Abstract

The effects of facial cleansing wipes on skin have not been fully investigated. In this study, the effectiveness of these wipes on the removal of excessive sebum and on the improvement of male skin condition was examined. To evaluate the effect of the lotion contained in wet wipes, we prepared standard wet wipes (SWW) including water, ethanol and a surfactant with non-woven fabrics, moisture wet wipes (MWW) including water, ethanol, surfactant and polyol with non-woven fabrics, and non-woven fabric only as dry wipes (DRW). The effectiveness of MWW to remove excessive sebum was comparable to SWW and clearly more effective than DRW. The sebum removal of SWW was as high as that of facial cleansing cream in the forehead area, but it was inferior in the cheek area. Skin conductance was maintained when SWW was used after the first wash, while it was reduced when the face was washed again after the first wash. To further confirm these effects, a continuous application test was held. In subjects using SWW, there were no significant differences in skin conductance values before and after continuous application whereas the values of control subjects without treatment significantly decreased. These results indicate that the use of cleansing wipes prevents worsening of skin condition.
