Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes Review

I don't really love makeup removing wipes as they never get EVERYTHING off and while these are no exception to that rule, they're one of the better ones I've tried.

The packaging is nice and easy to handle, just like any other wipes to be honest.

The wipes themselves have just enough product on them to be neither too much nor too little - Just right I would say.

I find they take most everything off my face, except waterproof mascara, actually they even struggle with non waterproof mascara, however I've found this across the board when it comes to wipes. The reason I prefer these to all the others is they get my double wear off without having to scrub and rub at my face - a bonus for me :)

While I'm sure they are full of chemicals, there's nothing in there that stings or makes my eyes water.

Price wise, I find them a bit on the high side, but they often come up on special so that's great.

I will use these again as they're handy to have around when you can't be bothered taking your makeup off properly and they're the best of an average bunch.

Neutrogena is a brand I always fall back on when it comes to cleansing. These towelletes weren't my type of cleansing wipes I do prefer the handy pull out wipes over the towelletes. I felt the towellete were quite harsh on my skin and did tend to dry it out alot. I think the price is abit ridiculous also

I got given a few small travel packs of these which are very handy but I feel I need to scrub my face raw to get my makeup off with these and they leave a soapy foam on my face. I feel like I need to rinse my face after using these and would rather not have to wash my face twice. I hate wasting product so will use them up but definitely wouldn't purchase myself. Nice refresher but not for makeup remover.

I had run out (yeah I know bad management on my part) of my normal make up removing wipes that I normally purchase off of iherb so I had to resort to purchasing some to tide me over from the supermarket during my weekly shop. Having a look over the different brands available and trying the majority of them I settled that the Neutrogena ones must be good to be the most expensive of the lot surely? so into the trolley they went, it doesn't count when it's part of the groceries right?

So after a day of wearing full foundation makeup with waterproof eye makeup I tore into the packet to remove it all before my normal facial cleansing. Opening it up I must say that the quality of the packaging and reseal tab is good, its the saving grace of the product to be honest, its robust and keeps the pack fresh effortlessly. Its also understated chic and simple in its blue tone.

25 wipes in total are held within the blue packet, each one of them felt under saturated in product, which meant that a little more rubbing was required to get the waterproof mascara and eyeliner off. Firstly it took off my foundation and powder easily, even my Velvetine went off without a fight.

Then came the eyes, it dragged slightly causing my mascara and eyeliner to smudge around my whole eye area into a panda mask. 4 wipes later and nearly all traces of the makeup was gone, but add on the 2 wipes used for my face and lips (I don't have a very big face surface to remove from either!) that was a total of 6 wipes to get back to nude skin. Doing the maths that is 4 days worth of removal for a hefty price tag of $15 so that would need 2 packs for a full week! thankfully my normal packs arrived 2 days later so I had no need to grab another make do pack.

On the plus side it didn't aggravate my skin or cause any breakouts but then I do use a facial cleanser/wash afterwards so no traces of the wipes reside would have been left on my skin to cause any reactions.

I honestly didn't know what miracle I was expecting these wipes to perform being 3 times the price of some others on the market but I was left disappointed.
