Product

Here we have the Skin Therapy 3 in 1 Facial Wipes. They are fragrance free and suitable for all skin types.

Dermatologically tested and alcohol free, Skin Therapy Fragrance Free Facial Wipes are suitable for all skin types".

- alcohol and soap free

- allergy screened

Packaging

The facial wipes come in a plastic packet. There is a resealable label on to top. On the top of the packet, you will see the Skin Therapy logo and some information about the wipes. On the back of the packet, you will see the blurb about the wipes, directions for use, ingredients and details of how to contact Wilko.

The packet is different from the one shown above. It is a delicate green shade with white panels and the writing is in a darker green shade.

Wipes

The wipes themselves are quite large and white. They have a good thickness though can still be seen through. They shouldn't be flushed.

Availability and Price

These can be found alongside the Health and Beauty section in most Wilko stores. I picked mine up on 2 packs for 80p but I do believe the normal price is less than £1 per pack. This is for a pack of 25.

My Opinion

Facial wipes are something that I go through alot of. I got into the habit of buying packs at around £3-£4 from Boots. I can certainly no longer afford to spend this amount on them so always search for alternatives. Having been impressed with cheap Asda face wipes, when I spotted these on the Wilko shelves at 2pks for 80p, I couldn't resist! I opted for the fragrance free as I have sensitive skin.

I personally use facial wipes in the morning before applying some day cream and in the evening for removing any makeup or grime from my face. I don't wear a massive amount of makeup but I do like my eyeliner and mascara so any wipes I use, need to put up with this.

My first impressions of the wipes were good, the packet is attractive but basic and although I am not fond of they awful sticky labels, this one suprised me by sticking down so neat you wouldn't even know it was there!

As the wipes are alcohol and fragrance free, I didn't expect any scent. I would say though they remind me of unfragranced baby wipes in scent. The wipes are larger than I anticipated. One wipe covered my full face when layed out flat. The wipes are white but you can see through them as they have little dimple effects. They are perfectly moist as to cleanse but not soak your face. They feel soft and smooth but dry out quickly.

To the test..the makeup! To test I was wearing mineral powder and blush (both No7), eyeliner (Estee Lauder) and mascara (Benefit). I swept the wipe across my face and instantly felt a delightful coolness.

The wipes effortlessly removed my facial makeup and I could tell as it had turned an orangey colour. My eye makeup required a little more effort but nothing much. The face was left without a smidgen of makeup. The wipe remained strong and moist for the full time.

I only had to use one wipes for my entire face. This included the removal of my makeup and a further sweep to cleanse. My face felt soft and extrememely clean and fresh. I thought it was going to be sticky but it was perfectly dry. I did not experience any irritation or soreness even around my delicate eye area.

The wipes performed better than I expected them too.

At 80p for 50wipes, these were definently a true bargain. I think I will try the other products in the Skin Therapy range!

Thanks for reading. x
