These are nice basic cotton pads that do what they say on the tin. They are pretty soft and not scratchy like some other cotton pads can be and they don't leave cotton fluff all over my face.
These little pads do help you save product such as essence because they do not retain as much essence as hands or a cotton pad when applying. However, the size is so small that they are hard to grip when blotting on the skin. Also, it could make a wonderful "mask," but the size is again so small that it is awkward.
This was great! Nice and thin. It reminds me a lot of another brand! Great to use for a quick mask with toner!
