I have super sensitive skin and eyes. Every time I took off my eye make up & sometimes my face make-up too my eyes would get really red for several hours. Suddenly, several hours turned into several days and I ended up in my eye doctors office. We went through my routine, being in IT I'm a troubleshooter by nature so I'd already begun this process. All my hypoallergenic make-up was the same. When I'm not traveling for work to save disposables, I use a set of white cotton organic washcloths that are only for me - the organic wasn't on purpose, the white was so I could ensure I could get the make-up out. I had been traveling for an extended period and using non organic cotton pads. My eye doctor told me of all the pesticides sprayed onto cotton and more chemicals used to create the cotton pads. He gave me a steroid to help clear up the irritation & suggested that I travel with my washcloths (not a completely sanitary solution since it never got to dry) Somehow, I was looking for something on Amazon for my college kid & came across these. I have been buying them for 2 years now & using them without a single irritation or problem. I highly reccomend!
