Poor quality.
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)

I love blotting papers, especially Clean & Clear's, but they're a bit spendy. I was really excited to try these elf ones, since they're only $1. Unlike Clean & Clear's slightly rubbery/plasticky feeling sheets, these are papery. They don't do a very good job of absorbing oil. The packaging is decent. I wouldn't repurchase these. — 1 year, 1 month ago

Not worth the Dollar!
volta (516 reviews)

It always baffles me when some brands can price their oil absorbing sheets at $10 or more just for a pack of 50 sheets! I started even thinking that $6 for a pack of 50 of the Clean & Clear sheets was becoming too much for a thing that can soak up oil off the face. So everyone knows how ELF can have some great products that only cost $1--but for every great product they have, they tend to have a dud product. These sheets are a dud product. Although $1 for a pack of 50 sheets is ideal, these sheets are very poor in quality and do not do a very good job at soaking up oil. With any other brand, it usually only takes a single sheet, or maybe two on an oily day. Since these are terrible, it sometimes takes 5 or even 6 sheets to do the same job!! So in the end, you go through a pack of these MUCH faster than a better quality product--you end up using and spending as much money as you would buying a pack of the Clean & Clear sheets because you use up to 5x more sheets and henceforth more packs before you finish up a pack of better quality sheets. So therefore, I've come to terms with just spending more money on a pack of better-quality sheets because not only do they last longer, they actually do what they're supposed to do--absorb oil! — 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Relatively Good
MissXu (82 reviews)

Although not as amazing as Clean & Clear's, I think this shine eraser blotting paper does the job relatively well. You can really see the oil on the paper as it becomes a lighter/ more transparent shade and feel the difference on your skin too. I usually use two for the t-zone and a third for the rest of the face. For the price, $1, I definitely think they're worth the buy! — 11 months ago

very good!

I think what a lot of people are doing is rubbing to get the oil off, but when you just dab I was surpriesed at how much oil came off of my forehead. very good! — 9 months, 2 weeks ago

Great deal
Jessica8 (223 reviews)

These work pretty darn well. They don't absorb quite as much oil as the plastic-type absorbing sheets, but they work just as well as more expensive blotting papers. For $1, it's still a great money saver even if I sometimes have to use 2 to get my whole face. — 3 years, 8 months ago

Cheap Quality
LalaS. (67 reviews)

These oil absorbing sheets do not work very well. Its quality matches its price. Small sheets of paper that are so thin, they tend to rip easily when being used. Does a bad job at absorbing oil as well because the oil on my face resurfaces too quickly after using these, I say within 35-40 minutes. And I have to use 2 or 3 of these sheets, using every inch of it, to get the job done, whereas I would only have to use one with Clean & Clear's oil absorbing sheets. The disposable toilet sheet coverings actually work better than these elf sheets, and they're free! — 3 weeks, 1 day ago

For $1, these are amazing
foodie521 (13 reviews)

I have a very oily complexion, so I purchased these when I got married and knew I wanted to avoid any unsightly shininess in my T-zone (which was about a year ago). I don't use these as regularly as I probably should, but you know, these are extremely decent. It usually takes two sheets for my face, late in the day, and they absorb nearly all the oil. I will say, however, that if these cost as much as many of the competitors, I'd probably skip them. So, my positive review is partially entrenched in the fact that they're inexpensive. In reality, toilet paper does just as good a job at absorbing oil as any specialty product, but for a dollar, why not buy these and keep them in your purse? — 1 month, 4 weeks ago

Hey, these actually work!
vanillasummer (63 reviews)

The sheets could be a little bigger, but they get the job done. They absorb the oil and it's helpful because you can see how much oil you've picked up when you hold it up to the light. They haven't ripped on me yet, but it's because I only pat it on my face instead of dragging it. You won't find a better deal on oil blotting sheets. If you want to dish out more money for Clean — 4 months, 4 weeks ago

50 for $1?
Sarah208 (17 reviews)

I like Clean & Clear better, but these work just as well. My only complaint is because they are paper, they can rip. — 6 months, 3 weeks ago
