My Review

I think I had more of a problem with the packaging of this product, rather than the product itself. However, here I will talk about the product and then you can read about my complaints I had with the packaging.

I normally don't like the tissues that have lotion in them because I don't like the greasy feeling it leaves on my hands and nose. However, when I first heard about Puffs with Vicks I was very curious so I gave them a try. I still didn't like the lotion feeling on them - but if that is something you are used to or don't mind then it's not a problem with these. I did, however, find the smell of Vicks vapors to be very soothing and comforting while I had a cold - so I didn't mind the lotion on them so much. The tissues were thick and soft and they didn't fall apart when you used them.

Packaging: The packaging and design of this product was very poorly done. The description, ingredients and all other information you would expect to find on a product was very confusing. I am not exaggerating when I say every other line was done in English, Spanish AND some other language. They didn't even break the languages up except with a ' / ' . It seemed like I spent more time reading non-English words I couldn't read then words that I could read. It was impossible to read the ingredients, since those words are often unknowing and strange anyways.

Another added downfall I had with both the product and the packaging was one night when I was crying, I grabbed Puffs with Vicks and wiped my eyes. I would highly suggest not doing this because it will burn. Now it does say on the Puffs with Vicks site not to do this, however I didn't see anywhere on the box that it said this - which I would have thought would be the most convenient and important place to put it. Maybe it was written on there in another language and I couldn't read it - who knows.

    It clearly says in bold print on the box AVOIDING CONTACT WITH EYES IS RECOMMENDED AS SOME PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE TEMPORARY EYE IRRITATION, this is listed before the ingredients.

    Very informative. I like the tissues but never thought much about the packaging. You are absolutely correct in your assessment.
