'Cannot Live Without'

I absoloutely love this product. It swipes makeup off in seconds and I don't know what I could do without this product! I have repurchased the micellar water again and again throughout this year, and that will be staying the same. It fights tough mascaras e.g waterproof. And removes makeup in an instant!

No Cons

I love this product! I can't find any cons to this at all. It does exactly as it says, removes makeup and cleanses, definitely my favourite makeup remover as I am quite lazy :) I use this on cotton pads to remove eye makeup and foundation. For me it works quite well and removing mascara and eyeshadow etc without irritating my eyes, but I have read that it has irratated people's eyes so just be cautious of that when trying it out. I don't wear lipstick so im not sure how it works for that, but it does remove all of my foundation and eye makeup perfectly. I have sensitive skin and I'm prone to breakouts but this hasn't broken my skin out any more than usual.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I rarely wear make up. We are talking once in a blue moon here. Mum and I were shopping in countdown and my mum got this micellar cleansing water for me as I had been wanting to buy it for ages! I have gotten it purely for removing dirt and everything else from my face as stated above I don't tend to wear makeup all too often.

This might sound funny but I did a full face of foundation the other day just to see if the micellar water would remove it and it sure did, like a breeze! I do have to say though the cotton pad got pretty dirty real quick with no extra hard rubbing or anything required! It didn't sting my face or anything which is a big plus.

I have recently broken out so much on my chin because of Aunt Flow being on the horizon. It is not a fun time having all these pimples. There was a funny feeling when I applied my micellar water to my chin area but I think this was only because the pimples were very active and open. Other than that the micellar water removed gunk from my face that had gathered over the course of the day. Even though it says you don't have to rinse it off, I like to do so anyway.

All in all the micellar cleansing water is a must have. It is super easy to use and it had pretty awesome results. I would recommend to anybody that is umming and ahhing over whether to purchase this product or not. :)

A bit harsh on my skin

I used this to remove my make up and while it did an alright job, there was still a bit of residue. When I got to my waterproof mascara, it did come off eventually, but it took a while and a bit of rubbing and by the end of it all, my skin, especially my eye area, stung a bit. I will continue to use the rest of the bottle, not as a make up remover, but just as a quick cleanser on days I wear no make up and can't be bothered cleansing properly, but I won't be repurchasing.

Wasn't for me

Everybody raved about this product but when I tried it I found it was actually really drying on my skin even though I moistured afterwards and I also found my skin started to break out after a week of using it, so I stopped when I did use it though I found it was pretty good at removing make up etc a lot of ladies swear by this product but I personally didn't like it

WINNER

I love this micellar water. It is the best value micellar water, great price for a large decent size bottle. It removes makeup brilliantly and effectively. However, it is not the best at removing waterproof mascara and eyeliner (it can remove it, but not completely, leaves a bit of residue, it requires a bit more rubbing to get waterproof makeup off). It does not dry out or irritate my skin. It is gentle on my skin, not feeling oily nor dry. It works really well for people with sensitive skin like me.

I apply it on a cotton pad, place it on my eye, wait for a few seconds and then gently wipe the make-up off my eyes and skin. It does not irritate the eye area, does not leave my eyes stinging. I actually enjoy taking off my makeup every day.

The only letdown is I found it hard to control how much water comes out of the. Overall, it is an amazing product that takes off makeup quickly. Especially, at nights when I am super tired and can’t be bother, it is such a time saver. I usually take off my makeup with it then wash my face with my cleanser. Super clean skin before bed!

Slightly dissapointing

I was really excited to use this product as it sounded amazing. Unfortunately it did not deliver on it's promises. It required considerable effort to remove my waterproof mascara and it did not remove all my foundation. My eyes felt irritated after use. My skin seemed to have some sort vaguely sticky residue after using it which required the use of water to eliminate. I now use it in addition to my normal make-up remover and face wash in the quest for super clean pores and skin!

Tips: I would recommend it as as addition to your normal cleansing routine but not as a substitute for it. Be careful using it around the delicate eye area as it can lead to irritation.

Disappointing

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.

Thats a shame you found that, I dont seem to have any trouble getting my Kat Von D or Estee lauder double wear off with this but I dont set my foundation so maybe that might be a point of difference :)

Pleasantly Surprised

I was a bit skeptical using this as I heard really mixed reviews but I really wanted to try it so I picked it up anyway.

It comes in a big clear bottle with a pink flip top lid. Its a big sized product claiming that its got 200 uses probably is about right.

This has no smell and has an easy flow to get product out although I did find it came out a bit too quick if I wasnt paying attention and would totally sog a cotton pad or ball.

I used this to remove all sorts of different foundations from my Estee Lauder doublewear, Kat Von D Lock it and various mineral foundations it removed all of them and easily. it didnt require a whole lot of rubbing or going over I was really pleasantly surprised by this. It did take a little bit more elbow grease to remove my waterproof mascara but I was ok with that.

It didnt give me any irritation and it left my skin feeling surprisingly soft and hydrated and clean.

I will definately be buying this again. Pleased I changed my mind and tried it anyway

Fabulash!!!

I was so so so pleased with this products!!! Not so much for removing makeup on my face but more my eyes, I have quite sensitive skin around the eye area so it's always hard to find a subtle makeup remover for my eyes. But this was perfect and make the skin around my eyes feel quite soft

Tips: Used a small "squirt" on a square cotton pad and hold on the eye area for 30 seconds and slowly wipe away
