How to get the LAST of the LOTION OUT of the bottle! (4 Techniques)

- I did some research and decided to make a video since I was going to have to do it anyway.
Let me know which technique works best for you and if you have any cool tricks to add! :)
Technique 1 (0:38): turn it upside-down. and wait.
Technique 2 (0:57): cut the bottle open. scoop out the lotion.
Technique 3 (2:57): heat up the bottle in a tub of hot water. wait 5-10mins. pour the lotion out.
Technique 4 (5:10): extend the end of the pump by attaching clear plastic tubing (aprox 3inches long, trim to fit). this will help the pump reach the remaining lotion.
All the Aveeno lotions seem to have the same size pump (or rather the diameter of the tube), regardless of the size of the lotion. So the 1/4" ID (Inner Diameter) tube should work.
You can buy it on Amazon too: amzn.to/24cJgXs
Sorry the white balance keeps changing in the video. My camera has a mind of it's own :P

My big question to Johnson and Johnson is why they don't have refillable bags of lotion in biodegradable packaging... so we dont have to toss the used plastic bottles into overflowing landfills. In the meantime, while they mull over this, I pack and post the empty bottles to them...its their problem, not mine. If others did the same, it would start a movement....
Oh wow, that's a great idea. I agree with you. If more people did package and send all their empty bottles back to them, it probably would start a movement
Ashley Williams...go for it!
@@gourimirpuri6157 I definitely will 🙂
For anyone who recycles at home, note that any plastic bottle that you leave the cap on, at the end of recycling center, they will toss it in the landfill, because they consider it "contaminated" material. The bottle and the cap are different types of plastic and pumps are complex plastics with many different parts and may have many different types of plastics in it. Plus, it may have contents left inside which is also "contamination" to the recycling process. A little bit of food waste or other contents is okay but they say to wash it out because it can create mold and smell at the end point. Do the environment a favor and at least remove the cap of any plastic bottle before you put it in your household recycling bin. Thank you :)
Ha! Sending the bottles back to them!! That is genius! J&J lotion has a lot of chemicals, I would switch to more natural brands... Trader Joe's has a nice body lotion that's chemical free and only cost about $3
This is life changing! I've had 3 bottles sitting on my bedside cabinet for so long that I didn't wanna throw away because they weren't completely empty. Thank you!!!
"life changing"
The funny thing is that I googled how to get the last of the lotion out of the bottle because of Aveeno! Why don't they just put a longer tube in there themselves, I wonder.
Because they want women to spend more on replacement lotion. They could either make the bottle shorter or the tube longer, but they do neither. :\
I came here because I couldn't get the last bit of Aveeno too, the large size thou
Companies want them $$$
Me too!
Me too! I get so frustrated with my Aveeno containers when they won't pump anymore. Just as well I love the stuff or else I would change. I did use a drinking strawer to extend the tube but it only worked for a short while.
This was excellent. I used the cut the bottle technique for some expensive lotion and it worked like a charm. I had the bottle turned upside down for over a week, but when I cut the bottle in half with a knife, I discovered 4 more ounces of untapped lotion. Yay, baby!
Also, now I have a the top half of the bottle to work as a funnel that turned out super sweet and the bottom half of the cut bottle works as a container for my shower supplies, razor, shaving cream etc.
Bravo young lady for making this great video! You deserve an Emmy award for your generous and useful tips promoted on your video presentation.
After you cut the bottle just leave it open and scoop with your fingers when you need moisturizing. If you're OCD, use a Saran Wrap to cover it. Done.
Genius.....
I was gonna say something similar. Cut the bottle, and instead of pouring BACK into a similar bottle where the lotion gets stuck, pour into container where you can easily remove with your fingers. 😁
Just cut slits into the top half you cut and squeeze it down the bottom half, now you have a mini lotion bottle lol
You could do that, or just use the hot water trick and refill a bottle. Either use it, or repackage old lotion and then give it away as a present :)
Or transfer to a wide mouth jar.
This was the only time I ever looked up how to get moisturiser out of a pump bottle and I found you using the exact same product namely, the Aveeno moisturiser, so it must be a good sign that this is going to work..... so thank you !
Companies probably did that intentionally so that they make more money.
I put a plastic baggie into the cup before turning the lotion bottle upside down. The lotion goes into the baggie and then I tie a rubber band around it. then I can squeeze it out.
