...purchase of something for the ROC range amongst others, as I had never tried anything from the ROC range and needed new cleansing wipes anyway, I purchased the ROC Cleansing Wipes at a cost of £5.99, but I had had to pay the 99p as I had the voucher otherwise I probably wouldn’t have bothered, well £5.99 does seem a little steep in comparison with Nivea wipes or even Botanics wipes.
Coming in fairly simple recyclable packaging, plain ... ...of course the well known ROC logo to assure a quality guaranteed product (their words, not mine).
There are 25 wipes to each packet and each wipe comes neatly folded and is white in appearance and a similar size of baby wipes although maybe a little smaller. Taking a wipe from the packet was fairly easy, just peel back the plastic re-sealable cover and remove a wipe remembering to reseal the pack immediately.
Well I don’t know about any of you but through the years I have tended to get a bit lazy when it comes to looking for quicker and easier ways of doing things and the discovery of cleansing wipes for me was an absolute godsend.
For those of you who have never heard of cleansing wipes, they were created to ease the strain of removing your make up enabling us to replace the three step skincare routine before going to bed, particularly ideal when you have had a boozy night out and you want to get your head on that pillow quickly, it’s always a good idea to remove your make up before going to bed, well I mean the last thing you want is foundation over your pillow case or even panda eyes in the morning. They are ideal to carry around with you in your handbag or even take on holiday, well it would be easier than carrying around your cleanser, cotton wool balls and toner but you will probably still need your moisturiser.
Cleansing wipes are similar to baby wipes but obviously designed with cleansers to remove dirt and grime from your face leaving a nice clean fresh feeling quicker than usual.

Coming in fairly simple recyclable packaging, plain white with a blue pull back re-seal able tab at the top of the packet to enable to keep wipes inside fresh, word of warning here don’t leave it open always make sure you seal it back up otherwise you will find your wet cleansing wipes to suddenly be all dried out, trust me I’ve done it and of course the well known ROC logo to assure a quality guaranteed product (their words, not mine).

It feels much the same as a baby wipe, not too wet, not too dry, just right; the cloth is surprisingly strong and will only tear by force. There is a slight smell from the wipes, reminds me of Clinique cleanser, not overpowering, just enough to reassure you of it’s cleansing abilities.
To use: gently smooth over face and neck area paying particular attention to those areas heavily made up which in my case happens to be my eyes, I always use mascara, even on a daily basis, so I do tend to find myself having to go over my eyes a few times to remove all residue, with other wipes I have found myself sometimes having to use two wipes to get rid of all traces of the mascara but not with these, one is always sufficient to get the job done.
This does seem to leave my face feeling quite clean and refreshed and unlike some others that leave my face feeling a bit on the dry side, I do feel as if my skin has been moisturised. I do have quite sensitive skin and am pleased to say I have never experienced a reaction from using these wipes but then they are Ophthalmologically and dermatologically tested and have the added bonus of being alcohol free which explains why my skin never feels quite as tight or dry, as alcohol does tend to have this effect on your skin.
I have continued to use these on a daily basis for the past month or so and have to say that I will purchase them again, although they are a little on the expensive side, they do the job properly without drying out my skin and I’ve noticed I have not been plagued with as many blemishes or spots on my face, so for me it’s worth the extra money.

Advantages: Refreshing wipes that remove all traces of make-up Disadvantages: Pricey and I had a slight reaction on the first use
A Review of ROC Facial Cleansing Wipes. I have never before tried any of the ROC products, purely because they are too pricey for me and the brand has not appealed to me. I purchased this particular product from my local Boots store after receiving a coupon for £5 towards branded facial products-including the ROC range. I wanted to take advantage of this coupon and so went to have a look to see what I could find...........................................................................................................................................
... ...really know much about the ROC brand, only just a bit from watching advertisements on TV-I went to the website (www.rocskincare.com). I discovered that the ROC brand is a Johnson & Johnson Consumer Company, and they claim to be the French anti-ageing skin care experts. Although I am only 28 years of age I do think about my skin now and how to take care of it, mainly for the future. ROC was founded in 1957 in France by pharmacist Jean-Charles Lissarrague ...

Advantages: Fast, and effective Disadvantages: Expensive
...up very fast ). The Roc colours are there, pleasing and soothing as always, white, navy blue with a hint of lighter blue round the Roc Logo.
The wipes themselves are thin and pleasantly humid, full of moisture. I use them by wiping my face with them, then going over it again a few times until it feels clean. I find that they really cut through the dirt and makeup, and my face looks totally clean and glowing after use. A good thing is that they are ... ...use. This often has tempted me into going to bed staight away, without bothering to apply a night cream. Wrong, I know!
I would recommend these as a good basic product to have in your bathroom. The only drawback is the price; I wouldn't object to paying this for a normal cleanser, but as I don't use wipes all that often, I would object to paying £5.00 for this product. ...

Advantages: It does what it is meant to do Disadvantages: I suppose the price is high for a product of this kind
I love the Roc facial wipes, I have tried many other wipes and finally came across Roc. I know it is pricey but I find for me it soothes my face. The other wipes I have used have been harsh but the Roc is gentle and you can use it around the eyes. It has vastly improved my skin. I no longer use any water on my face unless it splashes when wasing my hair etc. If for any reason I do not have any wipes my face breaks out and is not comfortable until ... ...is combination. For me the Roc wipes have been a blessing and turned around the condition of my skin. I no longer have to moisturise and have had many comments about how well my skin looks, but that might be the endless water drinking. If you live in the UK Roc is available in Boots and Superdrug and occasionally the larger supermarkets. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "ROC Facial Cleansing Wipes"
Advantages: convenience Disadvantages: no toner and facial cleansing agents that lather up
Dear me.
I think I've gotten the wrong kind of cleasing wipes.
I wanted the ones from Oil of olay that produce a bit of lather when wet. Thinking that these cleansingwipes from ROC were the same thing. I bought 2 packs at Boots. There are 25 wipes in the entire packet and these do not lather up at all.
However, they are supposed to be specially designed to reduce allergic reaction to it and is suitable for use around the sensitive eye contour area too. Which I suppose is a good thing as most facial washes tend to dry out that area the most leaving you to care more specially and tenderly for your eye area...
Still, this is a most convenient combination if you ask me as it is a cleansing product that effetively cleanses away the makeup and doesn't just clean away surface dirt. It also gives you a bit of moisture but I would ...
