Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

So after hearing all the rave reviews about this from youtubers, bloggers and girls who had managed to get this from overseas, I was really hoping this would live up to the hype... And it 100% did!

I am so happy with this product that after using it, I cannot imagine going back to a regular cleanser.

This cleans off my eye makeup a hundred times better than any eye makeup remover I have tried, and without any of the irritation. I use it for cleaning off any excess makeup that my in-shower cleanser didn't get off, and I also use it to spot clean my makeup brushes. It does an amazing job at everything.

I love that the packaging is cute and it comes in such a big bottle, even though I'm sure I'll use it up in no time. I'm super excited to find out about all the different ways it can be used :)

This product is my first experience with micellar water and I am impressed! It makes my skin feel refreshed yet clean - absolutely no residue is left. My skin is clearer, softer, and my make-up applies easier after just one week of using the cleansing water twice a day.

In terms of make-up removal, I prefer to use it after using my usual removal wipes, as I find I need four or five cotton rounds otherwise. It's amazing how much more make-up the micellar water removes after the wipes, though!

I love the large bottle size and the reasonable price, too. I would definitely repurchase! My only (small) gripe is the lid. I would love to see a spritzer/spray top instead, as it's much easier to distribute product that way, and less chance of leakage.

This was the fist time I had heard of Micellar water and so I had no idea what to expect. But I must say that I am very impressed. It was very easy to use, no washing off. It removed my make up very well, just took a little bit to remove my eye make up but it definitely did.

I've been using it twice daily, once before bed and when I wake up, and my skin is feeling refreshed and clean.

You don't have to use a lot at a time, and thus this one bottle will last awhile. And it's great value for money, very affordable

I was looking forward to using this item after hearing so much about it (I was especially looking forward to using it after seeing Lauren Curtis use it). Needless to say I was a little disappointed? The first few days I used this I removed my makeup completely with it and when holding it on my eye (only for around 10 seconds to get off the mascara) it irritated my eye and made it itchy. The other days I have used it I've been using it after my makeup wipes and it gets off the excess makeup that the makeup wipes did it.

Around the time I stayed using this I've had huge breakouts, I don't know if this is related but hopefully not!

With my dry and sensitive skin I guess I wasn't 'wowed' by this. But being the first thing like this I have used there is nothing to compare it to.

I didn't get off to a great start with micellar cleansing water, When I received this product it had leaked even thought it had a seal The only thing appealing about the packaging is the pink lid The bottle is boring but the font is big and easy to read

I really like that the product is clear and doesn't contain perfume I think it smells slightly like coconut water The product and price are good for a 400ml bottle this is a good size

It is so easy to use, I used it both with a cleansing pad and without it took off my make up really well I wear eyeliner, eyeshadow, eyebrows and full foundation. It didn't sting my eyes like some products do I had a bread out and the redness went away after using this day and night for 5 days My skin feels great after using it not overalls dry and not sensitive

So I was happy to give this a try as an occasional make-up wearer and someone with very sensitive skin I wasn't sure how much use I would get from it.. The first time i used I only had cotton balls - not the best effect at all- so was off to the shops to invest in makeup pads. I have been using twice a day for over a week now and my skin is lovely and clear no reactions at all. It leaves my skin super clean - its amazing how much grime you can get on your face in a day even without makeup. It reminds me of older style toners without the smell and sting. It removes makeup easily when using pads and makes me so much more likely to do it as its quick and easy. It also leaves skin soft and doesn't make your face feel all tight and shiny like some products can. I like this so much I am using instead of face wash!. Great value for money too.

This was a really light and refreshing cleanser which was really easy to apply. It was fragrance free which added I think to the light feeling. You didn't need to use a lot to get the job done and I think that it will be great value for money. It certainly does remove make up easily and was gentle enough to be used on my school-age daughters face when she used her lipstick! Packaging was plain and simple which I found refreshing. Results were good, my face can be temperamental but it didn't react negatively so it will probably be good for people with sensitive skins. I would definitely recommend it as a good cost effect cleanser for all.

I have been using this product for the past five days. Prior to commecing its use I was not familiar with this technology so was not sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective this product was in removing makeup including waterproof mascara. My skin is fairly sensitive but this product not only cleansed but also did sooth. Today I recommended this product to a work colleague, not something I do lightly. This product in a smaller size bottle would be great for taking on holiday as it cleanses better than makeup wipes. There was an article in this weeks Sunday paper about this particular technology suggesting that up until recently this suspension was only avaiable via expensive skin care products so thank you Garnier for making this an affordable product.

When I got it, I read the instructions and did exactly as it said to. YES...it cleaned my makeu up off really well. But there a down-points to this...it says "perfectly cleansed skin and refreshed skin without vigorous rubbing or rinsing. A soothing formula without purfume to suit all skin types, including sensitive. Micellar cleansing water removes makeup, cleanses and sloths skin on the face, eyes and lips in one step without needing to rinse off". So I took this product literally...I used this to basically wash my face at the beginning and end of the day like a remover-wash-and-toner all in one before moisturising. BAD IDEA! I broke out and my normal to dry skin is now oily! I'm still in recover mode lol. I say this is simply a basic makeup remover. Nothing more, nothing less. Being water based it didn't remove my waterproof mascara either. Thankfully I don't use waterproof products on a usual basis. But on an end note...its a good makeup remover for nonwaterproof makeup, also makes a good brush spot cleaner, and is really good value for money...400ml for $12.99 compared with other removers of 125ml for $11.99 or $8 on special.

Firstly, the packaging is clear and simple. It's nothing special, but it's sturdy, well labelled and it works.

More importantly though is the stuff inside. It has no fragrance which is great because sometimes it can irritate my skin, especially with my blemish prone skin. It leaves no oily residue, or any residue, and you don't have to wash your face after. It is super gentle at removing make up and doesn't dry out the skin.

Usually, I wear concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara and blush. It does a fantastic job of removing my base - usually only one cotton pad will do. It does take more to get rid of eyeliner and mascara, so I tend to stick with an eye makeup remover for that. It's just fantastic in general - I haven't used any makeup wipes since using this and while I am usually pedantic about how it leaves my skin feeling, this leaves my skin refreshed and clean. I usually use this to take off my makeup after coming home from uni, then wash my face before I go to sleep.

Definitely gentle, suitable for all skin types (I am combo-oily) and so affordable!
