Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Fabulous stuff! I usually wash my face using the oil method (oil breaks down oil - i use sweet almond - really is amazing, i highly recommend). This product was a great alternative, although i did find myself going through the bottle quickly as is spills out fast. Did sting a few times slighty, but overall works really well!

I first started using Miceller waters many many years ago, I was using a french brands one, very expensive, did an amazing job but stung my eyes. Then FINALLY the drugstore brands starting bringing these out! hallelujah! Of all the ones I've tried, the garnier one is by far the best, genuinely. It does such a good job at getting every bit of makeup off, it's SO good for those lazy nights when you're too exhausted to cleanse your face properly at the sink, as this is a rinseless cleanser. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily or dry after either, just feels like skin again. It's gentle on the eyes but still gets even long wear makeup off. I also like using it in the morning as a refresher. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin but strong enough to do the job. Fantastic packaging, affordable price, and now comes in a mini size too, I noticed. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this product, it's quickly become one of my favourite skincare products of all time. Truly.

I got this to review just in the nick of time - I was immobile for the week of my trial and so, the conventional methods of cleansing my face weren't open to me in the evenings so this became my way of cleaning off the warpaint before bed as I could do it, from bed.

It took four cotton pads/applications to get a full face of colourstay fabulousness from my face and this didn't even break me out. I even used some that was left in the final cotton pad to give my blending brush a quick clean between dark colours, ready for the next morning. It also helped to lift the foundation that had embedded itself into my powder brush.

If you own NARS blushes/bronzers, you know how manky the black compacts can get and I just used a bit of this again to give them a clean and bring them up like new!

Mascara transfer above the eye? a dot with a cotton bud and some of this removes it easily without damaging the look of the day too badly as well.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this micellar water- I had not tried this one previously but Had tried the simple brand one.

packaging is sleek and modern and appeals to the modern woman, comes in a couple of different sizes also which is great for travelling.

I found this great for removing makeup, but I did find it a bit bubbly, soapy when had used a lot to take off a full face of makeup. I wouldn't say its no rinse in this situation, I certainly felt like I needed to recleanse my face with my regular cleanser. If you shake the bottle it is kind of bubbly.

It does feel nice and I don't feel the need to recleanse when I use just a little for freshening up or say first thing in morning when my face isn't dirty yet.

it did make my face feel quite "squeaky" and very tight, even after moisturising it still felt a wee bit tight.

I have to say that it is phenomenal at removing water proof mascara (theyre real by benefit) it did a better job of removing that than any of my oil based eye makeup removers and even my trilogy balm. it was very impressive.

I would certainly purchase this again purely for how well it takes my waterproof eye makeuo off, I like it for a quick refresh so would use it for travel, but not as a no rinse cleanser.

Just makes my face feel too dry, I would recommend this to friends and family.

I am a huge fan of Garner, so it was pretty exciting to receive the invite to try this product. I must admit when it first came out I did do the missions around the supermarkets to find but no luck and just gave up on the product. First impressions of the product, I love the clear bottle and minimum branding so you can actually see how much is left in there compared to other products and brands! I thought it would be great for the soap bag and going away as its a small bottle and not overly bulky. Price wise, as i said above I'm a sucker for Garnier brand so Im happy to pay the price, but its not overly expensive and won't break the budget. To be completely honest I am not a huge eyeliner or heavy eye make up person so I found the product great for removing my minimum eyeshadow, bit of mascara and light application of foundation I do wear. I also used this after washing my face with water especially after working in a stinky hot kitchen and OMG the amount of dirt that came off onto the pad was freaky! I felt like I hadn't washed my face in over a week!! Overall my experience with this product was awesome, my skin was left feeling refreshed and clean. I had no issues with burning sensation or that risk of flaring up with a new product. It left my skin feeling soft and no issues of redness. I would happily continue to use the product, especially knowing that you can use it for so many other uses is awesome!

Wonderful product. Have mostly used this for taking makeup off before cleansing and it does the job. I have also used it for eye makeup smudge fixes and to quickly clean makeup brushes. It's a versatile product. Doesn't irritate my skin either and makes it feel cool and tingly.

I wanted to like this product because it sounded like such a quick and easy way to remove make up, but also had so many other uses as described on beauty review. The problem is that I just did not like the product at all. It was effective at somewhat removing the make up, but I wouldn't use it alone, my face did not feel clean afterwards (felt a bit tacky) and I felt like I needed to wash it with water and another cleanser. So I guess you could use the product to remove the majority of make up before you do another wash, but due to the number of cleansing pads needed and the extra time and effort, it definitely was not worth it. I will hold onto the product and use it for when I have heavier make up on, but it will probably not be my go-to daily make up remover/ cleanser.

so good, removes everything compared to other brands that claim to do the same thing. would definitely use again. removes both dirt sitting on skins and the toughest waterproof mascara
