I was received cotton pads with an order I purchased before and also through the samples that Jolse gifted me. I was seriously impressed by the quality of korean cotton pads and I had to buy more. They say that it has 500 pads but there are really only 100 pads with 5 really thin layers. But even still, there is a lot to go around and I'm really happy with the quality of the pads. The layers are really easy to take apart and you can use them for different purposes!
