Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I have been using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for about 4 days now. I've used it as a normal cleanse, a make up removed, and a way to clean my face in the middle of a day after a dramatic spilling incident with my 11 month old son! (ew!). I will say, it does what it says it will do. It removes make up and dirt and leaves my face feeling clean as if I've just used a cleanse and rinsed it off.

It is a really good sized bottle (400ml) and the spout is easy to just squeeze onto a cotton ball or pad. I have found you do need to be mindful about how much you use, as too much will just make for a watery face and it does sting a tad if it gets in your eyes!

It removed my waterproof mascara with ease, as well as many layers of foundation and primer! So removing make up - TICK!

It left my face feeling cool and fresh after use!

I have sensitive skin so I was prepared for a stinging sensation once I had used it for the first time, and perhaps a couple of pimples after a few days. NOPE! They did not arrive! BONUS!

My skin was clear and clean! I really do love it!

The one flaw: I do feel the tightness of my skin afterwards really uncomfortable. I have to use moisturizer straight away or it's really unpleasant.

I'm frequently too lazy to bother with makeup remover (which is horrible I know) but this stuff's so easy to use that I've found myself remembering to take my makeup off more and more. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily (which I've gotten from a lot of makeup removers in the past) and it takes off makeup pretty easily and also leaves your face feeling clean. I'm still not really sure how it works but I like it and I'll definitely continue using it in the future.

I'm always nervous when it comes to trying Garner products as I have reacted badly to several in the past. However I was pleasantly surprised by the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. It did feel like I was just putting water on my face. It removed all my makeup gently with just a few gentle wins and left my skin feeling clean and very soft. I will keep using this product.

I do like this cleanser. Comes in a lovely clear bottle so you can see how much you have left. Squeeze a little onto a cotton pad, you don't need too much as makes your face too wet. I found that I needed three cotton pads to get all my make up off. It didn't however remove my waterproof mascara, I tried several times but it stayed put. Did sting my eyes a little too. My skin felt very smooth and clean. I found that putting a moisturiser on afterwards was a good idea as my skin was a little tight. My face did feel refreshed afterwards, was surprised that it felt so clean. Would use this again.

I must have been hiding under a rock, as I had never heard of Micellar cleansing water. When I started to read some reviews I was intrigued. And I must say this product didn't disappoint! The packaging is nice and feminine looking, pink lid, easy pour dispenser, so you can control how much comes out. It looks clean and clear and inviting to use. It smells a bit like witch hazel toner, which isn't unpleasant. I currently use Double wear foundation , which is notoriously hard to remove, so I was a bit sceptical as to whether "water" would do it. But amazingly it does! I did use four cotton pads, instead of the one recommended, but it removed every ounce of my foundation, and left my skin feeling smooth and comfortable, not at all dry and tight, and neither was it oily. I am a convert for sure! Amazing and so convenient, I can sit in front of my favourite tv show and remove my makeup , so that its all done by bedtime, as sometimes, when I drag myself to bed , I have to force myself to remove my makeup ( and occasionally, not often, I have slept in it, naughty I know how bad it is for my skin) The only issue I have with this product is that it doesn't remove my mascara, which is waterproof, even if I soaked a pad and left it on my eye for 1 minute, it still didn't come off. I think an oily remover is the only way to remove waterproof mascara. But that's ok, I'm so happy with the job it did on my skin, I can cope with removing my mascara separately!

It seemed to good too be true, a cleanser with simple, yet almost perfect cleansing capability. After reading the hype I was sceptical, dubious and dead curious to give it a try. Here I go with the simple verdict: yes, it works as it says it does, yes, my skin is completely cleansed, yes my skin feels good and ready for night cream or makeup and yes, its quick and easy. So, looks like a winner all round. It retails at 3.99 UK pounds and I saw in Oz for AUS$11.99. the other day. This water product should be as cheap as chips in its simple clear plastic bottle; lets see if it is.

I have been using this morning and night as well as 1/2 hour before applying my makeup. To be honest I was not expecting alot from this as I have used Garnier skincare prducts in the past and my skin would react to it . . . but wanted to see what all the hype was with this item. So each morning I would soak a makeup round in the cleansing water and gently apply over the face, eyes, lips and down the neck leave to dry before applying my moisturiser and lip balm and instantly my skin feels fresh and clean. I apply a small amount about 1/2 hour before applying my makeup and I have noticed my makeup application has improved slightly as it has more smooth, clean bare canvas for products to be applied to. But the thing I love the most with this is at night time when removing my makeup . . . I soak a couple of makeup rounds in the cleansing water, wipe one round over eyes and the other over the rest of the face. I wear Estee Lauder DW foundation and alot of waterproof products and I find using the cleansing water first before using my clarisonic and my expensive Michael Todd cleanser helps remove about 70% of the built on products so leaves less work for the other items which is awesome because then I save $$. This is an amazing product and Garnier deserves a pat on the back for this. for the amount you get and for the results you get the RRP $12.99 is an absoulte steal.

This is the best cleanser I have tried as I am often exhausted at night especially and can be pretty casual with removal of my makeup. However - this bottle of magic removes my primer, foundation and eye makeup with speed and efficiency. No frantic rubbing or rinsing, no smell or oily residue, just a few drops on a cotton pad does the job with such speed I was blown away with the results. My face has never felt cleaner and I think is responding better to the serum and cream which then gets applied. Will be buying this again - definitely.

I love this stuff! Firstly it's such a great, affordable price, I would reccommend anyone to try it! My skin is very sensitive, dry and acne prone but it does like this product! It leaves my skin feeling so soft. I used to use just makeup wipes but I'm really amazed after using this, how much I actually left behind, it removes makeup easily without a fuss. You also don't need to use much which is great, although I do go through more than one cotton pad at a time. It really does the job well, leaving the face cool and calm afterwards (no irritation or burning feeling at all) you don't have to attack your face when removing your makeup with this product. Definitely something I'll be repurchasing! You'll be suprised at how much makeup you really miss when you're removing :)

I honestly went into this thinking it couldn't possibly do all the things they said it would. I truly apologise! Garner Micellar Cleansing Water is Fabulous. The first time I used it was at the end of the day, I had had a shower, but we all know that plain old water doesn't get the foundation and eye makeup off entirely. So I got a cotton pad and thought I'd give it a go. It was amazing! It felt fabulous on my skin, cooling, refreshing and the 'panda eyes' were no match for this product. My skin felt not only clean and fresh but beautifully soft. I now have used Micellar Cleansing Water morning and night for the last week and I don't think I want to stop now, I have noticed a big difference in the softness of my skin and I don't want to go back to what it was. This is a very gentle product, not at all harsh or astringent. It doesn't sting your eyes when you attack your eye makeup nor does it sting your blemishes ( of which I now have less of) . I didn't need to use a lot, as one gentle wipe is all you need, but as I am now a complete convert, the larger bottle is definitely a draw card as is the price. So, as you can tell, I'm pretty impressed by this product and I will be recommending it to anyone who will listen and I will absolutely be buying another bottle when this one is done. Thank you so much Beauty Review for giving me this opportunity and introducing me to Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
