Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

So after hearing all the rave reviews about this from youtubers, bloggers and girls who had managed to get this from overseas, I was really hoping this would live up to the hype... And it 100% did!

I am so happy with this product that after using it, I cannot imagine going back to a regular cleanser.

This cleans off my eye makeup a hundred times better than any eye makeup remover I have tried, and without any of the irritation. I use it for cleaning off any excess makeup that my in-shower cleanser didn't get off, and I also use it to spot clean my makeup brushes. It does an amazing job at everything.

I love that the packaging is cute and it comes in such a big bottle, even though I'm sure I'll use it up in no time. I'm super excited to find out about all the different ways it can be used :)

I use this to take my makeup off moar nights, and it really works! I have to use a few more cotton pads than it suggests, and sometimes wipe quite hard, but overall super impressed with this time after time. It doesnt feel heavy and because it's clear like water, it looks and feels refreshing as well.

I was a little apprehensive of using this. When it arrived, it looked like baby oil, which is just way too oily and heavy to use as a cleanser.

Rest assured it was anything but. The liquid is light and not at all oily. It cleans thoroughly without leaving any residue on the skin. It left a refreshing comfortable feeling on my skin. There was no tight dry feeling at all, neither was there a gluggy yucky film to leave on the pillow.

It takes more than the half teaspoon recommended to clean off all traces of makeup, and I found that I still needed to use a toner to finish the job. But my skin did feel great even before moisturiser. I can recommend this product highly.

I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about this product prior to purchasing it. When I saw it was on special at Countdown I had to get it and try it for myself.

It comes in a verrry generous 400ml bottle which is clear with a pink lid. It's cute!

Now, I have used it in conjunction with my normal skin care routine as well as a final step just before going to bed (you know those kinds of nights when you've been out clubbing , when you get home taking off all your makeup is the LAST thing on your mind). I found that it look off a LOT of my makeup on those "I can't be bothered nights"

BUT .... I recently have been using it PRIOR to washing my face with my normal cleanser. I realised that it doesn't actually take off ALL my makeup... as my cleanser turns brown from the foundation it picks up that the micellar water has left behind.

It is a really good makeup remover, and I would recommend it for those off nights when you can’t be bothered with your full skin care routine, however, I would not recommend it as a replacement for a good cleanse.

I remember how crazy Makeup obsessives became when the Garnier Micellar water was released, it was a crazy frenzy, and finding this was so hard! For 3 months I tried to find this with no luck, It was so distressing when you want something but cant get your hands on one.

That was until people were having bad reactions to it, so many were having reactions to the Micellar water and that was enough to put me off purchasing the product. Months went by (and the craze had died down) when I finally purchased some.

I made sure the first time I used this that I would be wearing a full coverage foundation and heavy eye makeup just to test it out properly. I had soaked a handful of cotton pads with Micellar water and started at my forehead, I couldnt believe how easy it removed Estee lauder double wear foundation. Next was my eyes, it removed my dark eye makeup with ease. I was very VERY surprised with the outcome, especially when it looks like its just water from the outside.

It also makes my face feel so refreshed at the end of the day, it gives a cooling effect to my skin which is an added bonus. I have been using this product for 2+weeks and I have had no reaction to it (fingers crossed)

This product melts away makeup so easily, I am very happy with this product and I wish I had purchased some sooner. I would call this magical water, and yes I will be repurchasing this!

I was a bit skeptical of how well cleansing "water" would work, especially for removing waterproof makeup. I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately because I can't be bothered removing it! but I put some on to try this out, and I was shocked at how well it lifted everything! I only needed to use one cotton pad (both sides) and it got everything off without any hassle. When I use makeup wipes, I find I have to use a few to get everything off, which is a waste when there aren't many in a pack. Even makeup remover liquids I've used from the supermarket don't do a very good job.

The only bad thing I found with this, is that it made my skin oily if I didn't wash my face with water after cleansing with it. But that doesn't bother me too much as it works so great!

The bottle is a generous size and $12.99 is a good price considering how many uses you will get out of it. I will most likely purchase again when I run out!

When I first used this product I expected it to have no smell so it felt a bit strange at first but once I have completed I felt refreshed and clean. After using for a week I noticed my skin clearing up and not having to use as much make up as what I usually would have to. This product is no in my nightly routine. Love it!

Pleasantly surprised by this product. Doesn't look anything extra special although I very much appreciate the size of the bottle and the very affordable price for 400ml. Have used this for just over a week, both morning and night, and find it does live up to it's claims. The cleanser is fragrance free (huge-bonus for sensitive skin) and removed all my makeup following the directions on the bottle. Just a few wipes with a cotton pad and my skin was clean. Also liked that it didn't leave my face feeling sticky like some makeup removers I have tried do - nor did it leave my skin feeling tight which is another problem I have had in the past. Very satisfied and whilst I don't think this is a miracle product or anything special, it is a nice all rounder that I would buy again.

I have been using this product for the last week at night time to remove makeup before bed, I found it great for removing my make up easily without having to scrub it off, it even took my mascara off with out to much smudging. I liked that I didn't need to rinse my face afterwards and that it actually didn't have a chemical smell that toners and cleansers can have. Also I loved that this was a large bottle and you only need a very little bit so very good value for money. The packaging was great looked really fresh and clean. Overall I really liked how easy to use this product is and I recommend to all.

I really struggle to find a makeup remover that doesn't make me break out. I was so happy to find that this product not only removes makeup with ease, it also provides a clean refreshed feeling to my skin, and also leaves my skin feeling silky soft. The size of the bottle and the price is also absolutely working in its favour - I won't be looking for anything else now!
