Taking to Facebook's Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Margaret McInnes piled on the praise for a pack of Nuage Hayfever Relief Wipes, which will set you back just 89p from the likes of Savers and Chemist4U. In her post, she wrote: "Just a tip for anyone who suffers badly from hay fever.
"My son has tried everything going but these wipes gave him his life back!"
She added: "The wipes are soaked in peppermint and tea tree oil so really soothe the skin and eyes and trap the pollen."
The pack of thirty wipes is said to alleviate symptoms of dreaded hayfever, as well as help aid those who have dust or pet allergies. Listed on Lloyds Pharmacy, the product description of the wipes reads: "Nuage hay fever and allergy wipes work by gently removing pollen and dust from the skin.
"The wipes are enriched with peppermint and tea tree oil and are ideal for daily use and use on the face and hands. The 30 allergy wipes come in a resealable package to help keep them fresh and moist."
And a number of other people who have found success with the product were quick to comment on Margaret's post, which quickly racked up more than 4,000 likes and 8,000 comments. One wrote: "Thankyou so much for sharing. I ventured to B&M yesterday and managed to get some of these.
"I had used them last year and forgot all about them. Thank you so much, my hayfever has suddenly become really bad and these were a Godsend. Thanks again x."
Another, added: "I've been using these when pollen has been really high and they are amazing defo getting a few more packets in to keep in my bag etc x," while a third, went on: "For anyone’s who’s slightly sceptical.. not sure why you would be but I have to admit, these are the best things I’ve ever bought for my hay fever, they’re really effective and get to work quick!"
As well as Savers, you can pick up a pack of the Nuage wipes from a number of online retailers for a price point of £1 or less.
