it easy to take off eye makeup. Maybe its because I had used Urban Decays primer and shadow. I do like the regenerist line Olay has. I wish they would come in a plastic package like the other Olay cleansing cloths. This comes in a cheap wrapper. BOOOO!
