If you love your
Top Chef Masters and
Big Bang Theory like I do, you've probably seen the commercial for Simple Skincare quite a few times already: a white rose getting splattered with paint while a British-accented voice introduces this UK brand as a sensitive skin expert, describing its facial wipes as being "kind to skin". I recently got a sample pack of the Cleansing Facial Wipes with my September issue of Loulou, and tested their gentleness on my slightly-acting-up skin. (FYI: if you are a Rogers customer, you can subscribe to Loulou for a dollar an issue!)
True to the claims advertised on the
Simple website, I didn't notice any scent, and I didn't feel any dryness or residue after use. The wipes worked perfectly well removing my makeup (Marcelle BB cream) without much fuss or irritating my face. Bonus: some makeup removers sting my eyes, but these wipes removed my
waterproof L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber mascara pain-free.
Since I prefer washing my face with water and a proper cleanser, I probably wouldn't buy the Facial Wipes only because I can't be sure I would finish them before they dry up inside the packaging once opened. The wipes are definitely worth a try for anybody likes the convenience of wipes, not just those who have sensitive skin. Although I was a bit skeptical of Simple before, I'll be checking out other products in the range based on my experience.
