Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Now I had seen a lot of hype around these micellar waters. And honestly - as someone who is a traditional wash and scrub girl I was pretty skeptical. Usually on days I wear makeup (which isn't all that often) I would use a make up wipe or two to remove what I had worn that day/night and then be done with it.

So when I ran out of my trusty wipes and came across this in the supermarket I figured why not.

Now on a note, something that really drew me in was the price point. Usually I pay anywhere between 7-15 dollars for each pack of facial wipes. This bottle cost me $9 and promises 200 uses..who was I to say no to that?!

My method is that I will soak two cotton pads. Use the first one for an all over wipe down and the second to get any grime I missed.

While it doesn't take off any heavy duty mascara it does a pretty good job of getting my face clean. It feels fresh, light and doesn't dry it out too bad. Although I still follow up with a moisturizer.

This was one of those products that got ALL the hype, it was talked about everywhere I went. On Social Media everyone was uploading photos of this new creation, it was nearly as crazy as a new Whittaker's Chocolate being bought out. So with all the hype I decided to try it out.

At first I loved it, this product was brilliant. It removed all my makeup without any struggle, it even took of my mascara which was usually a problem with most cleansers.

However, after a couple of weeks my skin started to change, my foundation wouldn't stay on anymore. It got worse, I couldn't blend foundation into my skin, it would just sit on the surface of my skin & wouldn't blend into my pores. My skin became oily, never in my life had I had oily skin. I stopped using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water immediately as this was the only new product I had started using, 2 months later my skin is still getting back to normal, it's not as oily as it was but I HIGHLY recommend you research this product before you start using it - I guess it depends on the type of skin you have, but for myself with normal to dry skin - it was a nightmare.

wow, I am now cleansing and taking off my make up every night. I like the fragrance, the bottle, the price......everything. I have used the expensive brands of cleansers all my life so was dubious about this but it works.

i absolutely adore this product. not only does it cleanse your skin, but it also easily removes makeup at the same time. i use it daily and would recommend to anyone in need of a cleanser or make up remover.

Not a fan. I've tried to love it. I really did. I dislike (intesely) the amount of cotton pads I need to use to remove my makeup (I wear a full face each day). Also, I userproof mascara and eyeliner:This won't remover that, back to Neutrogena Oil Free makeup remover I go. This also leaves a greasy feel to my skin -I can't wait to clean my skin properly. All in all, for makeup removal, I much prefer Clinique Take the Day Off Balm: Or coconut oil!

I have been using this product for about a month now. I love it more than any makeup remover i have tried (and i have tried alot!) It makes my skin so soft and clean. Compared to makeup remover wipes it actually removes EVERYTHING. So easy to use and no nasty chemicals!

I might be a little Garnier bias when it comes to beauty product but products like this give me a reason to be.

I have very sensitive skin so I am very sceptical when it comes to using products on my face. I found this water like product to be very gentle on my skin and didn't leave me with any red patches or rashes like some products do.

The bottle is quite big so it will last you a long time. But ultimately found that it removed my make up very easily and left my face feeling nice and refreshed.

A good touch to make it fee natural was that there was no scent which was really nice.

Good for people with sensitive skin.

I bought this bad boy after i had heard so much about it on a make up page I was on in Facebook. It had been hyped a ridiculous amount, to the point it was selling out as soon as it hit the shelves when it first became available in NZ. When i finally got my hands on it, i thought it was very good for taking off make up - my double wear - which usually takes a life time to get off so i was happy. however after using the product for a while i noticed it was causing me to break out and for that reason i give it the scores i do. it did what it said, but overall i would'nt recommend a product that induces acne. However, i found that it did serve as a great spot cleaner for my brushes!

Garnier skin products have to be my least favourite skin care products sadly..

When I was in high school I tried all Garnier products to only find out they were the reason for my acne.

My skin did not agree with the ingredients used in their products and I would break out like crazy.

I really did not have high expectations for this product at all so when it first came out I had no idea what the big deal was.

I decided to pick it up from my local supermarket.. Which turned out to be harder than I thought, every where I went it was sold out.

It took me about a good month to finally get this little precious baby in my hands.

The first week with the micellar water was mixed emotions as I felt like it was breaking me out (turns out aunt flow arrived that week).

I stuck with it and oh my goodness. I am so pleased that I did.

I love this stuff it takes everything off! and I mean EVERYTHING! all my makeup from the day.

I used to get out of the shower and have mascara still under my eyes, I now do not have this problem.. If I remember to use it before my shower.

It says that it is suitable for all skin types and is perfume free so it works wonders on sensitive skin.

I am super stoked that I brought two bottles of this stuff. I honestly can not say one bad thing about it.

This is definitely the best makeup remover I have ever purchased.

You can find it at your local supermarkets or department stores for around $14.00NZD.
