After the widely successful cleansing lotion, I was keen to try out their cleansing sheets, afterall, its a handy product for travels and I do travel a few times per year, either for work or for leisure. I love travelling. Who doesn't, right? It breaks the mundane routine of everyday life.
I picked this up for 210yen ($3.31) in Japan whereas its retailing for $4.95 in Watsons Singapore. Relatively cheaper but not by alot.

Its actually difficult for me to pick up products in Japan, because I have a poor memory and I cannot remember the names and their prices and do not want to risk buying a wrong product. For some drugstore products like Haba Labo and Juju available in both Watsons Singapore and Japan drugstores, the packaging seems different and I cannot differentiate between a cleanser, lotion or moisturiser in Japanese language, so I did not get them.
Instead I picked up this pack of cleansing sheets and thankfully, I did not buy more because unlike the lotion, I do not really like their cleansing sheets.

It comes in a pack of 3 sachets in each pack, with 2 small cotton square pads (6.5cm by 6.5cm) in each sachet, which made it a total of 6 cotton pads for usage. However, because each sachet is not sealable, either you have to use up both pads once sachet is torn or keep the remaining pad in a ziplock bag to prevent drying out. Urgh. I hate such inconvenience and usually used up 2 pads in a row, 1 for the face and 1 for the eyes, just right for me. However, that also meant that each pack only can last me for 3 times of usages. 50cents per small square pad. Still reasonable cost, I would say.

The first time I used it, it stings my eyes real badly, leaving my eyes red and raw. The sheets are heavily soaked in essence so when I tried to remove my eye make-up, the liquid got into my eyes. I wouldn't recommend those with sensitive eyes to use these sheets to cleanse the eye make-up. How can cleansing sheets be so difficult to manage?
The face make-up are relatively easy to clear off with just 1 sheet, used on both sides. That itself is highly commendable. Its non-sticky and my skin does not feel tight or dry after each use.
Touted to be 100% oil-free, fragrance free, colouring free, paraben-free and alcohol free, I wish that I can say I love this cleansing sheets but sadly, no. I would not get it again.
I do not fancy the thought of bringing cleansing sheets for the face and a separate eye make-up remover for my travels. And it hurts the eyes real bad. The dripping lotion from the sheets can be quite a mess too.
