Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I'm the kind of person that's super obsessed with skincare. I never miss taking my make up off in the evening. I've tried many types of make up removal products from oils to balms and make up remover wipes. I've heard of micellar water before but never had the opportunity to try it til now.

First of all the packaging is very straight forward, as with any other Garnier products. The lid dispenses enough product, not too much and too little which I really appreciate.

It looks like water and doesn't smell much like anything. There are very few ingredients and it's unscented which makes me think this will be fine on sensitive skin. I have dry cheeks, an oily t-zone and sometimes, my skin reacts to certain products but this was fine. It didn't irritate my skin whatsoever.

Unlike with makeup remover wipes, there is no need to scrub your skin to get foundation off. I was very impressed by how fast it took everything off, it was basically effortless and I was wearing heavy duty full coverage foundation when I first tried this.

I was expecting this to dry out my skin but it hasn't at all. In fact, my skin didn't feel as "thirsty" as it would if I had used a different cleanser.

I do think that the 200 use claim is only true if you use larger and good quality cotton pads. I also find that the "no rub" claim wasn't necessarily true for things like waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It does take it off much easier than a make up remover wipe though. All you have to do is drench a cotton pad, leave it on your eye for a few seconds and it does the job.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this product. I'm so glad Garnier has come out with a micellar cleanser water that is inexpensive and easily accessed by many people. I highly recommend this and I will definitely purchase more when I run out.

I would first like to thank BR for letting me review this product. I had seen a lot of people talking about this product like you tube guru's etc they seemed to love it and i was itching to try it! i must say Australia got it a long time before us! i am so happy we can finally buy it in stores here!! I got a information booklet with the micellar cleansing water which i found really helpful , it answered all my questions that i had about the product. On the back of the bottle it says to use a cotton pad soaked in garnier micellar cleansing water so the first time using it i did just that in the morning, my skin felt cleansed and refreshed it didn't leave my skin feeling oily and didn't need to be washed off. That night it was time to take off my full face of make up , i again applied about a 50 cent coin sized amount on the cotton pad but by the time i was done taking all my makeup off i must have used at least six cotton pads, it took everything off and was easy to apply. It doesn't really have a strong smell like other garnier products i have tried. Over the last week or so i have found that the best way to use this product has been to use a make up wipe all over my face first then once i have done that get the eye make up off with the cleansing water and i find that way im only using around 2-3 cotton pads. If i was to keep using six cotton pads a night the cleansing water would not last me any where near 200 uses but if i use around 2-3 cotton pads a day i feel like i could get quite close to 200 uses. For the amount of product you get it's well worth your money! I love the packaging very simple and girly, tells you everything you need to know, it doesn't have a pump but the hole it comes out of is a lot smaller than the normal so it comes out slower which is better so it doesn't go every where. I will be buying this after i have finished the bottle and would recommend it to every one. 10/10 from me!!!

The bottle can be a bit unwieldy, given its size, but I think it's great value! I like how fuss-free it is- not having to wash your cleanser off is super convenient in the mornings. Not having to use toner after is also a bonus. Applying it with a cotton pad means it's pretty impossible to get in your eye too (pitfall of the cleansing bar I would use on and off again.) It's not just the concept I love though - it works really well on my normal to dry skin. The cleansing water doesn't make my skin feel too tight, though I definitely wouldn't skip moisturising after. I had the misfortune of developing a pimple before receiving this product, but the cleansing water was very effective on it. The dastardly pimple quickly reduced in size and was gone within a few days! I'll definitely keep using this. I don't wear make up so can't comment on how effective it is as a make up remover.

The Micellar Cleansing water, is such a convenient product because it removes make up, cleanses and soothes skin without rinsing. It would make a perfect product for those who want to save time. It comes in a large bottle which provides great value. The packaging is simple and fresh which fits the product well. Overall I found this product to be well rounded and worked really well for my skin, and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.

A great product at a price everyone can afford,so hassle free and really does what it says however for me it was still a little harsh on my skin,but then I have really sensitive skin,I think it would suit most other skin types ,just not mine .It felt very refreshing on my face,and certainly took my make up off very easily .i would recommend to others as a worthwhile product .

Love it!! Did what it said it would do, felt refreshing and loved how easily it washed the days "face" away. Also how it was refreshing and awakening it was in the morning. Yet nice and gentle on the delicate eye area. This is such a great simple product and will be a new addition to my beauty items.

I had never heard of Micellar Water prior to getting this trial, so was a little unsure and sceptical of what it would be like.

The bottle is pretty large which is awesome although I can imagine not so great for travelling (definitely going to be decanting into a smaller one!).

I tried this with a full face of makeup and didn't expect it to really make much of a dent. I was really surprised that I did remove pretty much all my makeup and eye makeup. However, it took about 6 cotton pads to do so! Each time I got a new pad I could see there was less and less makeup coming off and I think it was probably the capacity of the cotton pad rather than the cleanser that prevented it all coming off straight away. Did work work on the eye makeup too and I generally only get results from one or two different eye make up removers!

I found my skin was feeling a little sticky afterwards, however I put my moisturiser on and this feeling went away so was probably just the product needing to dry on my skin.

I still like the feeling of washing my face in the mornings (or I don't feel like I've woken up properly!) so I will be sticking to my foaming cleanser in the mornings but this would be a good refresher pre - workout/gym or on the odd occasion I'm not showering straight away!

I wasn't sure what to expect from a Garnier Water - but first of all when this arrived I was impressed at the full size of the bottle! I wear minimal/natural makeup, (primer, powder, blush, shadows, mascara) and this comes off in 2 cotton pads worth of cleanser. It's light and fresh feeling, great for removing everything before bed. My skin can be either oily or dry, but using this my skin didn't react badly at all.

When I first received the bottle I must say I was a little disappointed in the bottle, it looked a little cheap. Straight away I tried a bit of the water on a tissue and my face instantly felt so soft, I used it again before bed and likewise my face featl very soft. Now baring in mind I do not use makeup, I can not comment on the removal but as a cleaner I was happy. I used the product every night and was very happy with the cleaning it did. Howv er when I used it in the morning before my shower while my skin did feel cleaner I still felt the need to use my regular cleaner and give my face a good scrub with the face cloth. I do suffer from a bit of hormonal acne even at the age of 41, so would like to try the product a little longer to report on how it reacts with my hormones. In short I would give it an 80% as I did love the way my skin felt after use, and the ease of cleaning :)

Packaging is simple but nice. The bottle is a big size which is great. I had to apply quite alot to my cotton pad to get my make up off. It didn't hurt my eyes when I took my eye make up off which was surprising so I loved that. Although everything was great I did feel the need to wash my face after taking all my make up off as it felt oily. Other wise this is a great product but is a little over priced.
