Love these!
These are exactly what I was looking for! I've used witch hazel before, but it was always out of the container with a seperate cotton pad. I think these are superior not only because they're super convenient, but the pre-soaked pads are also nicely waffle textured so it really feels like it cleans your skin more thoroughly. That's not to say they are too rough though, the formula is extremely gentle and soothing.<br /><br />I have oily skin (very oily unfortunately) so I use toner or facial wipes many times a day to freshen my skin and keep pores clean. Therefore it's easy to over-dry my combo skin or, conversely, if the product is moisturizing it can sometimes break me out. I'm also in my 30's now, so I don't want anything too harsh. These pads are the perfect balance. They don't dry me out in the least. My skin is left super soft, soothed and yet it feels very fresh and cleansed at the same time. These also don't leave a film like some other witch hazel products I've tried.<br /><br />As anyone who has used witch hazel before knows, it doesn't have the most lovely of odors, but it's certainly nothing intense or intolerable and it fades very quickly. It's also nice knowing that there aren't any unnecessary additives or scents. You are left with nothing but clean, fresh, soft skin.<br /><br />I also think it's a great value for the number of pads/jars you get... and they don't skimp on product either... the pads are very heavily soaked in the solution which is exactly how I like this kind of product. Go ahead and give them a try... I think you'll probably love them too!<br /><br />UPDATE: I've noticed my skin actually stays considerably less oily longer after each time I use these, more so than with other products of this type I've tried. Granted it doesn't stay perfectly matte, but it's certainly not the mirror that it usually becomes after an hour or so, which for me is impressive. I can only assume this is due to the fact that although it cleanses well, it doesn't strip your skin and dry it out causing it to respond by becoming more oily again. So this is a great option for my fellow oily/combo skin sufferers! PS -- I feel your pain.  ;)
