Garnier Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash Review

Loved this product! Didnt irritate my skin at all, took all my makeup off. Only struggle was the waterproof mascara but it was easier to get off than I expected. My skin felt moisturised afterwards, rather than being left dry. This will become my new go-to face wash especially for if I am wearing makeup!

I loved this product. Worked really well in removing makeup which I struggle with when using other cleaners. Smells amazing too. I would recommend this for sure

I like using Micellar (even though i'm not convinced i'm saying it right). So when the opportunity came up to trial this new innovation (in a new innovation) I was in.

So it's a Gel Wash which for me means i'll use it in the shower as opposed to the Water version which you use outside of the shower.

The bottle is a clear bottle with clear liquid (reminds me abit of hand sanitiser actually) and hurrah..it has a PUMP! (so we're already kinda friends).

Claims to remove Make Up and soothe and Cleanse the skin.

It is very 'gel' like when you apply it but then when you rub it in it turns into a slight foam. Gotta say it removed every speck of my make up after one was and (here's the acid test) it did NOT leave my skin feeling tight. My skin was left feeling super supple and once i'd put my moisturiser on - va va va boom! Glowy, glowy, glowy skin.

Over all a great basic for me and I think i'll get my teenage daughter to start using it as it will be perfect for her.

Only thing I marked it slightly down down on, (which is a little bit unfair as it is actually a positive), is that it is fragrance free. I like my cleansers to have a fragrance but if you've got super sensitive skin then it will be perfect for you.

Removed my makeup well, and left my face feeling fresh and clean. Definitely up there with some of the more expensive products I have used, for a far more affordable price

After reading the trial reviews on this I knew I had to have it. It took a while to track down. But eventually it was mine.

It’s been in my possession for a few weeks now and I’m in love.

I waited a long time to use up my last cleanser and this was its replacement. The difference is incredible.

This gel is nice to use. It’s clear and lathers slightly. It’s smooth, easy to use and leaves your skin fresh and clean.

A non scented and very gentle formula. If it gets in your eyes it’s not a bother. I have sensitive skin and it’s been a breeze to use and isn’t drying like some.

I found it removes my makeup, sunscreen and all the other grime from the day.

A little lathers up effectively so you don’t use a lot. It’s really handy for use prior to getting in the shower.

The ultimate test for me was using this and then using a blackhead scraper to scrape my skin and see how clean my face was. My old cleanser left me with product buildup and grime every time, with the gel my face was so clean.

Love that I don’t have any waste or wipes so nothing to dispose etc. just gel that does the job.

I haven't owned this for very long (a weekish) but am already loving this! I've popped it in the shower and have been washing my face with it each night. I've tried it on it's own and also used it in conjunction with my face halo and both ways work amazingly. I love that it has a pump because it's easy to use, especially in the shower. The only thing I'm not too sure of is the scent, it isn't strong or overpowering, but does have a slight alcoholic scent (like a hand gel?). Overall I am really loving this and have enjoyed having a face wash again that foams up as I have been using just a cream for the last little while, there is something about a foam that makes me feel extra clean! It's also great to have an alternative to needing to use cotton pads with the other micellar water that they do.

Finally found this at Countdown, $12 for 200mls. Loved their Micellar water but couldn't be bothered sometimes using the makeup remover pads. One all over wash is easier & faster with same results. No irritation or dry tight feeling afterwards. Removed my makeup well including mascara. I always double cleanse, once to remove makeup and again to clean skin. Must have.

Have been using the garnier micellar water and been impressed so was very excited to try the gel.

It’s wonderful. I like not having to use a wipe for this so better for the planet.

Also the gel lathers up well which I feel cleans my skin better. I use another small pump to lather up my eye makeup and help remove the more stubborn makeup. It doesn’t hurt my eyes so this is very comfortable.

I does well cleaning and also leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh, ready for my night creams. Doesn’t feel like it drys my skin like some cleansers can.

Great size bottle and very affordable.

Whoohoo!! I always wanted to try this gel cleanser. Saw it on the shelves like it was calling out to me, and I just couldn’t hold back on the purchase. I’m so glad I finally got to try it out; a cleanser and make up remover all-in-one. It has a turn on and off lock, so you wont need to worry about accidental spillage when carrying it around with you on the go.

I thought I would have preferred this micellar gel cleanser to the micellar water. However, after trying out the gel, i realised i missed wiping that cool water over my face.

I don’t usually use eye make up.. but thought i would do a little test with this gel cleanser. This clear and thick transparent gel cleanser frothed up nicely, and cleaned off my usual basic make up of the same o’ BB cream and powered foundation. However, when it came to my eyes, although the colour shadow was gone, i still had residue of the glittery substance around my eyes.

When it comes to foamy cleansers, I have the tendency to try avoid as much as my eyes as possible, which was most probably why my eye make up didn’t come off as cleanly as I would have liked it. Although the gel wasn’t harsh on the eyes, I would probably stick to my micellar water, as I feel less anxious wiping that around my eyes than rubbing the gel over it.

This gel cleanser like the micellar water; easy and simple to use. But due to personal preference, if i wore any eye make up, I would probably stick to using the micellar water with facial wipes, and double cleanse with another cleanser. But if i felt a little lazy, and don’t have any eye make up on; I would go for a quick and easy clean with the gel cleanser in the shower.

I picked this beauty up in my weekly grocery shop . I love that I can sneak these things into my trolley lol . I’m dedicated to cleansing my skin morning and night .

This comes in a pump bottle easy to disperse product out of it . Has the garnier labelling . Consistency is like a clear gel . I lather this on my face after a full face of make up . This just powers through all of my make up .

After using this religiously for four weeks daily use I can say that my skin feels cleaned nicely . I had no skin irritations or sudden changes with my skin . I can see myself buying this again . I reccomend giving this a try .
