I have gleefully incorporated the Garnier Micellar water into my routine.
I first had tried the L'Oreal version and had been quite disappointed, so I had very high hopes for the Garnier branded water!
I have been using this product for over a month now and I have not had any issues with it causing skin tightness/rough-dry patches/breakouts.
I use this product to take off my make up at night before washing my face, it cleanly removes all of my make-up (leaving me with the barest of panda eyes in the morning, I'm not very good at eye make-up removal) and allows me to only wash my face once with my cleanser before going to sleep.
The Garnier Micellar water leaves me with a smooth not quite dewy but definitely hydrated complexion, in contrast to the L'Oreal version which I found quite drying.
I have used this before and after the gym to give me a fresh feeling before catching the bus home, or reviving myself after a day in a stuffy office. It's also great if you haven't showered and need to duck into the shops for something super quickly and want to feel a little more put together.
As with many other products, I gave in to the hype and bought myself a bottle of this micellar water. I’m glad I did, because I have been using it almost daily.
It comes in a cute 400ml bottle with a pink lid and pink accents. Very pretty! And it claims to last for 200 uses, which is probably quite possible as I have used it probably over 20 times already and hardly any has gone.
I usually use this to remove my makeup before cleansing, or just at the end of a long day (or night) when I can’t really be bothered properly washing my face. I just squirt a small amount onto a cotton pad and wipe it around my face. It usually takes about 2 pads to fully remove all my makeup. Makeup comes of easily without hard rubbing or pulling, it just wipes right off. I love that I don't have to rinse it off afterwards.
Waterproof eye makeup however is another story. It’s not very effective at removing my They’re Real! Mascara so I usually end up using a separate product to remove eye makeup.