Please remember you are using more plastic which is not recyclable.
This has to be the most genius hack I've ever heard! Love it!
then you waste product inside another plastic item
FYI, same with boxed wine. Don’t throw the box away when you think it is empty. Open the box and remove the bladder. There is at least another full glass of wine in there. Just snip off a corner and pour it into a glass!
I think Thick lotions should be in tubs not in pump bottles...
Thanks for the video! I’ve been holding on to a few lotion bottles for a long time just waiting for the magical day that I’ll have enough time to figure out what to do with them. That day has yet to arrive, and I doubt I would have ever thought of the techniques you recommend. I can’t wait to try them! Thank you!
I came here because of Aveeno! Ayyyy. Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try heating up the lotion and putting it into a different bottle.
Here’s my Easy Peasy solution . Leave the pump in the bottle, shut it off. Take a sharp pointed Awl or Skewer and punch a hole in the bottom corner of the bottle. Squeeze the bottle and the remaining lotion is forced out the bottom,. Capture the lotion in to a container. I squeeze it into
my new partially used lotion bottle.
nice tip
Ooooo thanks!
I tried this plus the heat-up method and it worked well. The heat and the hole helped focus the lotion as it went into the destination bottle. Otherwise the lotion is really hard to control and quite messy.
I cut open the bottle and put into another partially-used bottle of lotion. I once weighed the bottle before and after and had more than 2 ounces difference in weight. That adds up after a while. I’m going to try the hot water method, as that would be so much neater. Thanks for the tip.
How did the hot water method do?
I've been laying bottles on their side and using the tube to dish out the residue for using on my hands. I finally decided to do a search, as humans are very inventive. Several searches failed. One had to ask just the right question to get here.
Thank you for this. I didn't expect heating would work, but it did! I also used some tubing to lengthen the tube. That works well. Now, one day, I'll be a millionaire thanks to this. I'll send you 10%..
Thanks! Aveeno user here too. I've been struggle-cutting the bottles for years... thanks for the hot water demo, I'll definitely be doing that in the future. :)
For those who want to cut open the bottle you can use a knife and put it on the stove to warm it and then cut the bottle very easily .
Clear as mud. Do you heat the bottle or the knife?
It's actually "Crystal Clear." It's all about subject/verb agreement - "You can use a KNIFE and PUT IT (meaning knife) on the stove to warm IT and then cut the bottle." :-)
Good idea Thanks 😊
fellas, you know why you're here.
It’s 1am bro, the demons acting up
@@cell85043 😭
You will be a great scientist one day! The world needs more scientists working on things like this that really matter!
Great idea on putting the bottle in hot water and pouring it into a recycleable container. I’m going to do this with my glass pump bottle of lotion. I like keeping a couple of recycleable containers on hand for these types of things. I put the cut plastic bottles in them instead of transferring them. I also do this with large samples. This helps keep things tidy and lotion from drying.
Excellent to see your video with those techniques to avoid wastage. I would add scraping the bottle into a wide mouth container with a lid or adding the tubing to the pump as soon as possible and keep swapping the extended pump to newer bottles.
After saying that, wouldn't be a better world if the product came with a suitable pump?!
Instead of being used to get the last bit of lotion out can water also be used to make lotion last longer if it’s low
Thanks for the tube suggestion, btw. I had been using the cut-off-the-bottom technique till now, and it's quite a hassle.
Instead of scissors, I would use an exactoknife. I found it easier to use.
Loved the hot water idea. Safer then using a microwave to heat it. thanks!
died when I saw her also holding an Aveeno lotion bottle too 😂😂
I would add a tablespoon or so of distilled water to each bottle and shake until mixed, then pour into one bottle. Then to get everything do like someone below suggested and let the last drip into a bag in a cup.
Very clever. Thanks for the tips.
I use the same technique for extracting the last residue from a Heinz tomato sauce container.
You can also cut the container and put the lotion in a freezer bag and just use your finger to get it out and it's not going to ooze out of the freezer bag just make sure you have quality bags
I would not scoop it out and put into the same type of bottle. I scoop it out and put it into a shorter plastic kitchen container with a lid. You can use the remaining lotion out of that until used up. I also like the idea of adding the extra tubing on the end and reinserting the pump on the bottle.
I have used that method too!
Actually 1 of the other types my sister uses I found a dish soap lid that you can open and close, and it fits on Jergens the screws on the lotion perfectly
This is a very useful skill. Thank you !❤ I will use the 3rd method on my Johnson baby 500ml pumping bottle which has about 50-70ml which I can’t pump out.😅 Did this company purposely make a such design 😂
Great video & thank you for the tips - just what I was looking for.
Thanks for addressing a long term pet peeve of mine!
How perfect. I have the exact same bottle.
Great help I will buy tubing I purchase gallons for my business this helps I need it all out of the gallon bottle
Thank you so much. I was looking for this kind of video ☺️
Super useful video! Gonna try melting using hot water and then pouring into smaller non-pumpable bottles (hate the pumpable bottles!)
ONG, I NEED THIS 😭👍🏻
A very nice content
OK everyone . The only method I will use is the hot water one. Thanks for posting this video.
that's the one, I want to use
Thank you, saw a good mia khalifa video and had trouble getting the last bit outta the bottle. This helped so much thank you!!!!
Just put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Then transfer it to a container of your choice. It flows out like water into the next container.
They should run tests on their own pumps before selling them really. Companies should always try their best to reduce waste that goes into dumps and show that they are being responsible to the environment. By taking short cuts and short changing consumers only shows they are not thoughtful and creates further doubt on the credibility of their product
In 2020, Johnson and Johnson decided to leave off the pump in some products to be more favorable for the environment and to make more money in the process. See article: "Caps and pumps: Johnson & Johnson's packaging changes put it on the path to a circular supply chain"
You’re so clever!
Ty this helped me so much
It’s squeeze tubes is what I need help with. My face wash is in a squeeze tube.
No no no don't re bottle the lotion ... just put lotion into wide tub easy to get out
I think like the hot water method.
thanks for the tips! Will it affect lotion if its heated up?
What about adding some water, mixing and putting the liquid in an open container so it dries out. I think it’s easier.
It still doesn't get it from the edges. Some companies do have long tubes but it still doesn't get it all out. At the price of some serums and creams I want to get every last drop.
exactly
I suggest you cut & scoop every last bit out then keep the packaging to scrape any that's left &lotion your skin right away.
Now how do I get the last bit of mustard, mayo, ketchup out of squeeze containers?
Mothers add a little water. Might be little watery, but still usable and it uses up the last bit in the bottle
Personally I keep used moisturiser tubs and put leftover cream in those. No way would I try putting it back into a little opening with a big ol spatula.
Thanks for your video and ideas. I just ordered some beauty spatulas on Amazon. A set of 4 and they’re reusable. Unfortunately I can’t paste the link here.
Great video!
This is so funny, I found this video after finally deciding to throw away my like, seven bottles of used aveeno. Thanks for the tips! I'm sure they design the bottles like this on purpose to make you waste product...
I find tilting and shaking to get the last bit to pump out helps for a while lol
I add a tiny bit of water (like a small spoonful) and shake it. Loosens just enough product from the sides or corners for that use without gdtting too runny, and the next time I need it I can add water and shake again.
Brilliant
whats the point of putting the lotion from one bottle into another your just going to end up with the same issues
It’s funny that I looked this up BECAUSE of my Aveeno bottle, why can’t they have a longer tube in there, it’s my favourite lotion 😭
Adding the tubing doesn't work. Tried it. You get like one more pump out of it. I'll try the heating method.
good to know, will save money not buying more plastic. Thanks for commenting
I think a box cutter or exact-o knife would work better for cutting than trying to get scissors around the bottle.
They should just make this is a squeeze tube at least you can get 99% of it out
We’re all here because of Aveeno lol
wow plastic bottles really suck
girl just use a funnel
Not buying these lotions anymore I’m switch to body butters or creams.
Thsnks, I'll cut it open. This and body wash are too expensive to waste! 🤙🏾😄
"ain't nobody got time for that"
she went home depot on us
V
Lol i have the same lotion as u
cool vid
You r so cute
Thanks China
My mind is blown by the people here thinking this video is "amazing" and "life changing" ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Is everybody so stupid that they believe the girls idea of cutting open the bottles is genius??
Then she goes through all the time and trouble of cutting the bottles only to put the contents back into another bottle!! Me watching this was the biggest waste of my time all year!!
I use a box clutter and slowly cut lower bottom to make a hinge for open and closing 🧴
