I love this product. I used these for years. Great for controlling the oil in the T-zone throughout the day. I used these when I was wearing makeup and when I wasn't. The only thing I didn't like was the powder on the papers. I didn't care for the unnecessary product build-up on my face. I switched to MAC's Blot Film due to this issue.

These do the job, but they aren't that special in my opinion. They were kind of a guilt purchase, the MA pushed them and I decided to give them a go. I've had no problems, use to blot my Studio Fix in the middle of the day, but I won't buy again as they are rather pricy ($18 for 100 sheets as Sephora).

Meh... I prefer Clean and Clear Blotting Papers. It doesn't leave a powdery residue and it's cheaper and the papers are softer!

Great for use during the summertime. The packaging is cute, compact, fits well in my bag. It doesn't leave a powder residual.

I received these as a free gift sample when purchasing my beloved shiseido foundation. They are great. keep my makeup looking fresh and in the summer heat the powder makes me feel fresh again. Another a plus for shiseido

I am into my third pack. I've tried other blotters but I always come back to these. The size of the blotting sheets is perfect. A single piece is all I need each time, so a single pack lasts quite a long time. And with the powder on these sheets, who needs compact powders for touch-ups. Now that's what I call value-for-money.

I always come back to Shiseido's blotting papers, no matter what other brands I try. I have highly extremely oily skin (luckily I don't break out) but this wreaks havoc with my makeup. These papers blot oil more than the brands that remind me of wax paper. And as for that barely detectable powder mentioned ... I'm so oily that my makeup can veer towards orange as the day goes on but this bit of powder helps keep my makeup from going off-color. I also like that they don't remove your makeup, only the oil. My only wish is that they came in some way to remove the sheets more easily ... sometimes I fight trying to pull just one sheet out ... but I swear by these.

I've used MAC, Clean & Clear, Clinique, Estee Lauder... but the Shiseido works the best! It leaves no residue on my face, and is large enough that I can cut them in half. They also absorb more oil than the other brands. $18 for 100 sheets, packaged in a pretty blue plastic envelope.

Sensitive/combination skin. Absolutely fantastic blotting papers. I only need one to clear my oily t-zone. It has a slight powerderish side which picks up oil with very light patting. I got these cheap on eBay.
Downside is the plastic packaging, which if left in your handbag, gets all dirty.

These are probably my HG. I get really oily some days, and these work wonders. I have always felt this was about blotting papers, but these are just a little better than the rest. My makeup stays put and looks fresh. I tried the Clinique ones, MU came off on them. The Clean and Clear ones were better, but they actually made me break out, what? Yep. These are the best!

I can't live without this product! It's the only oil blotter out there that makes your skin look fresh and shine free instead of matte and powdery.

This is a really good blotting paper. I got this on ebay for really cheap. I got more than 300 papers for a price of $18! It doesnt take ur make up off and it really absorbs.

First I didn't like the powdery residue they leave on your face, but since I stopped tanning in winter, I like it! Must say I like Clinique blotting sheets a bit better.

I LOVE THESE HEAVENLY PAPERS!! The perfect solution to getting rid of oily spots while avoiding getting that 'I caked on a ton of powder' look! Leaves an extra oil absorbing powder on skin after, which isn't noticable, or even felt on skin. Leaves you looking matte without drying out your skin. The ultimate oil fighter and even breakout preventer. $14 for 100 sheets, but you get much better quality than the drug store types. Can tear if you pull them funny, so just be gentle! You'll love them!

I hate these papers. They leave a nasty powdery film on your face. I prefer blotters that are like rice paper and just absorb oil. This leaves a white mask residue. Yuck.

I'm reviewing these on behalf of my daughter, who has oily, acne prone skin.

She says;
Nicely packaged and very helpful for oily skinned people to blot off oil and shine without taking off makeup. If I rub the sheets against my skin, makeup comes off with the shine, so I just press it against my skin.
Many brands make these, and although I like these, I prefer MAC's. Clean and Clear also makes them, and those are great too!
It comes in cute blue envelope containing 100 sheets. They can tear so be gentle.

$14.50 USD for a package of 100 sheets.

Love these things! Blots away the oil but does not leave anything behind. Good price for so many sheets and I love the little envelope it comes in. The size of the papers is just right too.
