They perform basic cleansing and makeup removal, plus targeted actions like exfoliation, pore cleansing, oil control, brightening, and treating uneven tone or acne concerns.
Most wipes are pre‑moistened and often fragrance‑free or unscented, formulated with soothing or moisturizing agents (like vitamin E or pro‑vitamin B5), and may be labeled hypoallergenic or dermatologist/ophthalmologist‑tested; they are generally not flushable.
Cleansing balms are solid at first, melt into an oil on contact, then emulsify into a milky texture with water; they remove makeup without stripping and often leave skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and plumped.
They’re marketed to serve as a daily cleanser, an exfoliating treatment, and a short‑leave mask to help clear pores, improve blemishes, and brighten or even skin tone.
These devices combine mechanical exfoliation with suction and sometimes a hydrating mist to exfoliate and polish skin, extract blackheads/whiteheads, and deliver post‑treatment hydration.
