DDF Brightening Cleanser

DDF Brightening Cleanser, 8.45-Ounce BottleI wanted something to help even out my skin that wouldn't leave it in worse shape than before I started with it. I did a LOT of research and for the most part heard nothing but good about this. Of course if you have sensitive skin, some things will not work for you as they did for others.

I have no clue what the reviewer claiming it has hydroquinone in it was talking about. The ingredients say no such thing. She should have done her own research instead of believing what someone else (with ulterior motives)told her. It DOES have Alpha Hydroxy in it, but that is right on the bottle itself (as well as a warning to protect your skin while using it and after).

I've been using it for about a week and a half now (twice a day) and the first noticeable thing was how much smoother my skin is. I have noticed a brightening as well, which is great considering the whole purpose of the product, LOL. I want to get rid of the tan I have after more than 11 years in Southern California. I am originally from the East Coast and am not used to year round sun exposure and it's wrecked havoc on my skin. I have used much harsher items on my skin and although they worked quickly, they were not something I could use permanently and feel comfortable. I am glad I came across this.

The one thing I will remind you of is to use a great moisturizer after. I use Cetaphil (just half a pump) and it's perfect.

The product arrived quickly, in perfect condition. I bought these for myself and my daughter. We both have had great success with the product.

I too received this as a sample in my birch box and so glad I did. First off, my skin was a mess prior to using this (and a new lotion, more on that later). I have combination skin with minor rosacea, dry patches, mild acne, dark spots, and fine lines. I was hesitant at first, thought this cleanser would dry my skin out worse than it already was but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway and I'm so glad I did.

The first thing I noticed was the smell which is a black licorice, I hate black licorice. Otherwise it's a nice cleanser, doesn't burn, foams lightly and rinses clean. Over the past 3 weeks (using 1x a day) my acne has improved and my skin does look brighter, I've also noticed my pores are a lot smaller which is a huge bonus. My dark spots have gotten lighter too. After about the first week and a half I still had my dry patches and had to use 2 moisturizers in the morning and another at night, that was until I began using Cerave PM (recommendation from a friend) and holy smokes it's a winning combination! I use it 2x a day (am/pm) and no more dry patches and my skin feels soft and fresh. I know this review is for the brightening cleanser but this moisturizer is amazing. If you have skin like mine and begin using this cleanser I recommend the moisturizer too, like I said it's a winning combination for sure!!

I gave it four stars due to the smell and the drying factor however if I could have given it 4.5 I would!

I received this product in my Birchbox a while ago. This cleanser is said to be a brightener. I did notice that it helped clear up my dull complexion. If you don't like strong smelling facial washes,then this is not for you. The smell of licorice is kind of intense. This product is also very drying. I found that I couldn't use it everyday,and when I did I needed a good thick moisturizer or something like jojoba oil or argon oil (used at night) to help with the dryness. The second wash is when I finally liked the product a little more and really saw the difference in my skin.

I've used every product under the sun. I have sensitive skin, sometime oily, some small break outs on the chin and lower neck. This product has helped to remove blemishes, and I'm on to my second bottle. I love the way my skin looks. Even after the first use, my skin looked fresher and brighter. I also use the DDF Ultra Lite Oil Free Moisturizing Dew and I keep breakouts at bay by using the acne treatment formula from DDF. Your skin will improve and I'm trying to get my skin to the point where I don't have to wear foundation, and I'm almost there thanks to this product.

John Masters Organics John Masters Organics Birch & Cedarwood Cleansing & Shaving Bar

John Masters Organics John Masters Organics Birch & Cedarwood Cleansing & Shaving BarI got some of this soap in a gift basket last year. It lathers well and makes my skin very soft after shaving. I use it everyday. I still have a good bit of it left..that is before my roommate moved out and stole it! Who steals a used bar of soap? She did and yeah, it's that good!

I use this soap when I'm traveling because it doesn't have to go into my 1 quart baggie to carry onto the plane, and it works both for shaving as well as bathing. It is very mild and the scent does not linger. I'm glad Amazon is carrying it because I've had some trouble buying it at my local Whole Foods. I recommend it highly.

