Pond's Original All Day Clean Towelettes
Cleansing cloths
- On-the-go cleansing
- Alcohol-free
- Soothing chamomile
- No rinsing required
- Requires multiple wipes for adequate cleaning
- Leaves residue on skin
Reviewers say that cleansing cloths like Pond's Original All Day Clean Towelettes (formerly Pond's Clean Sweep Original Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes) are a convenient way to clean your face and remove makeup when you're on the go. They come in a resealable package that fits easily in a purse or luggage. While they're a great option for when you're short on time, experts say they're not a replacement for a standard facial cleanser. They just don't clean as deeply and several users say they leave a residue on the skin (although that can be rinsed off). Reviewers say Purpose Gentle Facial Wash (*Est. $6 for 6 oz.) is a gentle but effective facial cleanser for your day-to-day needs. Pond's Towelettes come in 5-, 15-, 30- and 75-count containers.
