"Bought these as an alternative to Makeup removing wipes and they’ve been pretty good! I’ve been using these with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and they remove about 98% of my makeup. Sometimes I need to use more than one pad (front and back) but only when I have a full face of makeup.

I tried washing them in the washer (hand wash setting) without the mesh bag provided but that honestly didn't do very much. I ended up actually hand washing them using dish soap, which worked SO much better! (See image attached: on the left is a brand new cotton pad, on the right is a used and hand washed cotton pad)

Despite using them to remove black eyeshadow and waterproof eyeliner, I only noticed a little bit of discoloration, though it was mostly around the edges. Some fibers did come loose around the edges, as well, but so far it hasn’t been too bad.

In terms of softness, they're alright. Not too harsh/irritating but definitely not the softest product out there. Might not be the best for more sensitive skin.

Would recommend if you're looking for an eco-friendly and affordable makeup removing product."

"Great makeup remover pad. Love the mesh bag it comes with to wash them. They dry quickly and have not lost their shape or texture. Recommend to use with a lathering face soap or a cream based makeup remover as for me it removes the makeup better than with regular face soap."

"I have bought a similar product from another source and I like this brand sooo much better.
These pads wash up really well. The "cotton" brand always turned dingy and even bleaching them did not get them "white". The bamboo pads do not stain and are easier to keep clean!"
