These pads are great. When I use them, I immediately notice a difference in my eyes. They are depuffed and feel refreshed. The only things that I don't really like about the pads are that the shape can be a bit awkward. The pointy end tends to poke my eye, but if I turn the pad then the shape is weird, so I guess that just depends on your eyeshape. These are good and definitely nice to have, but not ultra necessary.
