Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I was a bit sceptical about this product but I'm always looking for products which save time so I was really glad to be on the review team.

I found that you don't need to use too much of it on the cotton pad. It is completely colourless and doesn't seem to have much of a smell which is good new for people with sensitive skin.

I did find that I didn't like the taste (I discovered this when I used it to remove lip gloss and the taste left on my lips wasn't good).

I think this is a good product to use after the gym, to clean your face off, and definitely for removing makeup. You can pretty much use it anywhere because you don't have to rince and I would say that's the main feature of this product.

This product is so easy and simple it really has changed my skin care routine for the better. I love the fact that there is no need to wash the product off and it leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh. It also saves so much time and working full time on the farm and with a small child time is a luxury. It really does remove all the makeup especially eye makeup with no hassles or excessive rubbing. I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone.

I can say without a doubt that this product is by far the best makeup remover I have EVER used! This sounds dramatic I know but it’s true.

I have sensitive skin and often have reactions to products like this around my eyes. I have not had any reactions with this product, as weird as it sounds it is almost feels like you are just using water!

I found that using two large cotton pads and the Cleansing Water removes ALL my makeup. So often when using other makeup removers or similar products I find there is left over makeup on my skin and no matter how many times I go over my face there is always something left. I don’t have that problem with this product!

There is not tight, over clean or left over residue feeling on my skin after use. I am finding I use less cleanser when I wash my face and only having to cleanse once as the first ‘remove the rest of my makeup that my makeup remover didn’t remove’ step has been already taken care of! BOUNUS

I had my doubts about how long this product would last, I thought I would need to use heaps to get all my makeup off but this doesn’t seem to be the case. I have been using it for about two weeks now and it has nearly reduce the amount in the bottle and I wear makeup everyday! So $12.99 for a 400ml bottle is a bargain.

I'm definitely a converted fan of this new type of cleanser - although not as a complete replacement of my current regime. I still need to do a daily scrub in the morning, but the Micellar Cleansing Water is great for the end of the day/after the gym/need a freshen up times. It takes makeup off fantastically well, with no scrubbing, which I think is super important (our poor faces go through enough as it is!). I was surprised at the grime that would come off even on the days I though my face was relatively clean - all with a few wipes. I can tell the product is going to be very cost-efficient. You only need a tiny bit of it on a cotton pad, and your whole face will get a thorough cleansing. Is a great alternative to the odd swipe with a cleansing wipe (or baby wipes at a push), and overall will end up costing less. A great new product, that left my face feeling fresh, and not at all like there was product left behind. 5 stars (well, kisses!)!

I hadn't heard of "Micellar" water before being involved in this trial, but a quick Google told me it was good at removing make up and kinder to your skin than make up removal wipes.

When I hear the word "cleanser" I think of the cleansers I use on the regular e.g. foaming ones, or ones like Cetaphil etc., and seeing as Micellar water seems to be an upgraded version of make up removal wipes (which I use sometimes to quickly take off all my make up after work before going for a run), the first thing I tried was using it to remove my daily full-face make up that I wear for work - thinking that the fact it was promoted as a cleanser, it'd effectively remove my foundation et al. It definitely doesn't! I ended up having to wash my face to get off most of my make up, but did notice that the Micellar water worked well at removing eye make up (mascara, liquid eyeliner).

From then on, I've been using it as both a toner and make up remover instead of what I usually use (witch hazel as a toner and a Nivea make up remover). It's really gentle and it does feel just like water on your skin! However, I'm acne prone and have oily skin and I have noticed that I'm breaking out a bit and getting lots of blackheads, which the witch hazel normally prevented to an extent. I'd probably recommend Micellar water more for people with normal or dry skin that don't have that much of a problem with acne etc.

Overall, I think I'll probably purchase Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water again as the RRP is great for the size, given that's what I pay for a much smaller bottle of make up remover at the moment. I think I'll stick to just using it as a make up remover, as it does seem to be kinder on the eye area than other removers. I was also happy to see the relatively short ingredient list!

A good, budget friendly product best suited for those who wear light make up if they want a complete make up remover in a bottle.

This is such a good product. Cleans my face super fast and very easy. I agree with them saying it acts like a magnet. My face has never been so clean after using this. It removes my makeup and even stubborn eyeliner very easy. You have to use a bit more than what they say, but it doesn't bother me because it's a very big bottle. It's also alcohol free which I like as a lot of makeup removers have alcohol in and I feel like it's not doing my skin any favors. I will definitely repurchase.

This product is great for sensitive skin, it removes makeup perfectly without needing to rinse it off. It's great for when you cannot be bothered to fully cleanse and wash tyour face. I like that ist has no fragrance or perfume as my skin usually reacts to products.

Not much of a fan of this product, but did find good value size wise, when first applying around my eyes it stang them a bit so then apply over rest of my face true to their words removed all makeup,impurities and dirt left face feeling smooth.Great not having to rinse off which is a +,I think what put me off was sore eyes and I know it said no perfume but it didn't have a nice smell so use to Garnier products smelling so good it was a let down in my eyes 100% agree this product did say a multipurpose cleanser did remove makeup,cleansed and soothes all in all a good product,good price and good size thanks for the trial

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water has revolutionised the way I clean my face; from not wanting to have the hassle of trying to wash my face in the sink without getting water all over myself and everywhere else. I now can clean my face, remove my makeup and doing this while not scrubbing my face raw but by gently wiping my face. The application is simple: just squeeze a bit onto a cotton pad. I would use this product by first removing my makeup with it (this would generally be about 2-3 cotton pads) and then going over once again with the cellar water once all my makeup is off. It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple and looking amazing. My skin has cleared up a lot as well as it evening out my skin tone and making the colour of my blemishes be a little bit more dull then a nice red colour. This product lasts a very long time! After using it since I have received it everyday I have used only about 40mls of the bottle. The price is also amazing at a only $13 it is affordable for everyone. I recommend this product to everyone and have myself started looking for where I can buy this product next for when I run out.

I was really excited to try this as I didn't know whether it would be able to remove makeup and still be as light as and watery as it looks! But it lives up to the test! It removes makeup well, and I love using it in the mornings to remove the little bits of makeup I've missed the night before. Best part, is that it leaves no oily residue on your face like wipes do! I can easily see this becoming part of my daily routine.
