I'm always curious to see how products that claim to have no perfumes, dyes, harsh chemicals (and are "good for you") really feel because of the expectations put on them. I was not disappointed!
I like cleansing wipes in general, even though I will wash my face anyway after using them. The Simple wipes are soft, odorless and they do a great job of removing makeup, even mascara! I put them to the test to see how strong they were and used one to wipe away a swatch of some OCC Lip Tars....they removed about 98%! Which is pretty good considering when I use my lip tars, I usually have to wipe, wash AND scrub my skin after. OCC is no joke! :-)
These wipes are good to carry if you want to freshen up your skin during the day. Also, I definitely wash my face every night but not the second I walk in the door from being out. I would use these first, just to get everything off my skin and then do a more thorough cleansing right before I go to sleep.
They're not drying like most facial wipes probably because they're alcohol free but my skin did feel a tiny bit tight. Not exactly dry but not 100% moisturized either. However, they don't have oil so they don't leave an oily residue either, which is good because the oil can be irritating.
It says to "avoid direct contact with eyes" but I totally poked myself in both eyes while removing my mascara & they didn't sting at all! Lol! It was weird because I was absolutely expecting my eyes to start burning but instead my eye area felt cool but in a menthol way, not irritated at all!
I'm not sure what it would do to the product (I'm guessing nothing) if I put these wipes in the refrigerator but I can't help but think they'd feel amazing after a long day! It would be such a great pick me up to wipe away the day from your face but to have them be cold also will tighten the skin and calm/soothe any redness as well....Just an idea ;-)
The moisturizer and wipes both contain Pro-Vitamin B5 (smoothing/softening) and are Dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic. Basically, they won't irritate the skin or clog pores!
I really like the moisturizer and wore it a few times. I was expecting it to be lighter than it was but the consistency was good for me. Not too thick and not too light. It really has zero perfume, which I must admit is weird, everything has perfume! Lol! It was refreshing at the same time, so I'm not complaining. Some of it's main ingredients include Glycerin (hydrates)-Bisabolol (calms) and Allantoin (softens.)
While in Target today I noticed that both items are moderately priced for $9.99 (moisturizer) and $4.99 (wipes) which is great. I was expecting them to be a bit more for some reason.
I'd like to point out that this brand would be perfect for someone with allergies or sensitive skin. I don't have sensitive skin but both the wipes and moisturizer felt good going on. I'd pack the wipes in my kit for sure because I'm sure they'd work on all skin types. I'd use the moisturizer as well on clients that didn't want anything heavy or scented :-)
