DELON Premium Cosmetic Cotton Rounds

This changed from a great product to an inferior one. I've purchased them repeatedly and relied upon them to be of the high quality I've grown to expect. . I had every reason to expect the same product I've been getting for years- rolls of 100 neatly stacked round cotton pads with the special wonderful dual textures- with one side having the slightly scratchy mesh liner and the other side like most any other cotton round. ...I specifically order this brand for the textured side. What I received was nothing like what I've been buying. It differs from what is described and differs from what is pictured. It is an all together different- damaged & inferior product. The current product is defective in 2 distinct ways. First the pads are just typical plain cheap cotton - same on both sides- the kind which pills and shreds- they are missing the mesh like textured surface -it has been that special surface for which I choose these over any other brand. Without the textured side they are useless to me. Second, problem - this was not 3 individual rolls of 100 neatly stacked pads each. Instead this was one plasti bag of 300 scrunched up rounds that are are squished in all directions - ruined, crumpled- what a mess. This was not a mailing container issue, but the item itself is not as claimed. It claims to be rolls of rounds stacked so they are neat and flat and easy to use and to store. These are nothing like they used to be. Buyer be aware - if you can not rely upon a product to be what you have come to expect, you unfortunately need to pay attention to return policies. I wrongly assumed that I need not pay attention to such policies because I had already used it and liked it so assumed I'd never have any reason to worry about such things. I was mistaken.

So the stock photo is a little misleading... you get 3 packs/tubes, each with 100 rounds. I opted to buy these after trying Swissper's and Target's store brand. I didn't like the Swissper's  Swisspers Premium Exfoliating Cotton Rounds, 80 Count  much at all. I thought they were worse than all others I tried. I actually don't mind Target's brand, but am always amazed by how expensive cotton rounds are!I only tried Swissper's because they were so highly raved about. Swissper's fell apart WAY WORSE than any other I've tried... These ones by Delon are REALLY thick. Sure... they can be pulled apart, but ALL cotton rounds can be... That's what makes them soft. However, the outer layers hold everything together so I don't get any stuff or fibers left on my face.Since they're fairly thick, compared to most, they do a good job of absorbing. I used these with nail polish remover, pure acetone, face toner, and more. It held up well to all of those uses! I think these are a good value - especially after all the comparison shopping I've done.I'm knocking a star off because they photo is misleading... but I still recommend these. I hope my review has helped! :)

These must be the worst cotton rounds I have ever used!-They are very thin. Thinner than regular pharmacy brands. And not absorbent. Feel like paper towel when wet.-The texture side is useless. It just come off after it gets wet.-The smooth side is so rough. It scratched my eyelids.I am disappointed! Becareful before you make a purchase. They come in bulk and you can't even return them!

No problem with delivery, but it is NOT the item picture. I was looking for the Delon cotton rounds that have sealed edges and have a flower embossed on them, like in the picture above on the box. These did not come in the box as above, but as separate rolls in a bag - that's fine, but the cotton rounds have a netted exfoliating side that easily peels off. In fact, all of the cottony layers easily peel off b/c they aren't sealed around the edges. They aren't as lint-free as the other Delon cotton pads I was looking for. From the picture, I zoomed in to make sure it was the cotton round I was looking for and explicitly ordered it for that reason. If this particular item is discontinued with Delon or the seller, they should at least update the product description picture.

These were once the preeminent cotton round available. They had a netted exfoliating side that was incomparable...no other cotton round came close. Then Delon took away the netted side. Now it’s two identical (neither soft nor exfoliating) sides. So they no longer split, so what? I liked that I could easily split them as needed. It was a feature, not a bug. It didn’t need fixing!MY OPINION PRIOR TO JUNE 2020:Very glad I tried these exceptional cotton rounds. Won’t go back to non-cotton or cheap rounds/pads. Delon’s are THE BEST cotton rounds available! Five stars for value because these ARE the best value considering the others are basically a waste of money. “Amazon’s Choice” is simply wrong.

I’ve purchased these off and on through the years because they were good quality and were the only cotton rounds that truly were lint free, which is very important to me. But the last two packages that I have purchased over the past couple years have not been lint free so I am no longer going to purchase these. Other than that they are of good quality and better than some that you can find at the drug store. I personally don’t think they are worth the price now that they are no longer lint free.

Pros:One soft side for gentle cleaning and the other side offers better exfoliating.Doesn't seem to shred at allOne round cleans entire faceCons:The cotton rounds easily come apart in layers (not shredding)There is no Aloe Vera and Pro-vitamin B5 in the rounds like the description statedFor the price it's worth it.
