Garnier Micellar water

A clear bottle with a pink pop top lid. 400 ml (great size) Clear liquid oily looking and bubbles. states that it has 200 uses from bottle. No scent. Water consistency and has no oily residue at all. I like to shake it and it bubbles up like a soap. I soak cotton pads and have learnt the more the better, as in, more pads. You only need a few squirms onto the pads and they absorb up the water. Then swiping over face starting at the eyes 1 pad each eye ensure to use both sides then continue on with the rest of the face. It doesn't scratch the face or feel harsh, it does tingle in the eye area and it removes makeup easily. However it doesn't get all of my mascara off. And still need to redo my eyes again with buds and wipes. This product is amazing and leaves you feeling clean. I've used it daily and it hasn't had any side effects no drying, breakouts and still a lot of liquid left. A bit bummed about the mascara not fully removing but still satisfied with product and am certain I'll get a lot of use from this bottle.

Worth trying!

As with many other products, I gave in to the hype and bought myself a bottle of this micellar water. I’m glad I did, because I have been using it almost daily.

It comes in a cute 400ml bottle with a pink lid and pink accents. Very pretty! And it claims to last for 200 uses, which is probably quite possible as I have used it probably over 20 times already and hardly any has gone.

I usually use this to remove my makeup before cleansing, or just at the end of a long day (or night) when I can’t really be bothered properly washing my face. I just squirt a small amount onto a cotton pad and wipe it around my face. It usually takes about 2 pads to fully remove all my makeup. Makeup comes of easily without hard rubbing or pulling, it just wipes right off. I love that I don't have to rinse it off afterwards.

Waterproof eye makeup however is another story. It’s not very effective at removing my They’re Real! Mascara so I usually end up using a separate product to remove eye makeup.

I have gleefully incorporated the Garnier Micellar water into my routine.

I first had tried the L'Oreal version and had been quite disappointed, so I had very high hopes for the Garnier branded water!

I have been using this product for over a month now and I have not had any issues with it causing skin tightness/rough-dry patches/breakouts.

I use this product to take off my make up at night before washing my face, it cleanly removes all of my make-up (leaving me with the barest of panda eyes in the morning, I'm not very good at eye make-up removal) and allows me to only wash my face once with my cleanser before going to sleep.

The Garnier Micellar water leaves me with a smooth not quite dewy but definitely hydrated complexion, in contrast to the L'Oreal version which I found quite drying.

I have used this before and after the gym to give me a fresh feeling before catching the bus home, or reviving myself after a day in a stuffy office. It's also great if you haven't showered and need to duck into the shops for something super quickly and want to feel a little more put together.

Tips: When removing eye make-up do let the cotton pad sit on the eye for a moment before swiping, this allows the product to soak in leaving a nice cool refreshing feeling on your eyes.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

It is my Holy Grail to remove makeup instantly, totally love this product. It does what is says. It is quick and easy to use, simply by soaking a cotton pad and gently swipe off face.

Tips: I tend to leave a soak cotton pad for about 5-10 seconds on the eye area and gently swipe off eyeshadows and waterproof mascara. Not only do I use it remove makeup, I find it cooling and refreshing if I my eyes are puffing by soaking a clean cotton pad and leave it on for 1-5 minutes.

Worked Wonders

I lucked out and found a bottle of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water at my local New World. Which I had been waiting weeks for it to be restocked and I really hoped it wasn't going to let me down after such a long wait as I heard this product had caused a lot of people to break out.

After the first use of this product I was amazed by how much make up it took off but also shocked at how much make up I had been previously leaving on my skin when using other make up removers. I used this product with a cotton make up remover pad. I have been using this product regularly to remove my make up since purchasing and will continue to use it until I run out. I will be definitely be repurchasing as I found it even removed water proof mascara.

One con of this product is that I found the first time I used it my skin felt a little dry the next day so I had to make sure I used moisturiser.

To sum up my review I really enjoyed this product and it definitely didn't let me down with all the hype about it.

Tips: Use this product with a make up remover pad but be sure to soak the pad to get all the product off your face. You may need to go over your face twice to ensure the make up has been completely removed. Ensure you use your moisturiser afterwards.

The best micellar water out there!

I love this stuff! I originally tried the Bioderma Micellar Water and this is EXACTLY the same for a much more wallet friendly price. It removes ALMOST all traces of makeup on my skin. While it is gentle and non-stripping on my skin, I knocked off one point because I find it's too gentle to remove my waterproof mascara (Maybelline Volum Colossal), leaving me with uncomfortable lashes and makeup residue if I don't take additional steps to remove it. It is surprisingly good at removing liquid lipsticks, though!

Tips: I usually dissolve stubborn eye makeup with some baby oil before using this to wipe off all remaining makeup and residue. This leaves my face free of makeup and ready for the next step in my routine (facewash!) I also find it conditions my lashes and leaves them in a better state than when I use the Micellar Water alone.

Broke me out :(

I wanted to love this product so much because of all the hype but it broke me out like crazy, I was so upset about this! But it did do such an incredible job at taking my makeup off and works well as a spot cleaner for brushes too. I also found that this product works wonders at taking makeup stains out of clothes lol!

Tips: Damp a cotton pad with product and use circular motions to remove makeup

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

LOVE IT!!

This is the best makeup remover I have ever used. It pretty much does deliver on all promises, the only thing is I find it takes me a little bit of time to remove all 100% of my makeup.

I have yucky dry sensitive skin and this works wonders on it. It is gentle enough for my skin type and always leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and hydrated after every use.

It does take all my make up off - just not in one quick wipe as it says it does. In fairness I would say that it takes me longer to remove all my makeup using this product but it is much more gentle and leaves my skin feeling lovely with no irritation or sensitivity afterwards. It does say that there is no need to wash your face after but I always do as I could never go to bed without washing my face first. If your not obsessed with washing your face like me then I would say you really do not need to bother, also for those with normal to oily skin this cleanser would offer enough moisture therefore eliminating the need to apply moisturizer after removing your makeup.

I love it and will continue to repurchase.

Tips: I go through far too many makeup pads when using this product - that is really the only downside. In order to eliminate the problem I combine the cleanser with baby wipes and find I can take all my makeup off with two baby wipes.

Removes makeup wonderfully

I have been using this for about a year now, and really like it. It works so well at removing eye makeup and face makeup in general. It usually takes 2-3 cotton pads to get everything off my skin, but it does such a good job. A lot of other products leave some eye makeup behind but this leaves my face totally without makeup. It's also so cheap, you get so many uses out of the huge bottle!

Tips: I always use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil afterwards, since I don't like leaving it on my skin.

monthly fave

With this remover i effortlessly removed my whole face of makeup with only 3 soaked cotton pads. The remover worked really well with taking off my eye makeup, especially my gel eyeliner and mascara. My face was left feeling clean and it didnt make my skin react at all, it left it looking very clean too.

Tips: Hold a soaked pad to your eyelid for 5 seconds before wiping across to remove your eye makeup all at once. Use a second pad for any left over mascara and eyeliner that may have smudged.
