6/6 Update. I returned the box today. After using them for a short while, I realized they made my eyes burn. I looked at reviews online and most people agree with me. They messed with something that everyone seemed to love and got it wrong. Did they not test them on women? Back to the drawing board. They are called something different and have been *reformulated* so I will report back after I use one to see if I still like them. $13.99 for 180 towelettes.  I used one from the 15 travel pack last night. Here are my thoughts: The packaging is different: the package isn't as pliable and the hole to remove the towelette is smaller. The towelette itself is the same size but much thicker. The scent is a little different but okay. Overall I like the product and will continue to use it.

I hope that they are still good. I like them and not a fan of many of the other brands. Looking forward to your review.

YES! New formula! New size! New price! Whatever I am not a fan of the comparable brand. Any of them actually. Well specifically Neutrogena. I was expecting better from the brand names. :shrug: Keep us posted  |

I just looked online and they are not showing up yet. I saw this after I shopped this morning so no idea if they are in our store. I still have some and got a pack of another brand not long ago that I am now working on using up they are tiny and not a fan of the scent. I'm hoping that by the time I am ready for more my store will have these and the Peas will say yay or nay on them before I try them.

I go to Costco at least once, often twice, a week so I check every.single.time. This morning there was a checkout lane that had no one in it so I almost went straight there but something told me to keep to my routine of checking. I was shocked when I saw them! They didn't even have the price sign up yet so I assume they just got them in. I, too, noticed they aren't online yet. |

I’ve not heard about these. What makes them so great? I use them to cleanse my face at the end of the day. I don't wear foundation only moisturizer and a bit of concealer under the eyes and mascara so don't need to use soap and water. They are convenient and easy to use. |

I love the idea of using these to wash my face at night instead of the full soap-and-water routine. What section are they in at Costco? By the pharmacy?

I just got home from Costco. No Kirkland facial wipes in my store. However, the Neutrogena price sign has an * next to the price. As we all know, that means the Neutrogena wipes are on their way out. Hopefully that also means the Kirkland will soon be in stock!

Guess I am not that picky about the wipes.. I buy them there and other places, most of them seem pretty much the same. I didn't even know Costco didn't have them for awhile. I think I am still using the same ones since the last time I bought them. There has only been one or two that I definitely didn't like but pretty much they all seem the same. I also use the same one a couple of times since I only use like a quarter of one unless I am wearing a ton of makeup.

They messed with something that everyone seemed to love and got it wrong. Did they not test them on women? Back to the drawing board.

They were advertised in the last Costco magazine and I figured I would try them when I run out. I guess not. Why do they mess with something that works? |

Are they actually giving the new ones 5stars or were those people ones that loved the original ones I wonder. |

Are they actually giving the new ones 5stars or were those people ones that loved the original ones I wonder. They are all within a few months old. BUT, I noticed one woman said she loves them but is sorry her Costco doesn't carry them any longer. I'm betting she's talking about the old ones. And one woman specifically said they don't sting/burn her eyes. She can't be talking about the new ones. Just my experience though. |

I have used both the old Kirkland ones and the Neutrogena ones and don't really love either one. (Currently using up a big Costco box of the Neutrogena face wipes.) They're both OK - meh, neither one is as gentle as I like, especially around the eyes. And the Kirkland brand stings my eyes a little, but not the Neutrogena ones. I like the "Simple" brand micellar water face wipes the best but Costco doesn't carry them and I got tired of only being able to buy 1-2 boxes at a time so I went back to Neutrogena. More expensive, but my very favorites are by MAC Cosmetics (got them as a bonus or something once and fell in love with them). Just too impractical and pricey to use these all the time ( MAC facial wipes). |

I tried using something like these but honestly, I didn't want to contribute more to landfills. I think soap and water work just as well.

I get it, they're convenient, but truthfully they're not even good at cleaning skin apart from the harm they do to wildlife and the oceans etc.  |
