Magic Mitt, Reusable Knitted Microfiber Cloth Gently Removes Makeup and Cleanses Skin with Just Water, Includes 1 Mitt

The perfect facial cleansing cloth! I've been using this facial mitt for about 10 years and will never use anything else. I have sensitive combination skin and it always gets my face clean without being abrasive. It also lasts years so it's worth the money. I have one for my shower and one for washing my face at bedtime.

The magic mit is quite fantastic. I believe I bought my first one almost 20 years ago. I keep forgetting them on vacation, in hotel rooms, campgrounds etc. I will keep buying them as long as they make them. They will take your makeup off completely without any product. You just have to wet the mit with water and gently rub and it’s off in a couple of strokes. Soft on the skin and easy to wash. Jane Iredale also makes excellent makeup and products.

I’ve used this product for years, and love it! The texture allows for makeup removal without soap or face washes, which can be drying to the skin. It allows a light touch as not to stretch the skin, and provides easy cleanup by rinsing. Handy hanger allows me to Dry The cloth right in the shower.

I was given something that looked like this mitt in 2007! —By my skincare specialist as a gift. She told me I would love it, and so I took it. For quite a few years after that, I was traveling most of the time, often in countries with few “amenities.” I started using the mitt, used it most of the time without soap, and came to value it enormously. I did wash it out by hand, (using soap) after each use and hung it to dry. I noticed ruefully awhile back, that my mitt was beginning to wear after so many years, and looked through all of Amazon’s offerings to find something similar. This Jane Airedale mitt is identical, even the same size and color, and I’ve been using it for several months now. My recommendation is not to wash it in the machine and especially not to use the dryer or use a softener. It definitely will remove makeup and in my experience, will last a very long time, as a good product should!

Surprisingly, it works well in removing makeup with just water. I was really skeptical at first, but it works! (Guess the knitted micro-fiber isn't just for show). I don't use it as a standalone product (I follow up with a face wash and spin brush), but it works well as an initial makeup remover. I've used micellar water and makeup wipes in the past as my initial makeup remover, but I hated the waste that came with using them. With this, I like that I can wash out the mitt and keep reusing it. With time, it does get harder to wash out all the makeup stains from the mitt (after three months, mine has a few stubborn stains from my eyeliner), but it still works great as an initial makeup remover!

I have used this mitt for about a year now and just bought a new one for when the other is in the washer. The original is still working just fine, maybe a bit stained but that does not bother me. The most impressive thing about this mitt is that it removes even waterproof mascara with no extra force needed. The first time I used this. I was quite impressed. The next day I washed my face with my usual wash (obaji) and then just because I could see a few smudges of mascara left I decided to see how much else was remaining of my make up. Whoa, there is a LOT that does not come off with regular face washing. This magic mitt however gets EVERYTHING. While also preserving the natural moisture barrier. Also, when I’ve increased my retin A strength and peeled and been irritated, this exfoliated very gently and did not leave my skin on fire after. Great product!

This thing is awesome! It takes off all of your makeup with zero products, meaning less chemicals. I used to spend a long time with micellar cleansing water (garnier and/or L'oreal) and cotton pads taking off my makeup and it would take forever to finally get all of the makeup off. After that, there'd be a residue from the cleaner and my face never really felt clean. This takes off all my makeup in minutes. I use the top of the glove on one side to get the first layer of makeup off, then the bottom of the same side to get the second layer off. Repeat on the top and bottom of the other side and your makeup will be off. If you have a lot of makeup on your eyes, start with a makeup remover first to loosen things up and then go in with the mitt. That will also help avoid rubbing too hard on the delicate eye area. Follow the directions for cleaning and care! I think the only draw back is it seems like I'll have to replace it in a month or 2. Maybe 3. But for $15? No big deal.

I have been using these mitts for 5 years. Actually the same mitt. I couldn't believe how great they work. Takes off make up with just water but does work quicker with cleanser. Very gentle on sensitive skin. I have even used it on my body. I just wash it out and let it air dry. Great for trips. I'm got me a new one, love the purple and got another one to give a gift. A must have!
