Garnier Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash Review

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.

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.

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 .

So I have been wanting to use the Garnier Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash ever since I heard about it so I was excited to try it. At first glance, the packaging of the product is great, it's visually pleasing and I'm grateful that it has a pump which makes it easy to use. In terms of the consistency of the product, it was refreshing as in it just glided on smoothly and left my face feeling super fresh afterwards. The bonus of this product for me was the size, at 200ml a bottle you get a very generous amount of product and they kindly fill it right to the top. I have one gripe about this product and it was in terms of the makeup removing side of it. It was when I removed my eye makeup with it, it left a slight sting but the product was fine on the rest of my face. On the whole, I'm quite impressed and I will continue to use it until its gone and then I will consider repurchasing it.

I have never used the Micellar make up removing water, so i was excited to sign up to review Micellar Gel Wash. Thank you BR for letting me try this. Well after a few hassles when it arrived, i was very much ready to try it straight away, as i had just come from work and follow my routine of getting fresh which includes washing my face with my personal basil gel face wash. I would like to add here that i am a huge fan of Gel based face washes and masks also. The packagung of this product is similar to micellar water, and a pump attached invites me to use products even more, as they are so much easy to use as much you want. I wet my face and used about two pumps of Micellar Gel Wash, wiped my face with towel after washing and i felt so good and clean. Its not that i never felt good with my regular face wash. But the quality speaks for itself and the face looked clean without any sign of irritation on my face. I also noticed that there was not much soapy feel to it and lather was less, which tells me it is great Quality wise and genuinely gel based. There was no dryness even after 5 minutes of washing my face with it. I have been using Micellar gel wash for 4 days now twice daily and i have not had any redness, rashes or pimples( that i fear most) at all. Honestly, i was scared to trial this product as i have been using my gel wash for 6 years now and have never tried any other face wash between this time, but this Micellar Gel Wash has been as good. I am fully impressed with this product. It definitely did what it says, and i will use it again and again. Micellar gel wash, you have won my trust and i will recommend you to anyone who loves their skin as much as i do. Go for it guys! So much worth that price, and will last 2 months for me for sure. Great Value for money, i might buy it after this pump finishes!

I had been absolutely desperate to try this - didn't get on the trial, got it in the vault but it was left out in error, and it wasn't available anywhere I looked.....

--- so imagine my delight when I finally found it, for $10 (The Warehouse - usual price) and it was every bit as good as I hoped.

Why no 5 star rating then? I prefer the Micellar Foaming Wash from the same range, which I got in Hawaii and is still not out here - it's thinner, and i actually like the slight foam to it.

SO saying, this is good. VERY good.

As is typical for their micellar range, it comes in a clear bottle with a pink cap - pink is my fave colour and so that's always a good start! The pump cap dispenses a good amount of product for one wash, and the gel itself is thick-ish, completely clear, and non-scented.

I use this AFTER oil cleansing at night (cleanse once for your makeup and once for your skin, ladies!) and my skin is currently very well balanced, not prone to breakouts and feels clean and fresh.

The bottle is a generous 200ml, which will last weeks, if not months, for the $10. I'll buy another and have two open at once - one in shower and one on the sink - for when my other runs out. I'm sold.

Cheap, effective, gentle and works for my skin; what's not to love.

I dont use this on a daily basis as I use a foaming cleanser but when I want a quick but thorough face cleanse this is my preferred option. I find it cleans gently but effectively and actually leaves my skin feeling very soft.

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.
