Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I must have been hiding under a rock, as I had never heard of Micellar cleansing water. When I started to read some reviews I was intrigued. And I must say this product didn't disappoint! The packaging is nice and feminine looking, pink lid, easy pour dispenser, so you can control how much comes out. It looks clean and clear and inviting to use. It smells a bit like witch hazel toner, which isn't unpleasant. I currently use Double wear foundation , which is notoriously hard to remove, so I was a bit sceptical as to whether "water" would do it. But amazingly it does! I did use four cotton pads, instead of the one recommended, but it removed every ounce of my foundation, and left my skin feeling smooth and comfortable, not at all dry and tight, and neither was it oily. I am a convert for sure! Amazing and so convenient, I can sit in front of my favourite tv show and remove my makeup , so that its all done by bedtime, as sometimes, when I drag myself to bed , I have to force myself to remove my makeup ( and occasionally, not often, I have slept in it, naughty I know how bad it is for my skin) The only issue I have with this product is that it doesn't remove my mascara, which is waterproof, even if I soaked a pad and left it on my eye for 1 minute, it still didn't come off. I think an oily remover is the only way to remove waterproof mascara. But that's ok, I'm so happy with the job it did on my skin, I can cope with removing my mascara separately!

I have been using this morning and night as well as 1/2 hour before applying my makeup. To be honest I was not expecting alot from this as I have used Garnier skincare prducts in the past and my skin would react to it . . . but wanted to see what all the hype was with this item. So each morning I would soak a makeup round in the cleansing water and gently apply over the face, eyes, lips and down the neck leave to dry before applying my moisturiser and lip balm and instantly my skin feels fresh and clean. I apply a small amount about 1/2 hour before applying my makeup and I have noticed my makeup application has improved slightly as it has more smooth, clean bare canvas for products to be applied to. But the thing I love the most with this is at night time when removing my makeup . . . I soak a couple of makeup rounds in the cleansing water, wipe one round over eyes and the other over the rest of the face. I wear Estee Lauder DW foundation and alot of waterproof products and I find using the cleansing water first before using my clarisonic and my expensive Michael Todd cleanser helps remove about 70% of the built on products so leaves less work for the other items which is awesome because then I save $$. This is an amazing product and Garnier deserves a pat on the back for this. for the amount you get and for the results you get the RRP $12.99 is an absoulte steal.

This is the best cleanser I have tried as I am often exhausted at night especially and can be pretty casual with removal of my makeup. However - this bottle of magic removes my primer, foundation and eye makeup with speed and efficiency. No frantic rubbing or rinsing, no smell or oily residue, just a few drops on a cotton pad does the job with such speed I was blown away with the results. My face has never felt cleaner and I think is responding better to the serum and cream which then gets applied. Will be buying this again - definitely.

I love this stuff! Firstly it's such a great, affordable price, I would reccommend anyone to try it! My skin is very sensitive, dry and acne prone but it does like this product! It leaves my skin feeling so soft. I used to use just makeup wipes but I'm really amazed after using this, how much I actually left behind, it removes makeup easily without a fuss. You also don't need to use much which is great, although I do go through more than one cotton pad at a time. It really does the job well, leaving the face cool and calm afterwards (no irritation or burning feeling at all) you don't have to attack your face when removing your makeup with this product. Definitely something I'll be repurchasing! You'll be suprised at how much makeup you really miss when you're removing :)

I honestly went into this thinking it couldn't possibly do all the things they said it would. I truly apologise! Garner Micellar Cleansing Water is Fabulous. The first time I used it was at the end of the day, I had had a shower, but we all know that plain old water doesn't get the foundation and eye makeup off entirely. So I got a cotton pad and thought I'd give it a go. It was amazing! It felt fabulous on my skin, cooling, refreshing and the 'panda eyes' were no match for this product. My skin felt not only clean and fresh but beautifully soft. I now have used Micellar Cleansing Water morning and night for the last week and I don't think I want to stop now, I have noticed a big difference in the softness of my skin and I don't want to go back to what it was. This is a very gentle product, not at all harsh or astringent. It doesn't sting your eyes when you attack your eye makeup nor does it sting your blemishes ( of which I now have less of) . I didn't need to use a lot, as one gentle wipe is all you need, but as I am now a complete convert, the larger bottle is definitely a draw card as is the price. So, as you can tell, I'm pretty impressed by this product and I will be recommending it to anyone who will listen and I will absolutely be buying another bottle when this one is done. Thank you so much Beauty Review for giving me this opportunity and introducing me to Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.

I've seen this product all over Instagram in the recent months and have wanted to try it so badly. I found that even with a full face of make up including waterproof mascara and brow products (which normally doesn't come off with make up wipes or standard make up remover) came off straight away without any rubbing! My skin also felt really moisturised afterwards as well. I even got my sister and friend to try it and both of them were amazing at our good it is and have just purchased some bottles themselves! Definite 10/10

Well the first thing that I noticed was the price. I use Johnsons cleansing wipes at $10 per 20 in a packet. The garner water at $12.99rrp says has 200 uses per bottle. So right away it had my attention, I mean what woman doesn't like saving money, however I have tried many wipes and makeup removers that were completely useless so I used it with pessimism. What do you know it works just as well I'd not better than my fav wipes!! Yay. It has the feel of pure filtered water and is amazing at removing makeup. I also used it to clean my face and was surprised at the dirt it wiped off. Bravo garner, bravo, you have gained a new customer. Go to it girls, it's fantastic and sooo cheap....winner hands down

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.

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.
