Not good at removing makeup.
MAYBE if you only wear a little concealer and a bit of eyeliner, you could get away with using these wipes. But they don't do a very good job at removing a normal amount makeup. I use two on my face to get off my foundation and eye makeup, and I still don't think it gets my face as clean as it should. They do claim that they will both clean and remove makeup, but I don't know that either of those ...read morethings are done sufficiently. Also, it says that the Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes are good for sensitive skin, but I'd be wary of using them on sensitive skin. The texture of the cloths seem soft enough, and are thick enough to not feel flimsy. My skin isn't sensitive at all, but I did find these were a little irritating on my face and stung just a bit. The price is on par with other drugstore makeup wipes (six bucks for a thirty pack). The packaging is fairly cute, and I like that it has the plastic lid insert in the baggie that lets you snap the lid closed, as opposed to resealing the package with a sticker label. I think this really helped them from drying out prematurely. I have mixed feelings on the scent... Given that this brand promotes how "natural" it is, I expected a faint, natural, realistic cucumber smell. But the scent is actually quite strong and a little artificial smelling (they do add fragrance). I also think it's cool that these wipes are biodegradable!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Decent
I give these the same rating as the Yes to Blueberries "brightening" cleansing wipes. Thankfully, these don't make the false promise of brightening your skin or anything like that. I also like the smell of these much better than the Yes to Blueberries because it is lighter and doesn't linger as long. These wipes are very soft and contain plenty of moisture so they won't dry out by the time you ...read moreare almost done with your pack. Just as with almost all makeup wipes, these are not the best at completely removing makeup, especially if you wear a lot of it. These are, however, a good first shot. On an extremely lazy night, you could probably get away with a thorough wipe with these and then a toner, but that would be if you are dead tired or drunk (and don't have very problematic skin). We've ALL had those nights. An oil or balm cleanser, in my experience, has been the best thing for thoroughly removing makeup, but there are nights that you just don't care enough to bother with all that. Still, I would follow up your makeup wipe with an actual cleanser of some sort. A package of thirty wipes costs $5.99, but I was able to buy these on sale and use an additional coupon, making them much cheaper. I doubt I would buy these again for full price. They just aren't special enough for me to be loyal to them.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Gentle yet effective
I am a BIG fan of the brand YES TO, they are a brand full of paraben free shampoos, conditioners, body butters, and daily SPF Skincare with organic carrot, cucumbers, and tomato! I own a billion and one of their products but today I wanted to do a quick review of the YES To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Towelettes, which retail for abut $6 for a pack of 30 wipes. These wipes are super gentle on the s...read morekin which is why I love them! I have a few sensitive area on my skin and I am so happy to say that these wipes did not irritate me at all. They do an amazing job at removing makeup, even the toughest mascara comes of with these wipes. What I also love about the YES To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Towelettes is that it does not leave a sticky feeling behind, likes a few other wipes that I've tried! I also have a few red spots/irritated spots on my face and what I love about these wipes is that they contain cucumbers and aloe vera which are amazing ingredients; for anyone who has had any skin irritation or even sunburn then you know how soothing and refreshing those two ingredients can be on the skin! These wipes not only remove makeup, but they remove any dirt, shine, oils from your face which is why they feel so refreshing during the removal process and afterwards! What are the Key Ingredients: Aloe vera (moisturizes); cucumber extract (mild astringent that exfoliates and depuffs); Dead Sea mineral salts (exfoliate and cleanse); green tea extract (astringent and antioxidant). PROS: Gentle yet effective in removing makeup, dirt, and oils Soothing and gentle to the skin Inexpensive/Drugstore/Affordable Smells amazing (like fresh cucumbers) CONS: None These wipes are fairly large which means that 1 wipe will allow you to remove a full face of makeup! I've also used these wipes anytime I feel like my face (without makeup on) is oily (usually after a run or swim) because I find that the wipes refresh my face really well. It is no surprise that the YES To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Towelettes won Allure Magazine's Best of Beauty Award in 2011! If you want to try these towelettes they are very affordable and I highly recommend them to anyone regardless of your skin type! These can be purchased at all local drugstores as well as only through the Yes To website.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Not the best
I was disappointed with these towelettes. They are a bit on the expensive side. They do not completely remove makeup and my face still feels a bit oily after cleaning my face with these. The big deal breaker for me was the high amount of fragrance in these. It did not smell overpowering, but the wipes made my face sting and caused redness and irritation. Natural or not, fragrance is not good for your skin-ask your dermatologist.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Yes To Cucumbers
This line of products came highly recommended to me. The Blueberries version of these cloths do NOT cut it. This particular version is slightly better. One, they're good for sensitive skin. The downside is that they leave make-up residue behind and the only thing that gets all of it off my face is using my Clarisonic before bed. The first time I used these I really thought they'd gotten everythi...read moreng off. At that point, I was beat, so I called it a day. The next morning I woke up and there was quite a bit of mascara and liner leftover, and that was after using two cloths. Now I know better. Will I buy these again? I'm not sure, but I do like to use one if I'm too tired to break out the Clarisonic and haven't worn a stitch of make-up that day. That's the only time I feel these perform as they should and clean well.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not All That Good...Especially for The Price
I was extremely unimpressed by these towelettes. The texture of the cloth is, in my opinion, cheaply made. The towelette slips around when you try to use it on your face and doesn't remove eye makeup well, at least without a lot of rubbing of the eye area. There are other much more well made towelettes made by othe brands for the same price.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Good for throughout the day quick wipe
I bought the whole line fo Yes to CC and Blueberries with a discount. Don't expect to just use these by itself and expect it to work. Not likely, but on that note, It's great during a cold winter and quick wipe throughout the day. I went to Aspen and it was snowing last week. So I just kept these throughout the day to use for a quick wipe before reapplying my Paula's choice hydrating mask. I wa...read mores stressed and studying so I wiped my face after the several smokes of cigarette I decided to torcher myself with. It's good if you're not wearing makeup and want a more organic products instead of olay or ponds. It cools my face down, but if you're wearing makeup, this is not a good cleanse all at the end of the day. Basically you have to have nothing on your face and just want a cool refreshing wipe every few hours or so to revive your skin in the harsh winters out and about.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Love
These are perfect for cleansing gently because I'm on an acne treatment, I don't want to use a face wash. They leave my skin feeling kinda dry bit nothing unmanageable. Defiantly will be buying againThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Average
I don't believe these remove makeup better than some brands. However, I do love the fresh smell of the cucumber and I use both sides. They do give a very refreshing feeling. All of my foundation does not come off with just the use of one side. Mascara I need to use makeup remover and cotton pads because of the waterproof I use.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Blah
I bought it once. It was okay I guess. I don't think it helped my skin in any sort of way. I was just really lazy/tired for a week and wanted a quick fix. My skin requires more attention and decided to break out around my lower chin area once I gave these a go. I don't think they caused the acne I just don't think it helped prevent anything at all.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 4 people said helpful
