AMW Reviews: Celeteque Hydration Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes

Imagine yourself in my situation...
Baby is wide awake until 3:00am, I had to wake up around 5:00am to feed him and express milk, then proceed to my day job until 6:00pm.  Sometimes, when I plan to take a quick nap, I don't like the feeling of having makeup on!  Do I wash my face?  No, I'll end up wide awake and I don't think my tired eyes will appreciate that!

That's where makeup remover wipes come in!  I do not use them as my "main" makeup remover but I love how versatile they are to remove not only makeup mid-day but they refreshes me in an instant!  There are so many brands of makeup remover wipes out there but I seem to have a favorite!

Pros
  • Lightly scented.
  • Has a refreshing feel after use.
  • Can remove regular makeup.
  • Doesn't dry out the skin.
  • Skin looks refreshed, has a bit "brightening" effect because of the boost of moisture. 
  • Hypo-allergenic.  I do not have any allergic reactions after finishing a pack.
  • Can remove dirt and oil.
Cons
  • The scent stays for at least an hour or so.  This is a con for people who dislikes wipes that are scented.
Neutral
  • The product is said to be clinically proven to improve smoothness of the skin in just 2 weeks, I've used this for more than 2 weeks and I can't really tell for now if there's any improvement.
Overall
A nicely scented cleansing facial wipes that works in removing regular makeup (non-waterproof), dirt and oil.  It keeps the skin refreshed and hydrated.

Tips
from Celeteque
  • Gently glide the wet tissue over the face and neck in upward or circular strokes until the skin surface is clean. 
  • Keep eyes closed to prevent irritation.
 from AMW
  • Store the facial pack in a fridge for a more refreshing feel.  The cold facial wipes also help keep your pores tighten thus having the appearance of lesser pores.
  • Start by "spot" removing makeup (brow powders, eyeshadows, blush powders, face powder etc...  Fold the Cleansing Facial Wipes and gently massage the wipe all over your face with a circular motion.  
  • If you have sensitive skin, test the product first on your lower jaw and see if there's any allergic reactions.
  • Gently massage, do not rub your skin hard.
  • If you are a waterproof makeup wearer, remove waterproof makeup with your favorite makeup remover, proceed by using Celeteque Hydration Make-Up Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes on the rest of your face for an instant boost of moisture and added makeup removal. 
  • Seal the pack immediately after grabbing 1 cleansing wipe.  Store it upside down so the "top" cleansing wipe gets more of the "liquid".  
  • To keep the cleansing wipes from drying out, store them inside a "tupperware" to prevent evaporation.
  • This cleansing wipe can also be use before makeup application, sometimes, our skin tends to oil up immediately after washing, I like to use this on clients before applying makeup.
  • Do not skip washing your face before going to bed!  Washing your face with facial wash and water is still the way to go!
Will I repurchase?
Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Everyone!  Even non-makeup wearers.

  3. Great review! <3 Just wanna ask tho, if I have oily skin, is it alright if I use this as a cleanser by midday? Or should I just resort to blotting sheets? :/
