There are many blotting papers that are on the market so I decided to compare the blotting papers I recently reviewed.
See how Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets and Silk Oil Blotting Paper compared!
Price:
Clean and Clear: $5.49 for 50 sheets
Silk Oil Blotting Paper: $1.50 for 100 sheets
Packaging:

Both are packaged almost the size same and thickness. They both are also flip open packs.
Clean and Clear dispenses the paper by using a sticky tab. The sticky tab grabs onto a sheet every time you open the flap.
Silk Oil Blotting Paper dispenses like tissue from a tissue box. You just pull on the top sheet and next sheet peeks out ready for use.
Size and Feel:


Clean and Clear measure to be about 3.25 inches (8.3cm) in length and little over 2 inches (5.31cm) in width. The paper feels a little thick and filmy.
Silk Oil Blotting Paper measures about 3.5 inches (7.5 cm) all around. The paper feels tissue paper thin. The kind of tissue paper you use to wrap gifts with.
Absorbance:

Both absorbed equally great. You can see the color change more in the Clear and Clear than Silk Oil Blotting Paper.
Overall:
Overall, I would choose both. Both work great and both are packaged very conveniently. I know Silk Oil Blotting Paper is much cheaper and you get more, but reader Lulu mentioned Sasa sells Clean and Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets for $2.20 for 60. Sasa also sells the grapefruit version for $1.90 for 50! Both have their faults, but in the end, they both do what they were meant to do: absorb the yucky oil on my face.












Always been a loyal user of blotting papers. Ive tried a couple of the too and I’ve always gotten back with my good old J&J Clean and Clear sheets. First time I heard of Silk though. Looks good and cheap, too. I hope it’s available in my country.
Thanks for the comparison.

I can’t wait for your reviews!
i used to be the c&c film sheets fan, but now, im into paper sheets..not because im ‘tight-arse’ lol but i heard that completely removing all the oil from my face, will make my face to create more oil! eek so i just want medium oil free, and just pad/brush compact/mineral powder over it (yup got to wash the sponge/brush more often hehe)
