I really like the idea of this product and the fact that they are reusable which is more environmentally friendly. I used to use micellar water on a daily basis to remove my makeup, but I would use the disposable cotton pads. Due to the waste and impact on the environment I switched to using a face halo which is a micro fibre reusable cleansing pad.
I have these reusable eco pads ways to use and gentle on your skin. I use this in conjunction with garnier micellar water. I tip a small align I tot he pad and then swipe a few times over my face to remove my makeup. I then cleanse my face like normal in the shower. I find this works exactly like the disposable cotton pads. It removes my makeup in the same way. It’s actually better as I find these more gentle on my face. These pads are super soft and gentle.
There are two sides to the pad. I haven’t worked out what the difference is apart from the fact that one side is pink and one side is white. The pink side is ever so slightly softer but it still removes my makeup in the same way and I don’t notice any difference.
To clean my pad I use dove soap and run it under hot water. It cleans it pretty well. If there are stubborn stain I’ll just chuck this in the washing machine.
I’ve used this for waterproof mascara and liquid lipstick and it’s removed it without any trouble too. For a full face of makeup I find I need to use both side of the pad. There are three in the pack which lasts ages as I really only need one seeing as they are reusable and I wash mine daily.
Overall I’ve really enjoyed using these and they are a really affordable price too. I highly recommend these if you want to be more environmentally friendly
I love seeing mainstream brands ditching reusables and moving into more eco friendly products!
These pads works amazingly at removing all traces of makeup from the day including mascara and eyeliner.
It does say to use these with their micellar water, however my preference was to use this with water alone initially and go over any hard to remove spots with the micellar water afterwards and this left me feeling super fresh and clean.
The pads are super plush and soft and feeling amazing on the skin, they do not tug or feeling abrasive at all when being used. The only downside is that the 2 layers of plush material move around separately from each other so I felt like I had to fold it in half to get a really good grip and range of motion - not a biggy and didn't impact how well they worked.
They wash well, just chuck it in with a regular load and then they are good t go again - however my mascara did leave some slight black stains on the white
Overall I'm a big fan and think everyone should have these and ditch the single use make up pads and wipes! Better for your skin and better for the environment
