I do the same as acowles. I buy Clean & Clear Oil Blotting Sheets on eBay. Usually I get 10 or 12 packs at a time (60 sheets ea) and they come from Hong Cong. Usually shipping is expensive (compared to how cheap the actual item is!), but it still is only $22 to $24 TOTAL usually. That's only $2 a pack, verses $5 or $6 here in the store. Plus, it's nice that I don't have to worry about buying them very often since I have my stash. I like using them better than a napkin or whatnot because I can store a few in my pocket each day when I go out.... Don't need to worry about having my purse with me each time I use a restroom and want to blot. Much more convenient.

I started out with Clean & Clear blotting sheets, which worked fantastically for me, then moved on to store-brand blotting sheets, because they were identical to Clean & Clear's but cost less, then I tried Zon 24/7 rice paper blotting sheets, and those kinda sucked.

These days, I just take a square of my toilet paper and gently blot with that. It doesn't work quite as well as the Clean & Clear or store-brand blotting sheets, but it's better than the Zon ones. And it's cheaper and more convenient than all three, so.

in the morning, i use a tissue first, just to get excess lotion off of my face. then i set to work with about 3-4 blotting sheets (yea, i have oil issues) then apply my makeup. after that i need to blot about every 2 hours.

definitely the one that gives the most bang for your buck is the Target brand. they grab the oil better, cost less than the clean & clear and you get 70 per pack instead of 50.

i actually dont like the clean & clear one and only buy that if my other option is sold out. for some reason it just doesnt grab as much oil. in order of most favorite to least favorite: Target up & up oil sheets, Walgreens generic oil sheets, clean & clear oil sheets.

the paper ones suck and are not worth reviewing IMO

I started off with The Body Shop ones which worked fine, moved onto the Sephora ones (which I believe have powder in them?), those were my favourite! After I ran out of those I used the C&C ones which were okay, undecided how I feel.

Now I honestly just use Starbucks napkins. Look them up on MakeUpAlley, I honestly don't know why but they work GREAT!