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, 32 Fluid Ounce

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, 32 Fluid OunceThe safety seal wasn't on the bottle and Dermalogica products come with the seal. I finally found the seal that someone had placed under the bottle?? I contacted the vendor and they told me that this is how they receive the product from the company. Dermalogica would never send a product without the safety seal. The seal ensures that no one has tampered with the product. Now I'm unsure if I should trust this clearly previously opened bottle or send it back. Next time, I'll order from Dermalogica and not try to skimp on the price.

I just received my bottle and it was the same thing. There was no safety seal!! I have ordered various Dermalogica products from the store or from other websites and they all came in either sealed boxes or had the dermalogica tape seal. This one had a piece of packaging tape on the top. I opened the bottle it was not full maybe it leaked out? It looks used and smells funny. I have used this special cleaning gel for 10 years. I hope they give a full refund. I have never had a bad experience from Amazon orders. I will never order from this company again!

Olay Total Effects Body Wash, Exfoliate & Replenish, 8.4 oz

Olay Total Effects Body Wash, Exfoliate & Replenish, 8.4 ozI have a serious penchant for how things smell, so that was the first thing I noticed when I tried Olay Total Effects Body Wash. While I can't tell you what the scent is, I can say that it smells AWESOME.

And it's finally time that a moisturizing body wash comes through with that promise.

After using Olay Total Effects Body Wash for a month, I can spot a noticeable difference in my the softness of my skin.

This body wash also promises to produce more even skin tones. In all honesty, I haven't noticed that (yet) but, considering that all the other claims have more than exceeded my expectation, then I'm thinking my skin may just need a little more time to "even" out.

While it is pricier than I prefer for body wash, I'm willing to pay for quality; and Olay Total Effects body wash is definitly worth paying a little more for.

Obagi C Rx System C Cleansing Gel - Obagi - C Rx System - Cleanser - 180ml/6oz

Obagi C Rx System C Cleansing Gel - Obagi - C Rx System - Cleanser - 180ml/6ozI just finished first bottle of this wash and I love it. Lightly scented (very feminine), very gentle and cleans well. I use with the Clarisonic face scrubber system and have had great results. Pricey, but you don't need to use much so it lasts a long time. One bottle lasted from March through July and I used twice daily. Definitely better to buy from Amazon than doctor's office my first bottle was $35 and got second on here for much much less. I have combination skin with occasional acne and this wash kept my skin very clear and made it feel softer. Not sure if the softness is from the clarisonic though since I started using both at the same time.

Excellent for what it says. It gives good feel in the skin after using it and has great consistency.

Would buy it again. Fresh cleansing and smooth.

Just came back to get to stock up while they are on sale. Normally, I get the regular Obagi cleansing gel but I like the C Rx better. I use it with the C Rx toner and day lotion. The first few days I noticed some redness and slight peeling but now my skin looks better than ever. I mix the day lotion with my cover up to thin it out so I get big coverage without a heavy made up look. Try the day lotion in Rx C also; it works great.

Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pads, 65 Pads

Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pads, 65 PadsMy wife loves this product. We don't really get blemishes but She and I use it as an extra face cleanser to really get a deep cleansing after washing our faces. She actually first discovered the product at a dollar store near our house. Bought one container of it. Went back the next day and bought 6 more. She loves the scent. It's very pleasant. Does not smell like medicated pads. She loves how it leaves her skin feeling soft and supple. Leaves skin looking clear. To us both, the Noxzema pads are non drying to our skin which is a plus. She bought the 7 containers last year around this time. Now we're out! Went back to the same dollar store and can't find it. We live in an Urban area as well and grocery stores, pharmacies, mass merchants in our area don't seem to have it. Didn't think we wouldn't be able to find it anymore. I'm so glad I tried to search for it online for her and found it on Amazon.It cost a bit more than what we first payed for it. But it's worth it! Great product!

I bout 2 of them thinking it would take a while to work. I love this stuff. great results in less than a week.. be careful not to get to close to your mouth.caused dryness and brought on wrinkels..nothing some coco butter can't handle..iI aplay in the morning and before bed..

My teen daughter swears this is the only face wash that keeps her acne-free. It was recommended to her by her cousin, who also fought complexion problems. Although we live in a big city, I can't find the product in any grocery or drug stores, so am glad that it is sold in the Amazon marketplace. But the shipping costs almost double the price of the item, which is unconscionable.

