Garnier Micellar Water In Oil Review

I became a fan of the original Micellar water and have been using it for over the past year, maybe more. It wasn't until the beginning of this year I made the switch, it wasn't intentional but my cousin who also has a passion for makeup raved about the Micellar in oil.

It comes in the same shaped bottle but is a little more expensive.

When Im ready to remove my makeup I shake up the bottle, watching the oil & water try to merge together is fun, I get happy every time I need to shake the bottle. I soak 2 makeup pads and starting with my eye makeup I let it sit before wiping my makeup away. The oil helps dislodge any makeup that tries to stay on my face, I find the oil/micellar combo helps remove makeup in half the time it takes for the regular micellar to do its job. After Ive removed all my makeup, my skin looks and feels hydrated and fresh.

I will continue to purchase this, it is more than the regular Micellar water but dissolves makeup twice as fast and I use less.

I really love using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil. It is an upgrade from the Micellar water from Garnier (which is already fantastic), with a bi-phase (oil and water) system to remove stubborn waterproof makeup.

I found this product to be really effective in removing waterproof mascara and lip stains. It hasn't caused any breakouts and I really enjoyed using it as a part of my daily routine.

The only possible downside is that this has a noticeable fragrance, which may cause reactions in people with allergies or sensitive skin.

I love how affordable this product is - it is often on special at the local pharmacy or grocery store.

I bought this as an alternative to my make up wipes as I'd heard great things about micellar water in oil being a great alternative with home made reusable wipes. I went with the Garnier brand because I love Garnier products in general however I've been left really disappointed. However, I struggle every night to remove my make up properly. I use a lot of the product, and my skin feels less than desirable afterwards. I have used other brands of micellar water before, but I think I'll return to those once this bottle is empty because I've had better success.

I still struggle to remove my eye make up. It’s gentle on the skin and doesn’t cause irritation or acne etc, so is a great product for foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow. But I feel it’s no match to baby wipes for eye make up.

I decided to try this micellar water as I use the original one a lot and thought this may take my waterproof mascara off better... I was wrong. Yes it was more oily so it took my mascara off faster, but it left a horrible oily residue all over my eyes and face that it claims it doesn't have! It also made my eyes go gunky and stingy from the residue so I would not purchase again.

At first I was very concerned about the oil, I have oily skin already so I didn't want something that would leave my skin greasy and heavy feeling. I shook This is a great makeup removing micellar. I don't mind the smell, and at no stage did it irritate my sensitive skin or eyes. It is perfect for removing makeup including eye makeup - and I usually wear long wear foundation dusted over with powder and waterproof mascara. While the residue it leaves isn't what I'd call greasy, a residue very much remains, and it is not one I would be comfortable leaving it on my skin. However, for me a micellar is only ever a one-of-two step of cleansing and I follow with a face wash, so this certainly isn't a deal breaker for me. (I just don't, particularly like they mentioned "no residue" as I'm betting it will annoy anyone who buys it thinking that.) I find it less stripping than some normal micellar, better around the eyes than most and doesn't sting, and also don't have to rub very much, all of which means it suits my sensitivities very well. I'll definitely be re-purchasing this, especially when it's such good value and only the price of my current eye makeup remover.

Love this product and would definitely buy it. My skin feels absolutely amazing, it removed which was always stubborn my eye make up especially my water proof mascara. Did not leave any residue. I used cotton pads to remove the makeup and then with a warm wet facecloth gave my face a good wipe - and followed up with moisturizer. Having that oily base to remove my makeup especially the eye make up helped soften my skin. Will definitely be buying this in place of my usual cleanser.

I love the soothing purplish colour, the beautiful scent, and how it removes my waterproof eye and lip makeup easily with no tugging and pulling. 2 cotton pads soaked with the product are needed to remove all my eye makeup.

Another 4-6 cotton pads are needed to remove my thin foundation, too much work needed. I probably would need 10 cotton pads if I’m wearing long wearing foundation! From what I’ve used so far I think the bottle isn’t going to last me 4 weeks. That and the need to use a lot of cotton pads make it much less cost effective and more work than my usual oil cleanser.

The bottle says “Non greasy - No rinse off” - on the contrary I find it’s too oily for my whole face, I still have to use gel cleanser afterwards. I suspect it’s also causing mini breakouts on my forehead and chin at the moment (I don’t normally have breakouts like that). Pity that, as I really like how it removes my waterproof eye makeup, thus the 4lippies rating. Maybe it should be marketed as an eye and lips makeup remover instead of for eyes and skin.

It is suitable for contact lens wearer, I find it doesn’t irritate my eyes at all. I’ll keep using it as eye and lips makeup remover but would stop using it on the rest of my face.

I have found this affective however you need to use 2-3 cotton pads to get the ultimate results as it does not come out easily as need few attempts. In fact the fourth one was the one that came out with very little left over makeup. This is not full cover makeup I’m talking about but just a basic bb cream or mineral foundation. The skin feels very oily when you use it and needs warm water to remove all grease however the skin feels clean afterwards. It’s not as hassle free as I thought so if you are thinking this is your hassle free solution then think twice. I won’t say that the skin is not clean, but a bit of work when you are tired and want a magical touch to remove your makeup.
