Not effective at removing makeup but a good fresher upper [SEP] I'm a flight attendant and love using makeup wipes on the road as it's so much easier than carting around lotions and potions.  Sadly the wipes I got were quite dry and as such really didn't do much to remove my makeup.  I had to use about five to make a dent in it and I really don't wear too much makeup other than a bit of concealer and CC cream.  That said they don't have any sort of strong scent and didn't cause any irritation.  I'd use them to freshen up my skin but I'll to pass on using them as a makeup wipe. Note: if you are using them to remove makeup it does say to rinse your skin with water afterwards.
