IntrinsicsLarge Silken Wipes - 4"x4", 8-ply Blend of Soft Fibers, 200 Count

I buy these along with the 100% cotton ones made by the same brand. The cotton ones seem more absorbent and are more abrasive. These silken wipes are smoother in texture. I like using them for applying certain moisturizing toners on my face since they don't soak up all the product. Less waste. Nail polish remover doesn't seem to evaporate quite as quickly with these, too.I originally bought these and the 100% cotton ones to deal with a slow healing wound that always bled after showering. The cotton ones absorbed moisture and blood way better. They helped dry out the wound quicker to stop the bleeding; but if I left them on a little too long, they would adhere to the wound and cause bleeding to reoccur once I peeled them away. The silken wipes served the same purpose. And although they took a bit longer to do the job, I was able to easily take them off after applying pressure. They also worked great for spreading prescription ointments across the wound area. They helped keep everything clean and sanitary without wasting a lot of product.

Much prefer these wipes to cotton pads

This is the first time I have purchased these silken wipes and I was very happy with my purchase. I have a weird phobia with cotton touching my skin so I refuse to use cotton balls, pads, rounds, etc. and have been on the hunt for an alternative for years so that I can remove my makeup and apply certain steps of my skin care routine. (ex: toner, essence) Since finding these, I can’t see myself purchasing anything else. They are so soft and nice on the skin and for my own personal needs, they get the job done perfectly. Obviously they are a little more pricey but I think it’s worth it and will continue to pay the price because I like them that much! If you don’t have an issue with cotton, these obviously aren’t necessary to purchase regularly. But if you happen to be like me and have a phobia of cotton or just don’t like it for whatever reason, I really think these are well worth the extra money! I’m so happy that I’ve finally found something other than cotton to remove my makeup and/or apply my skincare! I also love that they come in different size options! I think I like the larger of the two better particularly because it covers more space when removing my makeup which makes it come off slightly quicker than than the smaller ones BUT if the large was sold out I would totally just grab the small ones since they’re the exact same thing. Just a little personal preference. I hope this review is detailed enough and helpful for someone who might be interested in purchasing these! I’m very happy with my discovery and purchase, and I will continue to purchase these over and over again when I start to get low! I never want to be without them and they are definitely holy grail status for me!

These wipes are PERFECT for specific uses. Now that I've discovered them, I simply cannot be without them! They are specifically designed for the APPLICATION of product. I use them to apply my water based toners. Because they don't absorb your product, the toner glides on your face smoothly & evenly & you don't end up wasting product. Although they do come in a larger size, I find these work just fine. I can get enough toner on these wipes to use on my face, neck, & chest without having to apply more to the pad. I also like using these in the morning to get any sleep or leftover mascara/eyeliner off my eyes. As the name implies, they are incredibly silky & therefore gentle. Perfect for the delicate eye area. And there will be absolutely no lint bits on your face, yay! I have also used them with micellar water to correct any makeup mistakes or clean up fallout. This package lasts me for months & I use them on a daily basis. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a thin silky wipe/pad as opposed to a thick absorbent wipe/pad. Great product!

I make up guru suggested these so I gave them a try & I can tell you I will never go back to cotton pads again. These don’t suck up a fraction of the prudish-takes the tiniest bit-& they work perfect! Plus I LOVE that they don’t leave cotton fuzz in my lashes!!! This is a forever product for me, for eye make up removal especially!
