These wipes didn't irritate my skin, so that's a plus. I also enjoyed the typeface used on the packaging. Sadly, the minuses outweighed those good points -- the cleanser left a heavy film on my face that I needed to rinse off, which I always find annoying in a wipe, and they didn't effectively remove eye makeup. I'll stick with the Garnier Nutritioniste towelettes from now on.

I like these wipes a lot. The scent is fresh and soft and it removes makeup well (I don't use waterproof mascara or eyeliner). These don't sting my eyes like many makeup removers do. I normally wash my face after using these, but one night I didn't and while it left a residue right after using, after a while it dried/absorbed into my skin and my skin felt soft, not dry.
The only problem is the packaging, which is horrible. The package is only sealed by a sticker and the flap that opens the package rips easily at the edges of the sticker, so there are tears that can't be sealed up-- I've had to throw half a pack of these away because they dried out.

I purchased this and tried it once. Subjecting myself to this product one time was enough. First of all, it's not a bargain considering that with daily use you would need to repurchase every month or more. Second of all, the packaging is terrible. I can forsee these drying out due to the fact that the packaging is flimsy and I can forsee the sticky part giving out towards the end. But most of all, this product STUNG my skin (which I consider to be only moderately sensitive). The worst part was that it irritated my eyes so badly that minutes after application, I had a red dot on lower undereye area which did not disappear. STAY AWAY! At the very least, if you must try this product, do NOT use on the eye area.

overall: first of all, i do not have dry or sensitive skin. i have combination skin with an oily t-zone that is prone to breakouts. i really like these towels to remove my makeup such as foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and so on, but it does not work for my waterproof mascara since they're water-based. i don't mind that since these towels actually leave my skin feeling clean and refreshed, unlike the mac wipes which leaves a residue on my skin. also, other makeup removers irritate my eyes, but these don't.
package: the towels come in a compact, plastic package that is small and portable.
price: $3.99 USD for 20 towels at trader joe's. i don't know where else they're sold at.

I adore these! My skin gets very dry and I've had trouble with every other makeup remover I've used either drying my skin out more, making my skin (generally around my eyes) sting like crazy, or making my eyes burn. (A side rant: Honestly, why would you make a MAKEUP REMOVER that burns your eyes? People who are buying makeup remover are very likely to use it on their eyes. Lame.) This does none of the above and actually moisturizes my skin. I use these to quickly remove makeup and clean my face before I go to bed. I also like to cut a couple of them up (they're a pretty good size - 8" x 8") and use those for little makeup smudges or whatnot I may have every now and then. I would highly recommend these!

I have the "original" Comodynes. The thing about these is they are practical and do a great job. I've become too lazy to remove my makeup and cleanse my face with diferent products, so these have definitely made my life easier. They are soft and don't irritate my sensitive skin either. They remove all my makeup and have not caused any breakouts. I follow with Aquanil and this makes my skin nicely clean yet hydrated. Took one lippie off for the fragrance only.

These irritated my rosacea (weren't all that for *my* sensitive skin). They also made my face feel sticky.

I got these to use as an easy-to-use, waterless cleanser to remove sunscreen and cleanse my face in the evening. However, if I didn't rinse, my face was left sticky and stung a little with pricklies. Also, initially, my face was tight and a little scaly, though later it felt softer (though still sticky). I noticed my package has different ingreds than listed here or drugstore.com. I will update with the ingreds soon.

I've bought several of these and will continue to do so. I use these before I wash my face and only this for my neck (I hate washing my neck...my entire torso gets wet...makes me nuts). Smell is gentle and it removes all my face mu/ss. I have very oily skin and this doesn't make my face more oily or cause any product-breakouts. Unfortunately it doesn't even come close to removing my KA mascara and I still have to use an eye mu remover for that. Packaging is only so so. While they're great for travel, they will dry out if you don't carefully reseal the package and the seal tends to stop working about 3/4 of the way through so I throw them in a ziploc. With the exception of those 2 things (1 lippie off for each), these are great and will continue to buy until I find something else that works better.

These face wipes work really well on my dry, sensitive skin and don't cause any irritation for me. I wash my face first with an Olay wash that removes waterproof mascara, and then finish with this to exfoliate and get off any traces of grime. The scent seemed odd at first, but I now I really like it.

These wipes are particularly good for cleaning the t-zone and keeping acne at bay. I also use them to exfoliate my lips. The only drawback is making sure to close the package properly so they don't dry out. I might try putting the whole package in a plastic container with an airtight lid.

