Advantages: great cleansing wipes

Disadvantages: A bit too big

Cucumber wipes

I have already written a review about cleansing wipes.
The reason?
I like them. I find them quick and easy to use; they do their job with minimum fuss.
So, on my last foray into Boots, I noticed that these particular wipes were on a BOGOF offer.
Rude not to…

** THE PACKAGING**

The wipes come in packs of 30 and are in a green plastic packet with information, ingredients and useage all clearly stated.
The packet has a peel back strip which is resealable.

**THE WIPES**

The wipes are about 20cm square and have a fresh cucumber smell.
They are moist without being wet…just right for some serious face cleaning!!

**WHAT THEY DO**

The wipes remove make up from face and eyes and are suitable for all skin types. I do find this a bit confusing because if these can be made so that they are suitable for all skin types, then why are all products not produced in this way so that we lose some of the masses of beauty products on offer.
They contain extract of cucumber which apparently helps to remove make up, leaving skin soft, cleansed and refreshed. I would imagine that cucumber is very soothing as well…remember the cucumber on the eyes?

**HOW TO USE THEM**

Gently wipe the wipes over your face and neck, whilst keeping your eyes closed.
Very very quick and very very simple!

**INGREDIENTS**

The product does state that it is very mild, but that there have been rare cases of mild adverse reactions.
There are lots of ingredients, but the ones which struck me as the ones I actually recognized are Aloe Vera, cucumber extract and Vitamin E.
The wipes have been dermatologically tested which is obviously a plus.

**Hit or Miss?**

I have used all of the wipes from one packet of wipes and still have my free packet left.
The wipes come easily out of the packet, and the pull back strip is reusable and seals the packet up again so that the wipes don’t dry out.
The wipes are quite big, although not as big as some of the wipes I have used; they could be slightly smaller and still do the same job.
They do actually remove all make up and grime, although they have problems removing waterproof mascara…which product doesn’t?
The wipes are quite moisturizing and don’t seem to dry out my face at all, so they are obviously not horribly astringent. I find that some products actually start to make especially my chin incredibly dry but these are great for a moisturizing clean.
I find them particularly useful when I am traveling and don’t want to carry lots of bottles around with me. I also like them for use in the morning when I want to just ensure the worst of the night grime is off my face before I face the day.

So, all in all, a good buy especially when you get a packet free, and worth giving a go if you like these cleansing wipes.

Thanks for reading
