Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water gently cleanses while removing make-up from the face, eyes and lips. It's perfume free, dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, suitable for all skin types, and does not need to be rinsed off.

I bought a bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water when I ran out of my (leaky) bottle of L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-in-1 micellar water, as I'd wanted to try the Garnier one ever since it was first released.

Yes, it is easy to use and not having to rinse it off meant it was perfect to use when traveling or when we have a power failure (we're on tank water not municipal supply, which means when we have no power, there's nothing to activate the water pump so we end up with no water, too).

It removed my make-up as promised, but it didn't leave my skin feeling really clean. I still felt like I needed to cleanse afterwards, but that was probably just all in my mind, as doing a test with a make-up remove wipe afterwards did reveal that my skin was clean and that were wasn't any make-up left on my skin.

I do find that the large 400ml bottle lasts me a lot longer than six months, as I don't use it every night, and as this product does have a six month expiry date after opening, I end up using the rest of the bottle (once it's past its expiry date) to clean my make-up brushes. It makes cleaning brushes a breeze, and foundation, concealer and lipstick, which are usually a bit of a nightmare to wash out of brush bristles, simply just melts away into the micellar water and a quick rinse in clean water afterwards leaves them clean, soft and smelling nice, too.

Will I be purchasing another bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water? I don't know. Garnier have now brought out their Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash, which is basically a foaming cleanser version of micellar water. I have bought a bottle of this and want to see if I prefer it to the Micellar Cleansing Water before I decide which one I prefer.

I use this to take my makeup off at night! I love this product because it is really gentle on my skin and doesnt hurt my eyes. Only issue is it takes a lot of product to take off eye makeup. I use waterproof eyeliner and it REALLY sticks.

This product very easily removes all my makeup and i really like it for making sure i have all the foundation out of my hairline as that is where i seem to have trouble removing makeup from. This product lasts a long time aswell which is good. I used to use this for my eye makeup aswell but i now have a specific eye makeup remover instead. I find it makes my skin feel a big gross afterwards for some reason so i still wash my face but other than that i really like it.

I've been using this micellar water for at least two years now and I have found it to be effective at removing my makeup for a low price. It requires a bit more effort to take of mascara with it however, and I try not to get it in my eyes because it does sting sometimes. Overall though, I really like how it does not take long for me to remove my makeup with this, even when I'm taking off stage makeup.

No matter what type of skin you have, I would recommend this product.

In my case I get quite dry skin to the point where it gets flakey. I tend to wear a lot of mascara and eyeliner and it’s quite difficult at the end of the day to remove, especially because I don’t want to rub (say hello to early signs of age). This product does what it says! Simply apply a small amount to a cotton bud or face cloth and gently wipe your skin in circles to remove makeup, dead skin, and to purify.

Check the bottle for your specific skin type and be amazed with the results.

This micellar water is pretty good! It does what it should and doesn’t leave my face oily at all. Removes all makeup and leaves my skin feeling smooth.

I bought this product from Countdown, on sale. I do love my bargains! I enjoyed using this product, it smells fresh and feels nice on the skin. Removing pesky waterproof mascara can be hard work, but Garnier micellar cleansing water wiped away my mascara, no sweat! Also removes budge proof lip paint really well!
