REVIEW: Witch Cleasing and Toning Face Wipes

great face wipes for oily or combination skin not too harsh

I received these in face wipes in a goody bag and was quite pleased as I've stopped buying face wipes but have always wanted to try Witch's because I've used other products of theirs in the past and they've never disappointed. My only concern regarding these was that they might be too strong for my skin or might irritate my eye area. The good news is they didn't, but I only had 10 wipes to use so I haven't been able to do a very long trial of these. I have the feeling that over time they might dry out my skin a little bit, not a problem for my t-zone but my cheeks really don't need to be dried out any more than they are! Overall, I liked the product, these wipes weren't too dry, they weren't rough and they weren't too strong. They did remove make-up well but I personally wouldn't really want to use these on my eye area every day and as this is where I wear most of my day-to-day make-up these wouldn't be something that I'd incorporate into my everyday routine. But if you like using face wipes and want to use some that really feel like they're cleaning your skin well then I'd recommend giving these a try. 

These are available in Superdrug stores or online for £2.99 for a pack of 25*.

REVIEW: Johnson's Daily Essentials Oil Balancing Facial Cleansing Wipes


I know face wipes aren't the most exciting products but I (and I assume others must do too) get through quite a lot of these over the course of the year and I've yet to find a HG variety. However, these Johnson ones are pretty darn good- a lot better than the others that I've reviewed so far. They are specifically for 'combination skin' and they do a very good job of getting rid of make-up (waterproof mascara included) and at keeping my skin clean on those evenings when I just can't bring myself to do my whole skincare routine. I've just finished the packet after using them for about three weeks, mainly to get most of my make-up off before cleansing but they're also great to use after the gym or before reapplying make-up in the evening.

One word of warning though, these weren't as friendly to my sensitive skin as I would have liked. I didn't have too much trouble but I won't be continuing to use these for removing eye make-up as they just aren't quite gentle enough- always a toss up for me between something for very sensitive skin and being able to budge my water-resistant make-up. However, if you don't have sensitive skin, and especially if you have combination skin, I really would give these a try. I've been really happy with them as the wipes are quite soft (quite a lot smoother than the Garnier wipes I'd been using previously) and aren't at all dry so you can use them with quite a delicate touch and still get beautifully clean skin.


I would repurchase these but not specifically to get rid of eye make-up, these would probably be something I'd go for in the summer when my skin is at its oiliest. They're definitely worth a try though, I think I'll be picking up the Dreamy Skin variety to try next. These Oil Balancing Facial Cleansing Wipes are available in Superdrug stores and online for £1.52 (normally £3.05).


Do you use any face wipes that you'd recommend?
