Kleenex is a brand of disposable paper tissues that are commonly used for wiping the face, hands, or nose. Introduced in the 1920s, it was originally marketed as a makeup remover but quickly became popular for its convenience in managing colds and allergies. The tissues are made from soft, absorbent paper and are available in various sizes and packaging options. Kleenex has become a household name, often used generically to refer to any facial tissue, regardless of the brand. The product is known for its gentle texture and effectiveness in providing relief during sniffles and sneezes.
