Gentle

I like tbis cleansing water although i think tjere is better. I got it on special and i like essano so thought i would try it.

Its great to use as a toner or to remove make up. I had to rub a little to get al my make up of. The smell is not as intemse as other essano produck amd it made my skin feel soft amd clean.

Great product - with a stingy downside!

Ugh I wanted to like this product SO badly! I have enjoyed the Essano range so far, and I LOVE micellar water, but this product just did not want to work for me. Although it was great at removing makeup (simply apply to a cotton pad and wipe), it left my eyes tight, stinging, red and puffy! NOT cute at all. Tried to make this work several times but have now given up and are back to my fave Lush Ultrabland Cleanser again.

However, this product is good for removing makeup like foundation and blusher, etc. Just keep away from the eyes!

Didn't live up to the hype

After using the garnier micellar water I was rather impressed, this one was on special and I assumed all micellar waters would be similar.. Clearly this is not the case. This does not remove my double wear foundation without a LOT of scrubbing and is not gentle on my sensitive skin. Wouldn't recommend it if you wear a long lasting foundation.

Did someone say soapy?

I'm known by my friends to love micellar water - I'm literally obsessed. So, of course when I saw this product on sale in Countdown months ago, I had to purchase it (even though I already had like 2 at home, lol)! Anyway, I love how this has both aloe and rosehip oil in the formula because of their beneficial properties for the skin.

However the hugest negative about this product is the fact that it goes sudsy like crazy. It's fine when you're just gently wiping across your face, but as soon as you start applying a bit of pressure in rubbing anywhere - BAM! Here come the suds! If it weren't for the soapiness and the stinging when it comes even close to your eyes, I might even choose this above Garnier's. Sadly, this is not case.

Overall, I do like this product, and it does a great job in cleansing. But the negatives are quite inconvenient at the best of times, and deeply aggravating at the worst. I will not be re-purchasing anytime soon unless Essano ends up fixing the formula so it's not so sudsy.

Not my favourite

This product did what it says (brilliant at removing make up- very easy) however it made my skin very bumpy and slightly irritated. My skin did not feel nice afterwards at all. I have not used since. The packaging was clean and simple.

Tips: Use with cotton pads, will only require one.

Not a Fan

I have been using this product as a back up if I run out of my usual cleanser, or to wash my make up brushes. When I did use this product regularly, I felt that it didn't clear away my foundation nor mascara very well. It also leaves the skin feeling slightly sticky. I tend to leave my brushes soaking it in it over night which helps to get them clean.

Reacted with my skin

I loved this when I first used it. It removed all my make up easily, it was a bit soapy but only if I rubbed to hard. It also has a really nice smell. Unfortunately that's where the good points end for me. It stung my eyes and after using for a few days my face was covered in bumps, not like acne more like an allergic reaction, they disappeared within a few days of stopping using the product. I will continue using it to clean brushes tho as it works really well for that

Oh good idea! I was about to give my half full bottle to my sister but I might keep it to clean my brushes!

Not for sensitive skin

This was my first micellar water I'd ever bought and I was excited about it after seeing the micellar hype on BR. As a bonus, it was by an NZ brand and included yummy skin-loving ingredients like rosehip oil.

In terms of cleansing, this product does the job. The bottle says it does something like 200 washes. I'm dubious about this as I always needed several cotton pads with product to get all my makeup off - and I was only wearing BB cream.

Further, the formula was not right for my sensitive combination skin. As I continued to use it my skin became sensitised and finally broke out in dry patches.

I was going to give my sister the half empty bottle but after reading other reviews I'll keep it for washing my makeup brushes.

Sort of soapy??

This is the third different brand of micellar water that I have used. I first fell in love with the garnier one over a year ago and since then I've been wanting to try lots of other brands out to see who does it best.

This is a very affordable water. I paid under $10 for this big 400ml bottle. This size lasts me around 6 months of daily use, I only really use it to remove eye makeup though, not a full face of makeup. I imagine you would go through the product much quicker if you did that.

This comes in a bottle pretty much the exact same as the garnier version. Just the labelling and lid colour is different. I never feel safe with this kind of lid though, I always feel like it might pop open although it does click shut tightly. I would just prefer a screw lid.

This product looks exactly like water. When you shake it up though, it will bubble up. I feel like this has the tiniest hint of a rose scent? Barely anything though.

I use this by putting a small amount onto a cotton pad and wiping it over my eyes. It does work well at removing makeup but it also stings my eyes. I found with the garnier and loreal ones, my eyes would sting if I used too much product but even when I'm careful with this, I still get that sting. I feel like this must have more of a percentage of cleanser in it? I find that when you have it on the cotton pad and sort of rub it between your fingers, you kind of get a slippery soap feeling. It definitely doesn't feel like water anyway.

I will keep using this, mainly because I'm stubborn and hate throwing stuff away. I am thinking about using it to clean my brushes though to use it up a bit quicker. I wouldn't buy this one again, I'd definitely recommend the Garnier over this one.

wanted to love this but couldn't!

I wanted to love this so much, I am trying to buy all cruelty free make-up so this was my answer rather than the garnier micellar.

however, it burnt my skin and caused my eyes to burn and red patches on my cheeks, I was not happy!

the scent is neutral and expected for this type of product

I also had to scrub at my eyes to remove mascara and gel eyeliner.

the bottle and packaging is lovely, I just wish this product lived up to expectations like their other products

Tips: do a test patch, I used a cotton pad with this but this product wasn't right for me!
