Pond's Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes, $4.99

"These are extra thick and have a nubby texture, which makes them great for removing anything that's really stuck. I've used them to wipe away a face full of makeup after a photo shoot -- when there's no way cleanser is going to get the job done -- and I also use them on my dog's paws after we get back from the muddy park. It may sound ridiculous, but it's so much easier than giving her a bath." -- Dawn Davis, NYC Beauty Editor

love the cucumbers wipes. makes my skin nice and soft

I just discovered the Simple brand facial wipes. They don't dry out my already parched skin, which is an awesome plus in my book.

I normally get the Pond's brand. I love how all of them around or less than $10. I will look into to some of the other suggested ones. I go through makeup wipes like crazy.

new ones to try! although i have been obsessed with the aveno ultra calming ones :)

I tend to favor the Pond's and Neutrogena wipes--how did we ever live without them? L. A. Fresh is another interesting and effective brand.

by TheDivaRose Friday, March 8, 2013 at 05:48PM Report as inappropriate

The Neutrogena wipes are the best I've used.

by nursesuz77 Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 06:00PM Report as inappropriate

I have tried many of these listed, but I think Neutrogena's wipes are my favorite.

by HeathRene Friday, March 1, 2013 at 02:20PM Report as inappropriate

Yes To is a brand I will need to check out. tried looking here for some of their products but looks like it will have to be gotten online.

I use the Pond\'s Luminous Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes & think they\'re great.

by MicahL Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 09:22AM Report as inappropriate

I like to use products in many ways, and I love that some were listed. Some are more than I would spend, but there are sales, and I have to find out where some are sold.

I love the simple wipes They work well

by pbkup1 Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 01:19PM Report as inappropriate

Great list! If I wasn't already in love with the Simple wipes I would definitely try out some of the others.

by tallredamanda Friday, January 11, 2013 at 01:51PM Report as inappropriate

I use the Simple and it works pretty well. I might be trying out some of these other ones though.

by tulipsarebetter Friday, January 11, 2013 at 10:38AM Report as inappropriate

I like the simple cloths, the exfoliating ones work well too.

by amber.flute Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 07:22PM Report as inappropriate

I love Avena ulta calming wipes im shocked to not see them here. i really like the ponds and neutrogena as well

by rayshaviolet Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 03:04PM Report as inappropriate

great

by Nicole2814 Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 01:43PM Report as inappropriate

I keep these in my bedside drawer on those nights I don't feel like getting up!

by EricaF123 Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 12:43PM Report as inappropriate

The yes to cucumbers one is only ok, it sometimes irritates my skin though.

by Chris213 Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 07:31AM Report as inappropriate

I love Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit cleansing wipes! I use them to wipe off my make-up before I workout.

by MizzPink Monday, December 17, 2012 at 02:28PM Report as inappropriate

i have used most of these, i switch over

by aishak55 Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 11:30AM Report as inappropriate

I used to use various ponds ones. A citrus one and a lavender one, I believe. I\'ve recently switched over to say yes to cucumbers (after reading this review an several others)... I say yes! I recommended them to my sister who went out and bought some too :)

by MisSimOne2steps Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 01:32PM Report as inappropriate

i wish someone would make a face wipe that didn't dry out in the package

by LittleBunny Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 06:07PM Report as inappropriate

I used the Simple, Neutrogen and the Yes To Cumbers wipes. All are good, but I like the Yes To Cumber better. However, I like the idea of saving money and will give the baby wipes a try.

by mames Sunday, November 4, 2012 at 02:52PM Report as inappropriate

mostly I just use baby wipes. much easier and cheaper. it also work really well

by hazr_rayn_hashim Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 07:32PM Report as inappropriate

I may try Ponds for days when im too tired to wash my face.

by nicky22 Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 11:49AM Report as inappropriate

All you need to do all of these things is Pampers Sensitive baby wipes. Much cheaper and you can buy by the gross!

fantastic line of products dolls

by Nicole2814 Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 09:59PM Report as inappropriate

Simple has an amazing line of products.

Love this article because I'm always looking for a good wipe for my face to remove makeup. So I am going to pick one of these and try them. Thanks!!!!

by jbynum Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 02:29PM Report as inappropriate

i love face wipes! will have to add some of these to my stash =) and great ideas for multi-purpose use.

by jenstar313 Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at 11:57AM Report as inappropriate

I'll have to try these. So far baby wipes have been great for me

by venenumletalis Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 07:19PM Report as inappropriate

I agree Simple is my favorite too! The one side is just the cleansing cloth, the other is a bit exoliating. They are not harsh and smell good too!

by Only1KimmieD Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 09:30AM Report as inappropriate

Simple are my favorite. They smell good but not overpowering. They are very moist but not sticky. They remove every bit of makeup, which I can't say about several others I've tried. They do NOT break me out. They don't irritate my face.

by Nursetre Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 12:31PM Report as inappropriate

i dont really like face wipes because they are so expensive for only like 10-30 peices that can only be used once for their intended purpose. its also bad for the environment. I would only use them if i was going on some sort of trip where bringing my actual cleanser would be out of the question.

by Sohee Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 08:08PM Report as inappropriate

The Yes to Cucumbers ones are only ok.

by Chris213 Monday, October 22, 2012 at 06:44PM Report as inappropriate

I gotta try a couple of these, I don't really use wipes. Thanks for the list.

by engineergirl123 Monday, October 22, 2012 at 05:31PM Report as inappropriate

I use the regular Neutrogena wipes. They do a great job of removing makeup & leaving my face soft & clean. They also work well to clean my feet after I've been wearing flip flops. I will have to try the Simple wipes to see how they are.

by Feline44mom Monday, October 22, 2012 at 03:52PM Report as inappropriate

I always keep these wipes in the drawer near my bed, sometimes I feel to tired to get up.

by lilas Monday, October 22, 2012 at 03:26PM Report as inappropriate

I love the Simple wipes!
