Love these! They work great on my combination skin and get all the grime off. With these next to my bed, there's no excuse to go to sleep with a face full of makeup. The smell is yummy. Such a great product.

These wipes are amazing!!! The smell for one thing is delicious! Perfect for the days when I don't feel like getting my face wet and washing it. Removes makeup fairly well. Whatever I don't get off with this cold cream is sure to remove! Makes my skin look really good, especially after I moisturize. Will definitely repurchase!

These wipes got fairly good reviews here and on the Sephora site, so I bought them on impulse and just used one for the first time. I'm definitely impressed. They seemed to strip off all of my powder, foundation, and blush without a problem and without leaving any nasty residue like I've had with other wipes. I didn't use them on my eyes except to carefully wipe away the last traces of shadow, and while my (very sensitive) eyes didn't sting, I wouldn't recommend using them as a primary makeup remover there as they might be too harsh. But I really like them for the rest of my face, and will definitely re-purchase. I just wish they came in a lidded box or something, as I don't want them to dry out. But overall they're a good price for the quality (especially as compared to similar products like MAC's wipes), they got my makeup off without leaving me feeling slimy or even more oily, and they even seem mildly exfoliating, which is good if you have very oily, acne-prone skin like me but still wear full-coverage foundation.

These did an ok job of removing my makeup, but I can't stand the smell. It's way to strong and makes my eyes burn a bit.

I love this product! It's effective at removing makeup. It's not that much more expensive than say Olay wipes or another mass brand. And the SCENT is heavenly! Love it!

My skin felt burned on the first and second times I used this wipe. From the third time and on, it was fine. This wipe cleans well compared to other wipes I had used. However, I won't buy it again because it is too irritated to my skin although it is a natural product. I will buy the milk one when I finished this pack. One more thing, the tape of this pack of wipe doesn't stick well at all.

I really disliked these wipes, except for the scent. I thought the scent was nice but these are just not good! They don't take off makeup, not even pressed powder and bronzer, and I don't feel like my face is clean after using them. They do a horrible job at removing mascara and they feel sort of dry and not very moist. I really want to love this brand but I'm consistently disappointed with their products. I love paraben-free lines and try to stick to those but Korres kind of blows. These might be okay to refresh your face on a hot day if you're not wearing makeup that will smudge but I didn't even bother finishing my package. And the packaging sucks! They use a sticky tab to keep them from drying out but the sticky tab doesn't stay closed! I'm going to try out Josie Maran's Bear Naked wipes and hopefully have better luck!

They smell good and my skin feels nice after using these wipes....but they don't take off my makeup very well. I see no point in a makeup wipe if I have to then completely wash my face the traditional way. I've been using them at the beach as a sort of refresher wipe after saltwater and sand. I will not repurchase.

These face wipes smell divine and do leave my skin feeling soft.

However, I felt they only did a moderate job of removing eyeliner and mascara. For such an expensive wipe, I expected more.

Because they are priced so much higher than drugstore brands that actually do a great job of removing makeup, I can't justify repurchasing these.

Although I am a fan of Korres products, I do not plan on repurchasing this item. This make up remover wipe is just average. I liked that it has a wonderful, pleasant and fresh pomegranate smell that was not overpowering and that it did not leave my face feeling greasy afterwards. However, it did not do a good job removing my eye make up. I do not wear heavy make up, so I don't recommend it to those that wear heavy makeup or use waterproof mascara unless you want to do some serious scrubbing to your face. The wipes were also not as moist as other make up remover wipes that I have used in the past. Maybe I just had a bad packet, but they just seemed dry as soon as I opened them. The packaging is like most wipes, but I had trouble keeping mine sealed. So it's best to store yours in a ziplock bag or a baby wipes container to retain its moisture. Really, I want to like it, but this is just a mediocre product.

I like that these wipes are non-oily and seem to remove face makeup and oil ok. Didn't get all of my mascara off though. My face felt a little dry after using it. The smell is...well not pomegranate...some other scent that isn't my fave.

