I really like these blotting papers, they are larger in size than most, and come in a smart pale blue dispensing folder thingy. It is easy to see which side to use and whilst they have a bit of a scent, it is very faint. They do have a bit of powder but that's no bad thing for me. I used to use these years ago, and they went off my radar for a while, but are as effective as I remember - have used many brands from eg Nivea, MAC, Clinique, Body Shop, Clean & Clear but these are the best for me. My skin has an oily t-zone and I get shiney after a couple of hours, these do the job without resorting to a buildup of powder - as one gets older that is not a good look!!£13 for 100

I think I`ve tried every oil blotting paper available here - and nothing compares to Shiseido! What I like about these, is the generous size of them, and the fact that they remove oil, not make-up! Love them! But the price is rather high - they cost USD30 here! But worth the shell-out:-)

These blotting papers are the best, I cannot live without them!!
They take all the oil out without taking off any make-up and leave my skin looking fresh. No need to touch-ups with powder which can end up looking bad on very oily skin like mine.

Shiseido Oil Blotting Papers are the BEST! Even though I just turned 30, I still have oily but great skin. I've been using Shiseido oil blotting papers since they first hit the US market and love them. They take excess oil off the face quickly and efficiently while leaving makeup intact. I've tried a few other products that claim to mattify skin from the base up, but I've always come back to Shiseido. The one product that I've tried and liked even better than these are oil blotting papers made by a Korean company. Unfortunately, you can't purchase them here in the US.

If you suffer from oily skin, try Shiseido blotting papers. I use between 2-5 everyday and don't know what I'd do without them. The papers generally last for quite some time as they are much bigger in size than competitor brands and the slight powder on the paper works wonders. This is a purchase you won't regret.

I love, love, love Shiseido's blotting tissues! Prior to Shiseido's blotting tissue I used Clean and Clear's blotting tissue which did the job but Clean and Clear's blotting tissue has mineral oil on it so I was afraid my acne-prone skin would someday become allergic to it. It's about $15 for a pack of 100 sheets which is not much more than what I paid for Clean and Clear, $6 for 50 sheets--why not pay the extra $3 for a quality product? Shiseido's blotting tissues have a light hint of powder which mattes the skin and I feels like the oil has REALLY been lifted off my face after using it. HG HG!

I quite like these. They are practical and beautifully packaged. They absorb the oil and leave a matte finish. They are much cheaper than MAC oil blotting sheets imo, since for a little more money you get 100 sheets instead of 30(ish, I think).

They soak up oil better than any other paper I've used. They do take some make up off, but not a lot and the result is worth the loss.

I've been using Clean & Clear's forever but decided to give these a try since I liked the ingredients better. Also, I hated the waxy paper feel of Clean & Clear's sheets plus they have mineral oil in them. Shiseido's are dry paper that soak up oil very well. They do take a bit of make-up off with them but I think it's impossible to leave it completely undisturbed. You get 100 in a package so it will last you longer than Clean & Clear's 50 sheets. They are more expensive but I prefer the feel of these so I have made the switch! UPDATE: I noticed they are really removing my make-up, leaving me blotchy and exposing what my make-up was covering. This is unacceptable and I am searching around for new sheets.

I've used this for over seven years and I absolutely love it especially because I have oily skin. So for me, my makeup feels good after I use the papers throughout the day to absorb all the excess oil but even with the powdery layer it leaves behind, I still have some shine from my oily skin, so I prefer to use my MAC blotting powder or Arbonne personalizer even after blotting at times but not always. Just knowing that the excess oil from my face is being transferred and absorbed to the paper is somewhat of a relief for me. If you can just imagine how clogging oil feels on your face. It's the best oil-blotting paper I have ever tried. Will repurchase as long as it's on the market.

Good blotters. I love the powdery feeling because the powder seems to add a matte look to your face. Sucks up my oil really well since I have quite oily skin. The price though throws me off a little because I know I can get other blotters for a cheaper price especially in Asia since there are so many different kinds. Overall, it does the job well.

An excellent product. I have very oily skin in summer and in winter i still have a slight problem with shine. These blotting papers remove shine from my face without drying it out. I think they're pretty expensive but i will keep buying them because they last me a while.

I love this product! Works very well because my face gets oily after 2-3 hours from washing my face and only one paper gets rid of most of my oil, but sometimes I have to use a second paper to make sure I don't have anymore oil. But I love this Shiseido Oil Blotting Papers. Even though, it's like $15.50 over here in our mall, it's still good. And I just found out that it's $10 at StrawberryNET, but it's ok. haha. I definately would buy the product again!!

I love this product - absorbs all the oil on my face without messing up my make-up or making me look weird. I've experienced break-outs using other oil absorbing sheets such as Clean & Clear but these Shiseido papers are wonderful. Price is high but worth it.

To be honest, there isn’t much difference between these oil blotting sheets and paper toilet liners, which I’ve used in emergencies. The Shiseido papers are encased in a neat, easy to use pop up dispenser, like Kleenex tissues. The light blue plastic sleeve is prettier and more durable than many other brands, which in my experience is usually crafted out of cardboard paper. My ideal oil blotting sheets would soak up oil without leaving behind a matte powdery finish or disturbing my makeup. The Shiseido papers absorb oil and leave my makeup intact but my face still looks a bit shiny. These sheets are better than nothing but there are also more effective, less expensive products available (namely MAC or Clean and Clear sheets).

It worked - it did a great job with my "excessive oil" in summer although I have dry fair skin. The price is a bit too high here - $26 for 100 sheets, but it is worth it. I tried a German brand "Essence" and Clean and Clear , Shiseido is totally beyond any competition. I guess, blotting paper has Japanese origin, that is why Shiseido product is the best.

I am writing a review for Shiseido sweat and oil blotting paper. I think it is not the same as Pureness oil blotting papers because there is no powder on my blotting paper. It is very effective in absorbing oil, and also it does not leave powdery residue on my face, which can make me look funny. I bought it at the Tokyo airport when I was waiting for a connection flight. It's not very expensive, probably under five dollars (I don't remember exactly how much). I would definitely buy it again, but I don't think I can find it in the US and will have to wait until next time when I fly to Japan.

I like this a lot. Absorbs oil and leaves my face looking fresh and brighter, which is why I like this better than clean and clear blotting sheets. 16 dollars for 100 papers. One thing though, I wish it had oil absorbing powder on both sides. Still cool!

These are the best blotting papers out there! Not like those weird plastic Clean & Clear things. These blotting papers are kind of like tissue paper. You have to make sure you use the side with the matte powder on it to get the maximum blotting effects. It gets rid of shine and oil WITHOUT messing up makeup.

Not too happy about the film of powder these leave behind...makes me look ghostly. However, it does the job.

Best blotting papers I've ever tried. They're not those weird plastic ones, but are rather actually made of paper (don't know what type). This feels better against my skin than other types (for example the Clean & Clear) and does a better job of soaking up the oil without smearing my makeup. They're effective enough on me that I really only have to use one a day. Followed by a dusting of sheer powder, I'm set for the next 6 hours.

The price is also comparable to Clean & Clear at around $14 for 100 much better sheets compared to $6 for 50 sheets of the inferior Clean & Clear. A staple in my purse - I'll definitely be repurchasing.
