Clean and clear

Well I normally use a face wash for acne...but this stuff did a good job. My face is clean and soft. And best part is it doesnt blench my face clothes. So this face wash has got the thumbs up from me. But it didn't help with oil control. Oh well cant have it all. Soft on skin little to no fragence.

Tips: Dont push to hard on the pump top... you get a little bit too much

Gentle on skin

I have always liked the micellar makeup remover range from Garnier.

This products is a great makeup remover and face wash. I feel after use that my skin is cleansed but not too harsh that it totally dries up my skin.

It’s not able to fully remove waterproof mascara though, but I don’t think it claims to be a waterproof makeup remover.

I would definitely use this product again and repurchase when I run out.

Tips: One pump goes a long way.

Great at removing waterproof mascara!

I found this gel wash to be perfect for removing makeup - especially waterproof mascara. I always struggle to get my mascara off at the end of the day but after using this my lashes were soft and mascara-free! Very lightly scented and didn't dry out my skin

Tips: You only need to use a little bit at a time, rub it in your hands and it foams up a lot.

Garnier Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash

I love using the Garnier Skin Active Micellar water so I was pretty happy for a chance to try out the gel wash. It comes in a nice clear bottle with a handy pump. It worked well at removing my make up and left my skin feeling clean and fresh. My skin has become sensitive of late and it was good to see that this wash didn’t aggrivate it. Only thing I felt lacking was the quantity I had to use . It took a fair bit of wash to clean my face throughly. I'd definitely go for it again for specific make up removal use.

Great cleanser for sensitive skin

I was a bit sceptical as I have tried other micellar cleansers but they were not very effective. However, this cleanser removes most of my makeup and is very gentle on my skin. My skin does not feel dry or irritated, even after washing it twice. I would highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin.

Tips: I use a makeup wipe to remove my makeup and then wash twice with the micellar gel cleanser to get rid of any other residue.

One step wonder

Ill start by saying my usual routine is to use micellar water to get my eye makeup off and then using a face cloth and cleanser wash my face at night. This product does both these jobs with one product.

There is no major fragrance to the product so no off putting or strong smells.

It froths up easily with water and when using it to remove eye makeup there was no sting or tingle of any kind!

The packaging is simple and in keeping with the rest of the garnier micellar range.

The texture of the gel is nice and smooth but also not too runny like others I have tried, it makes a good blob that holds its shape on your fingers.

Instructions are clear and easy.

Good value for the price point.

The only downside for me is that i felt that my two step routine worked better at getting my mascara and eyeliner off than this one step so im not converted.... as an on the go, overnighter solution its definitely a good pick but for me as an every day makeup removing cleanser....ill be sticking to my current routine.

Tips: Use a clean fresh washcloth each day with your cleanser for gentle exfoliation at the same time :-)

Interesting results

Now to be fair to this product we only had a week to trial by the time it arrived so can only give the best review for 7ish days use. The product itself was interesting to say the least. Had it not been labeled i would have sworn black and blue it was a hair gel. It smelt like hair gel, it's texture was like hair gel, it looked like the thickness of hair gel. The only difference was when rubbing it between your fingers it had a slight foam that formed. Using it on the skin was like any other product really, it felt clean afterwards, but my preference now is more of a harsher scrub. You could easily tell it cleaned the skin well, as using a white facecloth you could see the residue/dirt more then what you would just rinsing and washing. Now the results we noticed on my daughters skin that the redness in the acne had declined to just acne bumps. Although it did not clear her skin up there was potential for the product to be able to do this to a certain extent over time. It also helped her get makeup off more easily as well. Overall I would use the product again but it didn't leave me with the I must buy this product feel by the end of the trial.

Garnier skin active micellar wash

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

The Garnier Micellar Gel Wash

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.

Pretty good!

I was really happy with the results from this wash. I’m one of those naughty girls that don’t wash my makeup off at night. So I used the wash in the morning on a smudged makeup’d face. It has no fragrance. Which is fine. Although why do products for sensitive skin always have no smell. Surely there are fragrances for sensitive skin?!

The wash lathered well and bubbled up nicely. It was easy to apply issuing my hands and washed away without leaving my skin dry.

The bottle specifically says it will remove lipstick and mascara. Well in my case - not so much. I wear non waterproof mascara and it still didn’t clean the smudgy stains under my eyes.

While not a 10 out of 10 for me, I would use it again. And I would recommend it as it’s a pretty good cleanser for its price point.
