Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

This is a great multi tasker - a couple of swipes on a cotton bud or pad and it removes most of my makeup, allowing me to only need one actual cleanse with my usual cleanser at night. And on nights where I just couldn't handle my full skincare routine, I just used the product to take off all my makeup then moisturised. I also use it to take eye make up off - it did sometimes sting a little, but not any more so than some regular eye make up removers. I did always need to apply it at least twice to get most of the makeup/grime off, but since it comes in such a big bottle it still lasted ages. And I preferred using it and follwing up with a cleanser, because it did sometimes leave some residue.

Plus I loved using this in the morning if I didn't have time for a shower or to actually cleanse my face. Morning or night, I always followed with moisturiser, because while it didn't dry my skin out, I didn't find it super moisturising. I would definitely use again, especially because it is such a multi tasker and allows me to skip buying eye makeup remover. However, I'm looking forward to trying the new Pure Active product instead, since I do have acne prone skin. That being said, this one didn't make me break out and didn't irritate my skin, so I'd give it a go if you are looking for a no fuss makeup remover.

I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about this product ever since it hit the shelves. Despite this I was in no hurry to rush out and get me some, as I thought that it may be a bit of a ‘trendy’ thing. But it’s been a while now since this stuff came out, and it continues to go on being loved by many, so I finally decided to give it a go.

As a cleanser on make-up free skin, it’s very gentle and leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed. I find it perfect to use in the mornings to lightly rinse away the minimal amount of grime on the surface of my face from the use of a night-cream.

As a make-up remover, I don’t like it. I’m not satisfied in it’s ability to completely remove heavy make-up. I feel that I need to use a lot of it, and a heap of cotton pads to get the heavy make-up off. It feels like too much effort compared with other products that I use for this purpose.

It’s good for cleaning make-up brushes and for wiping up little make-up spills. I’ve also used it on my sister to clean away hair dye messed around her ears and such, and it helped to get rid of that staining.

Other than that, the packaging is really cute and practical, and the product has no scent.

While I’m not in love with this Micellar water, it’s good to have, a product that comes in handy. I’m probably not going to miss it too much if I don’t have any, but i’m likely to keep some handy anyway!

Garnier Micellar water is a great and easy way to remove your makeup, and even better it's not expensive! I use a cotton pad dampened with micellar water all over my face, I have to use a few if i'm wearing a full face, and my makeup just comes right off. I will still use a cleanser after this to make sure I get all my makeup off before bed, but these are pretty effective by themselves!

Yes, it is true that this make up remover is fabulous. I have used other brands as well but this is much better and work well with one clean. It is soft on skin and keeps it moisturising and supple. I don't have to use water at all to clean afterwards. I think this is the easiest after hectic day when you don't want to spend too much time cleaning your face.love it!

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.

This product is really good at takeing off my makeup at the end of the day. It pretty much is able to take off all my makeup and it doesn’t dry out or irritate my skin which is great! I’m not having to rub and tug on my skin to get the makeup off which will pay off in the long run. Though this does have a hard time getting off waterproof makeup which I use the oil infused micellar water which works perfectly! Also be careful around the eyes as it can sting a bit if it gets into your eyes

I've used this cleanser for a while now and it seems to last forever! I don't think it removes as much as a normal foaming cleanser, but I have super sensitive skin (and eczema) so I can't use normal cleansers anyway. This definitely doesn't irritate my skin either!

For someone who doesn't use strong makeup, Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water is quite effective in terms of removing the product from your skin. It's also quite good in 'touching up' make-up as well. However, I used this product to remove a NARS eyeliner and it did irritate the sides of my eyes a little bit - so you may need to follow up with a soothing cream cleanser or moisuriser