Takes away the day, leaves my face feeling refreshed and it smells like heaven. Don't expect to remove heavy mascaras and eyeliners with this product though, rid your eyes of product with an oil based remover then proceed to use the wipes for the rest of your face and to take away the leftovers from your eyes. A much nicer alternative to baby wipes, and not much more expensive. You will want to move these to a baby wipe case or the like if your sticker becomes fidgety and doesn't want to close as happens regularly with products packaged in this manner- or the product will dry out and not feel as nice.

This was recommended to me by a sales associates, I had been looking for something to take off my eyeliners and mascara in particular. I have been using these on my entire face and to remove eye makeup and they are amazing!! I only gave it a 4 overall because they do require a little bit of hard pressure wiping to remove tightlined eyes, but it certainly removes the product. No more raccoon eyes when I wake up after thinking my face was clean. They are also very lightly scented, it's not strong and it's not too sweet, just right for a makeup remover I think. I do rinse my face after using them, I don't know if it's truly necessary though but it feels like I should, then I moisturize after the water rinse.

Very nice product. I do not see this as being suitable for very oily skin as it is quite moisturizing. It is working well on my mature skin for the summer if that helps. has a mild fruit scent that is not overpowering. Some pomegranate scented products smell like Hawaiian Punch -- this does not. You have to really work at it to get mascara off -- so I am taking off one lippie.

I love these! I've gone through a few packs now and I much prefer them to my mac makeup remover wipes - less greasy. I've been using them along with the Korres Pomegranate moisturizer and found a big difference to my skin - overall smaller pores and less oil.

The packaging could be improved - the moisture from the wipes sometimes causes the peel back sticker to not adhere properly, so by the end they are drier than they start out. Overall though, great product.

I have used only two of these wipes and will probably return this item to sephora. It smells okay, but I would prefer something less scented. The problem for me came when the wipes made my skin react badly. My cheeks, nose, and forehead got flaming red. My mother saw me after I had used one and she told me to wash my face right away because it looked so bad. My skin in not overly sensitive, but my cheeks do have a flush to them that flames up with it's hot or I get embarrassed, etc. Something in this product irritated my skin until it flamed red. This can't be good for the skin, and it's even worse if you are using this at the beginning of the day and now have to deal with starting your skin routine over again or trying to cover a reation with make up. No thanks!

Took off ALL my makeup - foundation, lipstick, mascara, everything! Did not irritate nor did it leave behind a sticky film. Very convenient package, ideal for work or travel. Doesn't spill. Doesn't stain. Doesn't irritate. Smells nice, too. All in all a HG PRODUCT!

The wipes themselves are awesome, it's because of the packaging that I only gave it 4. I thought after first using these that they were great, but they're just wipes, and i was sure that cheaper ones would be just as good. I've since bought cheaper ones and let me tell you...you get what you pay for! These really clean but don't dry me out at ALL and i'm prone to dryness. they also don't leave any gross greasy residue like the neutrogena ones i got. after those ones, i feel like i HAVE to wash my face or i'll break out (i did use them once without washing and didn't but they just don't make me feel clean). the smell of these ones is also awesome. what i've decided is that since the packaging doesn't stay closed (i took a hint from a previous reviewer and stored them in a ziploc baggie), that i'll stash the next pack in the box that came with the neutrogena ones. i'll def be rebuying these once i use up the cheaper ones. :) love korres!!

i really do like these wipes.

the pomegranate extract smells great and leaves my skin smelling great AND feeling refreshed. it does not irritate/sting my eyes and face. it doesn't feel oily or leave an oily residue. the packaging, as a lot of wipes out there, has an adhesive for the top/opening. the adhesive can start wearing off so the wipes might dry out. HOWEVER, at $12 for 25 wipes, these ARE a bit on the pricey side.

now onto the product...
this removes my eye makeup in less than 5 wipes! (i don't use face products.) it removes eyeshadow like a BREEZE, it takes a tiny bit of work for waterproof eyeliner. i don't use waterproof mascara so i can't elaborate on that, but if you use washable mascara, then these wipes will EASILY take off your makeup. definitely recommend this to oily/combo skin! :]

after i finish these, i MIGHT buy them again or look for others.