Make Up Removing Towelettes by Biore for Unisex, 30 Count

Make Up Removing Towelettes by Biore for Unisex, 30 CountI've tried these for the first time and they do work! The texture is nice and it's moist enough, however the biggest downside for me is that it BURNS around my eyes really stings! For quite a few minutes after using it, my eyes are still tearing up and the skin around keeps burning. I really wanted to love this product, as it's my 1st makeup removing wipes, but I just can't. It was most disappointing since it claimed to remove eye makeup and mascara even better than other brands, so one would think it would also be safe and painless to use for eye makeup. Now I don't know what to do with the rest of the pack

I've been using them for along time. They're not carried here in my town anymore so I order online. When taking off makeup I use one, to wipe the heaviest makeup off my face then rinse it and wash again. I use a second one to be sure all traces of makeup are gone. I use the first one a lot, rinse a third time if necessary. They've never bothered my skin and I have sensitive skin.

Eucalyptus Sink Set

Thymes Hand Cream, Eucalyptus, 2.5-Ounce TubeI am a big fan of the Thymes products. I was disappointed to see that this sink set now is much smaller than the traditional size I usually ordered, but I did not notice that from the picture and I didn't pay attention to the ounces. I also did not like this scent at all. This is the first and last time I will order an item before I have smelled the scent. I just assumed I would love this scent because I usually love all of their products. This is a very strong and lingering scent. Smell it before you order it.

I have dry hands. I put a little on in the morning and my hands feel great all day (and the smell is awesome too). I give this as gifts now I like it so much.

Olay Mascara and Makeup Remover, 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)

Olay Mascara and Makeup Remover, 4.5 OunceMore efficient than oily removers. Leaves sensitive eye skin creamy without being gooey. Removes most of liner and mascara in one try. But it's no longer on store shelves, so that's really disappointing. I'd like to see this product be judged successful so that Olay continues to manufacture it (many times, just when you've found a good cosmetic item, it's discontinued how annoying!).

I love this make-up remover! It completely removes mascara and "color stay" eyeliner without irritation (which is great since I have sensitive eye/skin). The cream is also light-weight compared to cold creams e.g., Ponds. I had a difficult time finding it in stores and was thrilled to find it here on Amazon.

I looked on Amazon and what a great find! 3 bottles will last quite a while :) and for a great price too!

Exuviance Gentle Cleansing CremeI have tried just about every cleanser out there and this is my all time favorite. It leaves my skin feeling much more hydrated and moisturized compared to other cleansers. I swim laps 3 days a week so need a good cleanser for removing chemicals and any bacteria from the pool. This has worked great. I can't say enough about Exuviance products. They are worth every penny.

Korean Cosmetics_Nesura Blackhead Control Green Tea Strips for Nose Care_8 sheets

Korean Cosmetics_Nesura Blackhead Control Green Tea Strips for Nose Care_8 sheetsI'm usually a huge fan of pore strips, I was accustomed to buying the Biore Pore Strips until they started costing 10 bucks a box for about 8 strips, so I considered other alternatives. This product was one of them. Although they do smell good, they are not as effective as the Biore Pore Strip. Cheaply priced, but not as effective. I would find some areas with blackheads still on, and others not as much. And I'm sure many people may be aware of this, but you know when you pull off the pore strip and you look at all the gunk that came out of your pores? You do not see it as much or hardly at all here. I would recommend trying this out at your own risk, but it's pretty likely I'm going back to Biore.

Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Gel Cleanser

Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Gel CleanserI had read positive reviews on the Avon website so I thought I would try this product. I am in my late 20's and I have had persistent acne. These days my breakouts are around my jawline and chin. Before using this product I used Oil of Olay and Neutrogena. Olay didn't seem to clean enough and the latter dried out my skin. I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and am seeing less breakouts especially white heads. When I do have some blemishes they heal and disappear within a day or two. I'm very happy with this product and I hope my skin will clear up more so. Also I use this with the Avon nurtura face lotion and the Avon microdermabrasion home product. Using these three has definitely made my skin softer and smoother.

Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol 1 Kit

Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol 1 KitI am not a very fussy person when it comes to beauty. I don't wear makeup most days, but do want to keep from looking like a Char Pei on a bad day before I'm 60.

Because of allergies, I've always been a Neutrogena gal, using their Healthy Skin line for years. I'm currently using the Anti-Wrinkle / SPF 15 with Retinol, which I've been happy with.

