50-Count Compressed Facial Sponges, GAINWELL White Cellulose 100% Natural Cosmetic Spa Sponges for Facial Cleansing, Exfoliating Mask, Makeup Removal

These facial sponges are just what I was looking for. I get facials pretty regularly and I know they use these when I'm there. They've given me a few in the past to take home and I wanted more. These are similar to what is used on me during facials and I'm so glad I have a ton for home. I feel they do a good job of gently cleaning and exfoliating my face without any harsh scrubbing or irritation. They have not fallen apart or broken on me and I'm using each sponge a few times before tossing out. There is no smell to them out of the box and I've not noticed any smell on them when I go to reuse. Will definitely order more of these in the future.

I wasnt sure about these at first because when they are dry they are extremely thin but they expand to the perfect size when water is added. We travel a ton and these are perfect to pack and use instead of a questionable washcloth. I have extremely sensitive skin and these have not broken me out or caused irritation. They have a light exfoliating effect without being too harsh. They have little to no smell.

Second purchase of these. I sometimes forget to exfoliate and these help with the in between and really get the dirt off my face. Great for travel as well.

I ordered these thinking they were something else. Lucky mistake. Their appearance is deceptive. They are very effective but mild for mature skin. Use it a few times, throw it away and have a fresh one. No worries about bacteria build up. It reads for face but I'm going to try it in the shower on the décolleté. My friend liked them so much she ordered them for herself and another friend. I'm very pleased and will order them again. I purchased the white ones.

I recently tried these sponges because washcloths tend to get rougher with washes and still carry bacteria and I've been having facial skin issues. They come compressed into small disks, but once soaked in water, they expand into a soft and flexible texture, making them gentle on the skin. And made of 100% natural cellulose, which is a nice eco-friendly touch and makes me feel better about putting them on my face.So far, I'm impressed with how well they work for their tiny size. Work goods with my facial cleanser. They don't seem to be too harsh! I have sensitive skin so this is aspect is great! Fit nicely in my small hands (they are on the smaller size though) and they rinse clean without holding onto residue. In the description, it says you can use for multiple washes but I do a one-and-done use.The only thing I wish they did was kept water longer. They start to dry faster than I thought they would, so sometimes I have to keep re-wetting (which isn't the biggest problem), but I do wish they would stay wetter longer.Pros:Eco-friendly and biodegradable, save da planet!!!Good for my sensitive skinCould be reusable and washed (I haven't done it yet)Comes compressed, great for traveling and apts with small storage!Removes dirt efficiently - good with cleanserCons:Don't stay wet for very long (unless I'm doing it wrong)Take a while to fully dry after each use, which could lead to bacteria build-up if not dried fastWon't professionally exfoliate your skin, if you need moreOverall, they're a good addition to my skincare routine. They get the job done and great travel size and fit in my little bathroom storage organizers. Pleased! 9/10

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These little sponges expand to a thicker sponge to use on face. Each one good for lots of washing. Seriously great for washing and exfoliating your face.

These sponges are exactly the same as those used by esthetician uses, albeit, they are not as thick as hers. They do arrive very flat, but quickly plump up when in water. My esthetician uses new sponges for each client; however, she suggested a quick cleaning after each use should suffice for me to use them more than. They clean easily with hot water which washes away the cleaning balm and soap I use for my face. There is a small amount of residue after cleaning, but hot water and a dab of hand soap clears it up. The only thing I wish was different is that they would be fluffier, but it would probably interfere with their ability for exfoliation.

These sponges are great quality, and I love having them for travel. I don’t really want to use hotel towels on my face — so this feels like a little bougie upgrade that makes my routine feel cleaner and more personal. They’re compact, easy to use, and expand just right. Totally worth it.
