Delon Premium Dual-Sided Cotton Rounds, 100 Count (Pack of 1) – Lint-Free, Hypoallergenic, 100% Cotton Pads for Makeup, Skincare & Nails – Made in Canada

I find these to be quite useful. One side is soft, the other is a bit textured.I use them for the occasional astringent, but that’s not very hard on them. I do, however, also use them to remove nail polish, and that does require a fair bit of ‘scrubbing’ and I find they’ve handle it very well. I do want to mention the textured side isn't really attached in any way, it's just laid over top, but it’s just a matter of how you handle it, and it doesn’t need to be an issue. I didn’t find it a problem.The textured side holds up very well. The smooth side does bunch up a bit, but that’s only to be expected when used that roughly, imo.I’m finding them to be a LOT less lint-y than my previous brand. That’s a big plus for me. I also like that they come in 3 separate bags, each re-sealable. Makes them easier to store. These are going on my ‘everyday things’ shopping list.

I ordered this because I was too lazy to go to the CVS across the street to get more. It was raining really hard, and I knew that if I didn't get them right then, I'd forget and then I'd be stuck wearing my waterproof mascara until the day I died. So I ordered these things (which actually were less expensive than the amount that CVS charges. Yay DC prices!). Amazon Prime shipping later, I got to try them out. Holy crap these things are wonderful. I completely understand what other reviewers are saying about feeling bad about throwing them out after one use. The more scrubby side is good for using toner and that sort of thing. The soft side - and oh, how soft it is - is good for taking off eye makeup. They never fall apart. The ones I'd bought at CVS would kind of break in the middle when I was taking off my eye makeup. Not these guys. I think you'd need scissors to get them in half. They also don't have that little ridge along the outside that the CVS ones have, the one sealing them together. That ridge would often rub into my skin, wouldn't cut or anything, but it would hurt a bit and sometimes leave a little red mark that would take a few minutes to go away. I just figured that was how cotton rounds were. I was so wrong!The price isn't bad at all when you consider how many you're getting, and when you consider that you'll only need one to take off your eye makeup, not one for the first pass and one for the second, the price looks even better!

In these days of cheap manufacture and strict adherence to bottom lines, often times (USUALLY) quality falls by the wayside. What that means to the "Cotton Rounds Game" is easily noticeable. I am frustrated time and again by rounds that leave me with the clear impression that someone during manufacture put the question to themselves: "How little cotton can we put into each round such that it maintains its ability to be packaged and sold and MISTAKEN FOR an actual round of usable cotton?"But these rounds are different. As far as I can tell, they are one of the very last ones of their kind. Normally you go through the routine of taking out a cotton round, applying astringent (or whatever), and seeing as the cotton round absorbs an incredibly small amount of cosmetic product and wilts into something far too close to a wet piece of toilet paper for anyone's face's liking. Hanging soggily over your fingertips in some incredibly impotent way, you know it's all over now but for the swishing of your face afterwards to shoo off the cotton it's left behind as it fell so weakly apart. And if you're a DUDE, forget it! Your next 5 minutes are booked picking cotton out of your stubble.These Delon ones maintain their consistency from beginning to end. They come out of the pack in a stiff way without sacrificing gentleness during application. One side is exfoliating, one side is smooth, neither side falls apart. These are by far the best thing I've found lately...and when I say lately, I mean since Target (whose quality was never consistent on these since one time they'd have one kind, then on the next visit their aisles showed no trace that the previous month's kind ever even existed) a couple years ago changed to their store branded "Up&Up" brand and went the way of the WORTHLESS toilet paper cotton round. That was at least a couple years ago, and searching around in the interim has been fruitless...until now. Hopefully Delon will not begin to follow suit. Because as of right now...they're the best by far.

Great, soft cotton

These are ok for makeup removal, but as a Jamberry consultant I use cotton rounds to remove nail wraps and nail polish. The layers of these come apart easily so they do not work well for removing nail polish. I also have noticed that I end up with bits of cotton stuck to my nails after using these for polish or nail wrap removal.If you are using these for makeup removal, then these will work well if they have enough makeup remover on them. Just be aware that these perform closer to cotton balls than cotton pads when you’re using them. I prefer them to the cotton squares, though! So if you are choosing between these and cotton squares then go with these.I know how important it is to have an honest and through review when you're making an online purchase so am trying to make sure my review covers as much of my experience as possible. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

These are best ones & have many uses

Good quality
