Garnier Micellar Water In Oil Review

During countdowns 50 % off sale I put this in my trolley of groceries. It’s my sneaky way of getting my beauty products in . I wear make up daily to work. I need something that will quickly remove my full faced make up .

Bottle is clear has the garnier labelling on it . I can easily read the fine print on it . Consistency is a combination of water and oil . Scent is sweet musky fresh . Quite strong .

Application I like to put this on a wipe and it easily cuts through my make up . No need for a second cleanse absolutely perfect .

Overall this bottle is large . I use it daily and it takes my make up off nicely . It’s lasted me over three months . I can see it lasting into the new year . I’m happy with the results . I would happily buy it again . Worth the money .

I recently went to a make-up artist who used the 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil' to cleanse my face before applying make-up. I've only used the original Garnier Micellar Water before and the 'oil' bit made me a tad worried that my skin would become oily and my expensive make-up application would be a shiny waste of money. I couldn't have been more wrong! My skin was soft and smooth but absolutely no shine. I have since purchased this myself (onto my second bottle) and I just love it. I find that this removes make-up much easier than the original. It must be something to do with the added oil. My skin can be quite sensitive to some products but this is very gentle. This product (that I tried only by chance) has become a time-saver for me and a staple among my beauty products. The best part is, you can find it at most supermarkets and it's so affordable!

I wondered how micellar water could get any better until I first bought this when on special, I wear waterproof eye makup so anything that might help save my pillowcases was surely worth a shot. This micellar has a pleasant smell, shake the bottle to mix in the oil, apply to cotton pads and swipe swipe swipe. Strips every last trace of mascara and liquid eye liner better than any other makeup cleanser I have tried and have repurchased numerous times. Would recommend to anyone who wears full face makeup, particularly eye makeup. Does leave a slight oily feel to the skin which can be unpleasant - I use before jumping in the shower and rinse it off. My main concern would be it might exacerbate my oily skin but it has had no effect on this. I have used this daily for 6 months

I usually use the pink lid Garnier micellar water but when that ran out I thought I would try this one, as it says on the label "optimal tolerance" - I have very sensitive skin and eczema. However I should've read the ingredients carefully - this cleanser contains both fragrance and alcohols. I wish it had said so on the front label! The fragrance is pleasant but REALLY strong. It's also a hassle to mix in the oil with the water as it separates back almost at once, so you get a cotton pad full of mostly oil. After a few days of using this my skin was drier and my eczema started to make my face itchy, so I stopped using it. Though to be fair it did remove makeup quite well. Would not recommend for anyone with even remotely sensitive skin.

Oh dear god..this is the only thing that can remove Estee Lauder double wear stay in place without damaging my skin in the process. I had tried numerous micellar waters before (Neutrogena, Garnier sensitive, Garnier oily skin, Nivea, Simple...etc) but only waterproof eye makeup removers are able to remove that mask of a foundation from my face. And they always ends up irritating my skin.

I'm so glad that I found this product and I haven't even looked at other makeup removing products after I bought this. It is an all in one product that can remove stubborn and waterproof eye, lip and other makeup without irritating my skin.

I recently picked this up from The Warehouse as they didn't have my normal micellar water which is the blue active bottle.

I like how it comes in such a big bottle as it will last for ages. To use you simply shake it up to mix the oil and water. It looks cool mixing up. I pour some over a large makeup remover pad and swipe it all over my face. This removes my mascara and BB cream with ease.

I have dry skin and this leaves it feeling nourished but not greasy at all. I get no irritation or stinging. It does have a subtle fragrance but nothing offensive.

I am unsure if I will keep buying this or go back to my usual blue one. Perhaps use this on my stubborn eyeliner which is hard to remove. All in all a lovely makeup remover.

I got a large bottle of this on special from Countdown. Generally I use the standard Garnier micellar water (in the pink bottle) but I thought I'd give this a go.

The smell is light and refreshing. I can't quite figure out what the smell reminds me of, but I like it!

I give it a good shimmy shake before pouring some on a cotton pad. A soaked pad is plenty to remove makeup from my entire face.

Unlike the standard Garnier micellar, I am glad that I can use this oil version on my lips without them drying out. I can also remove stubborn liquid eyeliner, and I use it in the morning if there is any residual black mascara/eyeshadow/liner left around my eyes.

If you have oily skin the definitely stay away from this. It doesn't leave you feeling oily - in fact I always feel nice and fresh after cleaning my face with it - but I can imagine it aggravating already oily skin.

I absolutely love this clenser for taking of any waterproof makeup I have on! It takes it off so easily because of the oil in it, plus it still is very gentle on the face, not drying and it doesn’t leave an oily residue on the face afterwards like other oil infused cleansers. I also find it helps to take off any residual eyelash glue which is amazing cause that stuff is a B$&@# to get off!

I wasnt really a fan of the original Garnier Micellar Water to be honest but I thought I would try this one out since they are quite cheap. I run out of my Za cleansing oil and went to get some more only to be told that Za was being discontinued. Guttered. I was recommended Garnier Micellar oil by the lady at the counter and also another customer who highly recommended it saying it removes waterproof make up. It's really good at removing all makeup. Give it a good shake to mix the oil in and use cotton pads to wipe, large ones if you can find them and for mascara you will need to hold the cotton pad on the eyes for a few seconds before wiping, just to make sure it soaks the lashes for a nicer wipe, especially if your like me and pack on the mascara, otherwise the pads pull on your lashes if they are not wet enough and doesn't remove it straight away if they ain't wet. Only thing I dont like about using Micellar oil is that it takes awhile to remove all makeup, in saying that its not the Micellar oil it's the small cotton pads. Wish Garnier would sell large face pads to use with Micellar or even better reusable ones.
