I've previously used Hakugen Oil Clear Film and Kanebo Oil Blotting Film, but this time I purchased this one. It's larger and takes up more space than the other two products mentioned above. While the product label calls it a "film type," it feels like a cross between film and paper, and is a little thicker. It looks like carbon paper (especially since it turns pitch black when absorbing oil). Its absorption capacity is incredible—about 1.5 times that of Oil Clear Film, which supposedly absorbs 2-3 times more than regular oil blotting paper. Thanks to this, one pack lasts a long time, making it a great value. While I use up 70 sheets of Oil Clear Film in about three weeks, this product lasted a month with 60 sheets. It also doesn't bleed through to the back, so oil doesn't get on my hands, and it doesn't get sticky after use, so it doesn't stick to the trash bag when I throw it away. However, perhaps because the film is a little thick, it feels hard against my skin and is a little painful. Also, the two films are often stuck together, so you may have been using them together without realizing it...
