They're good
I ordered the refill pack three times and I like using them a couple of times a day to keep my make up intact. I wouldn't order the harder plastic case because I used to have one and it would always get dirty. These sheets are super thin , so it would cost money and effort to develop an easy to dispense case. No thanks. I dont want to pay extra for paper sheets, I have thumbs. These are just great if your expectations are realistic.

Oil Blotters
I ordered the oil blotter sheets last summer but when my order came I didn't see them in the box and threw the empty box away. I fianlly re-ordered them and got them today. I discovered they are in a flimsy, clear plastic thing. I was under the impression they came in a hard case or at least something to pull them out easier.... why else would you want refills? I love the size of the sheets but not the plastic wrap they are in. It's time consuming to get just one sheet out. Customer Care Response: We will pass along your feedback and comments to Paula.

Not very special
I like the size of the paper, it absorbs oil very well but I can buy a cheaper one outside. This is too expensive. I will not reorder again.

Very Awkward Packaging
The papers work fine but the packaging is really awkward and the papers are hard to get out. The little sleeves they come in are also hard to put back into the case. Not really worth the money or the time. Customer Care Response: Thank you for your feedback. We will share your comments with Paula and her Product Development Team.

Rip off? Not so!
I used a friend's and they are large! Not only that, but they are cheaper than my Clean and Clear ones that are more money for only 50 sheets that aren't as big (if I re-call: I don't actually own this product). I wouldn't make an order specifically for these since I use blotting sheets so seldom, but to bring my order up to free shipping, a re-fill or new package of these is a great addition to my order. :) Besides, if I am going to use blotting sheets, why not use the best, and at the best price?

good product, confusing price scheme
I liked these blotting papers better than others I've tried because the size of the sheets is larger than average, which I think makes them more convenient. However, I came back to buy a refill, only to realize that it costs more to buy 100 refill sheets than to buy a new package of 100 sheets with case included! This pricing scheme encourages waste, I will no longer be buying these.

Works as expected
As another reviewer has mentioned, the papers themselves are nothing special. Of course, when ordering this product I was completely expecting that. However, the reason I only gave this 3 stars is because I was disappointed by the packaging. I heard it came in a plastic case and I was basically expecting a nicer hard plastic case that I could slide the papers in and out of easily. However, this soft--"sticky" plastic case is annoying because the smaller packets inside always stick a bit which makes it occasionally difficult to remove.

No better than the average product...
No better than your average oil-blotting sheets that you can get at the drug store for almost the same price. There's nothing exactly that sets this product apart from all the others on the market. I love Paula, but I was hoping something an oil-absorbing blotting sheet that would last longer on eliminating oiliness and shine.

size matters!
I agree with one previous reviewer that as far as oil blotting papers go, there isn't much differentiation. However, these blotting papers are about twice the size of most and half the price! What's not to love? :)

Blotting Papers
I haven't found these particularly better or worse than other blotting papers I've tried. But I do like that you can just buy refills for the case, so it cuts down on waste.

Do the Oil-Blotting Papers contain powder?
No. Paula isn't a fan of oil-blotting papers that are laced with powder. They tend to leave an uneven finish and require more work for smooth, matte results. Paula recommends using our Oil-Blotting Papers to remove excess oil and perspiration, then brush on a light layer of powder to finish.
