Review (5/5): Deserving of a much higher rating
These are bamboo fiber pads, NOT cotton pads- they are better for the environment than cotton ones. They are not bleached, which is why they come in a natural brownish hue. Yes, they are very thin, which is why absorbency is amazing and you waste less product. You will have to get the hang of using a much thinner pad than you are used to. Tip: using two pads will make it easier to spread across your face than one! You get 1000 of them, so even if you use 2 each time that's like 500 pads!
Honestly don't get what is up with the negative reviews, which is why even though I don't normally leave reviews, I felt obligated to do so. I repurchased months ago, use twice daily and still have many months worth left. On top of using this for my toner I also use these as lens wipes for my glasses since they are non-scratchy. Would repurchase in a heartbeat!
