POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelettes Review And Giveaway {Closed}

Contest Closed

A few weeks ago, I was asked to review the new POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelettes. I was sent the Original Clean Formula to test out. I was a little worried about testing them on myself because I have very sensitive skin and psoriasis around my hairline and on certain areas of my face, but it didn’t turn out all that badly.

However, I think the Age Defying version would have worked much better for me, as the Original Clean was a wee bit too drying. Or better yet, a formula made especially for sensitive skin. Unfortunately for moi, POND’S does not have a sensitive version available at this time.

Product details:

There are three formulations of POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelletes, Original Clean, Age Defying and Micro Dermabrasion. Unless you have extremely sensitive skin like me, I think you will be able to find a version that works well for you.

POND’S believes in their product so much, that they have instated a POND’S Superior Clean… Guaranteed! “warranty” that will reimburse you if POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelettes do not perform as promised. So what do you have to lose?

Go here for a $1.50 off coupon or enter my contest below for a free 30-count package of POND’S Wet Cleansing Towellettes ~ Original Clean Formula.

I did find some other interesting and unusual uses for the towelletes {Would you expect anything less from me?}…

I used them to clean my daughter’s face and legs when I couldn’t find the wipes {Kids get dirt in weird places sometimes} and they worked quite nicely! They did not irritate her at all, as so many other soaps do.

One day, we were running late for a family gathering, and noticed I seemed a wee bit, uh, ripe, shall we say? So I used the POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelettes to take a quick “sponge bath” and it worked very well. LOL I smelled fresh as a daisy when I jumped in that pool! I have also used them to clean The Diva’s hands, get some strange stain out of her shirt and clean her leather sandals. I like things that are multitaskers.

My review…

Pros:

Convenient
Easy to use
Pleasant scent
Cleanses well

Cons:

The Original Clean Formula was a bit drying on my skin
The resealable package did not stay sealed well once the product was less than half full, so the towelettes dried out
POND’s needs to come out with a formulation for sensitive skin.

Overall, I would recommend this product to everyone. Just make sure you get the correct formulation for your particular skin type. POND’S has been around forever {My Mom used to use the cream to remove her make-up} and is a widely trusted brand. The website states that POND’S Wet Cleansing Towelettes remove 40% more dirt and make-up than Olay’s towelettes, according to a clinical study conducted in February, 2009.

The Contest:

POND’S has given me a package of their Original Clean Wet Cleansing Towelettes to give away to one lucky reader. Woo Hoo!
