Garnier Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash Review

I absolutely love the Micellar Water from Garnier, so was super excited to try out the Gel Wash. It lived up to my expectations for sure!

First of all, the packaging is very aesthetically pleasing which makes me happy. So simple, but so cute with the pink pump which is great that you can turn it left and right to lock it, so that is doesn't dispense when you don't want it to.

I've found that you only really need one pump of the product to get a good cleanse, and it leaves my skin feeling so cool and refreshed. I tend to pop to the gym after work then come home and take my make up off, pop some comfy clothes on and relax - this gel is great in this part of my routine as it makes me skin feel fresh and I can relax after a hard days work.

I'd highly recommend this!!

I really love this! My skin feels so clean after using this. There isn't a trace of makeup or product left on my face and my skin feels lovely and hydrated. I have to be careful using products on my face because it can break out but this just makes my face feel lovely. I like that it doesn't really have a strong fragrance and its so easy to use. I even got my mum to try it out and she said she really like it. I also like this product because its so easy to apply being a gel. No mess or spills. I love that it's in a pump bottle as well. The easy use of this makes my night routine so much quicker. I will be purchasing this again for sure!!!

Recently my skin has been dry, raw and angry so I was a bit apprehensive about trying this product.

But it was great! No colours, no scent, not too highly foaming. It lived up to the claim about being able to remove face and eye makeup. No panda eyes the next day! I found that it removed enough makeup so I didn't feel like I needed to do a second cleanse (though you may want to if you wear heavy makeup).

This product kind of reminds me of the dermatologica special cleansing gel but for a way for affordable price point.

Great price, available in a lot of places. I would purchase this again.

I was very intrigued when I heard about the Micellar Gel Wash as I had only ever seen Micellar water to remove make up. This product not only removes make up but it also gently cleanses the skin. The Micellar Gel Wash comes in a very handy to use pump bottle, and the straw part of the pump goes right down to the very bottom of the bottle so it is mess free and there will be zero waste. I found the consistency of the gel to be great, it's not too thick and jelly like so it is easy to spread with your fingers, but also not too runny either so doesn't make any mess or dribble anywhere. I found that one pump is plenty to cleanse the entire face, so the 200ml bottle will last a decent amount of time. The Micellar Gel Wash doesn't have a fragrance so would be suitable for anyone with sensitivities to scents. I was very impressed with how well the Gel wash was able to remove my make up, especially my very long wearing matte liquid lipsticks which are usually difficult to wash off. It felt very gentle on my skin, I only used my finger tips in gentle circular motions, without the need for scrubbing. When washed off, my skin felt very smooth and clean, and there was no sticky or slimy residue left behind. I feel that the amount of product you get in the bottle is very generous considering the reasonable price. The packaging is simple and transparent with a pink pump, matching the original bottles of Garnier Micellar water. I also love that this product is available on supermarket shelves so you can buy it while grocery shopping, which is great for busy lifestyles. Overall, I am extremely happy with the Micellar Gel Wash and I will definitely look at repurchasing it when my current bottle runs out.

I have always loved micellar water and used it religiously pre child but have since gotten lazy and my skin has suffered. The garnier micellar gel wash gives me all the benefits and results micellar water does but with the ease of adding it into my normal shower routine. Although this gel wash is very watery it packs a punch and within a few days of using it I have seen a noticeable improvement in the overall texture and clarity of my skin. I will definitely keep using this and recommend to others.

I've been trialling this cleanser in several different methods over the last few days. With a konjac sponge, silicone scrubber, hands.. All work wonderfully. My favorite has been with the silicone scrubber to really get the make up off. I follow it up with my regular skincare once my makeup has been removed (I double cleanse every evening anyway so prefer having a makeup remover step rather than waste my very expensive cleanser by using it twice at night) and have enjoyed the process. Have had a few breakouts following starting the use of this product, but these were very small surface pimples, so I am not concerned about this.

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

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.

I was super excited to get this in the beauty vault, I love micellar water so couldn't wait to try a micellar gel!

It comes in a great size 200ml bottle and my favourite part is it has a pump, I love anything with a pump as it just makes life easier for me. It is a thick, clear gel and I cannot detect a fragrance.

I use this in the shower, one pump is enough and it cleans my face super well and doesn't sting or cause any irritation at all. My face is left feeling clean and soft and I get no tight, dry face.

I really love this micellar gel and would happily buy it again. I feel like the bottle will last for ages as a little bit definitely goes a long way. A very gentle but effective face wash.
