Skinfood Facial Cleansing Wipes Review

Disclaimer - i'm not a wipes person. I used to be, but now they aren't the best solution for my skin.

So saying, I won these, and love the brand, so I gave them a go.

Skinfood Facial Cleansing wipes come in the typical white and green packaging, which looks clean and fresh. The ingredients are clearly listed, if you're into reading those, and the key things they want to advertise appear to be the inclusion of aloe vera and chamomile, and the exclusion of parabens.

They have a little more of a ....soapy scent than I'm used to from Skinfood. Usually there's a fresh lime scent to the products I adore; that's missing here.

These are very 'wet' wipes. The cleansing agent is generously applied to the wipes, which are reasonably soft.

They do an okay job of removing most makeup, but certainly don't render my face totally clean. I'm left with a slight tingling while the products on my skin, and later on, once it's dried or dabbed off, skin feels really smooth. I usually break out after using wipes though, and these are no exception, so I'm more using them for touchups, to help get eyemakeup off, and to help clear my hairline at dye time.

Worth a shot, but haven't turned me back on to wipes.

I love a lot of Skinfood products & when I opened this pack of Facial cleansing wipes, I was greeted with the fresh clean odour I like. The wipes are VERY wet, 'great' I thought 'They should be able to remove my eye makeup'

But OW!! stingy! that is not nice. makeup removal was ok, but I wont be using them for my eyes. In fact I'm too scared to put them on my face, after all what's the point in cleansing only part of your face?

I am using up the pack as brush revivers however, in between full cleaning.

Firstly, I don't actively purchase wipes, but this came in their monthly bundle so I happily reach for it during my cleansing routine.

I use wipes as a pre-cleanse, to remove makeup before using a proper cleanser.

The Skinfood wipes are gentle enough for my sensitive skin, but not super effective at removing all makeup. However, for my needs, this is fine.

I wouldn't repurchase based on the fact that I find wipes wasteful being a single-use product.

I really liked these wipes when I first bought them. I have super sensitive skin and find I can't use just any cleansing wipe. This one I was able to use without breaking out or reacting to. It gave my skin a good basic clean and my skin felt soft and refreshed afterwards.

The only downside is that I found you didn't remove as much makeup or clean your skin as well as you would have if you had used actual cleanser itself as there was still product left on the face after using the first initial wipe.

I would recommend these wipes for travel or if you are too tired to go through the whole Step 3 process of Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising but wouldn't use them every night as I feel you would get product build up, which then makes me break out. A great alternative for on the go.

After finishing this packet I won’t be repurchasing it. I bought it from Countdown while on sale for $8.00 but it normally retails for about $10.00. I love the cleanliness that’s portrayed by the simple white and green packaging.

Instead of a plastic lid it comes with a resealable flap so just like with a significant number of wipes out in the market you need to ensure to close it firmly to avoid the risk of drying out the wipes.

Other than a light sweet natural scent I don’t detect the aloe or chamomile. The towelettes are about the size of my medium palm which is sufficient for my face. I love the solution used on the towelettes; it removes makeup nicely and breaks away eye makeup better than I expected.

I have sensitive skin and I have no issue using these wipes, my main problem is how the wipes feel against my face. I find it slightly – je ne sais quoi – scratchy sounds too harsh but it’s as if I can feel the fibres of the towelettes and I don’t particularly like that.

That slight problem isn’t something that would prevent me from recommending it to others because it does a good job and how it feels against the skin doesn’t cause any discomfort. However I've had softer wipes so I would opt for others before this one.

I'll be the first to admit - since becoming a Mum, wipes just don't appeal to me anymore (think: nappy changes!). That said, these Skinfood wipes are handy, do what they say they will and smell nice. They are great for a lazy cleanse after a hard night. They did make my skin feel like I'd just moisturised, which was nice but a little hard to get used to because you expect your skin to feel clean.

Some of the downsides: aside from the waste caused by wipes (single use throw away item), I found the resealable sticker to close the pack and keep the wipes moist didn't stick very well.

Besides that, a handy staple to have in the cupboard for those nights when you just can't be bothered with a full on cleanse routine.

The Skinfood Facial Cleansing Wipes are a widely available, helpful option for removing any makeup and general cleansing of the skin. I found them effective yet gentle, and pretty good with removing both foundation and eye makeup.

As with all Skinfood products, I LOVE the emphasis placed on natural ingredients and extracts of chamomile and aloe vera. This was definitely noticeable with these wipes, giving them a lovely softness which was comforting on skin. Not to mention the fun, fresh packaging classic to Skinfood looks so cute in the bathroom cupboard!

I would not use these as a 'one-step' product, however. I found my skin still required its usual toner and moisturiser following the Skinfood wipes. For this reason I consider them slightly more overpriced than other cleansing options, but their good quality and moisture set them apart from cheaper brands of cleansing wipes.

Skinfood is a really great brand. I've always been a high-end skincare snob but these wipes are the best i've come across. They don't irritate my skin or sting my eyes. My only qualm is that the wipes aren't wet enough and dry out too quickly.

When I initially opened a packet of these wipes I couldn't believe how wet they were, they were drenched! Far too wet, but as I got through the packet the wipes became less soaked.

These wipes are gentle on the skin, soothing and hydrating. They're not bad for removing makeup, and they're a decent size and thickness.

I recieved a packet of these wipes in an advent calander, I probably wouldn't buy them myself at full price just because I reakon that over $10 for a packet of 25 wipes is a bit steep. They're pretty good though, one of the better cleansing wipes that i've tried.

To jump straight to the point: these do the job but don't exceed expectations.

I don't use wipes often - only on super late nights or when I am travelling. I bought these to add to my work travel bag (always prepacked and preprepared). I like the Skinfood brand as it is simple and doesn't irritate my skin, is affordable and just simply seems to do the job. They are gentle, soft and don't have any horrendous smell - leaving you feel fresh.

Now this isn't unique to these wipes, but I find they don't get everything off the skin. But they are a good 'pre-wash' before cleansing properly - especially when travelling without your normal cleanser.

Would I buy again? Sure - for the price and for travelling. Not an everyday use item for me (especially environmentally-wise), but a good travel companion that does a good enough job.
