essano Facial Wipes Gentle Cleansing Wipes Review

I LOVE these! I was in a play last year and needed some wipes for removing stage makeup. Saw these on special and after trying their handcream I knew it was an easy choice. Other people back stage had different wipes, but the smell of these was lovely, much better than the others, more importantly they removed all the makeup with minimal effort. Unfortunately they disappeared too quickly as everyone wanted to use them from then on. I had to purchase another pack and keep it hidden.

I bought these from Pak n Save when I had run out of my regular face wipes. I had heard a lot about Essano and Rosehip in general so was quite excited to try them.

The price was fairly average. Most wipes are around that price point but you can often get packs with 25 in them, whereas these "only" have 20.

The packaging is the standard dusty rose and brown that Essano uses across their range. The sticky label on top stayed sticky until using the last wipe which is good as it helps prevent the wipes from drying out.

As for the wipes themselves, they had a nice fragrance and they did do what they said they would. The problem I had with them is that they made my face really greasy. Not rosehip-oily, but an actual grease feeling on my skin. It didn't appear until about 20 minutes after using each wipe but it was definitely there and put me off using the wipes entirely.

Because of this, I won't be repurchasing these wipes.

I tried these out recently as I had loved the starter pack of Essano products so I thought that I would give these a go as well when I had run out of wipes.

The packaging is your usual plastic packaging. I find that the plastic lid part has a tendency of not staying down. But as with most wipes I find storing them on the lid helps so your wipe is nice and moist and the lid stays on for as long as possible.

The wipe itself smelt fine, nothing offensive. But my major problem with them was that I didn't think they were really damp enough to do a good job. I also found that they did a crap job of removing waterproof mascara and I always had to use micellar water as well around my eyes which was annoying. They didn't irritate my sensitive skin though so at least that was a plus.

For me these were really just average and I won't be repurchasing.

I really liked these wipes for refreshing my face, and in the summer, when hot and sticky, I also used them on my body! They had a nice enough smell, nothing over powering! I didn't use them for removing make up so don't know how good they would be for that purpose but more than adequate for refreshing and cleansing my face.

I am not usually a huge fan of cleansing wipes, as I find they're not enough to take all my makeup off and are quite expensive to buy regularly. However, I wanted to give these a go to see what they were like. Was super impressed!

The Essano packaging is as pink and adorable as ever, and these wipes have the most beautiful scent of roses! They are soft and moist, and feel lovely on the skin. Although it definitely took ages to remove my eye makeup, these wipes are quite thorough and did remove 99% of the makeup from my face. Non-irritating, even around my eye area. I was overall very impressed! Not to mention, Essano is a fabulous brand with an anti-animal testing stance, yippee! :D

I was sent a pack of these facial wipes from Essano when they first came out as a prize, and i thought they were great! I've always loved the smell of the Essano range its so lovely and refreshing. They took my foundation and eye makeup off well and i was surprised how it left my face feeling really clean and refreshed. I ended up taking the pack with me when i went away for a weekend which was perfect for traveling! Because off the cost i wouldn't use them too much but definitely would buy them for when i travel as it was so quick and easy rather than using facial cleanser and water which takes a bit more time.

These are great.They work well,smell fantastic and are gentle on my sensitive skin.Totally recommend.

I purchased these as I had used some of the other Essano products and enjoyed them. The packaging itself is highly recognizable if you have had other items from Essano. With the same colour scheme. It is also recognizable as holding wipes as it is has the same plastic sticker to seal it, this is not my favourite thing.

The wipes themselves were well moistened and a regular wipe size. Some brands have textured wipes but I didn't notice any difference between the sides, some brands have one side is rougher than the other. I didn't find myself blown away by these especially since there are only 20 wipes in a pack however one wipe was enough to remove my makeup. I didn't use waterproof mascara as I don't have any at present but I did notice that it did smear my eyeliner a little when trying to remove it before a bit more soak/press/light rub took it off. I would have liked a clean take off from the soak/press at the start and not have to repeat it. I do wash my face properly after use as I don't like the feel of left over wipe residue, it's not just this brand it seems to be most brands of wipes that I have used.

I found these average for a wipe. They didn't blow me away. Compared to some brands there are less wipes in the pack than compared with others but these are natural and doesn't animal test.

These are my favourite go to wipe. They do exactly what they are supposed to. The material is lovely and soft, not to thin, not to thick. Not dripping wet with product, but not dry either. They have a lovely smell, it's only faint but nice on your face. What's not to like, they are certified organic!
