Target Up & Up Everyday Personal Care Products Review + Giveaway

For the last two years, I’ve been using many up & up brand products from Target. I’m a diehard fan of their moisturizing body wash, oil-free eye makeup remover, cotton rounds, cotton swabs and nail polish remover. These are staples in my skin, body and nail care routines- they’re a great value and quality and the products do what they say they will.
Plus, I already shop at Target a lot, so it’s easy to pick up these everyday essentials during one of my many visits where I browse each aisle and buy things I absolutely need want in my life.
I first discovered this up & up sensitive skin body wash (there’s also a moisturizing and exfoliating version I love) when I was browsing the skincare aisle. I have really sensitive skin that frequently breaks out in hives, so I have to be careful with what I use when I shower, since my hives are temperature-induced. This body wash has been a staple for me — it’s better priced than name brand body washes and I’ve never noticed a difference in its performance — it leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth.
Recently I got to test out more up & up products that I hadn’t previously used — including makeup removing facial wipes created specifically for sensitive skin (yay!) and antiseptic spring-mint mouthwash.
Kevin and I both enjoy the mouthwash, it’s a nice extra fresh-breath boost in the morning and helps keep plaque at bay with its germ-fighting ingredients. 
I had never before used makeup cleansing wipes prior to these up & up cleansing towelettes for sensitive skin. I didn’t realize that cleansing towelettes could remove waterproof makeup (I thought they were formulated for removing only foundation and powder). Since I’m a fan of waterproof mascara, this was perfect for me. I’m actually going to bring these with me when we go on vacation later this year so I don’t have to bring cotton pads and liquid eye makeup remover.
 
Having access to inexpensive products that I use in my day-to-day life that are reliable and high quality is awesome, and I’ve found that in the up & up brand.

    I love Target and the up&up brand. I have been using their eye makeup remover, sensitive skin facial wipes, nail polish remover, and cotton balls for quite some time. I also love their dupe of Dove cucumber body wash. It is my favorite!

    I love the Up&Up brand! I use the cotton swabs, body lotion, and I've even tried their baby products and loved them. I honestly can't tell the difference from other high end brands! And when you live in a household where every penny counts, it's nice to know that I can still get great quality products for a cheaper price!

    Love the up & up brand! My favorite is actually their regular makeup remover wipes (in the blue package), but I will have to try these sensitive skin ones! They are perfect for travel (though I use them daily)!

    Yes! Up & Up Laundry detergent – the free & clear kind. Works as good as Tide Free and great for sensitive skin. I am going to try some of these too.

    I buy them all of the time, they have an oatmeal body wash that is great and when you look at the price compared to the Aveno it's a no brainer!

    I love the up&up brand that Target has! They have almost everything in their brand, and it's always cheaper which is a plus! I especially love the sensitive skin body wash (comparable to Dove) and the makeup remover (comparable to Neutrogena). Always reliable, thanks Target!

    I love using the up and up cotton rounds everyday. They work great with my toner. I also use them to remove fingernail polish. The up and up hand sanitizer is a great product. Target makes the best products.

    I love the Up & Up brand! With our first child, we used only Up & Up brand diapers! They were just as good as the fancy brands. We also love their baby wipes.

    I pretty much exclusively shop at Target for household stuff and I've never used an Up&Up product I didn't like! I love their different face washes that I swear work just as good as the brand names.

    I make it a point not to buy any other brand at Target other than Up & Up! We rely on it for everything from baby formula, yogurt melts, diapers, wipes, diaper genie refills… to face wash, cotton face pads, make up remover wipes, make up tools and even their grocery products! I am obsessed with anything and everything Target. They make my life as a mother and woman so much more easy and enjoyable! (reposting cause I think my first one failed.)

    I use the Up & Up Rantinidine (generic for Zantac 150), and the bathroom wips w/witch hazel.

    I do most of my shopping at Target so I've used lots of Up and Up. I love their nail polish remover, cotton balls, swabs and plenty of other beauty and cleaning goodies. My favorite thing is their baby formula though, it's so much cheaper than name brands and my daughter has never had any issues with it.

    UP & UP product are very decent for the price. My favorites are the diapers, wipes for baby & face. There's sometimes coupons even for UP & UP products. Target is simply the best!

    I have never been disappointed with Up & Up brand. I buy their brand all the time. My favorite item is their baby butt cream (like Desitin). I also like their disinfecting wipes, hand soaps, and things like tin foil, sandwich bags, etc.

    Where I live, it's an hour's drive to the nearest Target, so I make my visits count! I love the up & up line of products, and I stock up on their tall kitchen trash bags, plastic wrap, tissues, and yes, the antiseptic mouth rinse, too (among others).

    I don't get to a Target store very often due to the location so I wasn't aware of all the up & up products available. Now I have to make an effort to get there and do some serious shopping.

    To be honest, I have never tried this brand before. I am not opposed to trying it and I am sure that it is a great store brand, but there are no Targets really close to where I live, so I only get there a couple of times a year. Sorry!
