I initially bought these towelettes on sale because they are a bit pricey - but I do like other Essano products and wanted to try them.
I also thought they were for removing makeup like the Essano Miccellar wipes - um no! BUT they are deliciously scented refreshing, cleansing wipes that to remove some makeup, sunscreen and normal dirt, just not eye makeup.
When I read the packet it actually doesn't say "makeup remover" so that was my bad - these wipes do what they say - and do it well, with a delicious rose scent.
What they say - 'Essano Rosehip Gentle Cleansing Facial Wipes are facial cleansing wipes that work to cleanse, moisturise and protect the skin. The formula includes aloe vera to soothe the skin and replenish essential hydration, while antioxidant rich green tea protects against free radicals and environmental stressors. The wipes are enriched with certified organic rosehip oil.'
Packaging - The wipes come in a dusky pink, resealable soft plastic pack. The moisture stays locked in and the wipes stay moist and fresh. The seal is pretty good because none of the scent of liquid 'leaks out' when the sticky tab is closed.
The wipes - Each wipe is soft, fairly large and stays well moistened. I've had no problems wiping over my whole face, neck and chest. (and armpits in an emergency 'freshen up'!!)
The first time I used one I tried to take my eye makeup off and while it took the shadow off it left the mascara - on checking the pack I realised they were actually makeup removers!! So I splashed some Essano Micellar Water eye makeup remover on the same wipe and took my eye makeup off easily that way.
The wipes are gentle enough to use on the whole face including the eye area. I have had no irritation even though I have sensitive skin.
I love the scent and how refreshing they are on my skin. I think they'd be great in Summer as face, neck and hand wipes to freshen up.
