I absolutely love this product. Years ago, a similar product was made by a natural skin care company, but was "powder paper" that deposited powder, instead of just absorbing oil. Therefore, it gave a "dusty" appearance over make-up. There is also a drugstore brand product which is just rice paper, and doesn't absorb enough, or show you how much oil has been absorbed and where. The sheets are also too big to fit in a tiny carry-along make-up case. The BEST of these products is Clean & Clear by FAR. They absorb facial oil without disturbing make-up or depositing anything on the skin. They also don't dry out your face-- only surface oil is affected. They also show you where the most oil has been absorbed by turning darker blue with the oil, so that you can turn the sheet around to a "fresh" area and thus maximize effectiveness. The sheets are also silky soft and comfortable to use, unlike the crackly papery nature of the products described above. My only complaint is that the sticky pad that helps the sheets pop up tends to stop being sticky after awhile. Just needs a tad stronger glue. I hope they NEVER discontinue this product, as so many women I know swear by it. If you have oily skin, want to absorb summer sweat, find your glasses slipping down your nose, are a make-up artist, or generally want perfect make-up all day, buy this product! :)

I have very oily skin and these do a decent job of removing the oil (sometimes I have to use more than 1 sheet though). However, I think the mineral oil in them may contribute to more oil later. I also noticed that my skin looked extra dry after using them... even though I had powder on and the product claims not to disturb makeup. I'm not sure that claim is completely accurate. My mother used them and also said she did not like the way her skin looked afterwards, although the oil was removed. My other complaint is that they bright blue color makes them too indiscreet for quick use in a public place. I will continue looking for a better product.

Many people have commented on the price being cheaper... I would like to point out that many of the others are higher priced BUT offer more sheets (100 instead of the 50 included in this pack).

          This product is good for the price you are paying for. 50 sheets in a packet, lasts a good amount of time. This blotting sheets takes off oil but usually my husband has to use two, wish it did its job in one sheet. Overal pretty good product, better than the Elf $1 blotting sheets.

              It does absorb oil but sometimes you may need more than one sheet to get it all. Its great to use before photos or during a long day

                Comments about Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets, 50 ea:

                I am one of those Lucky women that has INCREDIBLY oily skin. I don't over-exfoliate, don't use harsh cleansers daily, don't ever forget to moisturize (oil free of course,) don't ever forget sunscreen, and rarely wear makeup. I don't even Own foundation. Even with an all over face primer it won't stay on past 2 or 3 hours. I am always looking for ways to cut the oil. I have used so many brands and types of blotting paper I literally can't remember them all. The Bath and Body are my 2nd favorite, but take more sheets to blot my face clear and I can't seem to find them anymore.

                The Clean and Clear Are plastic, yes. This is not a bad thing! The paper ones can only absorb so much before they are just moving the oil around. Most blotting papers take 8-10 sheets on my face (yes I am THAT oily) but these only take 2... 3 on a bad day. The mineral oil on the sheet is in such a tiny amount that you have to be sensitive to it in the first place. Second, it's there to act as a facilitating agent for capillary action. This is what pulls the oil off your face and into the blotting sheet. If it wasn't there the sheets wouldn't pull nearly as much oil off your face. If you notice, the sheets are textured and perforated to create more surface area to absorb more oil. These things are marvels of micro- engineering.

                They fall right in the middle of the price range (not the cheapest and Not the most expensive) and are much more cost effective as they last longer. For those reviewers that say their face is oily in an hour or so… honey, that's because your body is Always producing oil. It never stops. Also, what you eat makes a Huge difference. Eat a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza and tell me your face isn't oily in an hour. Oily skin is a combination of genetics, environment, food, makeup, and habits (touching your face)… roughly in that order.

                As for those who tout their "green-ness" by saying plastic= bad, and chemicals= bad… most plastics are ENDLESSLY recyclable but paper can only be recycled 3 or 4 times at most before the fiber breaks down beyond use. Also the chemical reviewers are so concerned about is used to control the oil's viscosity (how it flows) and has No known issues with human biology. Yes, I actually looked it up.

                So in short, yes these sheets are amazing, worth the money, and won't damage your environmentally friendly street cred.

                    I have oily skin. These blue sheets literally pull the oil off your face and the oil is absorbed onto the sheet. You simply press the sheet against your forehead, nose, chin, cheek and like magic, the oils and shine are gone. I have used powder but all that does it apply powder on top of the oil on your skin. The blue sheets remove the oil. One sheet is usually enough provided you reposition unused parts of the sheet over and over on your face. Sometimes I'll need 2. It doesn't remove the makeup, just the oil. awesome! Don't buy the rice paper or tissue paper blotting sheets - they do not work. These sheets are not paper, they're almost like a smooth and thin balloon material but not rubbery or sticky. I know that doesn't sound good, but it works. Also, there is no residue on your face. Ther is no irritation. The sheets are not makeup or powder or gel or crime being applied to your face. The sheet is lifting off the oils from your face.

                        It's actually better than the ones that have powder on them. This one is not messy at all and does just what it is advertized to do.

                          I carry these with me everywhere. I have very oily skin, especially in the summer. I use them during the day to absorb the extra oil on my face without ruining my makeup.
