I use Burt's bees products which usually don't have fragrance and they have a special sensitive skin line . I recycle them through this program: Burt’s Bees recycling - partnership with TerraCycle: https://www.burtsbees.com/content/recycle-on-us/sustain-recycleonus.html
I haven't found a good alternative either, at least i can recycle the packaging for now.
Here's another recycling option:

I have started to use honey to wash my face at night, and a mild soap in the morning (Usually Dove in the cardboard boxes fragrance free sensitive. I have hard water that strips my skin of good oils already, so soap made it really bad. I find the honey is more gentle and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. I leave it on longer for a mask and I mix baking soda or sugar in with the honey for a more exfoliating wash sometimes.

Many people in this movement slowly taper off of using makeup, you are then not creating a demand for those products, which then reduces how much waste is being created. The beauty in that is that you can learn to embrace what makes you beautiful, learn to love the skin you have and it’s flaws. However, this is not always possible for everyone, so I will leave some links below.
You can also help the environment by voting with your dollar, choose companies that have good environmental packaging, good mission statements, etc. There are also brands that will take back makeup containers, like burt’s bees, try supporting them as well!

Tip: keep specific makeup ones and specific other ones- makeup kinda stains them and may leave residue. Wish I had known that.

It's worthwhile to educate yourself on different styles and alternative concepts to find the right compromise for your lifestyle. You'll probably find a solution for one person that is an impossibility for another; keep that in mind as you travel on your journey!
r/upcycling is also a nice sub for repurposing things.
r/minimalism is a good sub and topic for assessing your belongings and future purchases.
/r/EthicalFashion offers resources on sustainable-wearing materials and ethical textile production that can help you make informed decisions about the items your purchase and wear. There's also information about sustainable care and cleaning of different fabrics.
If the disposable cotton pads are real cotton and not synthetic, you can compost them.
You can also buy reusable microfibre pads (they come with a mesh bag for laundering).
