Garnier Micellar Water In Oil Review

I really love using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil. It is an upgrade from the Micellar water from Garnier (which is already fantastic), with a bi-phase (oil and water) system to remove stubborn waterproof makeup.

I found this product to be really effective in removing waterproof mascara and lip stains. It hasn't caused any breakouts and I really enjoyed using it as a part of my daily routine.

The only possible downside is that this has a noticeable fragrance, which may cause reactions in people with allergies or sensitive skin.

I love how affordable this product is - it is often on special at the local pharmacy or grocery store.

I became a fan of the original Micellar water and have been using it for over the past year, maybe more. It wasn't until the beginning of this year I made the switch, it wasn't intentional but my cousin who also has a passion for makeup raved about the Micellar in oil.

It comes in the same shaped bottle but is a little more expensive.

When Im ready to remove my makeup I shake up the bottle, watching the oil & water try to merge together is fun, I get happy every time I need to shake the bottle. I soak 2 makeup pads and starting with my eye makeup I let it sit before wiping my makeup away. The oil helps dislodge any makeup that tries to stay on my face, I find the oil/micellar combo helps remove makeup in half the time it takes for the regular micellar to do its job. After Ive removed all my makeup, my skin looks and feels hydrated and fresh.

I will continue to purchase this, it is more than the regular Micellar water but dissolves makeup twice as fast and I use less.

I have used a few makeup removers over the years and they have to be good at removing waterproof mascara. Couldn't find my other go to one so had to try something different instead. After browsing the shelves thought I would give this one a go. Must admit I was a bit sceptical as to whether it would be as good as my other one, and whether it would live up to the claims. I'm happy to say that yes it did live up to the claims and I love it. It's so nourishing, non greasy and you don't need to use much at all. It's now my go to and I highly recommend it. The size of the bottle is large so lasts for ages.

This does the job with removing make-up and doesn't irritate. It does leave a slightly oil feel to the skin and for this reason I prefer the regular micellar water.

I love using Garnier Products, but didn't find that I would use this one again. It did what it said it would and took off my makeup product on my face and eyes however, it left a very oily, residue on my face and hands. It didn't make my face feel 'clean' or 'soothed'. I wouldn't buy this product again.

I find the only.makes the water work just that much harder at removing makeup. I really like the added oil for more moisture too. Excellent and lasts FORVER. A great product I'll use again.

Thoroughly removes all make up. Gentle on the skin. And also really hydrating. My skin is very dry, and sensitive, and this really soothes.

Such a great micellar water to remove eye makeup, especially mascara or high pigmentation shadows, I even loved using it to remove matte lipsticks. This didn’t make me feel dry after using it either. I’m really happy with this micellar water and I will continue to repurchase!

I bought this Micellar as my normal Neutrogena Oil Cleanser was out of stock at Countdown and I’m so glad I did. This is definitely going to replace it as it is effective at removing nearly all my makeup and is double the size. Every other time I have used a Micellar it’s never got my skin as clean as I would like it.

The formula is bi-phase so oil over water, just give it a shake before use. There is a smell of Argan oil which I actually don’t like but it won’t stop me from buying this again but does mean it’s a 4/5 for me especially if you are sensitive to that scent.

I use a few swipes on a cotton pad firstly on my face then a bit more vigorously on my eyes when I’ve worn shadow and mascara. It even removes Maybelline superstay matte lipstick which is a miracle as that’s hard to budge. I always have a wet flannel handy after I use this as although it says on the bottle no greasy feeling I can still feel it on my skin. On the odd day I have a bit of dark makeup that it hasn’t removed I just use another corner of my pad and use some additional eye makeup remover.
