Skinfood Facial Cleansing Wipes Review

The Skinfood Facial Cleansing Wipes are a widely available, helpful option for removing any makeup and general cleansing of the skin. I found them effective yet gentle, and pretty good with removing both foundation and eye makeup.

As with all Skinfood products, I LOVE the emphasis placed on natural ingredients and extracts of chamomile and aloe vera. This was definitely noticeable with these wipes, giving them a lovely softness which was comforting on skin. Not to mention the fun, fresh packaging classic to Skinfood looks so cute in the bathroom cupboard!

I would not use these as a 'one-step' product, however. I found my skin still required its usual toner and moisturiser following the Skinfood wipes. For this reason I consider them slightly more overpriced than other cleansing options, but their good quality and moisture set them apart from cheaper brands of cleansing wipes.

Skinfood is a really great brand. I've always been a high-end skincare snob but these wipes are the best i've come across. They don't irritate my skin or sting my eyes. My only qualm is that the wipes aren't wet enough and dry out too quickly.

When I initially opened a packet of these wipes I couldn't believe how wet they were, they were drenched! Far too wet, but as I got through the packet the wipes became less soaked.

These wipes are gentle on the skin, soothing and hydrating. They're not bad for removing makeup, and they're a decent size and thickness.

I recieved a packet of these wipes in an advent calander, I probably wouldn't buy them myself at full price just because I reakon that over $10 for a packet of 25 wipes is a bit steep. They're pretty good though, one of the better cleansing wipes that i've tried.

To jump straight to the point: these do the job but don't exceed expectations.

I don't use wipes often - only on super late nights or when I am travelling. I bought these to add to my work travel bag (always prepacked and preprepared). I like the Skinfood brand as it is simple and doesn't irritate my skin, is affordable and just simply seems to do the job. They are gentle, soft and don't have any horrendous smell - leaving you feel fresh.

Now this isn't unique to these wipes, but I find they don't get everything off the skin. But they are a good 'pre-wash' before cleansing properly - especially when travelling without your normal cleanser.

Would I buy again? Sure - for the price and for travelling. Not an everyday use item for me (especially environmentally-wise), but a good travel companion that does a good enough job.

I'll be the first to admit - since becoming a Mum, wipes just don't appeal to me anymore (think: nappy changes!). That said, these Skinfood wipes are handy, do what they say they will and smell nice. They are great for a lazy cleanse after a hard night. They did make my skin feel like I'd just moisturised, which was nice but a little hard to get used to because you expect your skin to feel clean.

Some of the downsides: aside from the waste caused by wipes (single use throw away item), I found the resealable sticker to close the pack and keep the wipes moist didn't stick very well.

Besides that, a handy staple to have in the cupboard for those nights when you just can't be bothered with a full on cleanse routine.

I really liked these wipes when I first bought them. I have super sensitive skin and find I can't use just any cleansing wipe. This one I was able to use without breaking out or reacting to. It gave my skin a good basic clean and my skin felt soft and refreshed afterwards.

The only downside is that I found you didn't remove as much makeup or clean your skin as well as you would have if you had used actual cleanser itself as there was still product left on the face after using the first initial wipe.

I would recommend these wipes for travel or if you are too tired to go through the whole Step 3 process of Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising but wouldn't use them every night as I feel you would get product build up, which then makes me break out. A great alternative for on the go.

After finishing this packet I won’t be repurchasing it. I bought it from Countdown while on sale for $8.00 but it normally retails for about $10.00. I love the cleanliness that’s portrayed by the simple white and green packaging.

Instead of a plastic lid it comes with a resealable flap so just like with a significant number of wipes out in the market you need to ensure to close it firmly to avoid the risk of drying out the wipes.

Other than a light sweet natural scent I don’t detect the aloe or chamomile. The towelettes are about the size of my medium palm which is sufficient for my face. I love the solution used on the towelettes; it removes makeup nicely and breaks away eye makeup better than I expected.

I have sensitive skin and I have no issue using these wipes, my main problem is how the wipes feel against my face. I find it slightly – je ne sais quoi – scratchy sounds too harsh but it’s as if I can feel the fibres of the towelettes and I don’t particularly like that.

That slight problem isn’t something that would prevent me from recommending it to others because it does a good job and how it feels against the skin doesn’t cause any discomfort. However I've had softer wipes so I would opt for others before this one.

I brought these as Fat 2 Fit NZ gave them a great review, but they stung my eyes. and i didn't even use them over my eyes only around the eye socket. Even though It did take off all my make up and made my skin feel nice.. I will not be using again.

I won a pack of Skinfood New Zealand facial wipes thanks to Beauty Review and was interested to try them. I usually clean my face with my favourite cleanser on a cotton ball. The wipe is easy to take out of its pack. The feeling of the wipe on my face is refreshing. However, I have a very sensitive skin and the wipe really dries my skin off and doesn't moisturised it. For my type of skin, the wipe does half of the job it claims to do. I won't discard the leftovers wipes. I will use them when I don't have direct access to water while camping or hiking. The price of $0.40 / wipe is a bit high in my opinion. I would also prefer a smaller packaging made of recyclable plastic.

I found these didn't remove my makeup it just dragged it accross my face, I found they were quite dry and didnt have enough moisture. I also didn't really enjoy the scent. Disappointing as I quite like a few things from this brand. I had a very red face once I gave up try to remove my makeup ! :(
