Cleansing wipes are the old faithful of the skincare game--as double cleanses and cleansing brushes become more and more popular, few of us regularly use wet tissues to wipe off makeup at the end of the day anymore, but no skincare or makeup set is complete without them. Wet wipes are crucial for touch ups around the eyes and brows, and in a pinch, they have multiple applications, from ad hoc brush cleaner to shower-in-a-packet when you're going camping. Beauty editors end up trying millions of wipes in the course of our career, which usually gives us a better handle on what's best both in terms of skincare quality and effective makeup removal. Here are the top five on my list right now.
Best for a splurge
If you’re able to splurge, you should really try Koh Gen Do’s Cleansing Spa Water Cloths ($16) at least once in your life–if they’re not sold out by the time you click through the link, that is. The ultimate in luxury cleansing wipes, the spa water is infused with calming minerals and herbs like rosemary, ginger, lavender and sage. Balancing and purifying without over-stripping, these cleansing wipes are often seen in the makeup bags of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar beauty editors. These cloths remove even the most stubborn makeup, all without irritating the skin.
