After hearing all the hype about this 'magic water' i was super keen to try it. I purchased the smaller bottle, just as a tester so see if i liked it, and im glad i only purchased the small one. What a disappointment! It definitely didnt remove any of my make up and i dont even wear anything heavy. It left my skin feeling very dry. The consistency is exactly how you think; watery so make sure you squirt it onto a make up pad when using it. The worse part of this product was that it stung my eyes so bad! I would not recommend this to anyone and definitely wont be purchasing it for myself again.
Tips: If you are going to purchase this product, make sure that you also have some make up pads so you can squirt it onto them.
Wow this was a bad mistake on my part.
It burned my eyes, even when I kept the product away from my eye area. It felt like it stripped my skin of essential oils as my dry areas became very parched and flaky. Caused a rash to appear on my chin.
After purchasing it for full price of $12 from reading so many excellent reviews I felt like crying. A week of aloe vera only as skincare saw my skin recover but that bottle of evil water was going no where near my face ever again.
Heard it can be used to clean brushes but after what it did to my skin the bottle went into the bin
I have oily skin and I thought I'll buy the micellar for oily skin. As a result the first Garnier micellar product I used was the one for oily skin. But it ended up drying out my skin so bad my skin became even oilier.
So I thought ..hey I'd try this one. It is for sensitive skin so it must be gentle. Boy was I wrong or what. The one for oily skin only dried my skin out. This one did that and on top of that irritated my skin so bad, I couldn't use my regular cream afterwards without my skin burning. I had to use 100% pure aloevera on my skin to get it back to its normal state.
Thinking that the irritant must be the combination of this and my face wash, the next time I didn't cleanse my face and used this again after a week only to end up in the same situation. Since then I decided to stay far far away from it.
I must be sensitive to some ingredient in it. Good thing I only bought a small bottle.
I got this as a free sample size when I spent over a certain amount at a pharmacy. I was pretty excited to try it as I was almost out of my makeup remover at the time so thought this could be a good replacement. I tried to use it that night to remove my makeup but it was useless! I tried holding the soaked cotton pad over the eye area for a bit to give it more time and that helped a bit but I still feel I had to rub the delicate eye area too much for my liking. In the end I did keep it, I was traveling at the time so didn't have time to buy another makeup remover. It ended up being confiscated by airport security on my next flight because I accidentally left in my makeup bag (everything else was under 100ml, kinda annoying that the small size isn't actually travel friendly) but I wasnt upset by that as i usually would be to lose a product.
Tips: Hold the soaked cotton pad over the eye for 30secs plus to help remove makeup. Not a quick micellar water to use.
I feel like I'm one of the only ones who do not rave about this stuff. I'm actually going to struggle to finish the bottle - might have to give it away :(
Firstly, the product is a very generous size, I think it's claim of 200 uses is pretty spot on. I like that it doesn't irritate my skin or eye area at all but what I don't like is that it just doesn't budge double wear foundation or mascara.
I lose interest when you have to keep working at removing make-up and granted double wear can be hard to get off but the amount of make-up this doesn't remove is just too much for my liking. After using 4 cotton swabs the foundation and mascara is still visible on my face and my face feels slightly dry and tight.
I've found I achieve a better result with this if I only have BB cream of a foundation that doesn't have much staying power on, that seems to come off much more easily.
Perhaps it's the makeup I use but I definitely will not repurchase. I find oil cleansing much more suitable for me.
Tips: Perhaps rethink this purchase if you use foundation with real staying power.
