My Opinion:

Several weeks ago, I had a stye on my lower lash line (really close to my eyes), it wasn't red or swollen, it was just irritating.

 

I've started to use these wipes to clean my lash line and after about 4 days it was gone, but since then, I've only been using these wipes to remove my eye makeup.

 

I always though that my cleansing regime was removing everything, but after using these wipes, I came to realize that there were still makeup residue around my eyes even after removing everything with a makeup remover and going over it with a cleanser.

 

Even though they are expensive, I'm going to stick with it, because I've noticed brighter skin around my eyes after using it.

My Opinion:

I've tried several makeup wipes in the last few months and ended liking most of them, but my favorite is still Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Acne Blemish Clearing Facial Towelettes, but since these aren't available locally I had to order it online, and before they arrive I got these from a local drugstore.

 

These wipes removes all my makeup, doesn't irritate or dry out my skin and it has a nice floral scent, I though this were pretty good until recently I've started to notice some blemishes (hormonal), nothing serious just the usual monthly breakouts, but while I was using the Tomatoes wipes I didn't have any hormonals breakouts. I guess that these wipes are really good for everyday use, but during that particular time of the month, where my skin is super oily, I need something stronger that will keep blemishes away.

My Opinion:

 

I've previously tried the Yes to Grapefruit Brightening Facial Towelettes and was pretty sure that I've finally found the best makeup wipes, but since I still had a packet of the tomatoes towelettes I have to finish it off before ordering again.

 

The first time that I've tried these, I wasn't sure if I liked it, because these towelettes weren't as saturated as the grapefruit one, and the scent was weird, I don't know how to describe it, but it smells like chemicals and I didn't like it.

 

Now fast forward one month, I have already finished my packet and ordered a few more online. Although I didn't appreciate the scent, I've noticed that since I've started using these I didn't break out once. I've been kind of lazy, and have only been using these wipes to remove my makeup, so I guess it does works in removing makeup and controlling blemishes.

 

I've been so impressed with the Yes to Facial Towellets that I went ahead and ordered the cucumbers wipes as well, reviews are coming up soon.

My Opinion:

 

These makeup wipes were definetly larger then the Japanese ones I've tried before, and personally I do prefer bigger wipes, but they weren't as saturated and I've noticed that these wipes only takes off basic makeup, I always have to go over it with another foam cleanser.

 

These wipes are very strongly scented (a fresh clean scent), but it didn't irritate my eyes. I've aleady finish my packet and would only consider this as an average makeup wipe and I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

After removing my makeup I'll just rinse with water and I'm good to go, doesn't feel oily or greasy, my only complain would be the shape of the wipes, it has a long rectangular shape that makes it kind of weird to wipe with it, but that might be because I'm used to square wipes.

My Opinion:

I would consider myself a newbie with these wet cleansing towelettes, because so far I've only tried 3 differente kinds, and I didn't really like the ones that I've tried so far.

 

I have to admit that these were really convenient, but I found that I always have to go over it with a cleanser because they just don't remove all my makeup.

 

Anyway, amongst the ones that I've tried I think Neutrogena is the only one that I might consider repurchasing, but I'm still not entirely satisfy with it, unlike my Olay 2 in 1 Cleansing Cloths, these really does remove all traces of makeup without the need to go over it with a cleanser, but unfortunately these are dry wipes and I'm searching for a wet wipe.
