Advantages: Clense well, cheap

Disadvantages: Pad can slip off, don't exfoliate

I hate liquid face washes, it seems so much effort and fuss compared to using face wipes to get rid of make up. With a gel face wash I always end up with loads of it in my hair too messing up my fringe so it dries funny!

So I get most of my make up off with cleaning wipes now but they leave my face feeling greasy so I still need to use water to get rid of that horrible feel.

I've seen Neautrgena cleaning pads advertised but I was not about to pay £5 to £6 for a box, but then while browsing the Poundshop I found these!

PACKAGING
The pads come in a smallish box with a plastic bag holding the pads together. You can of course dispose of the plastic now. The box has a really cute lid which fastens nicely to keep them all in. I'm told these last 12months and not to flush them down the toilet.

The packaging is quite nice, clearly shows what the product is and is a night blue colour. Although slightly annoying there is too much French all over the box.
You get 22 pads per box which by my maths is just over 4.5p per use. Good value I'd say.

THE PADS
The pads feel sticky and not very nice to touch when they arent wet, one side is covered in wavey lines and the other lines and dots. One side is appently supposed to exfoliate but it doesn't. I like good, scratchy exfoliators and this certainly isnt that.

I run one under the tap and rub round my face. You slip your fingers between the two sides but the pad slides off quite easily. It lathers up well and smells quite nice. Just as a warning it hurts like hell if you get the foam in your eyes so try to avoid that!
You can see the pad change colour quickly as it takes off your make up, especially mascara and foundation. My skin feels clean and soft after using and they don't dry my skin out which always a plus!

Overall these are really nice convenient pads to use! They are really good value and really help get rid of every scrap of make up. Highly recommended.

Summary: Highly recommened
