Kimberly-Clark Corporation’s Kleenex Facial Cleansing Wipes
These wipes solve a common problem women have with existing make-up remover wipes that do not leaving the face feeling as clean as liquid cleanser and water.

Co-form fibers can be up to five times smaller than those of Spunlace. The pre-moistened wipe contains a water-based cleanser that makes the skin feel freshly washed-clean in just one step.
