But sometimes using makeup wipes gets way messier — and more confusing — than it should. There are so many drugstore brands making makeup removal wipes now… but they’re not all created equal. But which wipe is the best? We bought every single one we could find in the drug store to find out. Then, we removed a full face of makeup in each one and judged them based on their packaging, scent, texture, makeup-removing abilities, and effect on the skin. Nevertheless, we persisted in using them. They do, however, have solid packaging. It isn’t as air-tight as a pop tab, but the hard-plastic cover of Cetaphil’s wipes make them easier to seal shut and prevent from drying out. And due to the clinical nature of these wipes, they lie more on the astringent side, which caused Nicola’s sensitive skin, particularly around the eye, to burn. The scent of these wipes hits you the second you open them up — these guys are FLORAL AF. The fabric itself, however, is soft and flexible. L’Oreal wasn’t lying about those rejuvenating effects — after a few minutes with these wipes, Brittany’s skin felt a bit tighter and smoother. They’re soft but smell a little more floral than your average makeup wipe. It’s a very subtle scent, though. They aren’t the cheapest wipes, but they certainly aren’t the most expensive, either. Although Neutrogena’s wipes are gentle on the skin and take most makeup off in a swipe or two, they leave behind a thick, oily sheen, and that oil can fog up contact lenses REAL bad They also lie on the cheaper end of the drugstore-wipe spectrum. Bonus points for also being the only wipe that walked the fine line between astringent and greasy. It left the skin feeling completely neutral rather than dried out or slippery.
