little white truths

Now I'll just repeat most of the intro from the last post I did on the green cleansing wipes, in case you haven't seen that one (and the rest of the post is very similar to that earlier post because I can't add anything that hasn't already been said):

You would think that cleansing wipes would be much-of-a-muchness - kind of like, I dunno, make up pads - but turns out they're not. These hit HG status straight away; they're truly sensational and I'm so glad I've found them! (Can you believe I'm saying that about cleansing wipes?! Ha. How sad.)

Once I'd tried the blue wipes, I went out to source the pink and green ones, which I happily got for 20 per cent off.

In this post I'll be reviewing the green version, which I'm using now, but eventually I'll get through all three packs and give you an overall review, letting you know which ones I like best.

The pink ones are the 'cleanse and refresh' variety and they contain green tea and vitamin C enzymes. Sounds refreshing, but the slight green tea scent isn't as refreshing to me as the pineapple enzymes were in the green version of these wipes (see review here) so I'd chose those over these ones every time.

Verdict

I love these! They're the first face wipes I've been impressed by - all the others I've just used because I've received them in eg sub boxes - I'd never gone out and bought my own. Now I have!

They're nicely wet (I hate ones that don't have enough moisture in them), soft and do the job well when it comes to removing dirt and makeup. They don't always remove all my mascara on their own - I really need warm water for that because some mascaras I use are too heavy duty - but they fare better on that front than any other wipes I've used.

The textured side is pure genius: you feel like it's really cleansing and also helps with exfoliation, leaving your skin brighter and fresher afterwards. It's also nice to finish off on the smooth side, really making sure you've removed everything.

As mentioned above, the green tea scent is fine but I don't love it as much as the pineapple one in the green versions so I mightn't buy this one and just stick to either or both of the blue and green version. I also like the packaging, not that this really matters that much.

I can't recommend these enough. Yes, they live up to their claims, and they've become something I can't live without. I'll be interested to see which of the three colours I like most. Maybe the green ones?
