My first product review! - yes to cucumbers

I have been using Yes To Cucumbers hypoallergenic facial towelettes for about a week now and I must say they smell amazing! The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was the smell of fresh cucumber. There are multiple things I have found awesome about these but at the same time there are a few downsides to them.

These are claimed to:
1.sooth skin
2.contain aloe Vera
3.cleanse
4.remove makeup
5.contain 98% natural product
6.nourish skin

To start with the good things aside from the amazing smell I noticed they are very large in size. Since I don't usually wear a lot of face makeup I don't use a whole towel. I rip one in half and put the other half back in the package. I use it to take off what makeup I have on and clean my face as well. It removes most makeup I have on and does a good job cleaning my face. Some products I have used have cause acne and I haven't noticed a large amount while using these. To me one of the best things about this product is the packaging. I love the snap close lid! With other wipes I have used they have sticky peel back tops and after a while it stops sticking and lets the wipes dry out.

Unfortunately I have noticed some qualities I don't like in this product. After i use them it stings a small amount but mostly around my eyes where i removed the makeup. After rubbing around my eyes the skin can get a little bit raw for a few seconds and it will start to sting. The stinging is not that bad and I have noticed this in a lot of other really good products as well. It is just a downside that this has. The only other downside I have noticed is it doesn't remove my water proof mascara as well as I would like it to.

Overall I believe that this is a good product and I will keep using it but since I use waterproof mascara often I haven't decided if I would repurchase it because there is another product which I use that removes it better.
