Review: Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Makeup Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes

First blog post! First review! Yey! Here goes...

I recently went home to my parents' house in the province, and much to my dismay, I forgot to bring along my trusty makeup remover wipes.  So, I decided to buy some emergency facial wipes for my stay here.  I decided to purchase the product under review today, Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Make-up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes. Phew, that's a mouthful!

This is what the product looks like.

Packaging:  

The product is in a typical and simple plastic packaging with a resealable opening, like most wet wipes. Considering that there are 20 wipes included, it's quite lightweight and travel-friendly.

Ingredients:

You guys can check out the list of ingredients below.  This product contains paraben, so it is not advisable for those who are going au naturel with their face products. It also has a bit of artificial fragrance in, which I was able to smell when I wiped it on my face.  It smells like a combination of alcohol and flowery scent (if that makes any sense haha).

Claims:

On the Celeteque website, it claims that:

CELETEQUE DermoScience™ Hydration Make-Up Remover Wipes gently removes make-up, excess sebum and dirt that may clog skin pores. It hasActive Skin Hydrators that help boost skin’s level of moisture. It is convenient to use anytime anywhere.

The Test

Just an intro, before I go into the test results, I have oily skin around my T-zone. My U-zone is pretty normal. I'm also acne-prone around my nose, upper lip and chin area.  Because of the treatment I've been applying to treat my acne, my upper lip area is dry.

Today was a light makeup day for me. I only used my Clinique face powder and Etude House lipstick.  Before going on to my night routine, I wiped the makeup off of my face and here's the outcome.

Ewww, all that gunk!

It did take the makeup off quite well off my face, but it gave me awful stings around my the dry areas of my face.  The stings lasted for a good 3-5 minutes.  That was a very bad downside, since I expected this product to be moisturizing.  Because of that, I didn't even dare wiping it unto my eye area.

The Verdict

I would give this product a 2.5 out of 5 stars.  

Will I repurchase this product again? Probably not. I found this product quite harsh on my dry patches. My skin can have an on-and-off sensitive phase even in the most humid weathers.  I don't think the Hydrators actually worked on me because I did find that my dry patches are even more drier the next morning. :(  However, if you have normal skin, then this product might work for you. 

Pros:

• very affordable - It retails for only Php160.00 at Watsons
• lightweight and travel-friendly
• removes basic makeup around the face efficiently

Cons:

• products seem to be harsh especially for sensitive skin
• alcohol-like smell
• not advisable to be used around the eye area

So, that's it for my first-ever product review. I hope you found this informative. If there are any other products that you would like me to review, leave it on the comments section down below, and I'll check it out.
