According to Seansky, Neutrogena has a patented formula that ensures that the moisture in just one makeup remover cloth is enough to cleanse your entire face. Although you could always opt for a drugstore brand of makeup remover wipes, Seansky recommends Neutrogena because, sometimes, less is just more when it comes to leaving your skin feeling hydrated and fresh.
“This product will take off even the most stubborn of makeup and all the dirt and grime that comes with it, including stubborn mascara or lipstick that can stain and stick to your skin,” she said.
