Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads

These Eco Pads are amazing, they feel amazing on the skin they are incredibly soft! I used the pads with the Garnier Micellar Rose Water Clean and Glow, together they removed my make up effortlessly. Washing the pads was very easy and when reusing the pad it felt the same as when I first used the pad. The product says the pads can go through 1000 washes which would last a very long time. These Eco Pads feel way softer on the skin than regular cotton pads which can be harsh on the skin. I have quite sensitive skin and the pads have not caused any irritation to my skin so would recommend this to people with sensitive skin.

I decided to give these a go after reading the reviews on here. I am someone who wears make up at least six days a week, and often heavy make-up and eyeshadow, so I was going through packets of cotton pads for make up removal constantly which was getting expensive AND wasteful. Firstly, these are priced very reasonably, at $16.99 RRP for 3 pads, it is not a huge initial cost to get these, and quickly works out cheaper than me spending $4 on cotton pads every 3 weeks or so.

The pads come in a simple pink cardboard box with typical Garnier packaging. The three pads are all white on one side, and a gorgeous pastel pink on the other side. They are very fluffy and extremely soft to touch. One pad is enough to remove an entire face of make up, which means you only need one out of the three clean at one time, which is good if you are using these daily. The pads don't absorb the make up remover too much, so you end up using less remover than you would need to use with cotton pads. These are so soft and gentle and it makes removing makeup a much easier process, especially eye make up, without having to rub and pull at the skin. My only constructive feedback is it would be good to have one side of the pads be a bit stiffer, as I want a sturdier pad for when removing eyemakeup as that requires the application of a bit more force to remove it. These do not stain either, when finished using one I simply wash it in hot water with soap and leave to dry overnight on the windowsill, and will use another pad from the packet the next day if my previous one has not dried. Then I chuck them in the washing machine once a week for a deeper clean. I am impressed that waterproof mascara, lipstick and eye shadow immediately rinses out of this and there is no staining. In the past I have been turned off from reusable pads as they would stain immediately and be hard to wash. These are quick to dry too, so there's virtually no downsides to this product. Overall, I have been converted to these and will never purchase cotton pads again. I end up saving money in the long run by not having to repurchase cotton pads, using less remover, and it removers my make up quick with no single use waste!

Recently picked these up at the Chemist Warehouse as I love trying eco friendly products! I hadn't heard of them before and was thoroughly impressed by reading each pad can be washed and reused up to 1000 times!

There's 3 pads in each box and you use them as you would a cotton pad, place your makeup remover on the pads and wipe away. Very soft on the skin and unlike cotton pads you will probably only use one if not two pads for a full cleanse on the skin. Super affordable for what you get!
