Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I have mixed feelings about this product - I was expecting quite a bit from it, especially as a makeup remover. Overall I was a bit disappointed - I find it didn't work that great on eye makeup (mascara and eyeliner in particular). The first time I used it, it still felt like I was wearing lots. I also used it on my face to remove tinted bb cream/foundation - but when I wiped my face afterwards with a wet cloth - I still had makeup come off on it. The bottle also says you shouldn't need to wipe your face afterwards - but I felt that my skin felt a little sticky.

I next few times I used it I used a bit more product - and rubbed my face a bit more until I felt like I got it all off.

One thing I did like about it is that even though I have quite sensitive skin, especially with ezcema around my eyes, it doesn't irritate it.

Update: I've been using this for a few months now and have grown to like it! (and only just needed to repurchase!). I still cleanse a second time afterwards, because I find that it doesn't get all of my makeup off the first time - but it does leave my face/neck feeling super clean!

I have been a regular user of toners and cleansers but this product is fantastic! Whether im out on sat night and come home to take me up off or just a freshen up after work. It works a treat. And dosnt dry skin out..my skin is looking brighter too..I have sensitive skin and has not reacted skin at all..great product..recommend!!

I have been using Garnier Micellar for a few days now, and I'm very impressed with the result on my skin. Normally I uses face soap to wash and clean my make up, this will leave my skin very dry and I have to apply face moisturizer straight after shower. With Garnier Micellar, I uses cotton pad as per instruction to apply to my face. It's very easy to remove my make up. I don't need to rub hard, and it cleanses my skin. I tried not to use moisturizer on day one just for an experiment, and it keeps my skin soft and moistened the whole day! So it really does what it says. Totally recommend this product!

Garnier has impressed me this time with this cleansing water, its packaging is simple, very flexible , meaning less waste in landfills, on a downside the lid, has the ability to be opened in transit, or in yor bag if you are going away. The product has a water type appearance, is clear with a watery touch, one could almost mistake it for water as such, no smell no perfume and no residual feel on your hands or face, on application the product removes impurities from skin without having the need to rinse off, it did have some trouble with makeup but that was easily dealt with by using a second application, It certainly left my skin feeling fresh, and clear, in regard to acne it would need further use to see if it reduces. Overall the product is value for money providing a new way of removing makeup, t

I'd read about micellar water and must admit I was a little dubious but jumped at the chance to try it.

Firstly I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bottle and jumped to the conclusion that meant you need a lot of it - the first night proved me wrong! The packaging is bright and modern and simple. The top is sturdy but easy to open and the size of the hole is perfect - it makes it impossible to use too much!

I also thought it would smell but it really doesn't - maybe only a tiny bit but it's very pleasant.

The consistency is as expected - watery but is nice to use. My skin can break out at almost anything but even after a week my skin is still clear (very happy).

It claimed that you don't have to rub to remove make up and I initially didn't find this to be correct - I did have to rub to remove my mascara, but it did remove it very well and I didn't have to runrub as hard as with my normal cleanser. I realised on about day 3 that if you use it like nail varnish remover (hold and wipe) it made a huge difference.

My skin has been clean and soft - so soft that when I realised at 10am that I'd forgotten to put my moisteriser on I touched my face and was amazed to see how soft it still was!

If this really is $13 for this size bottle when it comes onto the market, I'll be a definite convert!

Thank you for the opportunity to review this product. First of all, I love the size of the cleanser and the price. I think it's great value for money. Overall the packaging is simple but effective. There was no noticeable smell which was great and it was lovely and non irritating on my face. I found it quick and easy to use, it worked well for removing makeup and was a wonderful quick cleanser too. I have found it very nice and refreshing, especially in this hot weather when my face gets a bit sweaty after long walks or working out, also at night when I just want to get to bed, it's great to have a quick clean. Overall I have found this product to be quick and easy to use, great value for money, a good size and great on my skin.

In the summer I always struggle to get my skin to feel healthy, but in using the Micellar Cleansing Water for the last week, its feeling so much better. Cleaner, clearer and its great for a busy mum, not having to wash it off!!!

Garnier is a brand that I love in terms of skin and hair care. This product I found was okay ... Nothing spectacular. I felt better knowing that I had washed my make up up with something other than just warm soapy face towel. But in terms of the product I don't find that it made my skin feel super clean or anything. I found it to be very much just like water to be honest. I will however continue to use this and see how it goes and I have heard so many other people rave about it. I usually have dry ish skin so am unsure if this is a factor in me finding it not so amazing as other girls. Definitely will recommend to friends to try though as I've heard amazing things about it from other people's experiences and definitely applaud Garnier on the size of product for price ! Awesome pricing as usual.

I love this product! It feels so natural on my skin as it is so light. It is super easy to use and I can tell it will last as the bottle is huuuuge!! It is surprising how much makeup actually comes off - thank god for this new product.Thanks BR you are amaze x

I was a little apprehensive of using this. When it arrived, it looked like baby oil, which is just way too oily and heavy to use as a cleanser.

Rest assured it was anything but. The liquid is light and not at all oily. It cleans thoroughly without leaving any residue on the skin. It left a refreshing comfortable feeling on my skin. There was no tight dry feeling at all, neither was there a gluggy yucky film to leave on the pillow.

It takes more than the half teaspoon recommended to clean off all traces of makeup, and I found that I still needed to use a toner to finish the job. But my skin did feel great even before moisturiser. I can recommend this product highly.
