Most Helpful Positive Review Life Saver This by far is the best blotting tool I have ever owned, I have hyperhydrosis on my forehead and the summer heat kicks it into overdrive, not to mention hot flashes as well, this product has saved me so many times, it blots away any perspiration and actually helps me cool down, I noticed the price drop on this too which makes me worry it is going to get discontinued, so I grabbed 6 more of these gems!! My skin is actually normal to dry so not too much oil needs to be blotted, but when I find myself getting heated, I grab this, us it and then my hand fan finishes the job.
Most Helpful Critical Review Did not meet expectations I was really excited to use this product because I went into the store looking for blotting papers and instead the associate showed me this and raved about it. I have combination skin, so I intended to use this once midday. Tried it out and was disappointed. Did not blot all the excess oil on my face and took some makeup off too. After one round of blotting, it did leave me face looking "dewy" to say the least, but if you like a matte finish like me, you won't get that with this product. Also it might be just me, but using a dry beauty sponge on my face seemed strange. Might be best to stick to traditional blotting paper until then.

I use this to blot away oil after awhile in makeup and I have to say this is really great. I rather use this than; piling on more powder or makeup
Works, But Not Worth the Money 2
Marie from Texas
So, I had high hopes for this product, but it just isn't worth the money. It will get the oil off your face, but you have to really press it into the face to work, and it would sometimes take my makeup too. It doesn't wash well at all. The first time I washed mine, it warped and wouldn't fit back in the case, it got weak and actually the top of the teardrop shape ripped completely off when I was drying it, and you have to also wash the case because all the oil on the sponge gets on the case and sticks. It also didn't work as well after I washed it the first time. I wouldn't recommend buying it even though technically it does absorb oil. Major miss for BeautyBlender on this one.
Doesn't work 1
slick forehead from Philadelphia, PA
I was excited to try something more sustainable than blotting papers, even though the reviews show that it's hit or miss. These didn't work for me and I don't recommend them. I used them to blot some oiliness off my forehead (indoors - it's not like I was out in sweltering weather) and nothing happened. I don't even know if I can return this now that I've opened it.
A Travel Makeup Sponge Not Blotting Sponge 4
Kim from Massachusetts
I enjoy using this as a travel makeup sponge not as a substitute for blotting papers. I threw these in my work bag and use them half way through the day to touch up any creasing from oils around my nose and mouth. Unlike the beauty blender I use this dry and it does an ok job of picking up some oils but I mostly use it to smooth out my makeup. In my opinion it's a nice makeup tool to keep on hand but not completely necessary. You could cut up an old makeup sponge and it would be the same. For reference I have combo skin type.
Hard Pass 2
Surge from Royal Oak
I am oily and had high hopes this would work but unfortunately it was a flop. I will say that on first blot, it semi removes some oil but not all. Shortly after more oil resurfaces unlike traditional blotting sheets - that removes all oil and keeps you matte longer.
Works well 5
Ronnie from Los Ángeles
I love using this sponge to soak up excess oil. Just a light dap like the paper kind. If I wear makeup it doesn't get messed up but I use mostly powder foundation. I use cc creams and works well on that too. Honestly it works well for touch ups and I love that it has a mirror. Comes with 2 sponges. I don't think it's too bulky, it's like carrying a compact mirror that you would powder your nose with. For the price just give it a go, especially if you suffer from oily skin.
Doesn't work; bulky to carry 2
Sarah from WA
This product is a bust. I was very excited at the prospect of having a waste-free alternative to blotting papers. Sadly, the thin foam pads did not absorb excess oil, and the packaging was needlessly bulky & unpleasant to carry around.

Did NOTHING for me. I loved the idea of this and was hesitant for a long time and I figured out why. I had to return this and going back to rice paper
Actually works! 5
AmyKay from Minneapolis, MN
I have super oily skin and I use this after work if I have an evening event. Definitely helps de-slick and keeps everything intact at the same time! A keeper for sure.
Didn't remove any oil 1
Adina from MA
I have incredibly oily skin (I usually use 3-4 blotting papers when I blot). I was so excited for a reusable alternative to that, but when I blotted with this I noticed my shine was still there a little. To test, I used blotting papers after to see what the Blotterizzi Pro left behind and I STILL had to use 3 blotting sheets before my oil was gone. I wanted this to work so bad, but the proof that it doesn't is in the sheets I used.
