Reusable makeup remover pads?

7 replies

Has anyone tried these before? I've found these ones on amazon amzn.to/3IU1oiz but not sure how they'd compare to my normal double faced cotton ones.

I wear a good amount of eye makeup daily - stick eyeshadow base, shadow, liner, mascara and mascara fibres, so it takes some waterproof eye makeup remover (this one amzn.to/3pM4Oep if it makes a difference). It soaks the cotton pad fairly well and I can hold it onto my eyes and it dissolves the makeup.

What I'm wondering is, if I switched to the reusable makeup remover pads would they totally soak up my liquid makeup remover, so that I would need to use double the amount to saturate the pad? Has anyone used these before? Thoughts?

I use them all of the time. The cleanser doesn’t soak in because I massage it into my face then wipe off with the pad. I also use the pads for toner and don’t have to use anymore than with cotton wool.
Easy to wash. Put mine in with whites on a hot wash then hang up the mini thing meant for socks and delicates. I don’t use a tumble dryer.
Money saving and good for the environment.

I've got some terry reusable ones which tbh are just like mini flannels and fine for facial cleanser but I didn't like them on my eyes. But I just got some Last Round reusable pads and they are great. Soft, pick up liquid just like cotton wool and rinse out easily

I've used them for years or similar , also thr cloths that you use with just water are fab ! Often I jist wash my face with one and moisturise. ! Just make sure you wash in thr bag because they get everywhere !

I use these but mostly for toner . I have removed eye make up before and it holds the product well. It doesnt absorb it that much. You won't need to use extra product.
They wash really well too.

Oh this is great news. I'll give them a try. I wash my face every night with a flannel anyways and wash off the remaining makeup and eye makeup residue, so quite used to the texture of a flannel on my face

I use them all the time, have a few different ones from amazon. I don’t think you’ll have a problem with them. I find them really good for taking foundation off.

I used to use them but I found it more cost effective for me to use a balm to oil cleanser and a muslin cloth instead. Lasts so much longer too.
