LOVE IT!!!
Does this work as well as blotting sheeting (i.e. Clean and Clear wipes)? No. I'm not going to lie. It does NOT remove as much oil as the sheets do. BUT - it removes enough of it that I get rid of the vast majority of the shine, then just add some powder and voila! Oil free/shine free face.<br />I have extremely oily skin - so if it works for me, I honestly believe it will work for anyone.<br />The reason I am giving it a full five stars despite the fact that it does fall just a tad short of blotting sheets is because of the convenience and discretion! Every damn pack of Clean and Clear wipes cost me 4-5 bucks, and I'd go through a pack in about two weeks. Not to mention, I was embarrassed to use blotting sheets in front of anyone else - at work, etc. - because it's just gross. I don't want everyone seeing the see-through splotch of oil that just came off my face. With this blotting sponge/compact, it just looks like I'm fixing up my makeup! No shame necessary.<br />I use each sponge for about a week, then wash that one and switch to the other one for a week, etc.<br />Honestly one of the best purchases I've made. Wish I had known about this thing years ago.
