Advantages: They Cleanse Your Face

Disadvantages: In My Opinion These Wipes Do Not Work On Dry Skin, Packet Keeps Opening Up

I bought two packets of Nivea Visage Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes because I could not find my usual wipes in the supermarket.

I was attracted to them initially because Nivea is a well known brand and they had minature tubes of moisturising cream attached to them which was a bonus.
I also buy many Nivea products so therefore I thought that their cleansing wipes would be a good buy.
There are 25 wipes in a packet and they are for Normal and Combination Skin Types. They are meant to Cleanse, Tone and Invigorate in one easy step, and remove make-up and waterproof mascara for a fresh skin feeling. They are alcohol free with Lotus Extract and Vitamins.

It states on the pack, that they cleanse your face, eye area and neck while respecting your skin's natural balance. It also says that the soft fleece with its refreshing formula invigorates your skin.
In all, your skin is supposed to be thoroughly cleansed from dirt, mak-up ,waterproof mascara and left feeling refreshed.

However, I found out that these facial wipes were not for me. Although they were a good size, thick and they smelled nice and fresh they did not cleanse tone and invigorate in one easy step. They did cleanse after many attempts at taking off waterproof mascara but I had to drag the wipes numerous times across my eyes (I had to use a few).
I had to take the rest of my make-up off with a few wipes therefore not in one easy step as promised.

In all, I have dry skin and instead of the wipes toning and moisturising my face, eye area and neck these wipes in my opinion did not. My skin felt dry, raw scratchy and rough. There was no moisture or even oil or lubrication on my skin and in my opinion these wipes did not respect my skin's natural moisture balance as stated.
In summing up, once the wipes packet is opened, it is very hard to close it and keep it closed because it continues to open up, therefore drying up the tissues.
I continually had to use a weight to keep the packet closed. I would not buy these wipes again because I do not think that they suit my skin type.

Summary: I could not recommend them for my type of skin
