I love these... They're incredibly convenient, effective, and-- the best part!-- they don't leave any soapy residue after use. My skin feels pretty smooth and soft after I remove my makeup, and I know it's because of these. Would absolutely repurchase.

I bought this before I went camping, and I have used it ever since. Does a good job removing makeup and is a decent facial cleanser when I am too lazy to wash my face at night.

I love these for removing makeup, although I still use a cleanser afterward to really get my skin clean. I find that the store generic version of these pads work just as well, but for less money.

Note: I bought the Rite Aid version of these since they were cheaper. LOVE. THEM. I remove makeup before I wash my face (its just good practice especially if you use a medicated cleanser, etc) and it cleans without feeling sticky. The cloths are big, which is very nice. I cant see how using the name brand would be any better. Save a couple bucks and get the store brand! These are alcohol-free and have chamomile, vit. E, and panthenol, and are not irritating in the least. very gentle. Much easier and less messy than using a liquid/cream makeup remover.

generally a good product, but the left my skin feeling slightly sticky like there was plant residue on it. It did remove makeup but mascara was very hard to get off, and took up most of the sheet. they smell fine and are fairly large, which is a big plus. i would only buy these if washing my face was a problem like to a camping trip or something, but otherwise my cleanser does a whole much better than these for removing makeup and general cleansing. the product is just average- not too bad but not the best.

I bought these when I went to camp because they're quick and easy. It removes dirt real well, my face felt pretty clean. However, nothing beats washing like with a cleanser and water. But overall, these cleaned up makeup pretty well, but it did leave mascara behind. I hate waking up and seeing mascara smudges.

I have been using these towelettes since I was twelve. After dancing practice or special occasions, I always use these to remove all my makeup. It even removes waterproof mascara. The texture is soft but also exfoliates. I also like the clean scent.

I used these for quite a while, largely because I couldn't find anything better. They're not useless, they will get most of your make-up off, and they're handy in that you can use them while basically collapsing into bed after a long day when you're too tired to properly wash your face.

But they are nothing special, and the packing sucks. The 'box' that they come in is worthless--cheap plastic catch that does nothing--you might as well toss it. The refill packages close with this only moderately sticky tab, and the only way to keep the air out so the wipes don't become dry (and I mean DRY--like toilet paper!) is to either stick it in a ziplock baggie, or to place something heavy on top of it.

Really, they're only worth using until you find something better. I'm still looking.

I sometimes forget to remove my makeup before going to sleep, so I thought that makeup-remover towelettes would be a good solution. I bought a travel-size package of these and put them by my bed, and I've been using them for about a week now. I really like them! They feel very cool and soothing on my face, and I haven't noticed any greasy residue on my face after using them. My only complaint is that they don't really remove all of my waterproof mascara. But overall - a great product that I will definitely purchase again :)

I think its the best make-up remover out there, altho it is a little sticky. These towelettes do the job, and it smells good too =)

I purchased the POND'S Clean Sweep w/chamomile & green tea and I don't think these are bad at all. I needed some wipes to wipe off my forehead and eyebrows because I was getting my eyebrows threaded after work and had a full face of makeup on and these worked fine. My face was not dry or tight! It was slightly sticky but I rather have that then tight or dry skin. I put the package in a zip lock bag so the wipes would not dry up.

This product does what I wanted when looking for premoistened towelettes to remove makeup and clean my face when I'm feeling lazy. I still feel the need to rinse off the residue with these ( a damp viva paper towel works well and keeps it simple) but I think I would get that with any product like this that actually cleans your skin. I have an oily T-zone and these remove that excess oil without being terribly drying to the rest of my face so I think these are good for combo skin types. I took off one lippie for the smell- a little too perfume-y for me. I'll look for an unscented version of these when it's time to repurchase because I will buy again.

I love the cleansing cloths in general but this one isnt very good. It does not remove my eyemakeup at all. Mascara is always still there and i just wear one coat of regular mascara. Also doesnt remove longwearing gel liners very well. The cloth was fine other than that. I normallly usse Proactiv and this didnt bother my skin at all. Retails for $5 at any drugstore but i have used cleansing cloths that actually remove makeup so i would skip this.

These towelettes do a decent job of removing dirt, oil, and make-up but barely removed non-waterproof mascara. I did not care for the fragrance and personally need to wash my face with cleanser and water to feel clean, however, these will do in a pinch.

I HATE THESE!!!! AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, they take off your makeup but it leaves a weird film on your face. And as for taking off your eye makeup? NO. It burned soooooo bad! I only use these when I'm feeling lazy.

I always use these towelettes at the end of the day. They take off my eye makeup completely and leave my skin feeling soft and smooth. They don't irritate my skin or eyes at all. I have used this product for quite sometime, as well I have tried others and more expensive department brand eye makeup removers and makeup remover products and they simply do not work as well for me. I would highly recommend this product, especially to someone that is strap for time or is very tired at night and wants to shorten their routine or even would just like a nice solution to a common problem!

I use these occasionally to remove makeup and to cleanse my face when I'm too lazy to follow my usual night time skincare routine. these do the job. it removes all my water resistant eye makeup and gunk on my face. it doesn't irritate my eyes which is good. this does dry out my face since I have really dry skin so I follow up with a hydrating toner and moisturizer. this would not replace my cleanser and toner but I like having it for those days when I'm too lazy to wash my face before bedtime.
