Anna Lisa Cotton Pads

I've recently had the chance to try three different types of Cotton pads from Anna Lisa.  The first set is the original type of cotton pads in a pack of 240.  The second type is organic cotton pads in a pack of 240.  The third type is Argan oil cotton pads in a pack of 120.

Premium Cotton Pad

Argan Cotton Pads

Organic Cotton Pads

Each of the three packs have a few similarities and differences.  They are all multi packs; each pack has three separate tubes of pads in them.  The individual packs contain 80 pads of the cotton and organic cotton pads and 40 of the Argan oil pads.  Both the Premium Cotton pads & the Organic pads are round and the Argan oil pads are oval shaped.  The Argan oil pads and the Premium pads have sealed edges so the pads don't come apart.  They are also ridged on one side and solid on the other.  The organic pads are not sealed and are smooth on both sides.

Here is a list of the features, as copied directly from the product listings:

Organic

• Made with 100% Organically Grown Virgin Cotton
• Specifically designed to easily split into 2 individual cotton pads! (use outer side)

Argan

• Made with Argan Oil -"Liquid Gold - Rich in Antioxidants
• These dry Pads are 100% Pure Combed Cotton, Made in Italy
• LINT FREE - No Fleecing! Each Pad Individually Stitched
• All Natural - Chemical Free, Biodegradable, Hypoallergenic, High Absorbency
• Dual Faced Pads for Deep Cleansing and Gentle Application 

As you can see, all three types of pads are listed as non-fleecing.  From my experience with these pads, this holds to be true for the most part.  There have not been any cotton strands left on my face, as I've wiped off makeup with these pads.  However, the organic pads pull apart, since they are not sealed on the ends.  They easily break into two separate pieces (a top and bottom) and then the middle section starts to fleece a bit.  However, if you do pull apart an Argan oil pad, they tend to fleece extremely bad.  

All three types of pads seem to have good absorbency.  They're also all natural, so they can be thrown into a compost bin and they will eventually decompose.  

The Argan pads do have Argan oil in them; so they are good for acne prone faces.  

Organic-Premium-Argan

My favorite out of the three are probably the Premium pads.  The rippled side removes makeup and the solid side finishes the cleanse leaving my face feeling soft and refreshed.  Once I've completely wiped off my makeup, I tend to go back over it with the Argan pads to make sure my face is clean and the Argan oil will prevent acne.
