Garnier Micellar Cleansing Milky Water Review

I was impressed with the size of the bottle which amounts to great value for money! When I used the Micellar water I noticed it was thicker than regular Micellar water and didn't soak into the cotton wool pad. When I wiped it over my face it felt nice and didn't drag my skin. I have been using some heavy foundation and although this removed some, it didn't remove all of it. I used my regular toner afterwards and I noticed a lot of foundation hadn't been removed. The scent was pleasant and after use my skin felt soft and hydrated. I use it in the morning and it leaves my skin feeling lovely. I have had no irritations from using this and it has left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.

First thoughts - great sized bottle and bound to last for ages. Quite runny so first couple of times I used it, it went everywhere. Makes removing make up easy especially when times is limited. Removed mascara well but I did feel like I needed to wash my face afterwards as my skin felt like it had a residue on it and felt sticky.

I was really stoked to get to review this product as I have dry skin and also am an avid micellar user. I wasn't really digging my current micellar but I'm not one to waste so I was pushing through with it.

This is very different to the other brands I've used. Firstly it has a milky consistency, similar to a milky cleanser. If you like the "nothing" finish a usual micellar leaves you might not like this, but for someone with dry skin, I really like the residue it leaves, it's very subtle and just feels like an extra hydration layer left on your skin. It's effective at removing all eye makeup with just a cotton pad and just leaves skin feeling fresh for when you don't have time for a full cleanse.

The price and size of the bottle makes it a very affordable option, I'll definitely look towards repurchasing this product.

On first impressions this 400ml bottle looks simple, plainly packaged, no fuss, the bottle itself is oval shaped, so it won't take up too much real estate in the shower caddy. The lid has a tab on it, which I love, as it is not a struggle to open this with wet hands (more manufactures should take note on the lid design). I expected this to have a sweet smell, according to the bottle it is fragrance free, there is a slight chemical smell, but it isn't off-putting. I don't have cotton pads so I improvised, putting this on a folded face cloth, then using gently to remove my makeup, it felt quite nourishing on my skin, and even though you don't have to rinse this off, I did. My skin instantly felt smoother and clean, the test was when I looked in the mirror, no panda eyes from mascara and eyeliner, I was quite impressed! The need for me to moisturise immediately after cleansing was not there, I truly felt that all of my makeup was removed and my skin cared for. I can fully recommend this if you have combo skin, as my dry skin wasn't irritated and my T zone was left de-slicked, so its a big tick from me!

Very generous 400ml size bottle with flip top for easy use (i would worry about the lid lifting if thrown in my gym bag). As a full time working mother of 3 teenagers, i have to have a quick and easy regime at the end of the day to remove my make up.. I love the 'lazy girl method' of removing my make up in front of the telly or in bed by using the versatility of micellar water and make up wipes. As we head into the cooler seasons with the frequent use of heatpumps my skin can become more sensitive with itchiness and dryness prevalent. I found the soothing cooling milky texture of the micellar milky cleanser felt lovely - a little bit went a long and did do a good job of removing my make up. I did feel I had to repeat the process using about 3 cotton pads and I did feel that I wanted to 'rinse off ' afterwards due to the milky texture feeling similar to a cleansing lotion. I found this product was more suitable for use on a Sunday light makeup for quick and easy removal as I found I needed too much product for a weekday full make up. I did find the taste left on my lips a little offensive as the micellar I use presently is tasteless and doesn't sting around my eyes at all. A great addition to the range of fabulous Garnier micellar waters.

First off I'm a little superficial with products. I love the pink accents on the packaging and milky white priduct inside just looks awesome. Right up my alley.

The product feels nice on my skin. Left my skin feeling silky smooth and nourished also. No dryness in sight. I have not tried a leave on cleanser before and I thought it was great!

It has absolutely no scent to me. So works well with my scented moisturiser.

Reccomended product for sure. I will continue to use this.

With make up applied, it took about 3 or 4 round cotton pads with the miscellar water to take all the makeup off including eye makeup (plus a little bit of remaining foundation came off when applying toner afterwards) It was definitely moisturising and my normally dry skin didn't feel tight afterwards.

I personally prefer to use cleansing foam and rinse off with water, so without rinsing my cleansing routine felt slightly incomplete, but for people who would normally use cleansing water this is definitely a nice choice for dry skin. The generous amount in the bottle also doesn't make you feel bad about using it liberally.

I have wanted to love Micellar before, but unfortunately in the past my skin has been left incredibly dry and red from it. Not Anymore!

This stuff is amazing. I used after washing my face with water in the shower, so you think it would be mostly clean right? However the cotton pad turned black the first day. I was horrified! However with twice daily use it has improved heaps. I use in the morning after my shower before putting my moisturizer or bb cream on and at the end of the day before my night cream. I have trialled it for a week now and my skin looks and feels amazing. I don't think I will use anything else now.

It is thicker than micellar i have used in the past, its very similar to milk consistency as it says. It has little to no smell. It did sting a little when I got some in my eye but it quickly stopped and it wasn't unbearable.

I would definitely recommend to everyone with dry sensitive skin

Comes in a generous 400ml format for up to 200 uses (with a cotton pad)

My Garner Micellar Cleanising Milky Water arrived fully intact. As per the “normal” Micellar water this one is also a 400l bottle with an easy flip top (tip – secure with a bit of tape when travelling). It has a milky liquid, consistency thicker than normal Micellar wate, but don’t make the same mistake I have, and squeeze the bottle, it comes out quickly.

It applies really smoothly with a cotton pad and wipes away gently any make up, I do suggest do do a second cotton pad just to ensure all your make up is completely removed. I loved the thicker cosnsitancy, I asssume this is because of the moisturiser withi the product, it made my skin feel pretty hydrated after using, and a few times I just did not bother with an additional moisturiser, I just whipped a bit of BB cream over and I am good to go. It worked great for my dry sensitive skin and I had no reaction to it at all, left my skin beautifully cleaned with out any rubbing or scrubbing.

I absolute love the big bottle (400ml), but hopping that Garnier will also bring out a smaller size, which would be great for the handbag and travelling. One only use a bit on a cotton pad and the product last for at least 4-6 weeks depressing on the amount used, but as I said a little bit goes a long way, and always start with they eyes.

Do like the recyclable bottle – please remember to remove the stickers before putting them in recycling – they are really easy to remove.

Overall I found that the product did what they said it would, and I found it a welcome addition to normal stash of beauty products, in which Micellar water always appears.

At around $10-$12 a bottle I find it affordable especially because the product last quite a long time.

I love micellar waters and have used alot of different ones from various brands, all of them however seem to leave my skin a little dry feeling afterwards. Not this one though, it's amazing! And I'm so glad to have discovered it. The Garnier micellar milky water will now be my go to for removing my makeup. It's lovely and my skin feels great afterwards. Great size bottle and so many uses, upto 200 it states on the packaging but I don't use alot so I think perhaps even more than that. Recommend 100% for those with dry skin.
