Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads

These are really a great idea. Comes in recyclable packaging. I love that you can wash and re-use them. It does remove makeup, but just needs a little extra rubbing. But, Unfortunately, I used ALOT more micellar water than I did with cotton pads. The micellar water bottles are recyclable so there less harm to the environment which is a plus.\nI tried these with an oil based makeup remover and they got stained. \nBut all in all, I’m glad I purchased them!

I recently purchased after noticing they were on special at my local supermarket. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how soft and durable the eco pads were. I used these like my cotton pads and limit them to the eye area. I applied my micellar water directly onto the eco pad and it absorbed it well and removed my mascara effortlessly!

I love these because if I gently wash I can reuse them multiple times and so reduce my waste which I love!

These are lovely but not really any better than any other brand. A bit pricey but they do work. Was expecting something a bit more wow

Effective for eliminating dirt, but insufficient for removing full makeup. Although the intention to protect the environment is admirable, I will still use cotton pads for my sensitive skin. Reusable pads are effective, but if they are not cleaned well, germs can form that irritate the skin.

I was so excited for these Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads, every time I use a cotton pad I'm thinking that I could be doing something better—however, I feel that these didn't live up to expectations...

First of all, when I took the pads out of the packaging they were really soft, I was excited to try them and really wanted to love them.

When using these to remove a full face of makeup, I felt it did not live up to their claims of removing makeup without rubbing/pulling, due to the way the fabric stretched and how they were constructed which caused each side to slide together making it frustratingly difficult, you need a very firm hand or even the use of two hands to get the job done.

Once I'd managed to get my makeup off, rinsing these out was nice and easy, of course, there will be residue left on the pad however, I'm sure with a deep clean it'll come out no problem.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend these as they stand today, however, if they made some changes to them (for example stitching the two sides together properly to prevent slipping) then for the price point I would definitely give them another go—but for now, it's a no from me.

I had high hopes for the Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads after reading so many amazing reviews! However, for me they just didn't hit the mark. They gain points for affordability and reusability which ultimately contributes to a cleaner environment. But that's about it in the points department. They're super soft, nice one... But it would be nice to have a side that's made of a slightly more abrasive fabric. Something suitable for exfoliating. Additionally, there needs to be a seam inside the two layers, or an additional layer in the middle somehow. They're non-user friendly, while you're trying to use it, it sort of scrunches up and folds in on itself as there's just air in between the layers. A sewen line between the two pieces of fabric would resolve this. I felt like I could never properly clean my face because it just kept bunching up! I bought one pack with the intention of trialing them before buying more if they were good. I wouldn't repurchase. In fact, they just sit in the drawer now and I've returned to a classic flannel!
