Garnier Micellar Cleansing Milky Water Review

I really enjoyed using this product. It did what it said it would. Was a nice creamy milky texture & didn’t dry out my skin. Gentle. I liked that it’s a decent sized product & being creamy you didn’t need to use a lot & could massage it into your skin & wipe it off. I didn’t get any reactions & my face felt clean. No overwhelmingly strong smell either it was pleasant. Highly recommend.

I keep getting these micellar water products in my beauty subscription boxes, this one came from my June Makeup Obsessives box and I got a full size 400ml one. I use these up when I wear eyeshadow or a lot of foundation/powder on my face, but I still use my cream cleanser after and wash with warm water, just don’t double-cleanse, so to me these just take most of my makeup off first before cleansing as usual. I use cotton pads with this, so it’s a bit of a waste as well, to me these micellar water products are all duds really, I don’t know why we have them in the first place or why anyone would just use a cotton pad soaked in this and not rinse the face off with water? The milky texture is nice though and it doesn’t irritate or sting my skin, it is not drying, but I use my other face care products straight after, so not sure how it would be without a moisturiser afterwards. It might be just me, but I prefer a cream cleanser with a washable washcloth.

I love this! Two days of using it, and I have found my HG micellar. I thought I liked other ones, but after using this, I realise that they might have cleaned my face, but this stuff cleans AND comforts. Milky in colour and thicker than the ususal 'waters', this product is applied the same way, via wipes or cotton wool. I use this for the second cleanse of my evening double cleanse. It removes my non waterproof mascara easily and with no stinging. There is no tight feeling afterwards, which, tbh, I didn't even realise there was there with the other waters until I used this, and realised it wasn't there. I will be using this until forever!

This micellar water is quite different to the usual micellar water i have used. It’s a little thicker with an opaque milky appearance. After using it for sometime, i still have trouble dispensing the appropriate amount onto my cotton pad. I always seem to either not get enough out for a good cleanse, or overdo it.

Anyways, due to it’s milky texture, i found it less cooling on the skin in comparison to the normal micellar water, so for a hot summer day cleanse i still prefer the latter. However, due to it’s more milky consistency, it provides the skin with a nice layer of moisture. It felt a little sticky at first, but my skin felt nice soft and hydrated afterwards. Just think of a light milky cleanser that doesn’t need rinsing.

Like make up remover wipes, I like to use it to briefly remove my make up after work when i feel my skin needs a breathe of air. I would use another cleanser later in the evening for a proper cleanse. For a proper clean, i do need to use at least three cotton pads to remove most my make up.

So here it is.. a slightly more hydrating milky micellar cleanser.

However

This micellar water is really think almost like a gel, its defiantly got a milky appearance. I think it removes makeup fine like normal micellar water, but personally i will always follow up with a wet cloth and/or cleanser to make sure my makeup is really gone.

I picked this up from Countdown in my regular weekly shop . I’m all about Micellar water as it helps assist with my make up removal . I wear a full face to work every day .

Packaging represents the garnier brand well pink and clear bottle . You can see this milky water . Consistency reminds me of blobbly cloudy gel like . Nothing like water . I was expecting it to be more fluid like the micelar water . Not the case her . I put a patch of it on my jawline it felt stingy and sticky . My skin definitely did not like it . My skin was left blotchy with red marks days later I had dry patches . I don’t know why this was happening . I’ve never had problems with my other micellar waters from this brand .

All I can say is this was not suitable for my skin type which is combination skin . Instead I’ve been using it as a brush cleaner which doesn’t seem to bother my skin this way . Even though this happened for me might not happen for others.

i have very oily sensitive acne prone skin ,but when i use this micellar water my face tends to have more breakouts ,i think its more suitable for dry skin .

Im obsessed with this I use first thing in the morning when I get up to wake up my face and at night It's super gentle on my face no redness or resedue left.
