1. What are the gloves/cotton pads made of?
The composition of the gloves can be misleading at first glance. Checking the descriptions, you will see that the gloves and wipes are made of polyester and polyamide, of course, fully safe for the skin and dermatologically tested. What matters is not the type of fiber itself, but its shape. GLOV Fibers they have star-shaped tips and are 30 times thinner than cotton fibers and as much as 100 times thinner than a human hairWhen wet, they draw makeup particles deep inside, literally acting like a magnet on them, without smudging anything on the skin.
2. Are GLOV products vegan?
Yes, our products are vegan and cruelty-free. If a product does not have the appropriate label, especially for new items, it usually means we are still waiting to receive the relevant certification.
3. Can the gloves be used just for facial cleansing?
Naturally. We also recommend our gloves as part of your morning or evening skincare routine, even if you don’t wear makeup daily. A morning massage with the glove provides a pleasant refreshment and helps creams absorb better. In the evening, it helps remove leftover exfoliated skin and sebum, and can also replace a facial massage before applying your night serum.
4. Can you use gloves with gel/micellar water, oil, etc.?
Of course, our glove is excellent for removing makeup or cleansing the skin with just water, but if you want to use it to apply your favorite cosmetic, that's perfectly fine. We have customers who like to cleanse their face with the glove and apply products like micellar water or cleansing milk using reusable Moon Pads or Original Fiber cotton pads.
5. Is the on-the-go glove suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin?
Our gloves are suitable for all skin types, including those with couperose or atopic skin. However, they are not medicinal products, so if you have serious skin issues, it’s best to consult your dermatologist. Our soft and fluffy Moon Pads might be more appropriate in such cases. If the skin issues are not open wounds and the acne is mild, we definitely recommend using the gloves for their cleansing properties. You might also want to try our gentlest glove, the GLOV Dry Skin, which is perfect for sensitive skin.
6. Which glove/cotton pads are suitable for combination, oily, or dry skin?
The easiest way to start your GLOV journey is with our glove for combination skin, either GLOV on-the-go or Comfort (we especially recommend it for those who wear heavier makeup). For dry and sensitive skin, we recommend GLOV Dry Skin, and for oily skin, GLOV Oily Skin. Short cheat sheet Suitable for combination skin:
- Glov On The Go
- Glov Comfort
- Moon Pads
- Moon Pads Original Fiber
- Heart Pads
For oily skin, we recommend:
For dry/sensitive, couperose, acne-prone, atopic skin, the suitable glove will be:
Many people still don't know their skin type, and with them in mind, we created the Starter Set – which includes all our iconic fibers. It's a solution for those who want to make the best choice.
7. How long can the makeup removal glove be used? Is it okay to use it for more than 3 months?
The recommended usage time is 3 months, which results from the natural "wear and tear" process of the product. With regular use of the GLOV glove, whether primarily for makeup removal or facial cleansing, over time you’ll notice that after each wash, the fibers no longer regain their original resilience and start to look "crushed." This means the benefits of using the glove are no longer the same as when you first started. Of course, it’s not that the glove stops removing makeup exactly after 90 days, but its effectiveness decreases, and it’s time to welcome a new one. Maybe in a new color? Don't throw away the old one—read below to find out how to give it a second life
8. How to clean gloves and can they be machine washed?
Do not wash the gloves in the washing machine. It is best to clean them by hand using regular gray bar soap or our special Magnet Cleanser soap.
9. What should you do with the on-the-go glove/cotton pads once they are used up?
GLOV products are so versatile that they can be used for everyday cleaning tasks, such as washing windows or dusting. Another option is to return used gloves to GLOV (either to the office or special boxes at Sephora). Thanks to our partnership with a recycling company, we process our products into a special composite, giving them a third life.
10. Are GLOV products eco-friendly? And what about microplastic release?
GLOV products are reusable and help reduce waste. For example, our iconic GLOV on-the-go glove can be used for up to 3 months, during which time the average woman would go through 5-6 packs of cotton pads—and their plastic packaging. Studies conducted at a Polish university have shown that the release of microplastics from our gloves is minimal, meaning our products do not have a negative impact on the environment.
