Advantages: Leave you with a fresh, clean feeling

Disadvantages: Too rough for sensitive or dry skin or frequent use

I usually use the basic botanics facial wipes and picked up these by accident.

Rather than simply being a damp cloth, they are textured, with one side rougher than the other. The idea is that you gently exfoliate with one side and then finish up with the smoother side.

It may just be me squinting without my glasses, but it's oddly not obvious which side is which to look at - I found myself holding it up to the light to see the texture difference. It's much easier to tell by touch alone!

I have dry skin and while I am very rarely sensitive to any products, I did find that these left parts of my face feeling a little 'jangled' and sore, especially at the sides of my nose. i think they are maybe too rough, even for gentle use, if you have dry skin. A liquid exfoliator can't be pressed on like a cloth can and feels more gentle.

I think I would keep these for days when you feel particularly grimy, but overall I'd suggest using gentler standard ones for quick cleansing and proper exfoliators etc on occasion.

Summary: Probably not necessary, but good for emergencies
