I was super excited to try some eco friendly wipes. I wear makeup everyday for work and wipes are convenient but they’re all a bit average. This one is no different - it takes the bulk of the makeup off but does leave heaps. To combat this, I clwanse my face afterwards with a makeup removing cleanser and a cloth which works great and using the wipe first means there is less on the cloth. So, if you arena makeup wipe user, these are a great option

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.
I wouldn’t normally buy these wipes, but I really liked that they were eco friendly. They removed makeup ok but I felt you needed 2 to get eye makeup off. I use waterproof mascara and it didn’t remove this at all. I would use this more to refresh my face than to remove makeup. They did smell nice and My skin felt nice after using them. Great packet to reseal.
Tips: Good eco option for light makeup only.
Great wipes that do what you would expect!
I was very interested in this product as the wipes are biodegradable. As a whole I try to avoid products such as wipes as I try to reduce my waste where possible. In saying that wipes are so useful to take on holidays, boat trips and camping so it is a product I purchase from time to time.
To be honest I most likely wouldn't pick up this item based on the packaging. Nothing exactly against it but the purple and green doesn't overly attract me however it is very functional packaging which is a big bonus. The snap top is very useful to keep the wipes damp and fresh. This is a feature that I look for as I don't use face wipes daily I need them to stay fresh for as long as possible.
The smell of the wipes is pleasant and they do a good job of removing make-up. I did need to use two wipes to remove all of my eye make-up but they are as effective as other wipes that I have tried at removing make-up.
Ofen I find wipes leave a strange feeling on the skin after use but I didn't have that with these wipes. My skin was left feeling clean but also moisturised!
Overall these are great wipes. They remove make-up well and leave my skin feeling nice. I would recommend these to other people looking for cleansing wipes.
Tips: Use more than one wipe for stubborn to remove make-up.
I can be very lazy about my skincare and I care a lot about the environment, so I was very excited to try these biodegradable face wipes.
In general, the product performance was much like other wipes I've tried - the fact they were biodegradable didn't cause them to break down during use or anything.
While I was using them I found they had a mild, pleasant, subtle scent - nothing to irritate those of us who are sensitive to strong artificial fragrances. They were a good size and had a suitable amount of product on them. My sensitive skin didn't react and I didn't feel the need to follow with water, like I do with micellar water.
The downside I experienced was that, although they say the wipes cleanse and moisturise, if I didn't follow with a moisturiser my skin felt dry and tight. Then, of course, I got a few extra zits from so much oil on my face!
Is this a good solution to use instead of your regular cleanser? No. Is this a good environmentally-friendly swap, instead of your normal wipes? Yes!
I have been on the hunt for a sustainable but also quality facial wipe for a while, and I think I may have found a winner in Swisspers ECO Wipes. I got the aloe variety to try out and found it super soft and effective, getting rid of every trace of makeup without stripping my natural oils from my skin. It had a fresh barely there scent which is perfect for me. I love that they are biodegradable and safe for papatuanuku. I will definitely keep buying these as it made may morning routine easier and worked well to remove makeup and wipe away the day.
Tips: I'm not sure if I'm the only person that does this, but these wipes work well at giving the taps, basin and bench a quick wipe after using it to wipe your face leaving not only you feeling fresh but your bathroom looking a bit better too.
i was lucky enough to be picked to try these wipes. i don't really use wipes for my face so don't really have anything to compare it too but i found them quite nice. they smell nice, the wipe itself was pretty thick so didn't have to worry about it falling apart while using it. i used them for general face cleaning and makeup removal. they worked really well for both, i did have to use an extra one for removing the makeup but it did a really good job. my face felt and looked really clean after using them, it didn't dry out my skin at all which is the major concern for me being i have dry skin issues. i would definitely buy these and use them again
I use wipes occasionally when I wear a strong eyeshadow look or base makeup, as wipes get the bulk of the makeup off quickly and I then follow with a cleanser to remove any remaining makeup.
The Swisspers Eco Sensitive wipes are working well for me. They feel drier than wipes I've used before but they removed nearly all my eyeshadow and Marc Jacobs pencil eyeliner which can be a struggle to remove. Barely any came off when I followed up with a cleanser which impressed me.
The size of the wipe is good, I don't wear foundation but sometimes I wear a tinted moisturiser and one wipe is big enough to remove it, a bold eye look and lipstick. I have sensitive eyes but these wipes have not irritated my eyes at all. They have a light and pleasant smell that doesn't bother me. I have really dry skin and they don't make my skin feel tight. I love that they are plant based, I would buy them again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Tips: When removing eye makeup, hold the wipe over the eye and press lightly for about 10 seconds and then wipe away. This gives the remover time to break down the makeup a bit and means you don't have to go over the same area many times which is better for your eyes. Especially good when wearing waterproof mascara, eye primer under the eyeshadow or a long wearing eyeliner.
Whenever I travel, I always take a packet of facial wipes with me for those just in case moments. So, of course I was keen to try these. I loved the idea that these facial wipes are biodegradable, which make them eco-friendly.
These look like just another facial wipe and has a moist feel to them along with an aloe vera scent. I found that one facial wipe wasn't enough to remove most makeup, I had to use at least three, but that's the case with any facial wipe. I liked that these were gentle on eyes when removing eye makeup. The facial wipes also felt very moisturising and nourishing that my skin didn't feel dry after using them.
These facial wipes are something I would purchase as I find them rather handy to have around and they're eco-friendly, which is awesome. I definitely recommend these.
Tips: Always wash your face after using facial wipes.
