Pond's Cleansing Towelettes - Original Clean Review

Since I work out in the middle of the day during the work week, I like to have facial cloth to use before my work out to remove makeup. I picked up the Ponds Cleansing Towelettes to keep in my gym bag.

It is important to me that before I start working out that my face feel clean. I am not as concerned with moisturizing before a work out because I sweat a lot, and I always do a very thorough cleaning post work out. But I have found that if I dont clean off the makeup before a work out I regret it later due to breakouts and melted makeup.

When I read the description of these cloths on the Ponds Site:

A mini-spa treatment each day.  No leading cleanser is better at lifting away make-up and removing impurities than these soft, textured cleansing cloths.  Infused with Chamomile, Vitamin E and Triple Tea Antioxidant Complex, they nourish, soothe and pamper, leaving skin perfectly clean and make-up free.  No rinsing necessary.

I though I found the answer to my facial challenge. I was quite wrong.

These cloths did have texture, a little too much. They were quite rough if you did not use a light touch. In addition they had a strong perfumey smell, one that I did not want to smell my entire work out. Finally they mention No rinsing necessary, and that is true, if you dont mind a film being left on your face. I do.

In short, these Ponds Cleansing Toweletts were too much of everything.
