Soaked in gel, micellar water and cleansing milk, designed for all skin types and necessary on the road, at the gym and at work - the BeautyHack editors tested the best make-up remover wipes and delivered their verdict.
Wipes for removing makeup Long Wear Make-Up Remover Wipes, Estée Lauder
Tested by BeautyHack Creative Director Ksenia Wagner
“In short, Estée Lauder wipes are the best thing you can think of for removing make-up in the gym, in the car, and in general wherever you need to act clearly, quickly, without noise and dust,” says the chef. The formula of the emulsion, which the wipes are impregnated with, is specially designed for removing waterproof and long-lasting make-up and is approved by ophthalmologists (for me personally, this is important - I can’t stand the “rip out eyes” effect, which many makeup removers sin in).
The impregnation is so intense (and slightly oily) that the fabric glides over the skin quickly and easily - no rubbing, no pressure, etc. To “dissolve” several layers of mascara and a black pencil, two napkins were enough for me (45 in a pack). The face turned slightly red, but no more than after the usual cleansing procedure, and after five minutes it looked as usual.
The second plus is the moisturizing effect. After cleansing, there is no tightness, the skin does not scream “sos! More like a cream! and generally feels comfortable (there is no oily film either). To be honest, I even skipped the cream - and those with normal skin can do the same. It is doubly convenient on the train, car, plane - or even on the run, when you urgently change your make-up, say, from evening to nude.
The third "bravo" is the packaging. To pull out the napkin, I had to pant - and that's a plus! Because in insufficiently sealed packages, the fabric dries instantly. Well, and from the pleasant little things - shameful fragrances (freshness!) And comfortable material: napkins are soft and plastic, I easily got to every corner of my face."
Price: 2,000 rubles.
Make-up remover wipes Demi-Wipes, M. A. C
Tested by BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva
“On vacation, I am the laziest person to care for. It is not difficult for me to walk 20-25 kilometers a day, but I cannot spend more than five minutes on cleansing the skin. I always take make-up remover wipes with me, which in a couple of strokes helps to cleanse the skin.
Demi-Wipes are just like that: two wipes are enough for me to remove all the remnants of makeup on my face (as a rule, these are dark shadows, BB cream, mascara, highlighter, bronzer, blush). This entire set of napkins can be easily washed in a matter of minutes and do not leave marks (and also the feeling of tightness of the skin, which is what many alternatives sin with). After use, I always wash my face with warm water - I feel the remnants of oil on my face (although it is not in the composition, there is vitamin E). In a convenient sealed package, 30 pieces of napkins will definitely be enough for a vacation."
Price: 1 300 rub.
Pads for removing makeup Dermaclear Micro Make-up Remover Pads, Dr. Jart +
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
“It would seem that what could be more convenient than make-up remover wipes? The Korean brand Dr. Jart + has taken a step further and not only helped not to bother washing, but also soaked cotton pads with the cleanser for you. By the way, they are impregnated with the micellar water of the same name, which equally delicately relieves both BB cream and black waterproof arrows (look for another 18 best micellar products here).
If I always leave the classic napkins on the bedside table, in case of total powerlessness and laziness, then I will definitely take the discs with me on the road. They will not take up much space, will not dry out ahead of time (each disc is packed in a sachet) and will not irritate the skin even after sunbathing due to the hydrogen-rich formula. By the way, opening a sachet, you expect a disc soaked through and through and the remnants of micellar water dripping onto your dress, but this is not the case. The product is soaked perfectly - it does not flow, but does not force the skin to stretch, but glides over it perfectly."
Price: 1 480 rub.
Make-up remover wipes Essentials, Artistry
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
“The product is absolutely universal in all respects. Use in two cases:
A) Take on any, even the shortest trip. The packaging of the products is hermetically sealed, and contains vitamin E, which protects the skin from the negative effects of the sun and additionally moisturizes it (and not only in the sun, because any trip is a great stress for the skin).
B) Use as an additional step in leaving. Even waterproof makeup is perfectly removed. Girls with any type of skin will like it and will not leave behind a feeling of dryness, tightness, oily film and irritation. In addition, they are very pleasant to the touch - the delicate fabric is generously impregnated with a cleansing gel (to remove even bright makeup, you do not need to rub the skin).
Price: 635 rub.
Yuzu Makeup Removing Wipes, Sephora Collection
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
“One of the best inventions for those who are constantly on the road - make-up remover wipes. You don't need to carry micellar water vials and cotton pads with you. This beauty product is ideal for travelers, as it is not always convenient to remove or renew makeup on the road.
Sephora napkins are the most practical product. Even the most stubborn makeup can be tackled with just one napkin. The package has a convenient plastic flap that prevents the wipes from drying out. After application, you do not feel a burning sensation and tightness of the skin, and all because Yuzu refreshes and tones up. My advice is to buy them before your vacation and put them in your purse."
