Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I love this product! It's so quick and easy to use. My skin can be very sensitive, dry and oily! With using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, it made my skin very clean & moisturised. My skin didn't get irritable, which is so awesome!! It removes make-up so easily without harsh scrubbing or rubbing. It is everything it says it is. Information on the bottle is easy and clear to read. I think the bottle looks great, nice and girly and labelled well. I've also noticed my skin has improved. The amount of dirt that it removes from your face if not wearing make-up is unbelievable!! It says 200 uses, I truly believe you would get that, as you don't need much. I think the price is very reasonable and affordable. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is definitely a product I would highly recommend for anyone and definitely one I am going to continually use. Thank you Garnier for making this fantastic product! xx

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I received this product free from Beauty Review and have been using it nightly for nearly a week. Overall I would describe this product as a very light and gentle toner, most suited to those who wear only a little makeup. Most days I just use mascara and a bit of BB cream. This was okay at removing the BB cream but very poor at removing mascara (Lancome, Benefit). On the weekend I wore more makeup - foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow etc and found I needed to use a moist towelette first (Simple) and then this cleansing water. It did okay on my face, but I had to resort to my usual makeup remover for my eyes. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a very gentle rinse after normal cleansing, instead of toning.

Tips: Not for those looking for a heavy duty makeup remover...

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

My first impression of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water All in One was that it was very simply packaged and actually looked like nothing more than a bottle of water. This was possibly the impression that Garnier was aiming for. The recommended retail price was very cheap and affordable. I used the product for the first time that night after my shower. As I always wash my face and make up off while in the shower, I was interested to see what the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water would pick up on what I thought was a clean face. I was very surprised by the amount of makeup that came off on the cotton pad and realised how much I was leaving on my face on a daily basis. It was quite a shock really!! The only part of my makeup that Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water did not totally remove was my mascara, so I had to rub vigorously to get it off. This was a little different from the description on the bottle which says ‘perfectly clean … without vigorously rubbing’. The product is also meant to be suitable for sensitive skins and I did not have any adverse reactions to it in the 10 days I used it, where sometimes I can get eczema so I was very pleased with that. Although the label said it was perfume free, it had a slight chemical smell and when I checked the list of ingredients on the back it had a lot of chemicals listed that I did not recognise. This could possibly stop me from using it again as I prefer natural products. I would possibly refer this product to friends, as it did clean my face well, but more than likely I would recommend it to friends who did not mind using chemical products so much.

Tips: Make sure to use cotton pads and not cotton balls, as I would normally use cotton balls but bought cotton pads (as directed on the bottle) and that made a big difference for ease of use.

Makeup Magnet!

What can I say? Pretty Good! This really is amazing how well it take's off your makeup, the best way I can describe it is as I said in the title, a little Makeup Magnet Nothing like makeup wipes or anything else I've ever used for that matter, rather than smudging your left over makeup across your face it seems to just pull it away from the skin I have used this every night before bed and am loving it, I get a small cotton pad and soak it in the cleansing water, start with my mascara then eyes then rest of my face, it doesn't really have a smell, I didn't get any burning or tingling it literally feels like you're putting water on your face and it leaves your skin feeling like you've just got out of the shower I do have to use a couple of pads (But I do wear a lot of makeup) The bottle is really cute with the pink top and is a very generous size, say's on the label "200 uses" (we shall see) but I do see it lasting me a long time In conclusion I think it's a worthy product to keep on my shelf, I would repurchase and have already recommended to friends and family Go get some! You wont be disappointed!

Tips: Use a couple of cotton pads to get all of your face or even add to your makeup remover wipes for extra makeup ridding power! :)

I'm not Buying all the Buzz

I'm so disappointed that I am writing this review. I was so excited to get to trial it and had this internal narrative planned out where I was one of the cool kids with the hip new product about town in my cool little hands and I'd rave and be cool by association. In reality I'm the socially awkward kid who hated chatterrings and was never allowed a tamigoochi.

I feel completely evil so I'll start with what I do like. The size. At 400ml it is a very generous serving and the $12.99 price tag is very reasonable. I also love the packaging. The clear water is very appealing inside the tastefully pink and clear bottle.

I'm still kinda impressed by the sorcery behind this product. For all intents and purposes it could be water. It looks, smells and (yes morbid curiosity got the better of me) even tastes like water. Yet clearly it's some sort of spellbound elf water because it does more than mere water could ever hope to.

My main problem is I have no idea where this is supposed to fit into my regime. I've heard makeup remover/pre-cleanse wipe, stand-alone cleanser, and even an after cleanse product (but then do I still tone after that??). I'm beyond confused. It's the very last day of the trial and I've tried this every which way trying to find something that works for me and I just can't.

As a makeup remover, while I do find it works adequately, I get a MUCH better result from the coconut oil I was previously using, especially on stubborn eye makeup.

