These are the first pads I use, so I can't compare, but I like them a lot. They are so mild and soothing, that my teenage daughter use them every single day even though her skin is very sensitive and reactive. Her skin became clearer and pimples stopped to appear. Although there is no tweezers provided, the pads are easy to use. The tissue is not too thin, neither too thick and it's moistened with just the right amount of essence till the last pad on the bottom. The scent is herbal, very weak and pleasant. The box has a seal to prevent the essence from leaking and drying the pads.
