Garnier Micellar Cleansing Milky Water Review

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

Pros: - Love the bottle, great size and snaps shut, so no leakages - Good value for money - you get a lot of product and only need to use a small amount! - Takes makeup off well, no harsh scrubbing - Smells nice and fresh

Cons: - The instructions say that no rinsing is needed - but I just found the thicker milky texture too weird and definitely needed to rinse this off - Not a standout product for me. Misceller waters are generally quite similar and work just as well as each other. I do love using misceller water for that fresh morning feeling, but I don’t get that with this texture.

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.

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 received this in a black box. I found it to not be the most effective in removing stubborn eyemakeup.

It could be unrelated but I had allot of breakouts around the time I was using this product, I feel it wasn’t right for my skin and caused them.

It doesn’t have a smell, the texture is nice and it doesn’t sting if you get it in your eyes so these things are a bonus.

I was quite excited when I saw this was released! I love the Garnier original micellar water so was super keen to give this a go.

It comes in the same sturdy bottle the original comes in and has a great pourer - just the right amount comes out. I use about two drops per cotton pad for it to get rid of all my makeup.

The consistency is a thick liquid - kind of like moisturiser and the smell is just....clean smelling, which is perfect for what it is in my opinion!

It does remove makeup pretty well but I do feel I need at least two cotton pads for it to do my entire face properly. I usually use a third as well just to make sure there's no little bits left.

Compared to the original I do find that it leaves my skin feeling a little bit more moisturised but nothing to rave about.

I prefer the original as it feels fresher and cleaner and a bit easier because of the consistency. This one feels a bit weird wiping off my mascara and I find it makes my eyes sting a little.

This product is fine and I know I'll use it up. But would I repurchase? Probably not.

I have tried a few Micellar cleaning waters and have to say I prefer the milky consistency of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Milky Water. I found it to effectively remove my makeup with no irritation to my dry sensitive skin but unfortunately it did cause irritation to my eyes meaning I needed to use a separate eye makeup remover. Personally I like to be able to use one product to do the lot so it won't be at the top of my list for future purchase

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 .

The good things about this product are: affordability, it’s easy to use, no unpleasant odours, attractive packaging, my sensitive skin didn’t react and it’s a good sized bottle. Plus my skin does feel lovely and soft. But did it remove my make up properly? No. It was particularly ineffective on eye make up. Did my skin feel refreshed & fully cleansed? No. My skin felt like it had a plastic coating on it after I used Garnier’s Micellar Milky Water and I’ve had a major breakout. At 47 my days of pimples & spots should be well behind me. Is one cotton pad enough? No. I don’t use heavy make up & even on no make up days I was using 2-3 pads before they showed no signs of make up and following up with eye make up remover to remove mascara properly. Overall this product feels like a waste of time and money and I’ll be sticking to a cleanser, water & clean face cloth.
