I'm not a big fan of facial wipes typically but I do have them on hand for my lazy moments when I can't be bothered cleansing properly, or I get home and just want makeup off and moisturiser on!
I've found most facial wipes I've tried are quite harsh on my skin - drying and causing irritation, however I was pleasantly surprised by these wipes. Micellar is also challenging with my skin - which begs the question why I'd use these - and simply put I was given them, so I'm happy to try most things once - and on this occasion really glad I did.
The wipes are in a cute little packet. Handbag size, with just 25 wipes. Has a proper plastic clip closure versus the usual sticky tape on many brands, so that was the first tick in the box for facial wipes for me.
The scent of these particularly wipes is a subtle but very pleasant coconut smell, and the wipe itself is soft - with a little light texture to help with cleansing. I did feel that they weren't overly 'moist' compared to other brands, but they didn't tend to dry out much once opened either. For day time use the fact that they weren't overly 'wet' was a winner.
Using them they're so refreshing on the skin, and I had no tingles or irritation which was great. They seem to easily remove day-to-day makeup easily, even stubborn mascara, and I'm left with nice bright, cleansed skin afterwards. I don't think it's as thorough as my double cleanse routine at night, but I do love these to quickly remove makeup when I don't have the time or inclination for a full on skin routine.
I also love these in the handbag as I use these to pat over my face to freshen up my complexion and makeup and tidy up any panda-eye smudges without wiping away every trace of makeup. Just patting all over the face, these feel fantastic on a warm day.
These wipes doesn't change my cleansing routine (usually a balm, then cream cleanse at night) but rather it is an extra for day time freshening up, and removing makeup when on the run or out of time in the evenings.
I don't tend to have sensitive skin but lots of wipes are too harsh for my skin, so I've already repurchased these because they feel great on my skin and smell so lovely.
I originally received these wipes as part of a subscription beauty box and really enjoyed using them. They aren't my absolute favourite facial wipes, I have others which I feel remove makeup better, but they are great and smell nice and subtle. Very refreshing and cooling and leave my skin feeling good.
