I usually purchase very high end towels from Frontgate, but this time I needed a large quantity of white wash cloths signficantly less than $10 a wash cloth.   While I love my color towels,  color washcloths fade because of my daily and nightly skincare maintenance.  Based upon the reviews I was hopeful that these wash cloths would be thick and absorbent.  Upon delivery, I immediately washed and dried them. and was very disappointed that the towels didn't thicken up.  Perhaps with more washing/drying?  We shall see.  They will come in  handy simply for the fact that I will use them and will not worry that my retinA will not destroy the color..
