Most Helpful Positive Review Never buying cotton pads again I really like this because they are really soft and the ones for the face have some texture that I like to use to remove my cleanser (I previously wet them) and I been using them with my micellar water.
The only con is that I initially start to put them in the washer but they where still with makeup residue. I then wash them by hand with a neutral soap or my brush soap and then I really got them clean
Most Helpful Critical Review Not so great after the first wash ): Not so great after the first wash. I threw these in the wash along with other delicates and air-dried just as recommended, and now they don't work nearly as well. ): When using each pad for the first time, it was an okay experience; i.e., it took a bit more wiping than I had anticipated to get my mascara and eyeliner off (not even water proof either), but I wanted to be proactive for the environment so I thought it just took some getting used to. After the first wash, the pad's front and back sides loosen up which makes it hard to manage while trying to remove your makeup, and the fiber seems more like a typical wash cloth at this point, making it tougher to get all of your makeup off. Not the point of these. I also loved the fact that they were primarily cotton and that they come from a cruelty free brand, but they are not economically friendly if they only work once. I now use Ulta's "Beauty Smarts Makeup Remover Towels" and they work like a dream; even after washing a few times!

The only thing I like is the bag it comes in.
There are way better brands.
This brand does outright marketing lies 1
Liz from Portland
This says "cotton" rounds but it is literally 100% polyester. I've noticed their other products also are scam worthy and their gentle soaps are more harsh and stripping than cheap soap bars. Watch out for marketing gimmicks. I don't support companies who market lies and claim they are something they aren't. You know you are getting cheap products when they do that for outrageous prices. Its all about money for them. We need to go on strike and make all companies honest and ethical by always reading every ingredient no matter what the label says. Nice work to those who also catch on!
So
Not cotton. They're polyester (=plastic). 1
Cev12 from MA
These were described as cotton. The ones I received are 100% cheap polyester—which is just a plastic. It's not as effective, not as durable, and bad for the environment. Disappointed in this brand.
Did not like. 1
Shan from Miami, Fl
I purchased this thinking it was similar to the makeup eraser and it is anything but. Can't describe in words but didn't like it. The cotton in the middle gets bunched up and it's not practical.
I was really surprised how well this product works. 5
Tracey from Waxahachie
I have given some to family & friends who also love them.
It works well 4
Marina from California
It's a really smart product, it's not wasteful which I really like. I wish I could be a little bit more gentle on the skin but I'm hoping after a couple washes the pads will soften naturally.
Must Have 5
Jackie from New Hampshire
So far, I love these. I use them mainly for taking mascara off, because I haven't been wearing a full face. I can see the problem people run into with it not taking everything off, as I've had that problem with the Makeup Eraser. I really like these for taking mascara off, and I used it just the other day with micellar water after taking my makeup off with the bliss jelly cleanser makeup remover. Plus, it comes with a pouch to wash them!
Made my eyes hurt 1
mel from indio

Amazing product 5
Brooke from Boston,MA
I bought these to use instead of cotton pads and am so happy I did. They are wonderful and the fact that they come with a bag to throw in the laundry so i don't lose them is awesome!
Nice but... 3
BeautyJunkie from Chicago, IL
I really liked the idea of reusable cotton rounds. It seemed practical and bio friendly.
Pros:
•They are quiet large the one for the eyes are big enough for my entire face.
•They're soft.
•One side feels a slightly more "rough" but it's not abrasive. I found it helpful when removing mascara.
•It comes in a cute little machine washer friendly bag.
•Reusable/ bio friendly
Cons
•They're not great if you have peels/astringents that need to apply to a cotton round.
• With only 4 cotton rounds I don't have enough to get through my entire skin routine.
Bottom line: the idea is great but the product itself is not super practical.
I would recommend them if you don't have a lot of steps in your skin routine or if you're really committed to making less waste.
Personally I'll probably continue to use them from time to time but it looks like I'll have to go back to the one use only cotton rounds.

Great for applying toner 5
Angie M. from Oxnard,CA
I bought these because I was looking for reusable pads to apply my toner instead of using and throwing away cotton balls everyday and these are great. I haven't used them to remove makeup and don't plan to so I can't speak to how they work for that. I also like that they came with the little laundry bag and I can throw them in the washer.
I love that :) 5
ginger from Massachusetts
I have saved money from the moment I started using this. They are soft and I always wash them by hand, I rub zote soap and all the makeup comes out. Good for sensitive skin.
Love these 5
Hayley from us
I love using these as an alternative to single use cotton rounds. It saves me money and saves the planet. They hold up well and take off all my makeup (be aware that these do require a makeup remover on them as well, they aren't like those makeup erasers) and are gentle enough around my eyes. They do permanently stain though so keep that in mind. They're machine washable and come with a laundry bag. Worth the money!

they are so soft! i love how disgustingly satisfying it is to see all the dirt come off my skin and KNOW that i'm getting a good fresh clean
My Favorite Go To! 5
Gina from Los Angeles, CA
These cotton makeup removers are the best purchase decision I made recently. They are great for reuse and it's gentle on my skin and doesn't add any irritation when I use it with my makeup remover or my face balm! It helps a lot with taking my mascara off more gentle although mascara can still be tough to get rid of.
Love!! 5
Karen from Oregon
Really great way to save money on cotton rounds and great at helping to save the planet!
Awful 2

Eco friendly! 5

I use these to take off my eye makeup and love them. I love that I can throw them in the wash when I'm ready to clean them and that I'm helping the earth while using them.

BEWARE!!!! 1
Jf from VT
Felt something sharp on the cloth. Upon further inspection, realized something hard was inside the cloth between the layers. I cut it open to get whatever it was out and IT WAS A ROCK!!!! I had been rubbing a sharp rock on my face. Not happy.
Doesnt hold up.... 1
Sarah from US
Picked these up at my local Ulta, loved the idea of having smaller makeup removing pads that were reusable, washable, soft, good for traveling and required no additional products. The directions recommended washing them beforehand, so I decided to hand wash them, despite being machine washable and coming with a laundry bag. These didnt even hold up to hand washing, the stitching came apart on one of the eye ones and two of the face ones.....If they couldn't hold up to hand washing I doubt they could withstand machine washing. They seem to work ok with just using warm water, but they dont work as good as some other makeup removing cloths I have tried. Good idea, but doesnt last or work as well as I was hoping...

Don't get them they are horrible
Great Concept, Bad Product 2
Sara from Ohio
I love the idea of using a product like this instead of using cotton pads to remove eye makeup. You're better off buying those makeup remover towels/cloths. Same concept where you run them under warm water to remove makeup. The difference is the towels/clothes are larger and they're actually soft and gentle. These bio-cotton pads just smear my makeup around and they're rough on my skin. It's important to know that I don't wear heavy makeup either. I'm bummed I wasted my money on these... I keep using them in hopes that it'll work for something. Maybe to apply toner on makeup-free skin?
