I purchased this product as it was on special at the supermarket for $10, and had to try it after reading lots of reviews about Micellar water. Its a great product! I was a little bit worried that it wouldn't clean my face well enough but it works exactly how it should, I was so glad I bought it. It doesn't have a scent to it like the other Essano products which is good because it really feels like my face is extra clean and leaves it so refreshed. It takes off all my makeup including eye makeup too. It is very gentle and doesn't irritate my skin and eye area. I sometimes use it after I have exfoliated for an extra fresh feel. The big bottle is great value for money and I use it almost every day, I even use a little bit to clean my basin when it gets dirty from my makeup, makes it alot easier than getting cleaning products out and scrubbing the basin!

I purchased this because I'd always been interested in the product and it was on special in the supermarket for $6.50. I was a bit worried it being just a water product that it wouldn't really clean my face but it takes off all my makeup, and cleans so well- even my waterproof eye makeup!
I feel like my skin hasn't been in a condition this good for such a long time now! ( I have finally found my HG)
It doesn't really have a scent like a lot of other products from the brand do.
Tips: Wash your face with normal cleanser then use this to get any makeup or dirt on your skin.
After using the Garnier Micellar Water, I was curious to see how this compared. This is the same size and the same price, so I wanted to see if the addition of rosehip oil made any difference. The micellar water comes in a simple clear bottle with a black lid, with pretty gold writing. I noticed that this had more of a soapy look to it, but it definitely made this more effective. I found this removed my make-up with ease and left my skin feeling clean. I found it actually removed my tough eye make-up quicker than other micellar waters have. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find this to sting my eye area, but everyone is different. I found this to be gentle, and I liked the addition of rosehip as I felt I was doing something good for my skin by using this. This didn't irritate my skin at all, and I've had clearer skin since switching to this micellar water. Overall, I think this is a great micellar water and it perfectly fulfils its purpose.
First of all I absolutely LOVE the packaging! And the size (400ml) is an absolute bargain. I bought this on special from either the warehouse or countdown (easy to find in NZ) - I believe there's a smaller version available too if you wanted some for travel. The big size meant this lasted me a good few months.
I found this had an ever so subtle scent, fresh and youthful, nothing overpowering at all. I found it was easy to use, a few drops onto a round cotton pad which soaked it enough to remove my makeup. Was also a good cleanser to use in the morning if I was in a rush and didnt have time to use something fancy - it did the job.
The micellar water is a little bit "soapy" which I had no issues with, I found this was more of a hydrating factor for me. It felt fresh on my skin as well as gentle and soothing. It never felt harsh at all and I never experienced the sting some micellar waters or wipes cause.
Overall I loved this and will definitely repurchase!
This product comes in a generously sized bottle for a very modest price. Its smell is mild but pleasant. It's easy to dispense onto a cotton pad, and sooo easy to use. Simply put onto a cotton pad, wipe face with it. repeat. voila Removes my makeup, mascara, the lot. And unlike 95% of other cleansers it doesn't hurt my sensitive skin.. Basically at the moment this is all i can use so it definitely fulfills my needs as an all rounder. And for convienience A+++ Thanks Essano
Tips: Use a cotton pad rather than a cotton ball to ensure minimal product wastage
Since about a year ago, micellar water is something that I always have on hand. It's handy stuff, I use it every day.
I use micellar water to give my face a light rinse in the mornings, and with cotton tips to remove makeup mistakes. Occasionally I use it to remove face paint when my kid comes home from kindy as spider man, I trust that it's gentle enough for young skin.
The Essano micellar water has no scent, the consistency is that of tap water, and this one is a little bit soapy for some reason. I works well for the pupose that I use it.
Good product, very reasonably priced and seems to last for a long time, would definitely repurchase.
This is the first time I have used a micellar water. It is wonderful and gentle at removing makeup. It removes all makeup with the exception of long lasting lipstick (I use coconut oil for this). Leaves skin feeling really great afterwards like you don't need to moisturize. This has lasted a long time and I will definitely purchase again as it is cost effective, easily available and natural!
Tips: This is great to keep in the gym bag to quickly remove makeup before a workout without having to worry about moisterising.
I picked this product up after using the same eye makeup remover for 10+ years and was really impressed. It is gentle, removes mascara well and doesn't dry my skin out. Good value.
I'm really into Essano products at the moment and was excited to try this product. I have used one other Micellar water some years ago and was interested to see how it would compare.
I managed to score this off Trademe for $2 and have been using for the past 2 weeks. I use it as a morning cleanser. My morning routine is so fast now which I appreciate as I am not a morning person. A couple of drops on a cotton ball, wipe face and neck and you are done. (leave a minute for your face to dry down before you continue your beauty routine.)
It does seem to foam a little which is unusal. Packaging is plain, but the small 100ml bottle looks cute almost like a mini. Doesn't really have a scent.
I like the ease of this product and it's multi purpose for removing make up and cleansing skin. I will be repurchasing.
Tips: It does sting if you get a bit in your eye, best to not oversoak the cotton ball.
So I finally decided to give Micellar water a try after hearing a lot about it. I decided to try the one made by my favourite New Zealnd brand, Essano.
I love Essano's skincare products because they feel very rich on my dry skin, and they do not irritate my skin either. I think it is the magic ingredient of rosehip oil that does the trick.
Although this is the only Micellar water I have tried, it seems to work very well. I use a cotton pad to apply the water to my face to remove my makeup. It feels like slightly sticky water going on, but there is no strong scent and it does not irritate my eyes. My makeup comes off really well. I find it works better than makeup remover, and it is gentler and less astringent. Some makeup removers have made my eyes sting in the past.
I have used it everyday since I first bought it two weeks ago. There is still a long way to go in the bottle before it is all used up too!
Tips: I have found that I did not end up replacing my cleanser with this. I still use a moisturizing cleanser after removing my makeup with Micellar water as I like the clean, soft feeling it gives better than the slightly sticky feeling of the water. But I definitely recommend this as a makeup remover for sensitive skin.
