Not 100% organic cotton
I opened these cotton balls today and they smelled (heavily) of cheap perfume. Yet the seal was intact (until I opened it). Let me tell you, 100% organic cotton has no scent. These are either misdescribed or contaminated. Taking this garbage back to Target.

Soft, not scratchy plus organic, what’s not to love!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORGANIC COTTON BALLS?
I have used these cotton balls for years, and the balls were always large and very soft. The most recent bag that I bought had very dense, small and hard balls. I threw them out. What happened? Why were they changed to this inferior quality product? Bring back the old ones--they were perfect!

AWFUL - Why did you change a perfect product?
These cotton balls used to be perfect. I used them for YEARS to apply and remove makeup, moisturizer, etc. The texture was soft and worked exactly the way I needed it to for those purposes. The last time I bought these, they were dense and hard. They do not work for applying makeup, and they do not fully remove makeup. Why change something that was so good? Now I'll have to find another brand with the texture of the old up&up cotton balls.

Yucky change, now scratchy & dense
These up & up organic cotton balls (green packaging) used to be fluffy, soft & luxurious. They were the happy, fluffy part of my mornings. I was a fanatic for many years, I would only purchase up & up brand organic cotton balls, nothing else would do. The "same" ones I just purchased are dense & scratchy (lavender packaging). I'm so sad. I'll be on a new quest to find fluffy & luxurious cotton balls.

So soft!
The organic cotton balls are so much softer and gentler than the regular ones!

Soft and gentle
These are the best. I use them for my face and to clean my dog’s ears and any other beauty uses. They are very soft and gentle.

Product Change
These cotton balls used to come in green packaging and they were extremely soft. Now they come in a purple/pink package and they are hard and stiff. I still use them but I am VERY, VERY, DISAPPOINTED in how they change the product WITHOUT alerting the customers! DO BETTER TARGET! Or you will lose customers!

Terrible!!
Terrible. They changed from soft perfection to hard and crunchy is the best way I can describe them. I bought these for years and this last batch I got was absolutely terrible. I don’t think they are organic, somethings going on…

Quality Downgrade
Such a disappointment — these used to be the softest most luxurious cotton, but now they are scratchy and rough in texture. Just buy regular cotton balls!

Do not buy until they return to the soft cotton balls they once were!!!
These are no longer the original soft cotton balls. They are now too rough and scratchy. It leaves my skin burning. Please bring back the soft ones!!

What happened??
I used to buy the target brand organic ones because they were so much softer and fuffier. These are terrible, smaller, rough and not at all what I was expecting.

Won't be purchasing anymore
I used to love these but the most recent bag I got is much lower quality and way smaller size than they used to be. Unfortunate

Downgrade in quality
These USED to be my absolute favorite, however, something has changed. They are much more stiff than they were before and not as comfortable to use. These used to be a staple item and now I will not reorder.

Bring the old organic ones back!
As others have said, these used to be my go to cotton balls. They were larger and much softer when in the old packaging. I don’t understand how a change in the package means you have to change the product itself. These are smaller and harder, actually feels scratchy on my skin. Really disappointed in these!!

Not the same!!!!!
These used to be my go-to, and now they are terrible. Smaller in size and stiff cotton. I had them shipped to me and seriously might return them. Why did they have to change these? Guess I’ll look for large SOFT organic cotton balls elsewhere!

Hard and compact
I've been buying these cotton balls for years and they were large and super soft. This last bag has new packaging and the cotton balls are really hard, compact, tight, and not absorbant.

Not as good anymore
These used to be my favorite cotton balls. They are now substantially smaller and not as soft. Cost however is the same. Please go back to the original.

Larger Size Please
These organic cotton balls used to be great, when they were in the older, green packaging. But since the new, purple packaging (and recent inflation?), these cotton balls are noticeably smaller. We still want organic cotton balls, just wish Target Up&Up would go back to the LARGER SIZE!
