Gentle on the skin and kind to the environment

These eco-friendly, biodegradable, plant-based face wipes with Aloe Vera come in cute green and purple packaging. I was intrigued when I saw this sentence on top of the cute lift-up lid on these wipes:  'A soothing cleanse, leaving all skin types feeling as rested and calm as a rainforest'. If that doesn't entice you to lift the lid, I don't know what would! To me, that sentence conjured up thoughts of gentle skin pampering while on some kind of holiday in a tropical rainforest! And, hey, in the age of Covid, dreams are for free guys… Anyway, I for one couldn't wait to try these out.

The first thing I noticed was how strong and durable these large, generous wipes are. Some wipes feel like they could rip apart very easily while you’re using them, in fact - some actually do, but not so with these ones. I absolutely loved the thickness of them! They also feel lovely and moist - not too much so, but enough to know that these wouldn’t dry out too easily. The smell is very mild and subtle - definitely not too strong or fragranced like some face wipes can be. And the feel of them on my skin was gorgeously refreshing, gentle and mild - there’s no harsh cleansing feeling when using them, and they do not irritate my skin. It does feel quite pampering and enjoyable to use these.

How effective are they at removing makeup though? Well, here’s where this review becomes a little more tricky… They do an adequate-enough job, but I find that, compared to some face wipes I've used in the past, these aren’t quite as effective for that specific purpose. How do I know this? Because I had to wipe at least 2-3 times over the same spot to get rid of my makeup completely. I noticed there were slight smears of make-up around my under-eye area in particular, so I had to wipe over the same spot to completely remove it. I don't wear a lot of thick makeup either, so this was surprising and a little disappointing, because I do have to go to a bit more effort than usual to remove makeup when using these wipes. If you wear heavy eye make-up (which I do not), then you might actually need an additional eye makeup removal product handy, because I'm not sure how well these wipes would cope with heavy eye makeup... To be fair on Swisspers though, they don’t appear to be overly marketing the makeup-removal aspect on the packaging, they have said these ‘gently cleanse’, and this is accurate wording, in my opinion.

The verdict? These are nice, natural, eco-friendly, large, generously thick, moist wipes. They’re kind on the planet and feel lovely, cooling, gently cleansing and refreshing on the skin. I’d recommend these purely as pampering, refreshing facial skin wipes - for all skin types. But if you wear lots of makeup and were wanting to buy these specifically for makeup removal, I would think twice because in that regard, while they weren’t too bad, they weren’t great either at removing makeup.

Tips: If you wear heavy eye makeup in particular, you’ll need an additional eye makeup removal product at the ready.

10/10 Wipes

I was lucky enough to be on the trial team for the swisspers eco wipes. I received the Aloe Vera wipes. I typically don't use wipes on my face due to them being bad for the environment but i've been using these recently to remove my makeup. First impression i loved the scent, they smelt so fresh and pleasant. Using them on my face was so nice they felt good and i could remove all my makeup easily. I would most definitely be using these again in the future. I love the fact that they're biodegradable. Makes them so appealing to me !!

Fabulous

I love these wipes. I use tons of wipes and I thought these would be more of the same, but they're far superior.

The first noticeable advantage is that the top is solid so the pack closes properly and the wipes don't dry out. Secondly they are big enough, thick enough and damp enough that they come out easily and separately and you don't end up with a big a handful that you don't need.

I have been using them to clean off my make up at nights and my skin finishes up clean and fresh without any sensitivity, which surprised me. It's also a big plus that they are biodegradable and the pack I was given to trial has aloe vera - which is lovely and soothing on my skin.

I note they retail around $8.50, which is a bit pricier than others, but for the easy of use, lack of waste, biodegradability, and gentleness on my skin, is worth the extra pennies.

I most definitely recommend these to others.

Tips: Keep a pack at work to freshen up during the day.

Swisspers ECO Wipes

I really like these face wipes - finally face wipes that I don't need to feel guilty about using, as they're biodegradable! I found these really effective at cleansing away stubborn make-up, and actually just as effective as the regular Swisspers face wipes which I use regularly. They don't have a tonne of scent, which is great if you have more sensitive skin or are more sensitive to scents in skincare products. I was a little worried that the wipes might be thin or tear easily, but I found the durability and texture of the wipes to be very similar to other, non-biodegradable, wipes that I've used in the past. Overall I'm really pleased that I've had the opportunity to try these out, and that I can now continue using make-up wipes guilt-free!

Tips: Make sure you keep the pack tightly sealed, so that the wipes stay fresh and don't dry out!
