Nay or Mixed?

Nay
I've never liked their products. They're basic and they don't evolve with the times. [...] The brand isn't interested in evolving with new science within skincare. Nobody really uses their wipes.

They also tend to be loaded with preservatives and fragrance to stay shelf stable, which is the last thing you want sitting on your skin all night. Are they better than nothing in a pinch on a night you're completely exhausted? Sure, as an emergency backup go for it.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
