Skinn Cosmetics Makeup Remover Wipes

Jordan2 — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 18:24:01 GMT

Maybe it's my own fault for not using them right away, but I find these wipes to be dry and not removing my makeup well at all. I feel there are far better wipes in the drugstores and much cheaper. Has anyone else had a problem with them?

My one daughter uses Vaseline to remove her eye make up. My other daughter and I use Clinique's Creamy Eye Make Up Remover.

I've used it for many years. I have (since forever) worn Maybelline's Waterproof mascara. It's the only thing that takes it off with a few swipes. I swear by it.

Vaseline is what I have always used.

The Skinn facial wipes are a little dryer (just slightly less saturated but not dried out) than other brands to begin with, but I have no problem with them. They work fine for me and I love the scent. I'm not relying on them to do a complete cleanse, but rather just to remove the surface makeup before I do my actual cleansing.

I know people have commented on Beekman wipes too, but I find them fine as well. The acutal cloth is a little thinner though.

@Jordan2 I bet you can revive them with a little water.

Personally I think wipes products of any kind are a waste because they do dry out rendering them useless. They are, however, a convenient travel item to have on hand or great if you go through enough of them before they dry out. And furthermore, even after you use a makeup wipe, you still need to cleanse afterwards. Never use a wipe alone then go to bed.

I actually have the opposite opinion on the Skinn wipes which I always found quite moist (which I LOVE but they are pricy unless you get the 4 pack at anniversary/Xmas time) I use neutragena and boy, is it a come down from my Skinn ones...I used Beekman too and they were dry but like @JeanLouiseFinch I use wipes only to remove the top layer of makeup/eye makeup /mascara then I do a thorough cleansing using various cleansers (Skinn olive and enzyme balm/Dr Young camellia oil/Emma Hardie/Isomers Double Duty) HTH's

I don't rely on the wipes to thouroghly clean my face. I take off my eye makeup and some of my face makeup. I then give my face a good cleansing.

I use a facial wipe to remove makeup before cleansing, and have tried a number of them. Huge fan of the Skinn wipes, very effective yet gentle, nice large size, and the scent is wonderful. I find them to be moderately wet, not dry.

The Costco wipes are very wet, used to be my 'go to', but they changed the formula - stinging feeling and some redness, not using them anymore.

I found the Beekman wipes to be very dry, not as effective.

Once I open a new package, I keep them in a sealed baggie. Still have a few unopened Skinn packs from the 4p bonus pack. They are individually sealed, and I just opened a new pack. Still as moist as the 1st pack I opened mths ago.

wow- I found the skin wipes to be very moist and effective. maybe I got a good batch. the SKINN are the best I've used but also expensive. I'm using JM now because they are quality but cheaper.

I like the Skinn wipes better the other wipes I tried. I wish the 4 pack special would be offered again.

I have found that wipes tend to dry out no matter how carefully I seal them back up. I now put packages of wipes (both opened and unopened ones) in a zip lock bag.

@Lucky Duck Keep your peeled. Dimitri returns to Evine July 15 - 18 for a slew of spots, celebrating his anniversary. It wouldn't surprise me if he brings the 4 pack back.

I use and buy the Equate brand. I just get the first layer of face makeup off. I just use a tiny bit of coconut oil with my Purity to get my eye makeup of, so I don't have to wipe hard or tug. I've never tried the Skinn wipes, but I may have to now.

I have never had a problem with Skinn wipes. In fact I love these wipes. I use my eye makeup remover first, then Skinn wipes then my Clarisonic. I tried Beekman wipes a few months ago and hated them. Any wipe will dry out if the package doesn't close properly. Skinn does a nice job with their packaging.

@Lucky Duck, I saw a picture of his Anniversary show coming up and the wipes are included. I would bet he is including a double size.

I have been using the It Cosmetics Bye Bye makeup as a makeup remover and liked it. I got some of the Skinn wipes on Friday and OMG I LOVE these things. I wear quite a bit of makeup and one sheet removed it all.

When I did my second cleanse there was no trace of makeup on my sponge so I know those wipes do a good job. I always had makeup on my sponge after using the Bye Bye remover.

I first tried them with the 4 pack special and absolutely love them. They work well except on my Benefit mascara, for which I add Neutrogena blue eye makeup remover. Every one I've tried from the drugstore has an objectionable smell. Bring them back, Dimitri, and I will definitely stock up. The 4 pack, I mean.

I only had one package of the Skinn wipes but I loved them. They were such a pleasure to use, the best of the wipes I have tried so far. They were moist and just felt soft to the skin. Just loved them. I try and not use wipes anymore, but if I did, these would be it. I do find them a bit pricey though if there isnt special pricing.

@Jordan2

If they are a water based makeup remover, add a couple TBSP of water and cover well. Personally, I really like the Neutrogena wipes. and for about $6 a package, how can you go wrong?

@SilleeMee

If every brand you've tried have done this, then the problem is how you're storing them. I've never had makeup remover wipes dry out.
