Skin Sensitivity

Pros:

Cons:

• "You will definitely need to love lavender in order to use these."
• "They smell of petroleum product."

Value and Convenience

Pros:

• "Very reasonably priced compared to a similar name brand product at the Big Box store."
• "They are a lot cheaper than the name brand ones you purchase at the store."
• "With prime delivery — well, I don’t think I’ll be buying makeup removers at the Korean store anymore!"

Cons:

• "Slightly over-priced for what they are, compared to other brands and stores."
• "These are super thin and have barely any moisture to them!"
• "Not as large or damp with remover as the name brand or big box stores off brand wipes. Small size means that you have to use more wipes."
• "I got these thinking they would be like the equate brand I get at Walmart. Having purple on the package is about all they share in common."
• "I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but need to use 2 cloths to get it all off."
• "Not worth the price difference, go with the brand name."
• "These were a little cheaper than the Neutrogena ones so I thought I'd give them a try. They are smaller and thinner."
