Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I am all for the lazy girls' routine. No need to wash your face? Yes please! I grabbed a bottle of this micellar cleansing water as soon as it hit the shelves. It was a nice large size for a reasonable price. It's also 'safe' to use on sensitive skin so that's a plus.

However, I soon realised that it's much faster to just wash my face than to sit there with twenty cotton pads. This product also irritated my eyes somewhat, although since purchasing, I've noticed they now have released a sensitive version of micellar water.

Lastly, while I will use it at least once a week, it does leave a soapy residue on my face. I will definitely rinse my face after using this product just because I hate that sticky feeling. Looking at the ingredients, there are some 'soap'-like substances in there, and I'd much rather wash them away than let them absorb into my skin.

All in all, I will reach for this, but I won't tote it to be an amazing magical product like the advertising says.

I love the idea of it. Quick and easy to use, no fuss, just need the bottle and cotton pads. However, it stung my skin and especially my eyes when removing mascara. Also felt like it was stripping my skin making it way too tight and dry.

Brilliant! An affordable addition to any good beauty regime. Clears away any makeup residue that even the best cleansers sometimes leave behind. Leaves the skin feeling fresh, soft and supple. Highly recommended.

I've tried quite a few micellar water bottles and this is probably the one I've had the most success with.

Pros: - cleans off quite stubborn makeup (will probably need something stronger, like a balm, to remove eye makeup) - I believe there is a smaller size - packaging is sturdy and disperses a good amount of product

Cons: - leaves face a bit sticky so I usually use water to wipe off - also skin is a bit dry afterwards so definitely moisturise

I was a little late to jump on the micellar water wagon. But boy I am glad I did! I purchased the huge 400ml bottle for $8.50 at fresh choice. Great price for so much product. It comes in a basic clear bottle with a flip top pink lid which makes it easy to see how much you have left and easy to pour it out.

I use this at night to clean away the days grime and my makeup. I use 3 cotton pads. The first I use on my face, then I use another if I am wearing mascara then I use a new pad to do one final go over to make sure my face is spotless. It removes my bb cream and mascara with ease. My skin is left feeling refreshed and clean. It never feels tight and does not leave any residue.

I have dry, sensitive skin and this does not cause me any issues at all. I have had no breakouts or skin irritations. I really love using this and find it quick and convenient after a long day at work. The bottle lasts for ages! It says 200 uses and I would agree with that.

A definite staple in my skincare regime. Wish I had of tried it a lot sooner.

This stuff is perfect to have around. Whether you are removing make up, tidying up your make up or even getting ready to apply your make up. This product works and is very affordable. I like to use this product before applying my make up as I find it helps clean off any excess dirt or oil I have on my face. It is perfect on a cotton bud to help clean up a wing or to remove eyeshadow fall out and is great to remove excess mascara without irritating the eyes. This product is gentle enough that it works for those with sensitive skin but also will remove make up.

I really like this product as it is refreshing and does not irritate my dry sensitive skin at all! However it just doesn't take off all my make up the end of the day and I end up having to use something more afterwards. I wish it did work better for me as it would be a great option for travelling.
