Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterHexylene Glycol is a surfactant. Glycols are a class of alcohols. Hexylene Glycol is a surfactant and emulsifier.
As a surfactant, Hexylene Glycol helps gather dirt and oil on your skin to be washed away.
As an emulsifier, Hexylene Glycol helps keep water and oil together. This prevents them from separating in a product. Hexylene Glycol also thins out the texture of a product by lessening viscosity.
Hexylene Glycol has a small molecular weight.

1) Packaging does not allow one wipe at a time to come out. 2) BURNS. Upset skin for DAYS. I used ONCE to remove makeup a week ago and the skin around my eyes are still extremely sensitive and burns when any other product is applied. Other reviews on Clinique's website have said the same. Do NOT buy.

Terrible!
It removes makeup but at what cost?! My skin was so red and stung after using these. Gave 1 star because I can't give 0.
I used these a night when I was feeling lazy and payed the price the following day with dry, irritated skin.
