Advantages: Gentle, easy to use when travelling

Disadvantages: Quite expensive, not very moist

I bought these wipes to use when I am away as they are very convenient for travelling. They are also gentle enough that I can just use the one type of wipe for face and eyes without irritation. The packaging is a plastic packet with resealable flap, however I have had many issues getting this flap to stay down, and often the wipes start to dry up or get covered in rubbish out of my bag!

The wipes are made of a soft, disposable, cotton-y cloth which is infused with the face wash solution. They do not require running under the tap or anything, just use them as is. They are quite dry compared to some wipes, and I usually need to use two to wash my whole face. The cloth is very soft, however it does come apart quite easily even though it is only used once.

These wipes are very gentle, even on my sensitive skin, and I found them more refreshing than thoroughly cleaning if I was wearing makeup. For this reason I have also invested in Superdrugs circular tea tree face pads, as I find these have a lot more moisture in them, and have a gentle exfoliating effect, although are not usable on the eye area.

These wipes are suitable for only very slightly oily skin, as they are extremely mild and I do not find they have much effect. They would not suit dry skin as they are slightly drying.

They are not the cheapest wipes, although tend to be 2 for 1 or 2 packs for £4. RRP is £2.99, which equates to 10p per wipe.
