Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes Review

Whenever I'm in the market for new makeup removing wipes I turn to BR to try and find something that I haven't tried before. I am still on the hunt for the perfect makeup removing wipe so I thought this time I would try these. I got them in the 'Night Calming' style because I quite liked the Johnsons ones in that scent/flavour.

The packaging of these is your standard wipe style but in a nice lilac colour. I find the lid manages to stick down quite well even after you use them for a while. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

So the scent of these I didn't actually end up loving. I expected it to be somehwhat lavender-y and calming. But I find it sweet and sickly and to be honest just a wee bit gross. The wipes are nice and soft though, and they are damp enough to manage to get your makeup off your face. I didn't find them particularly good at removing my mascara as I found I still had wee smudges under my eyes the morning after using these. It claims to remove waterproof mascara but I don't believe that one bit. My skin didn't mind these though and I didn't have any problems with breaking out or skin irritation while using them.

I won't be repurchasing these as they aren't very good at removing waterproof mascara.

I used the ones recommended for night time with the 'calming scent' or something along those lines... HATED the smell and the way they made my face feel! Yes, they removed my make up and stubborn mascara, but my face was left feeling greasy, almost slimey. And I personally can't stand how they smell. Wouldn't purchase again, but I would recommend these to those with very dry skin as the oily feeling I got probably just feels hydrating to others.

I LOVE Neutrogena make up wipes, both the blue and purple packs. What I love is that I can be sure that I will get ALL of my make up off - every single bit of it and only ever have to use 1 wipe. There's a generous amount of moisture in the wipes which I like as it ensures all wipes will have enough product on them to remove make up from opening the packet to the very last. It's usually a bit more expensive than other make up wipes but it completely removes all of my make up - including night time heavy make up, bold lipstick. It never has any affect on my skin (I have dry/sensitive skin) and there's no spongy like parts in the wipe so it doesn't absorb the product so much so that the wipes dry out when in a dey environment

I'm not usually a fan of makeup wipes and this was no exception. For some reason, every time I use makeup wipes they break out my skin, which these did as well. They did a good job of removing my makeup and the scent was rather pleasant but I won't continue to use them as my skin turns into a mess when I use them.

I've given up on using facial wipes, because I find them not to be as effective as proper cleansing. But, if I had to go camping for a week and didn't have running water, I would probably purchase a pack. And these were the wipes I most preferred, back in those wipe-using days.

My favourite feature is the packaging; the seal is really good, and keeps the moisture in. But, if you're not using them every day, I did find the last few in the pack dried out a bit.

In terms of performance, they did the trick at removing foundation and eyeshadow; waterproof products like mascara and eyeliner were a little harder to budge, and you'd get a small amount of lash fall, but nothing too dramatic.

These are great for those nights when you get home really really late, and can think of nothing more than climbing into bed, and you don't want to wake the whole household by pottering around in the bathroom. Ideal if you've had a few wines too, haha.

I tend to trust Neutrogena as the products that I have used from them in the past have worked well for my skin, so this is why I chose these wipes even though they were a bit more expensive.

The packet worked really well and had a great seal which I was happy with. When I used it for thr first time I had an average amount of makeup on, foundation, powder, mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow. The wipe was nice and refreshing and had a nice smell to it. I Began to wipe off my makeup and it all went well, however it took a bit more effort to get the mascara and eyeliner off but for me that is expected.

I only needed to use one wipe total to remove all of my makeup. However once all of the makeup was off my skin was left feeling a little oily, thinthis dried in a few minutes but this made me think about what my skin is really absorbing. On the bonus side as my skin is rather sensitive I had no reaction at all and my skin felt fine the next day.

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.

I've been using these for about 12 months and find them perfect. They remove all of my makeup, including eye makeup. Unless I'm wearing VERY heavy makeup, I can get it all off with using just one wipe. They don't dry out my skin, and the wipes themselves are nice and moist.

I have been searching for a while for an effective cleanser so decided to try the Neutrogena wipes in between purchases. They are expensive for what you get so I wouldn't recommend using them on a regular basis in place of a cleanser but would use them if I was going away or on holiday. On opening the pack the wipes were not too dry which has happened to me previously and they had a lovely clean smell which was pleasant (very light). The wipes were effective but even though I wear make up lightly I still found myself using two to remove the make up properly, so went though them in a super quick time. Yes they were good, and they were effective but expensive and I probably would only use them if we were going away and I did not want to carry too much with me.

I've been using these wipes for over a month. The remove all traces of my makeup including waterproof mascara. I've found my skin is a lot clearer since cleansing my fCe at night. I've also had less breakouts. I love these and will keep using them!
