DHC Silky Cotton - 3 Pack

I thought I had already reviewed these DHC pads, but maybe it was for a single box. Anyway, these are the best -- cotton wrapped in some kind of "silky" outer covering, meaning they are the perfect balance of absorbent, yet not too much so that your product goes mostly into the pad and not on your face (or elsewhere). Because of the outer layer, these absolutely positively never shred, I promise you! I have a large stash of boxes of DHC Silky Cotton, since it's now impossible to find cosmetic puffs that are *not* 100% cotton -- those absorb way too much liquid and are so wasteful. I have also purchased a huge (2000 ct.) box of triple-size all-rayon puffs, but those are not well made, they unravel and they leave little bits of rayon on the face. And I'm embarrassed to admit to you that I also bought a box of 5000 small rayon balls, equally as useless, also for toners and such on my face. Aaagh!The DHC pads are 2.5 inches x 2 inches (I just measured them). As another reviewer noted, you can turn the pad over and use that, which I do quite often. Sometimes that saves having to grab a second pad when you're applying makeup remover or toner. I highly recommend these for daily use when you finally get tired of those darn little cotton bits stuck to your face from allegedly wonderful all cotton pads or balls. And this is a very good price, considering the DHC pads are slightly more expensive on their site, and here we get free shipping. Yay for free shipping, yay for Amazon, YAY for DHC Silky Cotton!

Cost for these on prime membership so much better than buying directly from DHC (which I used to do till I found them on Amazon!). I saved a few dollars for each box, and even more on shipping! These are my favorite "cotton" pads. I hate cotton balls due to all the fibers it leaves behind. the flat square or round cotton pads are not much better - still have fibers, and they're not very "cushiony" like the cotton balls are...so when I discovered these silky cotton pads....perfect solution. Flat, but soft due to the cushion inside...no fibers to deal with, and the surface area of these are quite ideal for using with eye makeup remover. I can use one pad to remove both eyes' makeup (use both sides of the pad). I won't go back to normal cotton pads or balls, unless quality or fibers aren't an issue for that particular application - anywhere but my face.

Quite disappointed in the cottons as they simply absorb most of the liquid we use be it face toner, nail polish remover, etc. this is problematic as we can't use the liquid for the intended purpose as it soaks through to the inner part of the pad so the top is dry. U have to use so much more liquid than if you used another cotton round. They are nice and soft against the skin no dragging or rough cotton against the skin which was nice. Another Good point is it is lint free which is wonderful. But those good points are moot when you can't use the liquid you just put onto the pad because it absorbed it all. I use twice even three times the Amt of liquid toner with this cotton pad as opposed to the Shisheido or Sephora house brand cotton rounds. We will not repurchase due to the issue with soaking up too much liquid

Took forever to get here, almost forgot about them. I will reorder them with time for shipping. They are so much better than the cotton rounds I've been using. The only thing that has come close has been the Shiseido Facial Cotton. Sometimes they have pulled apart on me. I have to be a bit careful with the edges of the DHC Silky Cotton around my eyes, but they don't fall apart, are absorbent without all the liquid being stuck way down in the pad and unusable.

All round favorite cotton pad EVER and I've tried a whole range of brands from nameless drugstore to Muji, Shiseido, and Clé de Peau. I love that each pad has a pocket in the back in which I can insert my fingers which makes application infinitely easier. The perforated edges and smooth lining covering the cotton in the pad also amounts in no pilling and fluff. The density of the pad is just right - substantial enough to not fall apart but also thin enough to not absorb too much product. I use this to remove makeup, apply toners, and remove nail polish. Absolutely devoted for life.

I really like these pads! Normally I use them for toners and makeup removal, and these hold up so well that I am actually able to use one pad at least twice (once in the morning/evening for the toner, and once again later for makeup removal with a micellar solution). It is soft and durable, and comes in boxes that are meant to actually contain the pads as you use them (non-flimsy, is what I mean). The value is attractive at approximately 7¢/pad, and saves the hassle of purchasing from the DHC website where you need to pay shipping for any order under $65.

These are so great. I have super delicate skin that bruises like a peach & I'd thought I couldn't use cotton pads to remove makeup because always before they scratched & tore up my eyelids & left my skin feeling raw & sore. Not so with these! So gentle. I also love the little pocket for your fingers so you're not mixing finger dirt with face dirt. A bit pricey for such a simple product but there are a ton in each box & you get three boxes. I only require one of them to do my whole face so I'd say it's worth it for sure.

I do love these pads because they don't pill or fall apart. With that said, for some reason, these pads feel just the slightest bit rougher then my box that I bought straight from the DHC website last year. Nonetheless, it still functions alot better then other pads I've used and I would continue to buy.
