facial wipes showdown!

the first thing i want to do when i get home from a long day is take off my makeup. over the past several months i've tried out several facial wipes in order to figure out which one removes the most dirt, oil, and makeup and leaves my skin feeling the cleanest.
the following products were tested:
NEUTROGENA!!
these wipes were by far the most moist. one wipe took off every bit of my makeup and i wear a lot of it. they are soothing and are not drying. the wipes are very soft, but sturdy and they do not have a strong smell! a total winner in my book!

do you use facial cleansing wipes?

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! Neutrogena is the best hands down! They are the most moist and take off the most makeup. I've tried elf, because they were cheap, and they were so dry. Not worth it! Aveeno is pretty good. I got some from klout, but I still am going to stay with Neutrogena.

I love Ponds! They have a citrusy "wake up" kind and a lavender night-time kind that I used to use. I need to get some more. They smell really good and stay pretty moist. The surface has these little beads on them. I'm not sure how well they remove makeup since I don't wear a lot, but they are my favorite :)

My favorite are Ponds, the nighttime ones. The only thing I dont like is the packaging bc it just has the sticky flap to open/close & it ends up not sticking. I tried the CVS brand last week & took them right back, they burned my eyes. I should give neutrogena a shot next time.

I use & love the Neutrogena wipes. I stumbled upon them for a vacation and have now started using them daily before using my Clarisonic.

I use the Kirkland brand from Costco. They are cheap and work pretty well. I also like the Ponds lavender ones.

I love your reviews!!! I haven't tried facial wipes in ages but have been thinking about it! Now I know which to go with :)

LOVE the Neutrogena wipes!! Try Neutrogena's Grapefruit Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes -- they're seriously great! I did a post on them a little while back if you want some more info!

Love this post! If I can splurge on this type of product, I like to pick up the ones Josie Maran makes called Bear Naked Wipes -a portion of sales help a polar bear initiative which is cool and they work really well. My main staple, though, is definitely the Neutrogena brand!

Love Neutrogena! I'm pinning this so I remember. :)

I love them! I've started buying the store brand (usually Target) and it's the same thing as the Neutrogena ones.

I usually love these Garnier wipes

But I actually just tried the Neutrogena wipes a couple of weeks ago when I went on vacation (they had a small pack in the trial size section). Neither brand made my skin dry which is something I can't stand.

Right now I'm using Biore wipes..but I just ordered some Mary Kay ones. Neutrogena will be next on my list!

Franziska said...

yessss! I will never ever use a different make up remover and I'm so glad when other people see the magic :D

Samantha said...

Yes! I'm a wipe person...except that I use Olay Regenerist wipes. You're never too young to start using the age rewind stuff, and I can tell a difference in my face if I try to use something else that's not an age rewind product.

I love using wipes though to clean my face. My Mom was a wash rag and Noxzema person...I hate the inconvenience of a wash rag.

Casey said...

Good to know! I use the Yes to Cucumber version of the wipes. I love the light smell, and they were awesome when we were in Hawaii and were going in and out of the ocean. They were so refreshing. I'll try the neutrogena ones once I run out!

Kristine said...

Definitely with ya on the Neutrogena... or however you spell it. I'm really not in the mood to spell things correctly anyways :)

Bri Buzali said...

I love love love the neutrogena wipes, I'm also a fan of the up & up target brand wipes!

Meg O. said...

Only time I use wipes is when I travel. Otherwise I'm an olive oil girl to the core. I will have to keep those Neutrogena ones in mind!

Chris said...

I use the up&up facial wipes and love it!

Michelle @ The Vintage Apple said...

I'm a Neutragena snob. And proud of it. It's my favorite wipe ever!

Sarah @ Scissors and a Whisk said...

Yuuup I use the same ones! I've been using for MONTHS and totally love 'em.

Ocean Dreams said...

Wipes are AMAZING. Love them. I love Neutrogena, but my face is SO sensitive I've recently switched over to Yes to Cucumber. But all are amazing! So glad you found one that you love.

Sending you an e-mail about an exciting opportunity. Let me know your thoughts when you get a chance, k? Thanks love xoxo.

Plus, having a big giveaway on my blog if you have time to stop by!

I need to try the Neutrogena. I use some Pond's that I really really liked, but then I found the elf ones. I like the elf, but they're nowhere near as moist as the Pond's. I bought two packs, and I haven't decided if I'll switch back when I run out. Maybe I'll buy the Neutrogena.

Sarah O said...

What a great post! I love when people personally try out products. I like facial wipes, especially when I travel, they make life so easy.
