I was so skeptical that a cute little rectangle of fabric - luxuriously soft, velvety fabric - would remove my 3-coat mascara application with just hot water and a bit of gentle rubbing. BUT IT DID! I'm super impressed by these little make-up remover cloths. I first tried one with a full face of makeup, and they are a bit too small for that purpose, but they did remove nearly all of my mascara. I had a little smudge under the eye afterwards, but I think I might just not have gone back over that area well enough.
My goal over the last few years has been to eliminate as many single-use items - especially plastics - that I can. I had replaced disposable cotton face pads for eye make-up remover with washable bamboo ones, but they irritated the skin of my eyes after a few days in a row and were a bit of a pain to wash, honestly. I also had to use an eye make-up remover, and my favorite one comes in a plastic bottle. So I wanted to try these cloths with water in an effort to eliminate one more product with plastic from my life and also the hassle of cleaning white reusable face pads each week. (One can imagine - they aren't white anymore! I bought the black make-up eraser cloths, so they won't show!)
I always wash my face with cleanser after removing eye make-up, so these are the perfect size and shape for that function. When I used one to start taking make-up off of my full face, I did find these to be too small for that purpose. I was able to rotate the cloth around, but once you've used one area, it really won't do as well to try to re-use it. The whole surface is one-time-only use and then wash. Since I only wear a full face of make-up usually once/week, I probably can get away with using two clothes that day, and one for each day where I wear only mascara. YMMV, but I recommend trying the larger (original) size if your goal is to remove a full face of make-up each time.
Super soft, fragrance free, no cleanser needed, and absolutely effective - what more can I ask for??
Reduced air and/or water in the product or packaging for more efficient transportation.
