I received a small bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water to review.
This stuff is a staple in my skincare/makeup removal routine. It's the first thing I reach for every night when getting ready for bed.
Just a couple of shakes onto a cotton pad is enough to remove all my eye makeup and most of my foundation. A second pass over my face will get it clean enough that I don't feel the need to wash my face (if I'm really desperate to get to bed!) I usually use a cleanser after this if I'm doing my full skincare routine.
This micellar water has no scent and feels like water, however it leaves my normal/dry skin feeling hydrated and comfortable - I could skip moisturiser and my face wouldn't hate me. It doesn't leave any residue on my skin.
It won't remove waterproof makeup so you'll need a dedicated makeup remover for that, but it'll remove even the heaviest non-waterproof makeup easily and gently.
I really have nothing bad to say about this product. It's affordable, lasts a long time, easy to use, effective and truly a must-have.
I tend to use makeup remover wipes as they are much more convenient to use, you can just wip one out and use it straight away. This product was a risky trial for me as I didn't know if I would like the product or not as my previous experiences with similar products aren't that great. I don't usually like to use liquid makeup remover as I don't like the way it feels on my skin, such as leaving my face feeling oily and clogged. The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is the first makeup remover that has left me feeling satisfies with the results. It not only took my makeup off, both eye and face but also didn't leave my skin feeling oily. This is something I look for in a product as I hate my skin feeling oily. I feel this product definitely did everything it said it would and can really take off stubborn, waterproof eye makeup. The fact that it is hypoallergenic and perfume free is a bonus, especially for me as I have had reactions to perfumed makeup removers and toners. To be perfectly honest, I would definitely consider buying this product once my free sample runs out which I have a feeling it will soon as I already love it!
