Most cotton pads on the market are designed for single use. Though they're usually not exorbitantly expensive, using one or more a day can add up. With larger pads, Dr. Engelman says you can "cut each square in half to make them last longer." This cult-favorite, Shiseido Facial Cotton lends a luxuriously gentle touch to any skincare routine. Each square contains 123,000 cotton fibers, woven into 28 layers with high moisture-absorbing and releasing properties for less wasted product. This high-quality, natural cotton gently cushions the skin and is specially crafted to maintain its shape. Benefits
Cut Cotton White – Shiseido Facial Cotton DUPE MUJI Cut Cotton White – Shiseido Facial Cotton DUPE
Oh wow that sounds seriously good. Unfortunately there is no Muji around here. *fingers crossed I get to go on that work trip* Everyone can have a little bit of luxury on the low-low with these super chic Chanel cotton pads. Yes, they'll look pretty on a vanity, but they're also super soft and great for applying products. I think that's a win-win, right?The Ecru version isn’t bad by any means. But I’m spoiled with the Shiseido! Don’t blame me, my face is a special snowflake! 😉 Then I did a blind test. I placed both Shiseido and MUJI in my cotton dispenser, randomly alternating them. And I could not tell the difference! 😮 As with the Shiseido, MUJI instructs that you can peel the cotton apart and use them as spot “mask” treatments when soaked with toner / essence. I got my mom to do a blind test to see which one she likes. She preferred the Quo ones because they were softer (and also they were fatter – more layers). I tested them out and agree that the Quo ones are actually softer, but the Shiseido ones are stronger. When you try to tear them, it takes more force to pull the Shiseido ones apart and are therefore better to use for eye makeup (especially waterproof makeup). If you’re only wearing face makeup, the Quo ones are a great way to save some money. You can use the Quo ones for toner and removing face makeup, and buy the Shiseido ones for eye makeup. When I was scrutinizing the two cottons side by side, I’d say that the Shiseido is ever so slightly softer. But it’s not apparent while I was using them on even the delicate eye area. Honestly – saving 68% allows me to ignore this tiny, almost undetectable discrepancy. Some cheap brand from a shop kind of like a dollar store. I think the shop has stopped selling them though so I’ll have to expand my hunt.

They’re both very soft and the cotton sheets don’t fall apart in use. There’s no linting at all. I dialed up the contrast to show the difference in surface texture between the two – Shiseido has a slight ribbed texture whereas MUJI does not. It doesn’t make any difference in performance though.

In did notice on my last Muji visit that the cut cotton looked similar to Shiseido. Thanks for reviewing it! Will have to get my hands on it soon (I’m running out of my usual Daiso cotton).
Shiseido Beauty Up Cotton Pads, 55x70mm, 108 Cottons, Made in
These hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial cotton rounds are the ultimate reusable cosmetic pads on the market. Not only are they great for removing makeup, but thanks to the soft terry texture, they also have great exfoliating purposes as well. Oh, and they come with an adorable pink carrying case. I was searching for a review of the Ecru vs Shisedo & found your amazing in-depth review – huge props for the photos – I am also a facial cotton aficionado & deeply appreciate your work! 👏 I did my usual physical, observable comparisons between MUJI and Shiseido. The size of the MUJI is slightly smaller, measuring 65 x 50mm whereas Shiseido’s is 65 x 55mm. There's nothing worse than a cotton pad falling apart as soon as you apply product to it. Enter: The Rael Facial Sponge Cotton Pads. With super absorbency levels, tear-resistant strength, and a silky soft feel, these bbs are everything you're looking for.
It depends on what you're using them for. Cotton pads let you use less product. They're easier to work with thanks to their shape and don't give off lint. In addition, MUJI sells “Peelable Cotton”, and “Cotton Puffs” (thanks to Polished & Inspired for pointing this out!) which are not the same as the Cut Cotton. MUJI Cut Cotton WHITE is what you want! 😀 It's all about how you use them. Used gently for purposes, such as removing makeup, you shouldn't have any issue. However, you'll want to avoid using any product or material in a rough manner around your delicate eye area since that can contribute to wrinkles. MUJI is such a unique concept. I’ve started to really like their CLOTHES too. Such good quality and all classic styles. Also, don’t forget the FOOD – I just bought another 2 bags of those marshmallows with the gummy bits inside! I was going to make this post a “journey of discovery” and keep it a mystery on whether the MUJI is a dupe or not for the Shiseido, but I’m just going to come out and tell you that YES, the MUJI Cut Cotton in WHITE is indeed a viable DUPE to the cult favourite – and pricey – Shiseido Facial Cotton.
Facial Cotton Mini Size - Travel Size Cotton Pads | SHISEIDO
K-beauty brand White Rabbit has a mission to elevate beauty products that are essential but usually ignored, and that's where these cotton pads come in. Made with 100 percent cotton, these bbs won't leave behind lint or other fibers on your skin. Thanks! 😀 Definitely give the MUJI Cut Cotton a try – they are so soft and really gentle against your skin, especially the delicate eye area! I fell into the Shiseido cotton trap because they gave me a small box in a gwp. Of course I fell in love with them… it’s been a long addiction but now I have an alternative! 😉 I used to use cotton balls ages ago but I find them to be very lint-y. Cotton pads are good too but usually I find them not as soft or as smooth. The facial cottons are very soft and gentle on your skin, and not lint-y at all. I know this post is a few years old but I figured I’d ask – do you know if this product was discontinued?I hope you get to go on that work trip too! (where is it to, may I inquire?) MUJI is just so great all around. 🙂 First, let’s explain what a “dupe” is in the beauty world. A dupe is a product that replicates another product in terms of colour, finish, texture, longevity, performance etc. A mimic, if you will. A dupe is helpful when:
