Alba Botanica Natural Acne Dote Clean n Treat Daily Cleansing Towelettes

Hi friends

How are you doing today? We are finally back on track after a long, tiring yet wonderful vacation. Luckily we grabbed another opportunity to make a short trip and attend a big fat wedding last weekend, a Punjabi traditional wedding party.. my most awaited moment. It’s been long since I enjoyed wedding fun, naach gaana and above all delicious food! I totally thank my sister in law for this wonderful opportunity of meeting up in her cousin’s wedding and exploring great Indian cultures on one table. I know it has been tough for her to accept our Kumaouni culture being a Punjabi at heart. Seriously nothing beats their signature Punjabi dhol which sparks unknown shamelessness in your personality and you just want to move & shake your body no matter what.

Anyways, before I start creating hoopla about the dhol let’s get straight to my review. Today I will share another most used up and appreciated stuff from alba botanica throughout my trip.

Alba botanica seems decent drugstore brand for every beauty and I like their products for their sls free, paraben free formulation mostly. However like any decent brand their products are either hit or totally a miss for me! Thankfully their Acne dote clean n treat facial towelettes are hit for me which totally eased my CTM routine during vacations. So please read on further to know more about Alba botanica natural acne dote clean n treat daily facial towelettes..:)

Price: $ 5.97 for 30 moist facial wipes, price may store to store

Packaging: These moist facial wipes are enveloped inside ordinary plastic pouch reseal packaging to maintain their hygiene and easy usage. It does have slight coconut oil infused smell which is not overpowering but might be bothersome for few gals! Over all it’s quite user friendly and travel friendly stuff.

My take on Alba Botanica Natural Acne Dote Clean N Treat Daily Cleansing Towelettes:

These facial wipes are nicely hydrated and super soft to clean away dirt and oil off from face without any tugging and pulling sessions apart from clearing face make up. Though, I usually refrain myself from rubbing it over eyes and lips as it gives me slight discomfort. It really clears my face make up gently in few strokes without any hustle bustle of rubbing hard on my sensitive skin. They are quite big and wide to cover my face and neck at one go.

I used it mostly during my stay outside when I was too skeptical to use public washroom or our host’s bathroom.. 😛 Well that’s how we girls are aren’t we? I used to reach back home all tired and hungry and thinking of CTM routine just exaggerated my pain. Thankfully these cleansing wipes came to my rescue and I used them at night to cleanse off make up and dirt before going to bed. Moreover, I could clearly notice traces of dirt and my primer, foundation on these wipes which totally increased my trust on this stuff. I did not experience any zits or blemishes after using it. However I never felt a need of night moisturizer after using these wipes.

Apart from bedtime, I used them as refreshing towels during day time and they really helped me in getting rid of scorching heat and shine from face. Though I used to follow it with moisturizer and face powder occasionally! The disclaimer says to start with one application daily then gradually increasing to 2-3 usages but I always started with 2 usages daily and it never irritated or dried my sensitive skin. In fact I felt that it smoothed out and gently invigorated my oily skin which helped me to get clean, soft and smooth skin throughout my trip.

I would not say that it deeply cleanses skin as it cannot help in getting rid of black heads/white heads i.e it may not replace your facial cleanser completely but it certainly helps in mildly exfoliating and cleaning temporarily. It is a must have stuff for travelling and trips especially for oily, acne prone skin beauties as I fear the salicylic acid & other natural ingredients in its formulation might bother dry skin, problem free skin gals. Over all it’s a winner for me and I cannot think of my next trip without these facial wipes honestly.

Cons of Alba Botanica Natural Acne Dote Clean N Treat Daily Cleansing Towelettes:

• It is not good for removing eye makeup and lip make up as it might cause discomfort while using on eye & lip area
• It might not be good for dry skin gals
• It’s deep cleansing claims are slight exaggerated as it only gives topical and temporary relief unlike deep cleansing facial cleansers
• It won’t heal existing zits though it won’t accentuate them as well

Well I am really happy and satisfied with my purchase this time and I will definitely consider them again in my next vacation and shopping list as well! Even I often use them at night when I am super tired and need break from regular CTM routine these days. For me these are must have and I will give them 4.5/5 overall. For oily, acne prone skin gals it is a boon totally!
