Product Review: Clean & Clear Lemon Cleansing Wipes

The Front of the Lemon Cleansing Wipes


The bright yellow packaging is very eye catching, and the text gives a simple explanation that is easy to follow along. The claims on the back are questionable, though. The wipes are on the drier side, but highly fragranced.

The scent is very similar to limoncello, and the wipes are incredibly fragranced  to the point where my skin still smelled like lemons several minutes after use. The wipes will still smell like lemons for several hours afterwards... They could almost be used as a room fragrance! Luckily I didn't find the fragrance to irritate my skin.

The packaging claims the wipes are gentle enough for use around the eye area, which I don't agree with.  The wipes removed the majority of my makeup but I was unable to remove my mascara or eyeliner without excessive rubbing - which actually hurt my skin. I felt like the wipes were slightly abrasive. I tested both sides of the wipe and encountered the same abrasive feeling.

Overall, I think the wipes are fine but I wouldn't repurchase them, nor would I encourage anyone else to buy them. In fact, I have completely removed any sort of single-use cloth products from my makeup routine as they are incredibly harmful for the environment.

Additional Information: The packaging it is not recyclable or biodegradable, nor are the wipes within. That means every aspect of this product will end up in a landfill. Also, while Clean and Clear claims to not test on animals, they do include the universal claim "except where required by law", which means ultimately they are NOT cruelty free.

I received this product for free through Influenster, but I have not let this sway my opinion or lend any bias to my review. #MyZestSkin
