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!

Tips: Use a face cloth if you don't have cotton pads, works just as well
I was so stoaked to hear that Garnier had brought out a micellar water designed for dry or sensitive skin.
I have sensitive skin and I had previously tried the original micellar water and it reacted with my skin. So safe to say I was super excited to try this out.
I used the product as directed and it is such a quick way to cleanse my face and remove my makeup at the end of the day.
The morning after I first had tried this I woke up with a couple of dry red patches on my face. But I have learnt to minimise that by using a super hydrating moisturiser after using the micellar water. I like how its milky and hyrating- not drying like the other formula. 400mls is enough for 200 applications so I feel this would last for a long time.
This product claims that it is suitable to remove makeup including eye makeup. I have learnt that it irritates my eye area and it will sting like heck. I dont use this to remove any makeup from my eye area.
I love how Garnier designed this for dry and sensitive skin. Such a wonderful thing to do for all of use with these skin issues.
Tips: Keep it away from your eye area and use a good moisturiser after application
I can't express enough how much I love this product!! I was not expecting it to be so thick but it has a lovely consistency and it's so effective at removing all of my makeup. I use reusable makeup clothes, wet with a small amount of this product and find that it removes every bit. I have been using this as soon as I get home to freshen up my skin and then shower and apply my nightly serums. It leaves my skin cleansed, refreshed and ready for further skincare. I have noticed no irritation and can confidently use it around my eye area as well. I will dedicate be repurchasing!
Tips: Use with a reusable makeup clothe, such as Take It Off
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.
Tips: You don't really need to do anything special with this product, using it with a cotton pad is enough.
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.
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.
Tips: Use a little bit at a time - you can always use a second pad, and do not squeeze the bottle it comes out quickly without any pressure
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.
Tips: The lid/cap is abit flimsy and could be easily broken. I would definately be careful travelling with this in your bag but otherwise it's a fantastic product!
I have quite sensitive skin and other miceller cleansers have been too harsh, seeing milky in the title gave me hope maybe this one would be for me. And it was, i had no irritation what so ever. It did refresh and cleanse my face as it says, while removing makeup and left no residue on my face and didn't feel sticky as it dried off. Simple non-waterproof makeup (I didnt try with waterproof) came of easily with no rubbing or stinging of my eyes. A little went a long way on a cotton pad so i feel a bottle will last you a long time.
Overall, super happy with this product and will buy again!
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.
Tips: If you want to remove heavier makeup, use a cloth or flannel before using this water.
