"I've never liked their products. They're basic and they don't evolve with the times. [...] The brand isn't interested in evolving with new science within skincare. Nobody really uses their wipes."

"They also tend to be loaded with preservatives and fragrance to stay shelf stable, which is the last thing you want sitting on your skin all night. Are they better than nothing in a pinch on a night you're completely exhausted? Sure, as an emergency backup go for it. But as your everyday cleanse, I would skip them and use an actual cleanser or balm or oil followed by a regular water based cleanser, because your skin will thank you if you actually clean it and rinse everything off."

"I love the fragrance-free ones. However, the ones with fragrance are horrible. [...] The performance is just a different color package, so [...] there's not anything remarkable about this. But I'll tell you where these come in handy: some mascaras fleck all over the place when you're putting them on and make a mess, no matter the application technique, and these are really handy for getting that stuff off. Currently, they have these for $19.99."

"They have the makeup remover wipes, which I used to sneer at these all the time until I started experimenting with eyeliner and I realized, oh wow, they're actually really helpful for making getting rid of mistakes. I just don't consider these skin care. [...] I mean, they don't even really market themselves that way, right? They market themselves to remove makeup, but like for removing your makeup at the end of the day, this is not going to cut it."

"They gave some of their makeup remover wipes which these work really well to quick clean your makeup brush or if you mess up your makeup. I use these but I don't use them to actively clean my face because I find that makeup wipes are not the best approach for that."

"Neutrogena makeup remover wipes [...] really have a strong following, but I've tested out their wipes before and I just don't find that they work."

"If you're really in a pinch, a makeup removing wipe is good enough before you crash and go to bed for the evening. Neutrogena makes some great makeup removing wipes."

"These are really nice. [...] I used to just keep a pack of these on my night stand so I'd be in bed and I could still at least feel like I was removing the bulk of it. That's one of the worst things you can do for your skin is not removing your makeup and sunscreen because it gets in your pores, it's not good. So even if you don't feel good, that's the best thing you can do, is if you do nothing else do that."

"These are nice because I travel a little bit from time to time. [...] I just use these at night and the nice thing is the towelettes are made out of plants so they're compostable. When I travel I don't like bring oil cleanser because I've had it happen more often than not where it ends up leaking everywhere so I pick these up and I just carry these with me and I just use them at night to remove my makeup and then I use a general second step cleanser and then I'm good to go."

"Neutrogena is also good, but mine is missing a stopper, and it's amazing how much of a difference that makes. I feel like I get a great deal on Neutrogena, but then I spill half the bottle."

"For eye makeup which tends to have [...] a lot of sweat proof, crease proof type makeup, [...] I like to use wipes that have some oil in it. The Neutrogena makeup removing wipes do have oil that helps you break makeup down faster."

"No, they're so bad. The whole thing about makeup wipes is that they're not eco-friendly, they're really just pushing makeup and dirt deeper into your pores or across your face unless you're doing something like a legit double cleanse where you're using some sort of an oil cleanser or micellar cleanser and then removing that with some sort of a treatment cleanser."

Testing Makeup Wipes vs Double Cleansing Under a UV Light - the Truth about Makeup Wipes!

"When I tested them with a UV light, the residue was all around the edges of my face, especially my eyes, and it's like the makeup wasn't removed from inside my pores. The double cleanse was much better at actually getting everything off."

Skincare I Loved as a Beauty Guru but HATE as a Skinfluencer

"I will admit they are probably one of the most effective makeup wipes out there but are there ingredients any good no. Are they irritating to the skin absolutely. Are they biodegradable no. Are they chock full of fragrance like you don't even remove the makeup you're just wiping residue around your face. Why. In the words of Caroline Hirans, makeup wipes are for festivals fannies and emergencies not for regular use but oh did I use them regularly."