One gripe is that the "oats" thing is a bit misleading, considering that oat extract (whatever that is), is the last ingredient. That said, they work and they only cost a few bucks at Trader Joe's. My face feels very soft and smooth after I use these.

I found these towelettes to be far too heavily scented (I could smell one in the trash for days after using it) and they irritated my dry, sensitive skin. I've tried them a few times and was left each time with little bumps all over my face for a few days afterwards.

These are amazing. I confess, I sometimes (way more often than i should) fall asleep w/out removing m/u. I am not a huge fan of using m/u remover cloths in general b.c they tend to dry out my skin, but these are amazing. They feel so good (cool and soft) on my skin when I am tired. They remove everything (incl. gel liners) gently w/out tugging and leave my skin feeling soft. I don't even need a moisturizer afterwards. I absolutely love these things. They are super cheap at TJ's too ($3-4). I plan on stocking up on these for my travel, gym, and night drawer.

uhm.. i have the comodynes dermatological towels for acne prone skin. well i'm not acne prone, but theyre also good for oily skin. i don't wear makeup so i didnt see the point of getting the makeup remover wipes. but i do play soccer/football. and i go to classes still. so i need those wipes in my purse along with my sunscreen whenever i feel i need a lil wash up. usually once a day, or everytime before and after sports. and helps my skin stay clear of those TOTM blemishes too. i LOVE comodynes. the whole range sounds amazing.

I picked these up at Trader Joes after seeing them at a friend's house. Even though my skin tends to be on the oily side, these moisturizing facial wipes work great. They don't take off waterproof makeup, but they do effectively remove normal foundations, concealer, etc. They are gentle on the skin, don't have an unusual smell and leave my skin feeling great. I usually rotate using these and Cetaphil at night during the week. The wipes come in a container that looks like a larger version of the mini-tissue packets you get on the plane or for travel. My one gripe is that the sticky tab that you originally peel off to open them and are supposed to reuse to keep them close eventually loses its stickiness and lets the wipes dry out. I remedied this by always keeping my pack in a ziplock to keep the air out. Overall I highly recommend as a gentle facial wipe. Great for camping too.

Love these towels! Convenient and effective, plus the price is right. I cut each one in half like many out there. They are part of my daily routine. (My first step - then exfoliation, then moisturizer.) Makeup's gone and skin is smooth and clean but not dry. Not quite 5 lippies because they don't work on waterproof mascara (even regular mascara takes a bit of effort, but it does come off). On packaging: it's okay, but mid-way through the pack I need to resort to a ziploc bag as the pack the towels come in won't reseal very well.

I found these in Trader Joes and was curious if they really would remove all makeup including mascara. Surprisingly, they do. While I wouldn't recommend them for everyday use, they are great for those nights when I am just too tired to go through my whole face washing routine. I plan on keeping them on hand.

I love the way these smell! They should make a bodywash or perfume of it... Anyhow, I really like these to wash my face w/when I'm going to take a nap and don't want to get up. They are also quite useful because I have a hard time accessing sinks (wheelchair access is a problem).

So you're saying "Yes jago, all wipes can accomplish what you've mentioned!". Comodynes never sting, even when my skin is feeling really sensitized. And I never feel like I need to rinse something off my face.
final note-the size is good. I feel guilty creating waste by using a wipe, but they aren't huge, so I don't feel as guilty as I do when I use other brands.
wish they came in a hard, refillable case, or in one with a sturdier "latch", the stick on this wears out sometimes.

My most favorite makeup remover ever! I am able to use the towlettes on my entire face including my eye area without any irritation. The towlettes are a good size, and one is plenty to remove a full face of makeup. They don't seem to cause an acne flare ups, either. My face feels clean after using them, but I like to wash it anyway. I find that keeping the whole package in a ziploclk bag helps retain the moisture.

Ingredients: Aqua (water), Butylene Glycol, Trideceth-9/PEG-5 Octanoate, Glycerin, Avena Sativa (oats extract), Sodium Coceth Sulfate, Sodium Coceth Sulfate/PEG-40 Glyceryl Cocoate, PPG 20 Methyl Glucose Ether, Propylene Glycol/Sodium Methylparaben/Sodium Dehydroacetate/Sorbic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methyldibromo Glutaronitrile/Phenoxyethanol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Tridsodium EDTA, Parfum (fragrance), Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate
