Not the makeup remover I expected but great on my sunburn!
This product was not what I was expecting it to be but worked out well. If you are looking for a sponge or product to remove your makeup with just water, this is NOT it. If you are looking for something gentle to use on your skin that leaves it feeling FRESH then this might be what you are looking for. I attempted removing my make up with just the sponge and water and it left a goopy mess. HOWEVER I LOVE this for washing my clean face in the mornings before I apply makeup or for washing my makeup free face after a day of chores. It is very gentle but still enough to remove the dirt from the day or any small spots of dry skin. For my heavier exfoliation I still reach for my Clarisonic, but this sponge and the lack of harsh cleansers gives my face a nice break and has helped with the healing of bad breakouts.<br /><br />The thing I liked most about this sponge however was how gentle it was on my SUNBURN and the peeling that had started. It got rid of the peeling spots but did so in such a gentle manner that it stopped the peeling from getting worse.<br /><br />My skin feels clean, smooth and healthy after using it this sponge. It does work well with a mild cleanser if you prefer.<br /><br />It increases in size quite a bit once it is wet all the way through. About six inches in length 3 inches width and a half inch thick when fully dampened. It feels a bit slimy or slick in your hand but is worth it for how gentle it is. It seems starchy. It is very soft and squishy when wet not at all hard or stiff (although when it arrives new and dry it will be). I did not experience any weird smell that I have seen in the other reviews. I am grateful the opportunity came up for me to try this product at a discounted price in return for my honest review.<br /><br />PROS - Gentle on your skin even sunburns, skin feels good after use, helps to diminish breakouts, can be used with or without cleanser, string to store it hanging so it does not soak up germs<br /><br />CONS - Does not remove makeup with just water
