Product Rave: Shiseido Facial Cotton

"All cotton pads are not made the same. Shiseido's top-selling Facial Cotton leads in quality and performance."

165 pads, $8 CAD (Shoppers Drug Mart)

"100% RAW COTTON - Cotton is hand-picked by specially selected cotton growers, guaranteeing a steady supply of the finest quality cotton from around the world.

DELIVERS PRODUCT ONTO SKIN - Made with only long and medium-long fibres that quickly absorb and then release moisture onto the skin. Just a small amount of your favourite softener or lotion is needed for effective results.

NO FLUFF REMNANTS - The cotton passes through Shiseido's Original Super Water Jet Process, which is a stream of high pressure water that weaves the fibres together, forming a flat and smooth surface. The cotton does not disintegrate with use, even when removing mascara.

PLUSH, CUSHION-LIKE FEEL - Facial Cotton fibres are combed into thin sheets, then multi-layered for just the right thickness and softness.

SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES - Quality certified by TESTEX (Independent Swiss textile testing Institute). Recognized as safe - even safe enough to use on a baby's skin."

I have been addicted to these for YEARS. Literally. These are the only cotton pads that I have used in over 3 years! There is absolutely no comparing Shiseido's Facial Cotton to regular cotton pads. They are incredibly gentle and never fall apart during use.. and they don't soak up as much product as the "cheaper" cotton pads - which means more $$$ in your pocket in the long run!

Now, $8 may seem expensive for a pack of cotton pads.. but keep in mind that most of the $3-4 packs only come with 50 cotton pads - Shiseido Facial Cotton comes with over 150 pads. So it works out to about the same price! Also, since the Shiseido cotton pads are so large, you can get away with cutting them in half -  doubling the amount in your pack! :)

I've converted most of my family & friends to Shiseido Facial Cotton and I know that they would never switch back. Try them once and you'll be amazed at the difference!
