Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Such an easy way to remove my makeup last thing at night. I just soak a couple of cotton pads in micellar water and whisk them all over my face and neck. Every trace of makeup is gone and my skin feels clean and toned, not stripped. I can massage my night cream onto my skin right away, no rinsing or drying.

I haven't found it to be very effective at removing my eye-makeup, but waterproof mascara is a trial for most cleansers. I do find it stings like crazy if I get it in my eye by accident too.

Easily available with my weekly shop, I am halfway through one bottle after two months so I think it is great value for money. In comparison with another micellar water I have tried (Simple) I think the Garnier product is superior.

Bought this stuff after it was recommended by many beauty bloggers who's opinion I trust. I use it on those swisspers cotton pads to take my makeup off at night and or freshen my skin in the morning. It definitely seems like it does the trick! I ended up wasting a lot because the lid is really leaky and it comes out really quickly. Other than that, I think it's pretty good.

After using the Garner Micellar cleansing water I only ever broke out in pimples. Maybe this was because it was drawing all the dirt out of my pores or maybe it was because it simply didn't suit my skin. I would only be able to tell after using it for longer.

This will make you realise just how ineffective your other makeup removers are. I use it especially when I have heavy eye make up on that needs to be removed, and it'll take everything off. Eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, you name it. And it just keeps coming off too, so you know it's getting everything. With others I found that it looked like it was all off but by the morning there was some degree of "panda eye" from missed makeup. With this there is nothing in the morning, which proves how effective it really is.

I honestly believed this was just overpriced water when everyone went crazy for it and the first thing that appealed was that it was Garnier, its a brand i do trust generally so i thought cool. It was a bit pricey (for water) but i got it anyways. My skin is oily in the T-Zone area and i wanted to see how this water performed by cleaning and not stripping the skin. I have to say, it felt like water but definitely refreshed and cleansed my skin well, no need to go to the bathroom and wash off, just a clean facial pad and micellar water and all while you are laying in bed, makeup off, clean skin and asleep in under 2 min ;) I would definitely recommend this to my friends and NON-believers , i think it is worth a try at the least. It lasts really long too as you do not need much to cleanse your skin so thats a definite bonus for me as well.

I bought this off one of the BR members. I did read how it stings eyes and I wanted a good cheap and gentle eye makeup remover for my sister who just recently got into makeup. I have found this really effective at removing eye makeup. I did have my doubts thinking that this is just ideal for removing light face makeup but I have found it removes eyeliner and mascara really effectively, just saturate a cotton round and hold it over your eyes for a few seconds and then a gentle wipe and just about everything comes off. I also use this to remove the last bit of lippy left over at the end of the day. Even with liquid long last lipsticks it got them off. I really like how my face doesn't feel excessively tight and dry after I use it. It just feels like I used a toner. I have used it to rinse my eyeshadow brushes and give them a quick wipe on a tissue if wanted to quickly clean them. I would highly recommend this if you are looking for a cheap and gentle makeup remover for your whole face, even at full price I would repurchase.

I don't wear much makeup (it's not caked on) but this stuff is gooood!!! Even before cleansing, most of my makeup, eyeliner and mascara is swept away. You don't need to rub but I do because I can't be bothered holding the cotton pad over my eyes to dissolve the makeup. In saying so, mascara and eyeliner wipes off easily and this does not sting the eyes. It is very gentle on the skin, even after rinsing with water your skin does not feel stripped from its natural oils or dry. I only cleanse once after using it and when wiping my face with the towel (white), there are no leftover traces of makeup.

I was so so so pleased with this products!!! Not so much for removing makeup on my face but more my eyes, I have quite sensitive skin around the eye area so it's always hard to find a subtle makeup remover for my eyes. But this was perfect and make the skin around my eyes feel quite soft

I was a bit skeptical using this as I heard really mixed reviews but I really wanted to try it so I picked it up anyway.

It comes in a big clear bottle with a pink flip top lid. Its a big sized product claiming that its got 200 uses probably is about right.

This has no smell and has an easy flow to get product out although I did find it came out a bit too quick if I wasnt paying attention and would totally sog a cotton pad or ball.

I used this to remove all sorts of different foundations from my Estee Lauder doublewear, Kat Von D Lock it and various mineral foundations it removed all of them and easily. it didnt require a whole lot of rubbing or going over I was really pleasantly surprised by this. It did take a little bit more elbow grease to remove my waterproof mascara but I was ok with that.

It didnt give me any irritation and it left my skin feeling surprisingly soft and hydrated and clean.

I will definately be buying this again. Pleased I changed my mind and tried it anyway

I feel like I'm one of the only ones who do not rave about this stuff. I'm actually going to struggle to finish the bottle - might have to give it away :(

Firstly, the product is a very generous size, I think it's claim of 200 uses is pretty spot on. I like that it doesn't irritate my skin or eye area at all but what I don't like is that it just doesn't budge double wear foundation or mascara.

I lose interest when you have to keep working at removing make-up and granted double wear can be hard to get off but the amount of make-up this doesn't remove is just too much for my liking. After using 4 cotton swabs the foundation and mascara is still visible on my face and my face feels slightly dry and tight.

I've found I achieve a better result with this if I only have BB cream of a foundation that doesn't have much staying power on, that seems to come off much more easily.

Perhaps it's the makeup I use but I definitely will not repurchase. I find oil cleansing much more suitable for me.