When the Olay ProX System became available through the Amazon Vine program, I really looked forward to testing an expensive anti-wrinkle system. When the box arrived, I was ready to throw my cheapo Neutrogena tube in the junk drawer and start slathering the high-dollar solution on my wrinkled mug, but then I got a thought, "why not do a side-by-side test?". Literally, the right side of my face would be Neutrogena, the left would be the property of Ms. Olay.

I started on May 29, right after taking a `before' photo. So nice to take a close-up makeup-free snap of yourself in bright daylight, such a wonderful way to start the day, but this was for science!

Every day (and night) since I've faithfully applied the three Olay products as directed to the left side of my face and neck, and done my usual Neutrogena in the AM and nothing at night on the right.

After a month, there is absolutely no discernible difference between the right and left sides of my face; well, besides the differences that were there already. I have the same amount of wrinkles, the same depth, the same age spots, everything.

In the interest of science and for +40 ladies everywhere, here are close-up views of my wrinkly un-made-up face for all to see:

(check comments for this info)

Yes, it is ugly, but for a good cause!

In conclusion, I did not have any adverse reaction to the Olay products. All three felt good on my face, never oily or heavy. If I had seen any results at all, I would be happy to continue using them and paying 4x the cost of the Neutrogena Healthy Skin cream. However, without results, I can't see any reason to spend the extra money just for nicer packaging.

To give some background, I am a middle aged woman who is showing a little wear: crinkles around the eyes, a "surprise" line on my forehead and those wrinkles between my eyes. I have fair skin, not too dry.

I got the Olay Pro-x Intensive Wrinkle Protocol Kit about a month ago. The company says that this formulation works by making the outer layer of skin act younger by renewing itself more quickly and maintaining the moisture barrier more efficiently.

Here's how to use the kit: After washing the face in the morning, apply the 30SPF lotion. Then, on the "deep" wrinkles, like around my eyes and on my forehead, apply the deep wrinkle cream (in the tube). Then apply makeup as usual. I found the lotion to be very moisturizing. I had been using Bare Escentuals powder foundation, but found that I couldn't use it while using the kit because my skin was too moist and the powder "clogged". Instead, I mixed some cream foundation with the lotion and applied it with a makeup sponge. At night, again, after washing, slap on the anti aging cream from the jar, followed by the deep wrinkle cream on the forehead and eyes.

Did it make my wrinkles go away? Nope. What it did do was soften their appearance and give my skin a nice dewy look. I liked the SPF in the lotion and the way the deep wrinkle cream smoothed out my crow's feet.

I enjoy using the kit and it does make my skin feel and look softer, but it hasn't removed any years (more's the pity!).

I cannot stress enough that you should test this on a small patch of skin first before using. Especially the tube of anti-wrinkle cream. On my second day of use, I noticed small blistery bumps around my eyes and on my chin. I stopped using the products immediately and washed my face thoroughly, but the skin irritation got worse. I tried calling the toll free number on the box but was never able to reach a live person because their phone system kept disconnecting me. I eventually sent an email and the reply was that if needed I should see my doctor. The blisters got worse, broke open, and it took over a week for my face to completely heal. I was really disappointed, not only in the product but in the customer service from Olay. Even though there is not a warning on the box telling you to test the product before putting it on your face, I really urge everyone to do that. I sure wish I would have!

Of course I was somewhat skeptic about the idea of a product that will help minimize and reduce wrinkles, but I am a believer now. My husband gave me this kit for my 41st birthday...yes he gave it to me as a present. Any other woman would of sent him to the doghouse but I actually asked for this.

I have tried Avon Anew products but had a bad reaction to it. My face swelled and felt numb. Since then I have been using Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer Lotion. The allergic reaction with the Avon products made me hesitant to try new products. Olay is now my preferred choice of skin products. The bottles are smaller than I expected but I carefully read the instructions and quickly started using them. To my surprise, a little does go a long ways. The cream glides on smoothly and effortlessly. In the AM I first apply the ProX Deep Wrinkle Treatment to the crows feet near my eyes, the wrinkles on my forehead and smile/laugh lines around my mouth. Then I apply the ProX Age Repair Lotion all over my face and neck. In the PM before bed, I once again apply the ProX Deep Wrinkle Treatment around my eyes, forehead and smile lines, then apply the Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. It leaves such a smooth silk feeling on my face. My husband is always "petting" me now. LOL

Just after one week I can see dramatic results. The crows feet are less noticeable and the wrinkles on my forehead are smoothing out. The smile/laugh lines around my mouth have not really changed, but I truly believe with continuous use my face will appear 10 years younger in no time. I have no no adverse reactions to the formulas and they have a clean refreshing scent.

