These dual-sided "pillows" have made my skin so smooth! My skin really glows after washing with these!! I've found after a little trial and error (and wasting a couple of pillows) that if you follow the package instructions and hold them under running water for a few seconds they have more than enough cleanser to wash your face. I've been able to discontinue my daily use of scrub by using these in the morning and using the textured side after washing my face with the gentle side first. These pillows are small and I've found them hard to use at night to remove eye makeup, but they are perfect for my morning cleansing! You will also want to use gentle pressure when using the textured side, otherwise it's very easy to overscrub and irritate your skin.