As a pre-cleanse I can clearly see on the cotton pad that it is drawing dirt and grime to it almost magnetically. I don't feel that it's doing a better job than just washing though and this adds an unnecessary step to my already extensive regime.

As a stand-alone cleaner...No. Just no. I keep seeing everyone saying how good this makes their skin feel and I swear it's like I'm using a different product. My skin feels tacky and, frankly, gross. I really did not enjoy leaving my skin like that or applying moisturiser and/or makeup overtop.

As an after cleanse I got that same icky clammy skin feeling and again, completely unnecessary step in my regime - it was nice to see that my cleanser was working and there was no grime on the pad when I did this though.

On top of all this confusion and unnecessaryness, I really don't think my skin reacted well to this at all. My chin pores got so gunked up and gross feeling. I do have some hormonal issues at play at the moment so I won't blame the breakouts I had entirely on this product but they certainly did nothing to help them and my chin has not been this bad in a loooong time.

Tips: I can possibly see this as a useful "lazy" way for me to wash my face when travelling or on cold mornings when I don't have time for the hot tap to warm up before my kids kill themselves or each other. It's an awfully large and bulky travel cleansing system though especially with cotton pads added in when there are perfectly good wipes - even travel sized versions that are even more compact - that will do this job.

I think for me this is best kept as a makeup remover for normal days where I haven't worn my bulletproof Eye of Horus liners. It makes a good makeup remover and the size and prize almost push it into great category.

Failed to impress

All the beauty gurus love this product, so when the package arrived on my door step I was itching to tear right in to it!

The bottle is very simple & clean, with touches of pink. Seeing petals on the label I was expecting a mild rose scent, instead it was odourless. Having an odourless product will appeal to a wider range of people and keep the ingredients list down, however for me it seemed to take away from the luxuriousness.

Removing make-up; it did the job, after rubbing for a bit - which it claims there's no needing for rubbing. Cleansing & leaving skin soft; bit of a miss for me. My skin just felt wet, once it dried there was no difference in my skin. It didn't feel much cleaner, softer or moisturised by instead rather dry. My skin didn't drink up the water as expected.

All in all I'll use up the bottle eventually for removing makeup, but I do feel like there are better products out there.

Tips: Place a cotton pad on the open lid and invert a few times. Don't try and pour or squirt the product, it will go everywhere!

New Favourite Makeup Remover

I had heard a lot about this product through YouTube whilst watching all my favourite beauty you tubers. They all raved about it and how amazing it was but I never really understood how great it was until I tried it. The product is a great consistency, literally like water. There is no weird smell and it does not leave an oily or uncomfortable feeling on your skin after you use it. I didn't feel like I needed to wash or rinse my face after using the product. It does not dry out my skin either which is amazing as my skin seems to dry out with a lot of cleansers and makeup removers. And like the product claims, you do not need to rub away at your makeup, it comes off so easily with the micellar clensing water. I think this product is great value for money. I have used it everyday since I got it to remove all of my face make and eye makeup and the bottle has a barely gone down. My sister has been using it also and has gone out and purchased her own bottle she liked mine so much. I will definitely be repurchasing this product over and over again and this is now my new holy grail makeup remover and cleanser.

Tips: A little goes a long way!

Micellar Cleansing Water

I was really excited to try this as I didn't know whether it would be able to remove makeup and still be as light as and watery as it looks! But it lives up to the test! It removes makeup well, and I love using it in the mornings to remove the little bits of makeup I've missed the night before. Best part, is that it leaves no oily residue on your face like wipes do! I can easily see this becoming part of my daily routine.

Convenient and Amazing!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water has revolutionised the way I clean my face; from not wanting to have the hassle of trying to wash my face in the sink without getting water all over myself and everywhere else. I now can clean my face, remove my makeup and doing this while not scrubbing my face raw but by gently wiping my face. The application is simple: just squeeze a bit onto a cotton pad. I would use this product by first removing my makeup with it (this would generally be about 2-3 cotton pads) and then going over once again with the cellar water once all my makeup is off. It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple and looking amazing. My skin has cleared up a lot as well as it evening out my skin tone and making the colour of my blemishes be a little bit more dull then a nice red colour. This product lasts a very long time! After using it since I have received it everyday I have used only about 40mls of the bottle. The price is also amazing at a only $13 it is affordable for everyone. I recommend this product to everyone and have myself started looking for where I can buy this product next for when I run out.

Divadee

Not much of a fan of this product, but did find good value size wise, when first applying around my eyes it stang them a bit so then apply over rest of my face true to their words removed all makeup,impurities and dirt left face feeling smooth.Great not having to rinse off which is a +,I think what put me off was sore eyes and I know it said no perfume but it didn't have a nice smell so use to Garnier products smelling so good it was a let down in my eyes 100% agree this product did say a multipurpose cleanser did remove makeup,cleansed and soothes all in all a good product,good price and good size thanks for the trial

Tips: Thinking this would be great to take camping a no fuss way to keep you from look good cheers
