These are oval shaped pads about the size of a women's hand. There are varying levels of exfoliation. I have had trouble finding them in recent years, but I finally found them at Walgreen's. They can also be purchased on drugstore dot com. They provide gentle exfoliation if you have a light hand or you can actually scrub your face if you need it. I'd say they are $5 to $8 for 1-2 per pack. Many people love them, but I know some girls who feel they are too harsh. I've loved them since I was maybe 12 years old and I used to have severe acne as a kid. I change up the cleanser I use with them, you can use anything you'd like, but the scrub component of exfoliating cleansers are hard to rinse from the puf.
