I heard so many good things about it, was so excited when i got it on my hand.
Its the best make up remover i have tried. It doesnt stink your eyes or leaving oily residue.
Its super cheap for such a great amount, comes in a cute pink lid bottle which doesnt leek. The design is so simple but eye catching.
In the first use, i left it on as they recommend, remove make up and apply skincare. I woke up with a rash of pimples around my mouth, some here some there around my face. They are small under skin without head pimples.
I didnt give up because i liked it so much. I tried to use it as make up remover only. Hopefully after a good clean right after it should be fine. Pimples didnt appear like night mare like the first use but they still show up. Too bad my skin doesnt like it.
Now i use it for eye and lip make up remover. I wish i can use all the benefit of it. Still a great product.
I picked this up back in January when I was over in Sydney. Of course soon after I got back there were rumours of this coming to NZ. I've been using my Bioderma Micellar water for over a year so as soon as it ran out I was happy to try the Garnier version as it is much cheaper and easier to get.
The packaging is very simple. I really like the clear plastic container as you always know how much you have left. The pink cap works well and I haven't had any problems with getting it on and off or breaking. I like the oval shaped bottle as it is easy to hold and the plastic seems quite thin so easier to push to get product out faster.
I find this incredibly similar to my Bioderma (lucky for me and my bank balance). It looks and feels just like water, but better. Personally I use this on a cotton pad after I have cleansed my face to get rid of any further make-up residue, like having a second cleanse. I also use it in the morning just to make sure my skin is clean before putting more stuff on my face. I have found that it isn't the best at removing waterproof mascara. I have to put it on the cotton pad then leave on my lashes for a bit before swiping off, but for the price I don't mind. It doesn't make me feel like my skin is stripped of moisture and I have had no redness/reaction to this at all.
I'm impressed with this product as it does all the things I want it to, and the price isn't too bad either. My Bioderma bottle (that I used in the same way) of about the same size lasted me 10 months so that shows that this is incredibly good value!
UPDATE: Turns out that this product does in fact break me out. I found that some of my pimples were not healing as fast as usual and that I had a huge amount on my chin. I stopped using this and went on to use a Simple Micellar Water instead and haven't had this problem. Therefore I have downgraded this product and will not be using it again.
