I was lucky enough to receive these wipes to trial. I have used makeup wipes before, but not for a while. Prior to using these I had been using micellar water on cotton makeup pads to remove my makeup.
The Swisspers wipes I was sent for review are the Aloe Vera ones. They come in distinctive purple and green branded packaging. The packet is a plastic envelope with a hard-plastic lid in the centre. The wipes are kept fresh with a re-stickable seal. The packet contains 25 wipes. On the packet they claim to be “moist, soft & strong” and to remove waterproof makeup. The wipes are biodegradable because they are made from cotton and renewable plant fibres.
The wipes themselves are white, and they are about the size of the average tissue. Although they have a light perfume scent, they do not smell especially strong. They are very soft and they are infused with a reasonable amount of makeup remover. I found that one wipe was more than enough to remove that day’s makeup from my face. They did also remove waterproof makeup, as promised, such as black eyeliner and matte lipstick. The makeup came away easily without me having to do any excessive rubbing. Afterwards my skin felt very soft and moisturised. I have sensitive skin and these wipes did not irritate my skin at all after repeated uses.
Altogether these are very gentle and reasonably priced moisturising wipes that are a great eco option if you prefer to use wipes to remove your makeup.
The Swisspers ECO Aloe Vera wipes look like most facial wipe packs you see on the shelf except that these wipes are biodegradable which definitely sets them apart from the majority of facial wipes.
The aloe vera wipes have a lovely scent with just a hint of aloe vera and they work really well at doing their job of removing make up. My skin felt really clean and refreshed after using them and I really love the scent of these wipes.
One of their best features is being biodegradable and this is one of the main reasons I will buy them again. They work really well as a facial wipe plus it is great knowing that they're not contributing to our ever growing landfill.
I would definitely recommend the aloe vera wipes and I'm keen to try out the sensitive wipes as well.
