I picked this up from GoW for US$10.65 sometime back last year, thinking that it would come in handy for trips. But because I have not been travelling much lately, and thinking it may dry up if unused for a long time, I decided to use it on my daily evenings at home, after work.

These were the worst cleansing pads I ever come across. Not that I have much experiences with cleansing pads, but I usually use cleansing wipes or make-up remover wipes for travels and this tub of cleansing pads are just terrible on the skin.

All 50pads are stacked together in the tub as shown above, so you have to peel one by one if you want to use it. Moist, it does a good cleansing job on the skin, removing my face make-up effortlessly, I don't use it for my eye area though.

The texture of the pads are just terrible. Coarse, scratchy and painful. I tried to use it in the most gentle manner ever, that I am almost afraid that my make-up gunk would not come off. But it still hurts. While it did not cause my skin to peel or cause any redness, but it hurts and made my skin abit raw. Thats the scary part.

I don't know how anyone could use such terrible and horrible cleansing pads. I have given the pads so many chances that I decided finally that its not worth it to hurt my skin on such cheap cleansing pads. It is definitely going to the bin.
