Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes

50ct. 2 Pk. - 25 wipes each

Lot 1835U6325A

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Wow, if it's not one thing it's another. I don't think I've used a makeup wipes since I was in my 20s or 30s. People in the know have said for many many years that makeup wipes are not good at removing all the makeup residue and not good for your complexion. Thanks for the warning...

I use Equate (Walmart brand) Exfoliating Towellettes in the shower or at my sink with Cerave or Cetaphil cleanser,  so I dont mess up washcloths with makeup removal. I reuse them 2-3 times. Works great.

Yikes! Agree with @monicakm ....WHAT NEXT?! for heaven's sake. I use these every night...sigh....I'll have to check my lot number.

 

I can go search for an article on this....did they say what the problem with them was?

 

Thanks so much for the heads up @spabar.

Wow - what next is right.  I use them to remove eye makeup then follow with cleanser.

 

Thanks for the warning @spabar.

@amyb A Google search notes Bacterial Contamination. 

 

Also, the states affected were Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas.

I use these to wipe down my feet, before going to bed, after wearing sandals or going barefoot during the day. They are garbage for taking off make up, IMO---usually have to do a double cleanse if I use them--

@monicakm  I use Beekman wipes to remove makeup.

I also use Beekman wipes, as well as Purity wipes.  I've never had a problem with either brand.

 

I used to use Neutrogena years ago.
