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.
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.
Tips: Pour the product gently onto a cotton pad, it doesn't take a lot to soak it! Lightly sweep over the face, it's gentle enough for the eyelids and lips too.
