Beekman vs Philosophy wipes

Suzy Q from PA · ‎04-18-2010

Any thoughts about the Beekman facial wipes vs the Philosophy wipes.? I have tried both brands and think I prefer the Beekman. Philosophy wipes seem dry as compared to Beekman. Makeup removal seems more efficient with Beekman and I have not noticed any extra dryness of my skin.

@Suzy Q from PA - I use both. I like the Purity wipes to take off makeup initially, but often then follow with a Beekman wipe.

And the past couple of weeks, I've used the Beekman wipes a lot, while doing some house renovation work. They were great for a quick refresh during our hot weather.

I have a stockpile of both and was hoping the Beekman TS would've been the 100-ct wipes but, alas, no.

Sadly, Philosophy wipes are rather difficult to deal with. Every time you want to pull out just one wipe, two or three come out. You're left trying to cram them back into the package (not the best option nor most hygienic) or with more wipes than you need (wasteful). Using up what I have and moving on from Philosophy wipes.

Never tried Beekman wipes.

@Zoe - That's strange because I've never had that issue with the Philosophy wipes and I've been using them for years. I always get the 30-ct. with the snap closure, although I've had the occasional 15-ct in a set with other things. Don't know if that makes a difference.

@Venezia

I can't explain it, but it happens E-VE-RY TIME! Just this morning 3 wipes came out. And I am so careful to only slowly pull at one from the larger pack. Had it happen to 3 out of the last 3 packages.

Don't know why. But the usability is a 1 out of 10 for me, so I'll not be repeating that experience again.

Glad you have better luck. Enjoy!

Philosophy not Beekman

I just started using Perlier Black Rice Makeup wipes and I like them!

I have used and liked Philosophy but never Beekman. I don't use wipes all the time. They're convenient when I travel and when I want a change up.

I usually cleanse daily with Purity or Tatcha.

@Zoe This is the EXACT problem I have with the Beekman wipes!

I dont use any wipes. I either cleanse face with my regular cleanser or for times in a hurry I use a microfiber washcloth, and just water, takes off all makeup and eye makeup.