My husband made the mistake of purchasing this kit from a well know retail chain and paid full price. Amazon by far offers the Olay products for the best prices around.

UPDATE: I t has been over a couple months and I can honestly say I see a dramatic difference. My laugh lines around my mouth, crows feet and wrinkles on my forehead are about 75% less noticeable. My face is younger looking and healthier, which overall gives me better self-esteem about my "real" age.

Want Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol 1 Kit Discount?

I purchased this kit online at Target, $10.00 off. I had been using the Olay Definity line and thought I'd give the Pro-X a chance, especially with the discount. The wrinkle smoothing cream is sticky for quite some time, at least it is on my face. But, it's smooth as butta in the morning. :) Both the wrinkle smoothing cream (nighttime) and the Daytime lotion with SPF 30 seem to improve my skin. Two age spots, on my cheek, were lightened previously with the Olay Definity line. The Pro-X line seems to have almost taken the spots out completely. I didn't think that was possible. On the downside, I had to stop using the deep wrinkle treatment. It caused redness on my crow's feet area, like a mini sunburn. I was on the Olay website and Olay called me when I mentioned the redness in an oline chat. The lady sent me a coupon good for a free Definity product, which she thought might fit my skin type better. I like the Definity line, even the smell. So, I might use both the Pro-X and Definity line, or simply go back to the cheaper Definity line. Definity seems lighter when applied. I'm pleased overall, but is it a better product than Olay's other lines? Debatable. Honestly, I wish Olay didn't have so many lines. Multiple lines drives me nuts. Regenerist, Definity, Pro-X. I just want something that works that won't empty my skin care piggy bank.

Mirthas Herbal Fresh Shampoo 8oz

Mirthas Herbal Fresh Shampoo 8ozI have been exhaustively searching for THE original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo that was popular in the 1970's with no success. I thought I would give Mirthas Herbal Fresh Shampoo a try, and was I happily surprised at how similar (not an exact match) it reminds me of the original Herbal Essence shampoo. I also purchased Mill Creek Jojoba Shampoo and Aubrey Organics Camomile Luxurious Volumizing Shampoo. When I use these shampoo's together, the scent of the Mirthas Herbal Fresh shampoo is enhanced and further reminds me of the original Herbal Essence shampoo. The reason for 4 stars is not unlike the original Herbal Essence shampoo, Mirthas Herbal Fresh Shampoo is a bit drying to the hair. For me, however, the reason why I purchased this shampoo was the hope that it would smell similar to the original Herbal Essence. And, it comes close. The scent also does not bother me, as I am sensitive to many fragrances.

I purchased this since another reviewer stated it smelled like the old herbal essences. The old herbal essences I remember had a fresh citrus/herb scent and was a light yellow green fluid in a clear bottle with flowers on the background. This shampoo is okay as a shampoo, but smells like dog shampoo.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, 5.1 OunceI usually buy skincare from Sephora, but wanted to cut expenses. Some of my friends told me how great Neutrogena spf lotions are so I gave a try. This kit was a great buy! Not only the price is good but also all 3 products are doing awesome job.

Cleanser: a pea size gives nice foam and removes all face make up and most of eye make up, doesn't make skin dry and tight. The container is 6 oz and will last a while. The scent is not the greatest but nothing offensive.

Eye cream: leaves skin around eyes moisturized, lightweight, but because of AHA I use it in the evening.

Face SPF contains retinol so exfoliates dead cells, makes skin soft and glowy, also lightweight, there is no residue, skin looks healthy and perfect for regular foundations as well as mineral make up. It clears up any bumps and pimples. Normally retinols should be used as a night treatment, because they make skin photosensitive. Sometimes I use it as a night moisturizer. During the day I follow with extra sunscreen if I'm outside for longer period.

Overall I am very happy and definitely will try other Neutrogena products.

