Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I love this product! It feels so natural on my skin as it is so light. It is super easy to use and I can tell it will last as the bottle is huuuuge!! It is surprising how much makeup actually comes off - thank god for this new product.Thanks BR you are amaze x

There is nothing like getting home after a long day to a new package from BR, and like usual I couldn't help but try it out straight away. Now let me be clear, I had never even heard of this product in any form before and was extremely curious to see what all the fuss was about. Its water right? So obviously it would clean my skin but could it possibly be as easy as everyone was saying? Well it was, and more. I wasn't wearing any make up the first time I used it, only a moisturiser and even though I was expecting a bit of grime after a day running around town I could not believe what was on my cotton ball when I had finished cleaning my face. It seemed that every bit of dirt I had come in contact with during the day was stuck to it. Yuck! But when I used a fresh cotton ball, there was hardly any residue at all. It truly picked up everything! And so began a week of experimenting. Foundation, lipstick, eye shadow and that bane of my make up removal efforts, waterproof mascara - all off in one go. I used my usual face scrub, then cleaned my face, it picked up a few amounts of dirt traces and my face felt so clean but without the squeaky dried out feeling. My face feels so clean and my skin is definitely brighter looking. I save so much time in the mornings cleaning my face with the added bonus of not splashing water everywhere when I try to rinse of some foamy cleanser lol! Also, you can decant some into a travel bottle and take it away for a night, you don't even need a mirror to clean your face of all make up before bed. Cannot praise it enough and will not be using anything else any more!

A lovely and very easy to use cleansing water. Simply generously apply to a cotton pad and wipe all over your face, eyes too. Makeup comes off very quickly and skin is left feeling clean, refreshed and hydrated. I highly recommend this product if you need a makeup remover or a cleanser.

I was a little apprehensive of using this. When it arrived, it looked like baby oil, which is just way too oily and heavy to use as a cleanser.

Rest assured it was anything but. The liquid is light and not at all oily. It cleans thoroughly without leaving any residue on the skin. It left a refreshing comfortable feeling on my skin. There was no tight dry feeling at all, neither was there a gluggy yucky film to leave on the pillow.

It takes more than the half teaspoon recommended to clean off all traces of makeup, and I found that I still needed to use a toner to finish the job. But my skin did feel great even before moisturiser. I can recommend this product highly.

I was pretty skeptical about this product to begin with, how could something so simple be THAT great? I was pleasantly surprised. I applied it to a large cotton make-up pad and found it to be very effective at removing make-up although a wee bit stubborn at removing eye make-up but nothing's perfect. A little goes a long way so I can imagine that it'll live up to the claim that it'll last a long time. It does leaves your skin feeling a bit sticky after initial cleansing but it's brief and afterwards it leaves your skin feeling quite smooth. I'd say I have normal to dehydrated skin and it hasn't dried it out at all or caused any major breakouts. Only upset I have is that I have developed a little rash type area on my chin that I've never ever had before, I can't 100% say that it's caused through using this product though as could just be convenient timing. There's products out there that do alot less for alot more money so I'd consider this product to be a wise investment and would definitely repurchase.

This is such an amazing product for a lazy person like me~ it removes makeup, even waterproof ones (it takes a bit of effort, had to rub a few times), leaves my skin feeling very clean and soft; but at the same time it doesn't dry out my skin.

I have sensitive eyes that reacts badly to cleansing products that no need to wash off, sometimes it stints so bad, but surprisingly it didn't stint a bit while using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, it wasn't uncomfortable and I wasn't scared of using this product around my eye areas.

The only negative thing I would say about this product is the smell, I am not sure if it's just me or... others feels the same?! To me it smells like freshly cut grass / bamboos smell, I couldn't handle it during my first few uses, but I am slowly getting use to it now.

Overall this is such a great product! Easy to use, cleanse skin well, removes makeup even heavy ones, leaves skin feeling very soft and smooth.

I've never used or heard of anything like this, and if there was, it's not this affordable. Despite reading the mechanism behind it, I was surprised it didn't smell chemically at all! It was very neutral, no fragrance at all.

It took 2 cotton balls (split each in half) to remove my face make up completely and half a cotton ball to remove my waterproof mascara. I was hesitant to put this on my eyes, expecting it to sting with its chemical properties but I felt nothing at all, and most importantly it removed all of my eye make up!

Although you would need a couple of bags of cotton balls a month to remove make up alone, it is a great value and good lazy make up remover. I still had to rub skin to get the make up off, but I don't have to deal with water running down my arms when I wash my face. Would definitely buy again and recommend this to anyone for camping, sleep overs, or at work at the end of the day.

This product has very simple packaging and instructions and is very competitively priced. It is easy to use and has minimal smell. I found it left my face a bit sticky although that soon disappeared and could also be due to the humidity we've had lately. I tended to use it before I had a shower in the morning and night and used water anyway afterwards to wash my face clean. I felt it did a reasonable job but am not entirely convinced my face was 100% clean afterwards.

Wow! What can I say, I've never been so excited about a product before! And this little (well it's a whopping 400ml) has lived up to its hype and expectation. I am thoroughly happy with this product! Just soaking a cotton pad with this magic water and it swipes away any waterproof mascara or tinted long lasting lipstick! And the best thing is that it doesn't sting my eyes or leave oily residue on my face. I can't get over how lightweight and clean it feels and the texture is just like water. It has a faint perfume smelly but nothing overpowering or unpleasant. I'm just absolutely blown away by how good this product is at removing my makeup. Compared with the famous Bioderma, this product definitely is a strong contender, and it surely wins the price factor. I will be happily using this forever until they make something even better!

I was overall very pleased with the Garnier micellar water. I found it to be quite effective at removing makeup without having to rub - the one exception to that was when I wore a heavy smoky eye with multiple layers of product and needed to remove it quickly. In those cases in future I would take most of the makeup off with a cleanser first and then remove the rest with a micellar water - I didn't initially because I wanted to see how the micellar water would perform on its own.

The micellar water is fragrance-free to my nose and does not irritate my skin at all. I did notice that after using a lot of it to remove heavy makeup it did leave my skin feeling slightly tight, but that isn't really a concern to me since I always follow up with moisturiser (although I did take off one lippie for that as it did not feel as "soothing" as Garnier claims).

I will definitely be repurchasing this product as it is extremely effective at removing makeup, doesn't irritate my skin and is at a reasonable price point. I am going to decant some into a smaller container for on the go or on holiday so I will always have it with me. It is also going to become a permanent part of my makeup artist's kit. I am so glad I got to trial it - thank you BR!
