essano Facial Wipes Gentle Cleansing Wipes Review

I bought these from Pak n Save when I had run out of my regular face wipes. I had heard a lot about Essano and Rosehip in general so was quite excited to try them.

The price was fairly average. Most wipes are around that price point but you can often get packs with 25 in them, whereas these "only" have 20.

The packaging is the standard dusty rose and brown that Essano uses across their range. The sticky label on top stayed sticky until using the last wipe which is good as it helps prevent the wipes from drying out.

As for the wipes themselves, they had a nice fragrance and they did do what they said they would. The problem I had with them is that they made my face really greasy. Not rosehip-oily, but an actual grease feeling on my skin. It didn't appear until about 20 minutes after using each wipe but it was definitely there and put me off using the wipes entirely.

Because of this, I won't be repurchasing these wipes.

Smelled great and didn't cause problems to my sensitivity but my make up needs something stronger. If using without make up maybe I would try again.

These are packaged in an attractive pink & gold packet...appealing to the eye (like all essano packaging!). The packet contains 20 wipes and got these on special at a reasonable price. The size of the wipe is also a very generous size.

I like cleansing wipes to be reasonably moist. These seemed to feel that way when I pulled each wipe out but found it wasn't the case when I started cleansing. They didn't particularly "dry out", more there wasn't enough moisture to feel like I was getting a good cleanse. They say "refresh, cleanse and hydrate". Unfortunately I didn't the cleanse or hydration I personally like.

They do smell refreshingly good though and they are extremely gentle on my skin. They didn't have any stingy feeling or give off any toxic chemical smell like I find with some wipes.

I picked these up from countdown when they were on sale for $7. These are ok, I like that they are made from natural ingredients and is gentle on the skin. These would remove my make up pretty well but I would still need to use my cleanser afterwards. They did have a soft gentle fragrence, but it didn't transfer onto the skin. I also didn't notice them leaving a film on my skin afterwards. I can't say they were moisturising, as I cleansed and moisturised my skin after using them but they didn't dry my skin out. Over all, I would use these again, they didn't really have any down points to them, but they weren't "wow amazing".

I picked these wipes up in my weekly grocery shop . I normally use wipes after a long shift when I can’t be bothered removing my make up . I first heard of Esssano a couple of years ago .

The packet itself has an adhesive opening which I’m not a fan of because they loose grip . Labelling is clear easy to read. The wipe itself is white is a standard square wipe soft in texture . This scent reminds me of roses.

I can use one wipe to remove layers of foundation, concealer , eye shadow and eye liner well . I have no problems at removing make up .

Price wise it’s at a fair price point . I still go in with a cleanser for that extra cleanse. I did enjoy trying these wipes out . Can’t see myself repurchasing them .

I use these to cleanse when I’m tired at night. Great if I’m not removing makeup. Good moisture and leaves my skin feeling pretty clean. Removes eye makeup well but need to use quite a few to remove foundation etc.

These are good for taking on holiday however I don’t use them for every day use - I find they don’t leave my skin feeling as clean as my liquid cleanser does but they are still handy to have in the kit for travels and small touch ups etc.

These smell nice but my skin doesn't feel very clean after using one, keeping in mind it's a wipe and not a proper cleanser. I've had other wipes like the Simple and Swisspers that make my skin feel clean. I only use wipes when I'm in a hurry, travelling or having to go straight to sleep after work but I always make sure to double cleanse asap.

Really basic. Didn't get rid of all makeup. The towel itself didn't feel expensive or something special. Makeup was still left on my face. Wouldn't use again unless was given for free

I tried these out recently as I had loved the starter pack of Essano products so I thought that I would give these a go as well when I had run out of wipes.

The packaging is your usual plastic packaging. I find that the plastic lid part has a tendency of not staying down. But as with most wipes I find storing them on the lid helps so your wipe is nice and moist and the lid stays on for as long as possible.

The wipe itself smelt fine, nothing offensive. But my major problem with them was that I didn't think they were really damp enough to do a good job. I also found that they did a crap job of removing waterproof mascara and I always had to use micellar water as well around my eyes which was annoying. They didn't irritate my sensitive skin though so at least that was a plus.

For me these were really just average and I won't be repurchasing.
