Advantages: Handy and quick

Disadvantages: Not very effective

I am really trying to step up my skin care regime at the moment, just trying to make the best of what I've got and all that. I know that regular exfoliating can make a real different to the appearance of my skin but I'm not very consitant and sometimes I go longer than I should without exfoliating.

I was having a good look at the beauty products in Tescos, as it is my favourite aisle in the shop and I spotted a packet of their 'Clear Skin Exfoliating Facial Wipes' I had never seen a product like this before and the whole concept really appealed to me, it seemed that they were a quick way of exfoliating which I thought might encourage me to do it more regularly.
The wipes also were quite a good price, costing 77p for a pack of 25, they were certainly worth trying, so i decided to give them a go.

That evening I gave the wipes a go, I removed one from the packet and gentle wiped it in a circular motion over my whole face. I could feel that the wipes had a knobbled texture and it was these little knobbles that were exfoliating my skin. The wipe did feel quite rough against my skin those and it wasn't really enjoyable. Afterwards I had a good look in the mirror to see if there was any noticeable difference to the appearance of my skin. Normally when I use my old gel type exfoliator, my appearance is instantly improved, it just seems to glow but using these wipe I didn't really notice any difference at all.

Exfoliating is supposed to remove dead skin cells and unblock pores resulting in a clearer and more glowing appearance but these wipes just didn't cut the mustard. I do think that they would be handy for travelling but I certainly won't be replacing my existing exfoliator.

Summary: Great concept, disappointing product
