Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I feel like this product was sooo hyped up! When it first launched in NZ it took me so long to find it! I had already been using another brand of micellar water that I had purchased from postie plus which was amaaazing, so when I purchased this I expected it to be even better because of all the hype and it was from a good well known brand, but I felt so let down! I feel like I have to use so much more and rub so much harder than I do with my other product.

It does do what it says it does, I just expected a little more I guess. When I first used it I broke out really bad, but I guess that was just my skin getting use to a new product.

Over all, this product has nice simple packaging, you get a lot for your money, but I feel like there are other products out there (face wipes etc) that will do the same trick

I love how this removed all my eye makeup and my double wear foundation which normally takes double cleansing. My only problem is its hard to come by as it is so popular at the moment so I normally end up having to buy the simple micellar water which doesn't seem to remove my makeup as well as the garnier one.

I love this stuff! I originally tried the Bioderma Micellar Water and this is EXACTLY the same for a much more wallet friendly price. It removes ALMOST all traces of makeup on my skin. While it is gentle and non-stripping on my skin, I knocked off one point because I find it's too gentle to remove my waterproof mascara (Maybelline Volum Colossal), leaving me with uncomfortable lashes and makeup residue if I don't take additional steps to remove it. It is surprisingly good at removing liquid lipsticks, though!

I lucked out and found a bottle of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water at my local New World. Which I had been waiting weeks for it to be restocked and I really hoped it wasn't going to let me down after such a long wait as I heard this product had caused a lot of people to break out.

After the first use of this product I was amazed by how much make up it took off but also shocked at how much make up I had been previously leaving on my skin when using other make up removers. I used this product with a cotton make up remover pad. I have been using this product regularly to remove my make up since purchasing and will continue to use it until I run out. I will be definitely be repurchasing as I found it even removed water proof mascara.

One con of this product is that I found the first time I used it my skin felt a little dry the next day so I had to make sure I used moisturiser.

To sum up my review I really enjoyed this product and it definitely didn't let me down with all the hype about it.

There was so much hype around this product before it came to New Zealand. When my Secret Santa from last year added it to her wishlist, I sourced a way to get it here for her...and snuck in a couple for me.

The packaging is relatively simple, it's clear to show that the product is clear as well, and has a cute pink lid. It doesn't wow me, but it's functional. The product itself feels slightly greasier than just regular water. I got a bit worried after reading reviews that it might break me out. And unfortunately using it just as a remover and not following it up with anything, that's what happened. It was like it left a slightly oily layer on my skin - and while I slept my skin went to town...and broke out.

BUT! I love it as a gentle make up remover - it removes the most stubborn eye make up, it takes recently applied foundation off quickly and it even gets my long last lipstick off without making my lips feel awful. Its just that I have to follow up with something to get that layer off my skin, the 10 0 6 toner I use does the trick with a quick sweep.

I don't know if I will repurchase after I use mine up, the main use for me is eye make up remover and I would like to try another one before making my mind up. Will follow up when I do that.

It is my Holy Grail to remove makeup instantly, totally love this product. It does what is says. It is quick and easy to use, simply by soaking a cotton pad and gently swipe off face.

I tried the Garnier Micellar water after hearing all the hype and really thought it lived up to the expectation. I was initially worried it would sting or be quite oily in my eyes but this was not the case. It removed all my eye makeup so quickly and easily and soothed the skin around my nose too! Will definitely keep using this as it is so handy for taking off my eye makeup once home from work, before cleansing my whole face at bedtime.

I didn't like this micellar water. It felt oily and left a residue in my eyes when I tried to use it to remove eye makeup (which it didn't remove). My vision was blurry for a few minutes until I blinked all the product out. The bottle is bigger than other brands and the price is cheaper so I can see the attraction but I would rather use a regular cleanser than this rubbish. The Loreal version is much better quality and is not oily.
