Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I found this didn't work very well when it comes to removing waterproof make up. My eyes water so I have to use waterproof mascara and I find this product didn't remove it very well. I would only reccomend it to be used for light make up then it would work fine, but for waterproof make up not so much.

I purchased this product off feelunique.com after reading numerous reviews and when Garnier stated it wouldn't be arriving in NZ anytime soon.

Consistency- This product has a water like consistency as the name suggests.

Application- I poured a small amount onto a cotton round and then applied it to my face.

Fragrance- I didn't notice much of a fragrance with this product, it is just very light and definitely not overpowering.

Coverage- A small amount of this product goes a long way.

Usage- Not a lot of this product is required to remove makeup, I use only about a teaspoon of this each night on a couple of cotton rounds.

Price- The price of this product is reasonable priced because it is such a big bottle. I paid around $10 for this bottle.

Packaging- The packaging of this product is nice, I like the pink colour scheme that has been used. I like that the product has a lid with a small opening so that I do not end up wasting a lot of product. I also like that the bottle is clear and that you can see how much product is remaining.

Results- I was impressed with how well this removed my face makeup, it was super gentle and removed my foundation etc on around 4 cotton rounds. This product removes regular mascara easily without any rubbing, however when I wear waterproof mascara (which is most of the time) I did need to use a seperate eye makeup remover before using this product as this product really did struggle with the waterproof formula.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase- While I did really like this cleansing water I will probably stick to my regular makeup removing wipes and the eye makeup remover I was previously using. I would be more likely to repurchase this product if it was more readily available and I didn't have to purchase it online.

A big container (perhaps too big?) with easy open flip top. I like that the liquid is clear with no added colouring. I find it to be a gentle product which does not sting my eyes. It removes most makeup easily but has a hard time removing waterproof mascara. I prefer the consistency to an oil based product and would use again.

A great product at a price everyone can afford,so hassle free and really does what it says however for me it was still a little harsh on my skin,but then I have really sensitive skin,I think it would suit most other skin types ,just not mine .It felt very refreshing on my face,and certainly took my make up off very easily .i would recommend to others as a worthwhile product .

I was looking forward to using this item after hearing so much about it (I was especially looking forward to using it after seeing Lauren Curtis use it). Needless to say I was a little disappointed? The first few days I used this I removed my makeup completely with it and when holding it on my eye (only for around 10 seconds to get off the mascara) it irritated my eye and made it itchy. The other days I have used it I've been using it after my makeup wipes and it gets off the excess makeup that the makeup wipes did it.

Around the time I stayed using this I've had huge breakouts, I don't know if this is related but hopefully not!

With my dry and sensitive skin I guess I wasn't 'wowed' by this. But being the first thing like this I have used there is nothing to compare it to.

I was so excited when I got the chance to trial this product, I had heard so much hype about it and thought that it could solve all my problems - the biggest one being that I didn't want to pay so much for the BioDerma bottles!

I was really surprised at the size of the bottle, and the fact that it said that there is enough in there for 200 applications. I thought that this meant that the entire bottle would last me for 200 days - one application per day but unfortunately this isn't the case.

As for the product itself its just a fine make up remover, to be completely honest its definitely no better, and also no worse than any others that I've tried in the past. When I went to use it, aka one application on a cotton pad, I swiped it across my eye and I was disappointed with the amount of product that it took off. I then learnt that you needed to hold it down for 5 seconds and then wipe to get all the product off, a but annoying but i could deal with it.

I can say that I think that I'll be sticking to my neutrogena eye makeup remover, but will still use this for light makeup - definitely nothing waterproof!

And I would say that you would probably need 4-5 applications to remove all the makeup off your face entirely.

I first tried this at my mum's house when I was visiting for my birthday, as she got a trial through BR. I tried it after my party and thought it was great so I bought some for myself. Now I'm not 100% sold on it. It was good for removing my foundation easily but I've now switched to double wear and it doesn't take that off so easily. It is good for removing my eye-makeup but I do find that I have to wipe over my eyes quite a bit to get all the eyeliner/mascara off so it's not quite the "no rub" it says. Overall I wouldn't rave about it, but it's not bad either. It will definitely last a long time as you don't need much to soak a cotton pad which is a bonus.

There was so much hype around this product before it came to New Zealand. When my Secret Santa from last year added it to her wishlist, I sourced a way to get it here for her...and snuck in a couple for me.

The packaging is relatively simple, it's clear to show that the product is clear as well, and has a cute pink lid. It doesn't wow me, but it's functional. The product itself feels slightly greasier than just regular water. I got a bit worried after reading reviews that it might break me out. And unfortunately using it just as a remover and not following it up with anything, that's what happened. It was like it left a slightly oily layer on my skin - and while I slept my skin went to town...and broke out.

BUT! I love it as a gentle make up remover - it removes the most stubborn eye make up, it takes recently applied foundation off quickly and it even gets my long last lipstick off without making my lips feel awful. Its just that I have to follow up with something to get that layer off my skin, the 10 0 6 toner I use does the trick with a quick sweep.

I don't know if I will repurchase after I use mine up, the main use for me is eye make up remover and I would like to try another one before making my mind up. Will follow up when I do that.

I bought this after a lot of reading and took the chance to try for myself when it came on special.

I tried it as a cleanser on its own, and as a make up remover before another cleanser (this was actually my preferred application). I found it removed most of my makeup quite very efficiently, but my skin (being blemish prone and somewhat oily) just didn't feel clean enough. My skin would break out after using just the Micellar water on its own so I added the additional cleanser on recommendation from a friend... It really helped but I am really just using it up as a makeup remover.

The bit I like about it as a makeup remover is that it doesn't leave any residue on my skin... but I also feel that it should be washed off afterwards. It doesn't over-dry my skin doing this either which is really good.

I didn't like it as a brush cleaner... my brushes weren't as soft as when I use my kids liquid soap.

Not something I am sure if I would buy again to be completely honest.

For $13 I thought this was worth a try.It comes in a clear plastic bottle with a pink lift top lid and label stuck to the bottle.The liquid is clear like water which you would expect.The top is not very secure so not good for taking in your make up bag and easy to tip out too much cleanser. I don,t wear heavy make up and found this cleanser was OK on my skin but not so good with mascara. I used it at night and on an odd occasion just to freshen up my skin and found I preferred it as a freshener rather than a full cleanser. I have dry skin and I preferred a creamier cleanser at night. I am happy to finish the bottle but not so sure I would purchase again. Price wise is is reasonable however because of the top it is easy to spill or use too much so I don't believe you would get 200 cleans out of one bottle.
