Serum Infused Facial Wipes: How To Combine Cleansing With Skincare

The cleanser + serum combination you didn't know you needed!

Saurav Bhanot

Serum-infused facial wipes upgrade basic cleansing by combining makeup removal with targeted skincare on the go. These single-use pads are soaked in serums or essences that address concerns like dryness, dullness, clogged pores or uneven tone. While they don’t fully replace a proper cleanser, they offer a convenient way to wipe away grime while nourishing skin with active ingredients.

Why use regular face wipes when you can use serum wipes instead? Yes, in case you didn’t know, facial wipes now come induced with serums (and other skin-loving properties) making them perfect for when you’re on the go but still need to do your skincare. Not that you need them to replace your skincare products; think of these as an addition to your routine. At the end of the day, when you’re planning to wipe all that dust, sebum and grime from your face, don’t just do that but also nourish your skin at the same time.

What are serum face wipes? 

These are like your regular wipes, except that they’re packed with skin-loving formulas, be it serums, essence or some kind of treatment. They are disposable, so you use them once and promptly get rid of them after. 

How do serum facial wipes work?

Serum wipes work at nourishing your skin while cleansing them of all impurities. They’re made of a soft fabric so as to not seem too harsh upon use. Depending on your skincare needs, you can choose serum wipes of your choice: ones with micellar water are great for cleansing, wipes with hyaluronic acid or ceramides are ideal for moisture amplification, those with salicylic acid work at exfoliating the skin and wipes with niacinamide and/or vitamin c are superb for providing a brightening effect.

What to keep in mind when using serum face wipes?

A few things you must remember are: serum wipes might not be as effective as a cleanser when it comes to cleaning your face and/or removing make-up and if you have sensitive skin, you might want to avoid wipes that are alcohol-based or heavily scented to avoid the risk of getting triggered.
