Garnier Hyaluronic Aloe Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Water

I enjoyed trying the Garnier Micellar Hyaluronic Aloe Water. I'm not a frequent user of micellar waters as I tend to just wash my face with face wash and water. This product has a clear, watery consistency with a light aloe fragrance (it reminded me of a cucumber scent too which is lovely!).

The consistency is really refreshing on skin, I used it by applying to a cotton pad and gently swept or patted it on my skin. I found it removed light makeup well (if I had more makeup on I'd probably apply it more than once), and like the label claims, it left no residue. It didn't feel sticky or leave a heavy scent behind, which I appreciated.

My skin felt hydrated, refreshed, and cleaned afterwards. I've started using it even after coming out of the shower because I love the refreshing feel of the aloe water over my face (and even lips) during the dry winter season, before applying toner, serum or moisturizer. I don't think I've used it for long enough to notice it's re-plumping or smoothing qualities but keen to continue using it to find out!

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this product from Garnier, I didn't have super high expectations but I've enjoyed using it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing and light micellar water that's very hydrating.

A good product that does the basics.

This micellar water removed most of my makeup - not quite in one swipe, but good enough to equal other micellar waters I’ve used. This works for me - I use micellar water to remove most of my makeup but it doesn’t replace cleanser (which I use after).

The scent is pleasant and fresh, and the water is cooling on the skin. This leaves you feeling clean and refreshed after use.

Did it hydrate my skin? I honestly can’t say. What I can say is it didn’t further dry out my already dry skin and it didn’t leave it feeling tight or uncomfortable. And with the potential of benefits to drier skin, I will definitely keep using this product.

Overall, I would buy this again. It does the job well enough and didn’t irritate my dry and sensitive skin. It also made my skin feel refreshed and clean; wiping away the day.

Omg this is the Best cleanser I've used in a long time. Very light and fresh feeling applying to the face. Cleans the skin just as good as it hydrates! My skin feels super soft and rehydrated after applying this everytime! Removes make up super quick and with so much ease no rubbing is needed and without a sting to the eye. Best product to have packed in my suitcase to Tonga. Will continue to buy this product and I recommend everyone to try it!

Anything with the word Hyaluronic on it, I feel like it MUST be good. Thinking that I need to have it on my skin because it is known for plumping and helping with more youthful looking skin. The bottle itself is very generous I think considering you only need a small squirt of it on a cotton pad or whatever you use to distribute it over your face.

I love the colour of the bottle compared to the pink the other Garnier Micellar Water is. It is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye being a pastel green and also goes hand in hand with the aloe water feel. The smell is very refreshing and pleasing. It is actually quite awakening for the senses.

The Garnier Micellar Hyaluronic Aloe Water promises to cleanse, replump and remove makeup. I can confirm that it does two of these three things hence the review title. As a disclaimer I do feel that I need to add in there that I think given more time to use it, my opinion could change. I managed to review it for 6 days before writing this. I may come back and add to the review should I find it to be something other than a glorified makeup remover.

Final conclusions: Definitely removes my hard to remove eye make up so yay big tick. I no longer have to scrub it off! It cleanses to a point, but I think I never quite feel like it is clean enough. I tend to go over with a foaming cleanser which removes still more gunk. That to me is not a good cleanser. The replumping - I feel that the jury is still out on that one until I test it further. To date I will say no.

I’m a sucker for micellar waters so when the opportunity to trial this product came up, I got super excited as I hadn’t tried it before. Packaging for this is the same as the other Garnier micellar waters but with a green lid. The product itself is clear with the consistency of water. It has a very subtle aloe scent which I enjoy. I used this as part of my night time routine to take make up off and prep my skin for the skin care that follows. I put a little on a cotton pad then work it in circular motions all over my face. I use it to remove eye make up too. The micellar water removes it all with ease and quite gently as well. I never have to tug hard against my skin to remove any product. I would say my skin is normal to dry right now and this does not leave my skin dry. I feel as if my skin is ready and plumped. You do not need to rinse off before you go in with your moisturisers too. It’s so convenient when you only have a few minutes to do your skincare. The sizing is very generous and you receive 400ml of actual product. I feel as if it would last me a while as a little goes a long way! Overall I enjoyed using this and will continue to do so.

This cleanser is so easy to use and surprisingly removes all make up without leaving a rash from trying to remove your make up and bonus as it leaves your skin hydrated and feeling refreshed.
