    I genuinely hoard these

    These sheets are so near & dear to my heart that I stock up on them…..things are crazy here with the weather & the country in general so even if Armageddon occurs, at least I will have my hoard of cotton sheets. Anytime I purchase something from Sephora or the official Shiseido website I always throw a bag (sometimes 2) in the cart to store away bc I love them that much & I go through them so quickly. Plus, my little guy is on the spectrum and he loves rubbing these on his face bc they are soft…they are also great for wiping syrup off his face since he likes the feeling of the sheets. I also don’t have to worry about them causing any irritation for him since they are safe to use on sensitive skin. These squares feel like a pillow bc they are that cushiony & plump. There is no fraying, fuzzies, uneven or textured areas at all that you sometimes get with drugstore cotton rounds/squares. Absorption of products is balanced to the point of still being able to apply a generous amount of product onto the face. I use these for many different things that is not just solely for the face bc they are so versatile. A quick “flash cleanse” at home with micellar water, lotion, etc…applying toners, essences, creating treatment packs/masks, pre-soaked with cleansing water to take on the go for a quick wipe off after exercising, applying cuticle cream, removing nail polish (sometimes soak squares then wrap around nails to let sit for a bit if polish is being stubborn), spraying w/perfume to store in dresser etc. During the Summer I soak a few pads in Aloe Vera to apply to the back of my guy’s neck after he has finished mowing or working in the field if he has gotten a bit of a sunburn. Do not have to worry about the sheet ripping or disintegrating even when introduced to warm water. The delicateness is safe for use around the eyes while not having to worry about any irritation (I always have a pack in w/my “eye make up” remover products, I don’t wear makeup but I l still like using certain removers marketed for “the eyes”). For me…I reach for these more than any other luxe brand that also has cotton pads/squares. Chanel & Clé de peau are often mentioned as being much like Shiseido only better…I have all three brands and if I was told I could only choose one to use, it would be Shiseido without even needing to give it a second thought. If you’re someone who enjoys higher end products or your skin is reactive when it comes to using the average cotton pad, the $12 for 165 sheets would probably be worth it to you, but, if your skin is ok using the average cotton sheet/round/square etc you may see these as a waste of money. There is a 40 count available though for around $5 that you could purchase just to try if you don’t mind paying a bit extra for cotton sheets.

    Must have!

    This is incredibly soft and thick so I often split into 2 pieces to save cost and less waste. Great treat for your skin! I have been buying it over and over again.

    Sooo soft!

    These cotton pads are a game-changer!

    They are the softest cotton pads I have ever felt! Definitely worth the money, as they do not fall apart or flake away when using them.

    I totally recommend!!!

    Lil Blankets

    Love love LOVE these. First pack and I dont think ill ever go back to other cotton pads. Other ones leave little fuzzies, hairs and debri on my face. These ones are sooo smooth. They dont shed or tear. My toner goes on much more smoothly and clean. They're also not as dry (idk how). I cant get over how soft they are! Its like wiping my face with a little blanket!! They're a lot thicker than I expected and feel luxurious. Theyre so thick i feel like I can also use them as gauze if I injure myself 😂. Its worth the extra $ in my opinion. You get a lot of them. PRO TIP: i cut mine in half - Theyre big enough to do so - because its better for the environment (less wasteful) and better for my wallet 😁

    Does the job

    These are the best cotton pads ever! Definitely my HG! They just seem so much softer than other cotton pads. And they feel so gentle on my skin when removing makeup! It’s important to me that I’m gentle with my skin, especially around my eyes, so thank God for these!

    Definitely Worth the Money!!

    If you have not tried the Shiseido Facial Cotton you don't know what you are missing. They are a must have for your beauty routine. I heard so many influencers recommend these but was reluctant to buy them because they are a lot more expensive than the cotton pads that you can buy at the drug store. Finally gave in and tried these for the first time about a year ago now and will never go back to regular cotton pads.

    I use these with my eye make-up remover, micellar water and toner. They are so much softer on my skin than regular cotton pads which is perfect for use around your delicate eye area to remove your eye make-up. I also like that how they absorb product which allows it to gently glide across your skin.

    If you are questioning whether these are worth it just pick up a package and you can feel the softness. I promise you once you give them a try you will never go back to drugstore cotton pads.

    Loved it!

    These are the best cotton pads ever! I'm never going back to those cheap, drugstore cotton rounds. These are so soft and works so well. It is a little pricey, so I am on the lookout for a good dupe. To stretch it out, I split one pad in two. Even then, when split and much thinner, it still works just as well and doesn't break down.

    I received some of these as a sample from Shoppers Drug and wow! These are pure luxury, so soft and a nice generous size. They are perfect for removing eye makeup or applying toner. They feel like a pillow and do not scratch or pull at my face. I was sad when I ran out of them and would purchase them as a special treat again.

    These are my favorite cotton pads on the market, and I believe they are worth every penny. With other competitors, I could use three-four pads when I removed my makeup. With these, I only use one - front and back. When I use them for nail polish removal, again - I only use one pad! Although the price point is higher, you'll go through them much slower.

    The pads are incredibly soft, and do not leave cotton residue on the face or nails. Others pads have tried to imitate the consistency of them with no luck. I have repurchased these several times and continue to do so.

    These Cotton Pads are very pricey but they are so worth it and you actually get quite a few pads in a package.
    They feel amazing against your skin and very soft. They also do not fall apart, rip or leave any little cotton residue or "fluffys" on your face or on my counter. They also hold up very well when wet and absorb cleaners or micellar waters well. These are a higher price point but I feel they cleanse my skin better than other cotton pads and so I am able to use less when cleansing also. I have tried the Quo version of these from Shoppers Drug Mart and the Quo ones are nicer than your traditional cotton pads but they were not near as soft and durable as the Shiseido.
    I have also used these to remove my nail polish and again, no cotton residue or fluffys. These would be really good to use if you are doing gel nails or nail art because you won't get much cotton on the nail.
