made my skin raw and did not remove make up [SEP] these don t feel at all like microfiber cloths more like really soft thin fuzzy blankets you re supposed to wash them in the laundry machine then after they dry you wet them before you use them so they can work i wear a lot of liquid lipsticks mascara brow pomade and other products that can be difficult to remove i ve never used the on brand version of this makeup remover towel so i can t compare i followed all the instructions and these just plain didn t work it made my skin feel raw from rubbing but somehow it grabbed none of the makeup from my face except it smeared my foundation around i m very disappointed with these towels they do not work gently they do not remove even the most basic makeup foundation without a ton of painful rubbing i do not recommend using these
