About Silcot

Silcot makes cotton pads for applying toner and removing makeup, a step that is standard in Japanese and Korean skincare routines and much less common elsewhere. It is the leading brand in that category in Japan. Unicharm owns it, and its pads are engineered to absorb less product so that more reaches the skin.
