Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I first tried this at my mum's house when I was visiting for my birthday, as she got a trial through BR. I tried it after my party and thought it was great so I bought some for myself. Now I'm not 100% sold on it. It was good for removing my foundation easily but I've now switched to double wear and it doesn't take that off so easily. It is good for removing my eye-makeup but I do find that I have to wipe over my eyes quite a bit to get all the eyeliner/mascara off so it's not quite the "no rub" it says. Overall I wouldn't rave about it, but it's not bad either. It will definitely last a long time as you don't need much to soak a cotton pad which is a bonus.

I have been using micellar water religiously for a month and have nothing bad to say about it. It took me a while to get my mitts on some but i was not disapointed, firstly the price is fantastic! $12 for 2oo uses (give or take i use a bit much so it lasts me maybe half that) secondly- you use with a cotton pad! boy do i not miss the 1000 facecloths each week i had to wash (slight exaggeration maybe but it sure felt like it)

now down to the real reason why micellar water is the new love of my life

-It has helped my acne better than any other product by far! Because my face is so clean afterwards that my skin breathes and my pores arent blocked and Oh i just love the clean feel I have afterwards

-No residue or need to wash off -Now i have a 12 week old baby and a 3 year old so if you have children you also know that it is hard to keep up a proper cleansing routine with two kidlets to attend to. So in the 5 mins I get to brush my teeth etc before bed i can easily wet my cotton pad with it wipe wipe and done... PHEW painless and so fast

-All my makeup comes off, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner *ahem eyebrows everything... All with the one product... How wonderful no fussing around with multiples...

I'm not one to use this in amongst other products for my routine because I simply haven't got time and the amazing thing is that this works amazingly on its own. I think It likes being an only child in fact. And my face is happy too...!

I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about this product prior to purchasing it. When I saw it was on special at Countdown I had to get it and try it for myself.

It comes in a verrry generous 400ml bottle which is clear with a pink lid. It's cute!

Now, I have used it in conjunction with my normal skin care routine as well as a final step just before going to bed (you know those kinds of nights when you've been out clubbing , when you get home taking off all your makeup is the LAST thing on your mind). I found that it look off a LOT of my makeup on those "I can't be bothered nights"

BUT .... I recently have been using it PRIOR to washing my face with my normal cleanser. I realised that it doesn't actually take off ALL my makeup... as my cleanser turns brown from the foundation it picks up that the micellar water has left behind.

It is a really good makeup remover, and I would recommend it for those off nights when you can’t be bothered with your full skin care routine, however, I would not recommend it as a replacement for a good cleanse.

Been using this for the past month and it's not too bad. A little bit of it on a cotton pad does go a long. It doesn't irritate the skin around my eyes where it's most sensitive and does get almost all the makeup off with one pad of it. I'd recommend still cleaning your face afterwards even though it says you don't have to.

I love this product! washing my face over the sink is never all that easy for me, my bathroom water takes the longest to heat up (i know FWP) i get water and cleanser running down the arms and a mess all round the bathroom, with a foundation stained sink! This is a nice routine in the morning to waken you up a bit, but at the end of the day not that great

This i keep with my makeup, i can sit down and remove my makeup, pop on a cotton pad, and done!

i dont think its as good as the original bioderma, (just a tiny tiny bit!) but being SO much cheaper, and much easier to get in NZ its my preference.

I can use it to remove eye makeup, but if i had anything heavy duty (shadow bases, creams or waterproof) i will have to get my oil based remover out.

i'm so thrilled there is a bio derma dupe so cheap and accessable!!

I have sensitive skin, i don't like putting new things my face but i knew i had to try the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. I am quite slack with taking my makeup off at the end of the day but this product made it easy! I use a couple of cotton pads and generously coated it then swiped away, with ease it took all my makeup off and didn't irritate my skin, its very gentle and you don't have to wash it off! it leaves a fresh feeling on my skin

I've tried a number of different makeup removers and found this one to work best for me. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and always find using new products tends to make my skin breakout. This wasn't the case when trying the micellar cleansing water. To be honest, after watching/reading heaps of reviews raving about this product, I was quite eager to give it a go. I wasn't let down either, it really is great at removing all my eye makeup and lipstick which I usually have the hardest time with when using other products. I also like that the scent is mild and that when removing my lip products, it doesn't taste like I've swallowed a bar of soap! It's really easy and gentle on your skin, I highly recommend you try it.

It's great for touching up any mistakes you make when doing winged eyeliner lol. The lid is the perfect size for wetting a cotton bud when you need to wipe off a little bit of stray eyeliner.

Definitely a good price point for the amount you get too, nice to know you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for things to be of good, decent quality!

I honestly thought the hype surrounding Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water was crazy. How good could this product be?

Really good, my curiosity got the better of me and I ended up purchasing it after I ran out of my eye makeup remover.

The product claims it removes makeup and cleanses your face without you even having to wash your face.

I found the product removed the most stubborn waterproof mascara I had. It also removed highly pigmented lipstick and even double wear.

This water is magical.

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.

So many people have raved about this so when I found it in my local supermarket, I didn't hesitate to buy it. It is fairly inexpensive for the size.

I did find that it removed all my makeup quite really especially mascara. I still needed 3-4 cotton pads though which was a bit wasteful.

I liked using it but after a week or so I started getting breakouts. I do have sensitive and acne-prone skin but my skin has been good lately and I didn't change anything else in my skincare routine except for using this to remove my makeup.

I wish this worked for me but unfortunately I can't use it all over my face. Overall, it is an okay product. I wouldn't rave about it as much as others based on my own experience but if this doesn't break you out, I understand why it's such a loved product.
