The two-sided exfoliating wipes offer dual benefits. The exfoliating side gently eliminates impurities and dead skin cells thanks to integrated microbeads, while the other side cleanses and effectively removes all types of dirt and face makeup.

What is the texture like?

These are a soft, plush, silky wipe that has a nice thickness to it but isn't too thick. They're a nice size to remove all your makeup but are... fairly standard when it comes to wipes. 

Is it scented?

This has a that sweet, refreshing, slightly bitter citrus scent that yuzu has. It's really unique for those who haven't smelled yuzu before, kind of a cross between a sweet lemon and a grapefruit scent. I personally really enjoy it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

I absolutely love the way these smell, it's really invigorating and refreshing and I really like how they cleanse - they remove all your makeup off without leaving behind a heavy residue and are really well-saturated, which I appreciate. They leave my skin feeling refreshed, not stripped and while I still prefer to do a double-cleanse where I use the wipe first and then use a cleanser, they work just fine on their own if you're feeling lazy or just had a long day and don't want to deal with a whole routine at the sink. They also leave my skin with a really nice dewy, bright glow, which I appreciate. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
