Simple Cleansing Wipes Pros and Cons:
+ Very affordable, generally priced £3 but often on offer (2 for £4) at Superdrugs
+ Good job at taking off basic makeup, including eyeliner
+ Does not sting or cause even my overly sensitive skin any redness
+ Alcohol and perfume free (these are generally drying ingredients so most people would find that these wipes aren't drying)
- Can't rely on these wipes alone to take off ALL your makeup - you'd still need to use a facial wash afterwards (if you wear heavy foundation you'd definitely need to use the extra face wash)
- Dries out within 4-6 weeks
Nivea Cleansing Facial Wipes Pros and Con:
(Note: I've used the types for Normal/Combination Skin and For all skin types and I like both but am reviewing For all skin types)
+ Affordable - £3 at Superdrugs
+ Good job at taking off most makeup without needing to drag all over skin
+ Does not sting even my sensitive skin
+ Alcohol, perfume and oil free
+ Leaves my skin feeling very balanced - there's no tight feeling or any greasy tinge left.
+Textured sheet which is different and feels like it gets into all the creases of your skin
+Textured sheet which is different and feels like it gets into all the creases of your skin
- Dries out within around 3-4 weeks
Result: As you can see these wipes are very similar! They do exactly the same job and neither cause any adverse reactions on my skin which generally has reactions to a lot of skincare items. I think Simple would beat out Nivea simply on price and the fact that if I kept both for 3 months (I use mine up within a few weeks but lets just suppose I kept an open packet of each brand's wipes for 3 months) Simple wouldn't dry out as much as the Nivea would. But I'm glad I still tried the Nivea ones, and if they're on offer in future I'll pick them up alongside the Simple.
