7 Most Popular Japanese Facial Cleansing Wipes for Removing Makeup

When I lived in Japan, I sometimes used facial cleansing wipes to remove makeup. Cleansing wipes are great for traveling. I always kept ones in my bag while I was traveling. They are also perfect for lazy nights. :) When I worked for long hours and very tired in Japan, I used cleansing wipes. Right after coming back home, I wanted to remove makeup which I wore for 15 hours or so, but I was super tired to wash my face, so I turned on the TV and wiped my face with a cleansing wipe while watching it. :) It saved me many times in Japan.

Today, I'm going to share with you seven best Japanese makeup removing wipes, which were chosen based on Japanese women's reviews on @cosme, a huge Japanese cosmetic review site. If you are planning on getting Japanese facial cleansing wipes in Japan, you can find ones at drugstores there. I used to purchase Biore (ビオレふくだけコットン) and Softymo (ソフティモメイク落としシート) while they were on sale. They are usually 400 yen to 600 yen there. Travel size cleansing wipes can be purchased at less than 300 yen at convenience stores there.

No.1 MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Bright Up (ビフェスタ　うる落ち水クレンジングシートブライトアップ)

MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Bright Up

Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Bright Up is currently the most popular facial cleansing wipes on @cosme and Amazon Japan.

Bifesta Cleansing Sheets

It contains 46 facial cleansing sheets. Even though it is very affordable, each sheet is pretty large and very wet. :) They also sell water based makeup remover, Bifesta Cleansing Liquid, which is also popular in Japan.

Many Japanese women love Bifesta Cleansing Sheets because it is very affordable, easier than using liquid makeup remover, and removes all makeup and dead skins. It doesn't hurt your eyes.

No.2 MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Moist (ビフェスタ　うる落ち水クレンジングシートモイスト)　
Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Moist is also popular. This is perfect for people who have dry skin. Even if you don't use facial lotion after using this cleansing wipe, your skin won't dry up. :)

MANDOM Bifesta Cleansing Sheet Moist

Just like Bright one, it contains 46 large makeup removing sheets. Mandom also sell Bifesta Cleansing Liquid Moist, which is also loved by many Japanese women.

No.3 Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water Cloth (江原道クレンジングシート)
If you have sensitive skin and love fancy skin care products, this is perfect for you. Koh Gen Do skin care products are high-end and cannot be found at drugstores. You can purchase their products at some department stores such as Plaza, Loft and Tokyu Hands in Japan.

Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water Cloth

Koh Gen Do makeup removing wipes are made of 100% organic cotton. It contains Izumo Yumura spa water (出雲湯村温泉水), birch water, yomogi leaf extract, rosemary extract, lavender extract, sage leaf extract, shiso leaf extract and ginger extract. It removes all makeup without irritating your skin. This sheet was released after Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water, which is also very popular in Japan.

No.4 Kao Biore Makeup Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets Moisture rich (ビオレふくだけコットンうるおいリッチ)
Biore is one of skincare brands from Kao (花王). Kao is one of the largest Japanese cosmetic companies and was established in Tokyo in 1940. As you might know, you can find some Biore products in many countries now, but many of them can be found only in Japan.

Biore Makeup Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets Moisture rich

This contains 44 makeup removing sheets with hyaluronic acid serum which hydrates your skin.
It easily removes heavy makeup such as waterproof mascara. You don't have to wash your face after using this but should apply facial lotion after that.

No.5 Kao Biore Makeup Removing Cotton Sheet (ビオレふくだけコットン)
When I lived in Japan, I sometimes used this Biore Makeup Removing Cotton Sheet while I was traveling. It has 46 makeup removing sheets. I think most convenience stores in Japan have this in travel size, which has 10 sheets. When I forgot to bring it to my travel, I always purchased one at convenience store there. It saved me many times. :)

Kao Biore Makeup Removing Cotton Sheet

This removes makeup easily except for heavy waterproof makeup. You might want to use eye makeup remover for removing waterproof mascara.

No.6 Kose Softymo Makeup Cleansing Sheet White (ソフティモホワイトメイク落としシート)
I also sometimes used this Softymo Makeup Cleansing Sheet because it was often on sale at drugstores in Japan. You can probably find one at around 400 yen there. :) It has 52 makeup removing sheets.

Kose Cosmeport Softymo Makeup Cleansing Sheet (White)

I didn't notice any whitening effect by using this Softymo White one (Just like their cleansing oil series I mentioned in my previous entry.). Now, Softymo is selling 5 kinds of makeup removing sheets as its series, which are White, Hyaluronic Acid, Oil In, Collagen and Q10.

Softymo Cleansing Wipes

No.7 Kose Softymo Cleansing Cotton Honey Mild (ソフティモすご落ちメイク落としコットンハニーマイルド)
Softymo just released their new makeup removing wipes, Softymo Cleansing Cotton Honey Mild, this year. It is also very affordable (about 600 yen) and has 80 large sheets. To me, 80 sheets sound too many, but if you want to use makeup removing wipes everyday, it's perfect for you. It removes all makeups, and 5 kinds of honey hydrates your skin well.
