Rael Cotton Pads for Face, Lint-Free Daily Skincare & Makeup Remover 200 Ct

Love them! They do not waste as much product as the traditional "cotton round". They are nice and soft but do have a little bit of texture.

I like the thin sponge-like material doesn't soak up and waste expensive toners or essences

I was disappointed with these cotton pads. I had high hopes for them, but they have pretty much been a complete letdown for me. The main issue is how poorly they perform. They are incredibly thin and feel flimsy, making them difficult to use effectively. They fall apart as you're swiping your face with them. When saturated with a peel or essence, they lose all their integrity, making your application a FRUSTRATING mess. The only nice feature is that they don't soak up and waste product like a thick cotton pad can. You'll end up having to use two or three pads anyways to get the job done properly, which means you will run out of the box twice as fast. That's incredibly inefficient if you ask me. I tried to see if I could think of something useful for them but my thinker is broken when it comes to this product. If you tried real hard, which you cant because you absolutely have to be gentle- to be as light as a feather, they might work for your light or "mask-type" application of toner or essence. Or you can just do yourself a favor and search for something else. Search for something that is lint-free, non-tearing or esthetic wipes.

I’ve been using Rael Skin Care Cotton Pads, and they’ve quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The size is perfect—large enough to be versatile but still easy to work with. I love that they can be cut in half to make them last longer, and they’re ideal for localized DIY sheet masks. The pads are super absorbent and hold a generous amount of product, making them efficient and mess-free. I snagged a box of 200 on sale for $7.99, which felt like a great deal. My only wish is that they were a bit more affordable at regular price, but I’m happy to keep an eye out for sales and stock up when I can. Overall, these cotton pads are a great value for their quality and versatility. Highly recommend!

Soft but very very VERY thin. It was easy to use less product but also awkward to hold while trying not to have it roll up some as you move around. It slows me down considerably and while these are super soft and nice quality I wouldn’t repurchase these. If they were a little bit larger for me to more firmly keep it in place between my fingers I would like them more.

The Rael Beauty facial pads are, I think, my favorite pads I have ever tried. They only pill after heavy use (on my face, neck, chest, AND arms), and when they do, the pilling doesn't flake off onto the skin but rather stays attached to the pad. They are very slim, so one package will last me a much longer time than any amount of typical cotton pads even taking up twice the amount of space. Lastly, they are very effective at dispersing product, so I go through my chemical exfoliant much more slowly than before, which I am very happy with. They are also visually pleasing, at least as far as a product like this can go. If you are worried about going zero-waste, I still recommend getting reusable facial pads. I was going to go this route, but I am not convinced there is a reusable pad out there that has such a nice sensorial experience and spreads my facial product so effectively. And as I only use facial pads for my chemical exfoliant, about twice a week, this box will easily last me a year, which is much lower waste than other cotton pads where I would have to use 2-3 since they'd dry up and start pilling horribly. If I could only make one request, it would be for the brand to switch to hemp instead of cotton- hemp is much more environmentally sustainable than cotton, and much more financially viable (3x higher yield and requires much less water and pesticides). Hemp has had a pretty intense smear campaign against it in the past by cotton and paper companies because it is such a better material, by falsely associating it with drugs. But with the zero-waste movement becoming popular as more people are environmentally aware, an accessible and trendy brand like Rael could be the first in on a widely accessible hemp face pad, which would give them great business with the ever growing environmentally-conscious market for a fraction of the production costs. All the same, unless I find some hemp pads that provide an experience as good as these with a similar cost, these will be my go-to cotton pads, something I never knew I could be so particular with!

The description of this product is "PREMIIUM SQUARE COSMETIC COTTON" - stupid me, I thought it was cotton, but instead it is rayon and "natural pulp".... so you have a rayon + paper mix. Utterly disappointing and completely false advertising. Yes, buried deep within the product descriptor it indicates that it is rayon and pulp... I don't generally go that deep for cotton pads.... And the thing is, the headline describes them as "cotton". Does the manufacturer realize that they should actually contain cotton to be called a "facial sponge cotton pad"? I actually paid an absurd amount for these because they weren't packed in plastic. Joke is on me since they are rayon garbage. DO NOT BUY, they are crap despite all the lovely graphics and clean, natural looking packaging.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this one is chef’s kiss 🤌 For people saying it’s too thin or not suitable for rubbing on your face, that’s because you’re not supposed to use it that way! What I do is put about a quarter of the cotton pads into a clean, properly sanitized container, then pour in toner. These pads absorb and hold the toner really well and stick nicely to my skin. They’re amazing for my skincare routine and perfect before makeup to cool and prep the skin. Highly recommend!

Creí realmente que erran muy suaves que y no están para limpiar Todo menos la cara .
