Would you buy this product again? DEFINITELY!!

Now THIS is one of my FAVORITE makeup removers. It removes makeup effortlessly and smells great! The wipes are quite durable and don't tear easily. The size of the sheet is perfect, and the remover, apart from not containing alcohol (which is GREAT!!) , is VERY good at taking everything off... even waterproof mascara and long wearing l/s. They are perfect for travelling because of the packaging. That being said, I think the cap of the packaging could be improved because if you don't seal it back tightly, the wipes will dry out. I've noticed that even when I do seal it properly, it can flip back off sometimes . Anyway, the product inside is what matters and I LOVE IT!!!!

Would you buy this product again? Perhaps

I'm not amazed by these any more than other face cleansing wipes. These have the traditional MAC skincare product smell, which I find rather off-putting. They also left my face feeling a bit greasy and filmy, not clean. I always felt I needed to wash my face again after using these. They also sting if any of the cleanser on the wipe gets into your eyes, which will happen when removing eye-makeup. Overall, they are ok, but they are more expensive than some other brands, and don't seem to do a drastically better job.

Would you buy this product again? Not sure.

These wipes are quick and easy to use and make an easy job of removing make up but the smell is disgusting, I hate it.
They also leave a greasy film on the face so you have to rinse with water after you've used them (doesn't bother me that much as I always rinse my face after I've used a wipe)
If MAC changed the smell these would be perfect.

Comments: I have wanted to buy these for so long but there was always something else I had to have. So on my recent trip to my local CCO they had the 100 pack so I finally invested. I always used these in store when I've tested stuff so new i liked them better then the Pond's ones I use, but man, when I brought them home and tested one out on my full face, I was amazed. One wipe took off everything, even every last drop of mascara and it left my face so freakin smooth and hydrated!!! and i love the smell.
these are by far the best makeup/cleanser wipes i've used and i will buy them forever!
i put makeup on, just so i can use these wipes!!
they are love!

I was very unimpressed by these. They left my face feeling funny and didnt really take much of the makeup off. I ended up having to rub off some shadow and using 2 whipes to take off my foundation (which i apply lightly) therefore, it didnt work for me.

Comments: I love them! The 2 downfalls are they are a little pricy and i sometimes have to double check that I closed the cap. Besides that they are great! They take off everything, including liquidlast liner which is usually a pain and i like the way they make your skin feel after you use them.

I LOVE these. When i tryed them at the store i knew i had to have them so i got the 100pack which is a WAY better deal for the money. They have a really nice smell to them and they mosturize your skin soo much. Plus they get off all of your makeup with just one wipe. The wipes almost feel like their cloth so their a really good quality.This saves me from buying alot of my expensive orgins cleanser.

Would you buy this product again? Nah.

These work really well as far as getting the surface layer of makeup, and take off eye makeup really well. I like the scent, it's nice. However, I went through them like crazy and I still didn't feel super clean. I don't like the packaging...I think for the price, they should include an artight box to house the wipes in.

I really like the Pond's Clean Sweep Towettes. The contain chamomille, vitamin e, and a white tea/green tea complex. They're super gentle on skin and they cost $5 bucks! Rite Aid, HOLLA!

General Comments on this product:
I Would not buy this product ever again. My skin is not the sensitive type or anything. At first this product was good it did its job but just recently I used the wipes and it BURNED my face!
my face felt like it was on fire! I ended up with red bumps all over my face. I am not allergic to anything, and yet this happened.
I am very dissatisfied with this product.

I used to use the Neutragena wipes, but they were pretty expensive. I had tried the Mac wipes, but thought they were too expensive and had read bad reviews. Well, I finally broke down and bought the 100 pack of Mac wipes and they were very reasonable and worked better than baby wipes and Neutragena wipes at getting all of the make up off! Okay, the scent is not fantastic and there is a dampness on my face for a while, but both go away and I am left with a very clean face. I love them and will definitely repurchase!

Would you buy this product again? No, but I'll tell you why.

I used to LOVE these things. They were so convenient, especially after a long night out. You could just wipe the makeup away in about 3 seconds, and that was it.

Then, I overheard someone say that when you wipe your face with wipes (any kind of wipes) it sort of pulls at your skin a little bit everytime. I mean, if you wear makeup irregularly, it should be no problem, but it shouldn't be used everyday or some crap like that. Well, after that I stopped using them.

But they were great. And the memories will always be there.

Would you buy this product again? No probably not.

General Comments on this product:
Whilst these wipes did work okay (only okay though they didn't seem to be damp enough and dried out quickly once removed from the packet). I really don't think they're great enough to justify their high cost. I can buy a packet of cleanser wipes of equal quality for less than half the price. I didn't really like the smell of the wipes and I also thought they were kind of drying. The wipes also stung my eyes quite a lot when I used them to remove eye makeup - I've also heard of other people having this same issue.
