    I once did an experiment and actually measured was wouldn't come out of various containers because it annoyed me. As an average it was 10% of the labelled contents. The most annoying was boots serum because it's so expensive in the first place.

    Aveeno is the worst! 
    I have found putting the pump from the new bottle onto the old one helps for get a bit more out...

    When my Clinique is almost gone I turn it on its side and use the tube to stroke stuff on to my face. Later, it's tilted so the moisturiser runs into the corner and I can get my little finger in. 

    Boots serum tubes are cut when nothing comes out at a squeeze and I find  a decent amount. I put a face wipe and the top of a hair mousse over it and it will last a few days. 

    Only bare containers are recycled.
