Simple Micellar Water Review

I purchased this particular micellar water as I have previously found simple products nice and had heard some average reviews on the garnier and loreal ones.

This is relatively unexpensive and comes in the classic "simple" packaging plastic, clear nothing fancy but that is ok.

The product itself has no real smell and feels wonderful and refreshing on the face and does not make you feel like you want to re wash your face after using it.

It does a good job of removing general face makeup but not eye makeup, so I tend to use an oil based eye makeup remover then follow with this, which I guess defeats the purpose of the micellar water.

I mostly use this in the mornings as a quick cleanse if I am feeling lazy or have run out of time to do a proper face wash, for this purpose it works well as I feel it cleanses and refreshes my skin without leaving any residue.

I will repurchase this because of how easy it makes mornings, but not as a makeup remover, I found it really struggled even with non waterproof mascara

Love this produc, skin feels amazing after using it, doesn't remove eye makeup overly well but I tend to precleanse and then use this product!

This was the first Micellar water I have ever tried - I was a bit skeptical about how 'water' could help remove my make-up, but I'd read fantastic things about it and decided to try it.

I am really pleased with how this product works! I have really sensitive skin (and I use virtually the full range of Simple products in my cleansing routine) and this was just as gentle as everything else. It had no noticeable scent which is fantastic - I personally dislike scented beauty products, right down to lip balms.

The only let-down I feel with this product is that it still struggles to remove my mascara. I'm not sure if that's just because my daily mascara is extremely long-wearing or if the product just can't cope with it. (I use Maybelline Lash Sensation for reference.)

Overall this has just slipped perfectly into my cleansing routine at night, it works well with the toner and moisturiser. So pleased I decided to give this a go!

As I have sensitive skin I've always loved the brand 'Simple'. From their moisturizers, cleansers, and to their make up wipes all of their products are effective. I had heard a lot about Micellar Water products becoming a popular way to remove makeup, so I decided to try this. From the first time I used it, I loved it!! With a full face of makeup on all I need to do is put some on a cotton pad and gently wipe it over my face. It instantly removes most of the makeup, it only take me two cotton pads to remove a full face off makeup with this. That means that the product lasts for a long time. The product is easy to use because of the packaging so you don't waste it. It takes off all makeup; foundation, lipstick, mascara, you name it. It also doesn't irritate sensitive skin or dry out my skin, I love it! It's definitely my holy grail skin care product.

This is the second micellar water I have tried, the other being Garnier. I have used Simple products before and liked them, so thought I would try this one. It has no smell and very light to apply, just use a small amount on a cotton pad and it removes every trace of make-up. My skin can be sensitive at times, so I found this to be very gentle on my skin. I like that it has multi vitamins and natural ingredients. Very cost-effective as it is often on special at the supermarket.

I was excited to test this product out as it has great reviews online and I wanted to see how it compared to Garnier's Micellar Water.

I adore Garnier's Micellar Water so I gathered I would also fall in love with this product - boy was I wrong.

I absolutely hate this product. I find it irritates my skin and gives my skin a painful burning sensation.

The formula does not remove my makeup - I find a baby wipe to be more effective then using this water which is bad as we all know how poorly ineffective wipes are at removing makeup.

After using this product my skin is very tight and dry. Due to being an eczema suffer this product not only burns my skin but leaves my skin raw and slightly swollen.

I also do not like the size of the product, it is only 200mls which is much smaller then some of the other brands. Given you need to use a lot of this product it does not last long at all.

This product is a God-send! I use it to remove all my make up, including waterproof and thick, waxy products, and it removes so easily and yet it's so gentle on my skin. I also did a side-by-side comparison with another supermarket brand's micellar water and Simple came out trumps. I also use this when I can't be bothered with a proper cleans or is I'm just needing a little refresher on a hot day.

It took me a long time to even consider trying this stuff, thinking hey it's only water. Oh how wrong I was. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, as a cleanser, it leaves my face feeling like it's been washed and doesn't leave any residue. There's no smell.

For makeup removal all you need to do is wipe (or hold for a few seconds for eyes) with a soaked cotton pad and voila, makeup be gone. It doesn't leave an icky heavy feeling on eyes like some makeup removers.

I'll be repurchasing this when it runs out, although a little goes a long way so that won't be for a while.

After trying (and not liking) a much more expensive micellar water, I was prepared to be unimpressed by this product too. The packaging is a simple clear bottle - the formula looks like water and you just pour a bit onto a cotton pad to use it. I liked that this product didn't have a noticeable scent, and felt quite natural. I found that this could easily remove my daily make up (including eyeliner) with 2 cotton pads, which is about what I'd use with a makeup remover anyway. I did accidentally get some in my eyes once and it didn't sting or irritate them like some other cleansers would. I also didn't notice any stickiness or residue like I did with the other micellar water I tried. Like some other reviews have pointed out, while this is a great product for those with sensitive skin, or those who don't wear a tonne of makeup, I do feel like cleansers do a more thorough job. I think this product is a great stand in for a make up remover, and when needed you could use a cleanser afterwards to finish the job. It certainly is very gentle and doesn't break the bank, so I'll be recommending it to some friends I know with sensitive skin, and I might repurchase it myself too.

This the second micellar cleanser that I have used and I really like it. In a 200ml clear bottle, this cleanser is great at removing the days grime. I use it as a second cleanse when I wear makeup. ..but as the only cleanser when I don't. I think that if I used it as a makeup remover, I would go through the bottle very quickly. No fragrance and no sticky residue. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to try a micellar cleanser, especially if they have sensitive skin.
