Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads

They do exactly what the say they’ll do. They’re a good size so you can get in a few days before the washing machine, they rinse easily, and the make up comes off so easily. Great packaging, good there are three to manage the cycle while in the wash.

On opening the box my first thoughts were how soft, fluffy and what a great size these pads were, this also made me concerned that there would be a lot of product wastage from it soaking into the voluptuous pad. This was not the case at all, I only needed a small amount of product and it spread refreshingly over my skin without issue. Lastly, these are of course eco friendly, which is a huge tick.

Whoever thought of these are genius! I've been using micellar water for a long time now to remove my makeup and usually go through alot of makeup remover pads. The Micellar Reusable Eco Pads come in a pack of 3 they are so soft and gentle on my skin and very durable. At the start I found them a bit slippery to hold but did get used to them and now I love them. They are so easy to clean with just soap and water the makeup just washes off, you just leave them to dry and they are good to use the next day, infact up to 1000 washes which is so good on the environment! The only thing I found was I had to wash the foundation off the eco pad before removing my eye makeup cause it just got too dirty but having it a bit damp didn't matter when removing my eye makeup anyway. I'm really happy I got picked to trial this product and will definitely be purchasing these when I need more.

I absolutely LOVED these!

The packaging was a simple cardboard box containing three reusable pads. These pads supposedly last for up to 1,000 washes each so you have some serious value in this box!

The pads are gloriously soft and fluffy, without leaving any fluff on your skin when you use them.

I did notice that my mascara did start to mark the pad slightly but I was washing it thoroughly with soap and hot water after every use and it started to fade. I found that I did have to put some effort in with taking off my makeup, even though it claimed you simply swipe the pad across.

Combined with the micellar rose water, the pad did foam/bubble the micellar water up slightly so it felt like it was a cleanser. I also used the pad with my regular cleaner and loved it.

I will definitely keep using these!

OMG I couldn't get over how soft these were! I just wanted to rub them all over my face haha. Which I suppose is good, as that's exactly what they're for..

If you have the Face Halo or similar, these are a bit different. These are more lightweight and much more gentle, perfect for everyday use. Whereas I only really use my Face Halo to take off my cake face makeup haha.

I use these when I apply micellar water after already cleansing my face. It's good because you can see the leftover makeup/grime it removes too!

As for washing, I'm lazy and just chuck them in with my towels/linen haha. But you could easily hand wash them too. Just make sure to pull them back into shape and lay them flat to dry them.

As someone who uses micellar water every day (usually multiple times a day, especially in this humidity!) I feel soo much better knowing that I'm not contributing to the waste I used to with disposable cotton pads.

These are great! I've struggled with using Micellar water with cotton pads in the past, often finding that I haven't been able to get my face completely keen despite what feels like scrubbing. The Eco pads, however, make short work of your makeup, wiping away foundation and eye makeup quickly and easily. I used the pink side for my first clean and the white side for a second clean so I could see that I was removing all traces of my makeup before finishing my cleanse. The Eco pads were easy to clean after use - a quick scrub with some soap and a rinse and they were done. I'd certainly recommend these pads as complementary to your micellar water cleanse, and the bonus is they're much better for the environment than disposables.

I was really impressed that each pad lasts up to 1000 washes. This is great for the environment and there are 3 in the pack. When I opened the pack I was amazed at how soft and fluffy the pad was. There is a pink side and a white side. The box didn't specify if they had different uses so I used the white side. I did try both and had the same results so don't think it matters. Probably personal preference. Really easy to use, wipes make up off easily, a gentle rinse after each use and handy to pop in the washing machine occasionally to prolong life. I had to use soap on the odd occasion to clean but came off easy.

I would definitely recommend to help eliminate single use cotton pads in the waste.

Oh my gosh! I don’t think I have ever been so impressed by products this much. These two (Micellar Water and Eco Pads) work brilliantly together to remove all traces of makeup/dirt etc. You get three Eco Pads in one pack and they last up to 1000 uses, how awesome is that! They can be easily washed with soap and they’re as good as new! They’re also super soft and the Micellar Rose Water is so refreshing and smells incredible! Highly recommend!!!

When I first tried this, I felt instantly refreshed. The micellar water itself cleans your skin from a lot of dirt that my normal cleanser wasn't picking up and the eco pad feels so soft on my skin. I was a bit nervous about the cleaning directions as it says to either just wash with soap or to chuck in with your next load of laundry, I'm not big for mixing things I clean my face with and my dirty washing so I opted to just use hand soap. This again made me feel nervous as I was worried the soap would cause some sort of reaction, but nope, it still worked perfectly fine and I'm so excited that I'm no longer going to be contributing to waste and landfill. Its so convenient that it comes in a three pack so while one, or even two are drying out, you'll always be able to clean your face.

I loved using these microfibre eco cotton pads. I used them with micellar water, face wash & toner and the microfibre pad was clean within seconds under a warm tap with some gentle hand soap lathered. They dry quickly and although I am yet to put mine through the machine in a delicates bag, I imagine they’ll hold their form and softness. They are super soft, really gentle and light and don’t drop any microfibres. Would recommend to a friend as a great eco alternative to using cotton pads!
