I use makeup everyday and so makeup remover is something that I use everyday. I have used several makeup removers before but didn't like it because I break out of pimples because it doesn't remove my makeup completely.
I am really lucky to be able to try Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin. I've been using it everyday since I got it and never had any issues with it. I didn't break out and as a contact lens wearer, I like that it doesn't dry out my eyes with my contacts on. I also love that it has a subtle scent. Unlike others, I like my products scented and I love it when I smell the scent of my face. It is relaxing to me.
Overall, would definitely recommend it to everyone. I think that it would suit any skin type since I have a very delicate skin but it worked for me.
The typical look Garnier bottle arrived at work with the flip top lid secured with tape. I removed the tape and found that the flip top lid does lock securely and I could not detect any leaks.
The biggest difference between the “normal” micellar water and the Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin is distinctive blue/purplish oil drift to the top of the bottle.
A gentle shake is all it takes to mix it through, the application is easily achieved with a cotton pad. I was nervous that it would be oily but I found that applied to my skin without leaving any residue and oiliness at all. It is super soft on the eyes (especially my super sensitive eyes), cornflower water helps relax and soothe delicate eye contours. The product is quite watery and very light to touch. It did a great job cleaning of mascara and eye makeup and left my skin nourished skin without any rubbing or rinsing .
You don’t need much and a cotton pad lightly soaked (no squeezing of the bottle required) was enough to clean my face. I do normally run a second cotton pad over to ensure my skin is properly cleaned. As it comes in a 400ml bottle it will as it predecessors last quite a long time. I would like to see these in travel size bottles. Currently, I decant them for traveling into Shampoo/Conditioner travel bottles that work well – even to throw into my handbag for use before the gym or just after work. I also appreciate that the bottle is 100% recyclable.
It clearly worked for me and I could remove all my makeup effortlessly with two cotton pads at most. You only need to gentle pressure to release quite a bit from the bottle. I use the Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin every morning and every night.
It has a faint smell that is welcoming. I found it left my skin pretty silky and it felt clean with no traces of oiliness at all. It is definitely not irritating to contact wear users.
I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family with sensitive eyes. I do prefer this one to the milky Garnier Micellar water.
At about $10 a bottle, I found it very affordable and economical to use.
Tips: Do not over soak the cotton pad - a little bit goes a long way
