Advantages: Convenient, gentle and they moisturise as well as cleanse

Disadvantages: Not that economical

This review focusses on Nivea Visage Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes for dry and sensitive skin.

I am a nivea fan all round, and these wipes form a daily part of my skin routine. They come in a pack of 25 and cost around £3.75. Boots often have these on a buy one get one free offer so it's good to stock up when they do. The pack is re-sealable, much like a baby wipe pack. I use 2 every day, one in the morning and one in the evening so a pack lasts me around 12 days or so.

I know some people wouldn't use these every day, they probably use cleanser from a bottle and would only use wipes for holidays or when out and about. I have used both, and I see no reason to use bottled cleanser, these wipes are adequate. I know they may not be as economical, but what they lose in economy they more than make up for in convenience.

The wipes remove all traces of make up, including waterprooof mascara and they soothe and hydrate your skin at the same time. They contain almond oil and calendula oil. The wipes themselves are very soft, and feel moisturising to touch. They have a very gentle fragrance, not unlike the nivea creme of old in the blue metal tins. I am not a fan of fragrance in products, and this doesn't bother me at all. The wipes are alcohol free and are dernatologically and opthalmologically approved.

I've tried other cleansing wipes, but found them all to be too harsh and drying for my dry and sensitive skin. These wipes have no adverse affects and they do the job perfectly.

Summary: A great product, highly recommended.