I have never reviewed a skin care product in my life, but this product is so amazing I want to shout it from the rooftops! I am 31 years old. I still occasionally get breakouts and recently I have started seeing some fine lines around my eyes. I've tried more products than I can list and either they did absolutely nothing or made my skin even worse by causing more breakouts, making my skin really oily, or drying it out. So really when I bought this product I didn't expect much. However, to my total amazement, after ONE use I could see the lines fading and after three uses some of the lines have DISAPPEARED. I look FIVE YEARS YOUNGER after just a few days of use!! I am using this product along with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream and I will NEVER USE ANYTHING ELSE. My face is smoother, softer, firmer, completely breakout-free, my pores are smaller and clearer and the fine lines have almost totally disappeared! I don't know what kind of voodoo they put in those bottles! Try it right now. You will not be disappointed!

When I was in my late teens my dermatologist recommended Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream with SPF 15, just for moisturizing my face. I loved it and used it for 4 years, and then of course I thought I found a "better" NEWER product so I changed and from then on I kept changing and changing and now 8 years later I have found myself back at the same products that were recommended for me in my late teens. I always price check my local store and Amazon before I actually buy. While checking Amazon, I found this set! Amazing deal, for the face wash, the face lotion, and the eye cream I paid $12.00, which is what you pay for just the face lotion alone, in store and even on Amazon. I stocked up on this deal because I will not be changing my face regimine anymore. I normally have bigger pores and red splotches but when using this set it has made my skin SO soft, made my pores almost invisible, and cleared up the redness in my face, so much so that people have noticed and complimented me on how great my skin is looking.

The only downside to this set is that I REALLY am not a big fan on the smell of the face wash. It does it's job and is actually really gentle on my sensitive skin but it has a really strong, unpleasant smell in my opinion. I use it because it does work well, but like I said I don't like the smell, which I can easily get over for the price.

As you age, you grow from experiences and I have leared, if it's not broke don't fix it. This is a great system. My biggest concern now is that it will get pulled off the marked to be replaced with a "new updated" version that of course won't work as good as the older version!

I recommend this to anyone!

Love this cleanser. My derm. recommended glycolic acid and salicylic acid for my skin and this cleanser offers both! The glycolic acid sloughs off the dead surface skin cells preventing clogging of pores and the salicylic acid helps with any minor breakouts that might occur. This is such a great product for mature women (I'm 44) who still unfortunately get breakouts but want a product that's good for their aging skin texture. I also use the Neutrogena Anti Wrinkle/Anti Blemish cream in conjunction with this cleanser. Highly recommend this!

I'm over the age of the expected user, into my 50s, but this is the product that I use... and my daughters (20 and 17) have also been using for years. It works for all of us, keeping our faces fresh and clear.

Soap & Glory Off Your Face Wipes Cleansing Cloths

Soap & Glory Off Your Face Wipes Cleansing ClothsI did a heavy smokey eye look and these wipes worked to remove all the eye makeup in about three passes, with no stinging, and removed every spec. They also seemed to clean the rest of my makeup well too. The problems I had are this: one, they have a residue that left my desperate for a washrag to clean it off. My skin felt greasy and a bit chemically...washing off with a washrag is no big deal afterwards, but if you are buying these to bypass the washrag, think again. For the price, I still like my Sephora makeup remover and a rag that can handle both the remover and a bit of cleanser (I use Origins Checks and Balances). I was hoping this would be cloth free and more refreshing than they really are, so I could use them on the road.

Second problem, these aren't as moist as they could be, so I was tugging at my skin a bit more than I like to use. Just an ounce more of water in the pack would help considerably, and I may add that on my own.

It should be noted though that I had no stinging sensation or reaction to these and I have sensitve skin. Figure 40cents each. I actually tried the Dove ones that had a bit of texture to the cloth and liked them better, but you did have to have water on hand to moisten. BUT, those ones could ride along in my makeup bag individually, which was convenient.

These are the best cleansing wipes I have ever tried. They remove make-up & oil at the end of the day with ease. I have combination skin & as I've gotten older & wiser I've learned that leaving make-up on overnight is a big no-no. Now using cleansing wipes before bed has become my beauty routine. My skin felt clean & soft. Since I ran out, I have tried 2 other brands, but not as happy as I was with these. Worth the money & I will be buying again!
