essano Facial Wipes Gentle Cleansing Wipes Review

I don't really buy wipes anymore, most don't remove my makeup as well as other things and most make my skin feel super dry. (Also I always feel bad using them because of the environmental factor!) I picked these up a while ago on sale and was pleasantly surprised. I used these on days when I was feeling super lazy to remove my makeup and for things like wiping swatches off my hand.

I only needed to use one wipe to remove my whole face of make-up. These didn't dry my skin out (they didn't make my skin feel hydrated either). They also didn't leave my skin feeling sticky or leave any residue. They didn't dry out in the packet and I got to use every wipe.

I felt like they were reasonably priced and one of the better make-up wipes I've tried. I think they would be a good choice if you are looking for wipes, but would still definitely recommend cleansing and moisturising after!

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 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.

I love that it's an NZ brand and I like the ingredients and that it's affordable. The scent is OK, nothing too overwhelming or sickly. I find these to make my skin feel a bit greasy, however. I do have combination oily skin though so those of you with dryer skin types will probably have better luck with these. I don't love the film it feels like it leaves behind so I usually follow up with micellar water and then my moisturiser.

I picked these up from countdown when they were on sale for $7. These are ok, I like that they are made from natural ingredients and is gentle on the skin. These would remove my make up pretty well but I would still need to use my cleanser afterwards. They did have a soft gentle fragrence, but it didn't transfer onto the skin. I also didn't notice them leaving a film on my skin afterwards. I can't say they were moisturising, as I cleansed and moisturised my skin after using them but they didn't dry my skin out. Over all, I would use these again, they didn't really have any down points to them, but they weren't "wow amazing".

I picked these wipes up in my weekly grocery shop . I normally use wipes after a long shift when I can’t be bothered removing my make up . I first heard of Esssano a couple of years ago .

The packet itself has an adhesive opening which I’m not a fan of because they loose grip . Labelling is clear easy to read. The wipe itself is white is a standard square wipe soft in texture . This scent reminds me of roses.

I can use one wipe to remove layers of foundation, concealer , eye shadow and eye liner well . I have no problems at removing make up .

Price wise it’s at a fair price point . I still go in with a cleanser for that extra cleanse. I did enjoy trying these wipes out . Can’t see myself repurchasing them .

I use these to cleanse when I’m tired at night. Great if I’m not removing makeup. Good moisture and leaves my skin feeling pretty clean. Removes eye makeup well but need to use quite a few to remove foundation etc.

These are good for taking on holiday however I don’t use them for every day use - I find they don’t leave my skin feeling as clean as my liquid cleanser does but they are still handy to have in the kit for travels and small touch ups etc.

These smell nice but my skin doesn't feel very clean after using one, keeping in mind it's a wipe and not a proper cleanser. I've had other wipes like the Simple and Swisspers that make my skin feel clean. I only use wipes when I'm in a hurry, travelling or having to go straight to sleep after work but I always make sure to double cleanse asap.

Really basic. Didn't get rid of all makeup. The towel itself didn't feel expensive or something special. Makeup was still left on my face. Wouldn't use again unless was given for free