Price: 420 rub.
Exfoliating wipes Pure Clean Scrub & Peel Wipes, Kiko Milano
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
“Wipes from Kiko Milano have become a real boon for me - the owner of the combined skin type. Although the product is suitable for everyone, those who know firsthand about blackheads and oily shine during the day will be especially pleased. Firstly, the wipes are double-sided: the soft side refreshes the skin, literally leaving a slight chill, and the second one exfoliates due to the fine relief.
It is these "pimples" on the napkin that get rid of dead cells, but be prepared for the effect of a bone scrub, not a delicate roll. The polishing is powerful, so I use the product only in the T-zone - where there are most imperfections. But the result, as they say, is obvious - the skin becomes smooth and begins to breathe. A huge bonus for me was the fact that after using the napkin it is not necessary to wash - just apply your usual moisturizer."
Price: 490 rub.
Cleansing wipes Glacial Cloths, Skyn Iceland
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
“Elena Krygina's favorite brand has already won the hearts of many. Indeed, the composition of all products is natural and made on the basis of Icelandic glacial water. The first thing I liked is that the wipes do not require rinsing. When in contact with the skin, they form a light foam that is absorbed into the skin. The manufacturer points out that kelp, cucumber and white willow extract in the composition can soothe even sensitive skin.
On myself, I felt a slight tingling: I probably overdid it to cleanse my skin. The aroma of the napkins is light and pleasant, smells clean. The skin after them is soft, even moisturized. It is important that they do not provoke inflammation and breakouts like many other cleansing wipes. So Glacial Cloths can become your favorites not only when traveling, but also in everyday life."
Price: 1 150 rub.
Cleansing wipes for face and eye area, L'Oréal Paris
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
“Makeup remover wipes are an essential part of my beauty routine. I always take them with me on trips (with them you can remove makeup, dirt or just freshen up in any situation). But one package invariably lies on the nightstand by the bed - in case I can't go to wash, and make-up must be removed (why - read here).
For an extreme case, wipes in a pink sealed package are perfect - they gently remove makeup, gently cleansing the skin (after running a cotton pad with a tonic on the skin - no makeup residues were found). Napkins also give a feeling of freshness, which is not so often known for "colleagues in the shop". Even girls who need water to feel completely clean will love the napkins (and for everything else, there is thermal water!).
A big plus - the wipes do not irritate the sensitive skin under the eyes (feel free to apply them to this area, wait a few seconds until the active smoky eyes dissolve and remove the remnants with a fresh napkin). This is another argument to put them in a vacation cosmetic bag (napkins will take up less space than micellar water and milk, and will not spill in a suitcase, ruining your favorite dress). The only "but" - do not tighten with use: the napkins dry out quickly and lose their magical properties."
Price: about 300 rubles.
Make-up remover wipes Gently Off Wipes + Micellar Water, M. A. C
Tested by BeautyHack Senior Editor Anastasia Speranskaya
“Six months ago, M. A. C was pleased with a novelty - wipes for the most delicate skin cleansing. They came to the aid of those who, at least once after a stormy night, had the thought: "To wash it off or not to wash it off?" The answer is simple - wash it off! Moreover, it is very easy to remove makeup with napkins and you can do it anywhere - even in bed.
M. A. C wipes are designed to gently cleanse especially sensitive skin. The micellar water in the composition simultaneously cleanses and soothes, while the formula is very comfortable even for removing long-lasting eye make-up. The wipes are well saturated with the product, which means you don't have to stretch the skin like the movie character Jim Carrey from The Mask. A separate bonus is a sealed lid on the package, thanks to which the napkins will not dry out, and the liquid will not spill in the bag and will not ruin your mood."
Price: 2 600 rub.
Wipes for removing makeup Milk & Tonic Makeup Remover Wipes, Inglot
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
“Even when we say that a pack of cleansing wipes is several times lighter than a bottle of micellar water and fits easily into a women's purse, many are still skeptical about this information. Our handbags are different and I, as a lover of extremes, understand this - today a tote bag, and tomorrow something that looks more like a phone case. In general, a wallet cannot fit into such a crumb, let alone a pack of napkins. It was for us that Inglot came up with a mini-version of 10 Milk & Tonic napkins. These little ones will even fit into a jeans pocket.
Pros: removes waterproof makeup, suitable for owners of sensitive skin and lens wearers. Each napkin is generously impregnated with a moisturizer, the formula of which is enriched with provitamin B5, bisabolol and chamomile extract. Thanks to this composition, the product delicately removes makeup without leaving an oily sheen on the skin. Minus one - there are only 10! But there is a larger size (25 pieces) - so put a pack of each type in your suitcase and in your purse."
Price: 300 rub.
