I was thoroughly impressed with this product! I have combination skin and can be rather sensitive to products, but had no issues here. There is very little - no scent at all and the solution cuts through my make up perfectly.

Tips: Best applied with a cotton pad in upward movements on the skin. Be gentle, no need to tug. For makeup that seems harder to remove simply hold the saturated cotton pad over the area for a couple seconds and remove as you usually would.
Garnier Micellar cleansing water.. What is this stuff? It is actually a miracle cleansing water! First of all I thought how could water cleanse my skin remove makeup plus a whole lot more. Well it did, I covered my cotton pad and wiped away, to my surprise my skin was squeaky clean and hydrated all in one easy application no need to rinse with water. Amazing! I found it very handy and compact, popped it in my toiletry bag when I went away for a couple of days, along with some cotton makeup removing pads and easy peezy makeup is gone. I also found it amazing with my oily skin, now I don't moisturise at all I just apply my makeup after garnier micellar cleansing water and it actually stays matte all day! I have tried primers, translucent powders you name it, and nothing compares it's actually amazing. If you find your makeup just falls off because your skin is like an oil slick, try garner micellar cleansing water you will be amazed!
I have never used a micellar water before so did not know what to expect from it. I was excited after reading the bottle and looking at a few reviews. First Time I used it it was on a bare face but still ended up with a dirty cotton pad- very impressed it clearly did clean my skin. Had a slight residue after use but that dried and left my skin feeling nice. The next time I used it to get off my make up which took a long time to end up with a clean cotton pad but it definitely did the trick. Works on eye makeup too just didn't seem to work to get my water proof mascara off-but I have struggled to find something that does get it off other than oil. Cute packaging like that it comes in a small size for travel/storage
Tips: Soak the cotton pad
I like this product. It's a clear liquid in a cute pink bottle. You put it on a cotton pad and just wipe it across your skin. Simple as that. Your makeup comes off on to the pad. It may take a couple of swipes for heavier makeup. I also found that holding for a couple of seconds on closed eyes made removing eye makeup easy too
Tips: I found the flat round cotton pads worked best.
This cleansing water is actually really refreshing on my sensitive skin. I thought it might burn but it had a cooling feeling and I was able to put some onto a cotton pad and wipe it over my eyes and my eyes didnt get sore! No irritation occured which was really good. The water itself dried after a few minutes without the need to rinse it off which is actually really helpful and saves time for me. The makeup remover side itself works well, I usually have a full face of makeup and it takes away all the layers which is really nice. I wouldnt use it with toilet paper though because it goes grainy. So cotton pad or baby wipes work well with the water.
I am now a big fan of this cleanser. I love the fact that It doesn't need to be rinsed off, which also makes it super fast to do if you have a busy life and don't have half an hour to stand about scrubbing your face. It is really gentle on my skin, I normally get a reaction to quite a few face products but not this one. There was a little sensitivity around my eyes for the first few uses but I think my skin has adjusted to the new product really well. I find it is best for removing foundation, eye shadow and lipstick but It doesn't do a very good job with eyeliner and mascara. But that could just be put down to it being a gentle product and my eyeliner tends to get pretty heavy duty. I can see the bottle lasting me quite a while, definitely value for money. I currently use it twice a day and it doesn't leave me greasy or dried out which is fantastic.
To use I squirt a small amount onto a cotton pad and gently swipe away all the impurities on my face - simple as that! This is a very useful product for everyday facial cleansing and removal of makeup. I have sensitive skin around my eyes but it didn't irritate them at all, it actually soothed the skin while removing eye makeup. I like this for removing makeup with a cotton pad although I still feel the need to wash my face afterwards. Overall I really enjoy it and considering the price for the amount of uses you get I think its a great purchase!
Tips: Use on those lazy nights when you can't be bothered washing your face before bed.
I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this micellar water- I had not tried this one previously but Had tried the simple brand one.
packaging is sleek and modern and appeals to the modern woman, comes in a couple of different sizes also which is great for travelling.
I found this great for removing makeup, but I did find it a bit bubbly, soapy when had used a lot to take off a full face of makeup. I wouldn't say its no rinse in this situation, I certainly felt like I needed to recleanse my face with my regular cleanser. If you shake the bottle it is kind of bubbly.
It does feel nice and I don't feel the need to recleanse when I use just a little for freshening up or say first thing in morning when my face isn't dirty yet.
it did make my face feel quite "squeaky" and very tight, even after moisturising it still felt a wee bit tight.
I have to say that it is phenomenal at removing water proof mascara (theyre real by benefit) it did a better job of removing that than any of my oil based eye makeup removers and even my trilogy balm. it was very impressive.
I would certainly purchase this again purely for how well it takes my waterproof eye makeuo off, I like it for a quick refresh so would use it for travel, but not as a no rinse cleanser.
Just makes my face feel too dry, I would recommend this to friends and family.
Tips: Soak a cotton pad with micellar water and hold over eye makeup (even waterproof) for a few seconds and marvel at how easy it makes removing it
I'm a huge fan of micellar waters, I only wish this was around during the time when I used (ashamed to admit this) make up remover wipes. I don't use this every evening, but it is a favoured option after those long nights or to get that pesky eye make up that just won't budge. Removes all kinds of make up oh so easily, without being harsh to your skin, I find it does not dry my skin out at all. Very fair price for the size of the bottle, I wish the size I received for this trial was sold elsewhere, it's the perfect travel size!
Tips: I use two cotton pads, moisten one pad, and use the second as a blotter to soak up the excess. This way you're using the right amount of product and it wont get in your eyes. May take a little trial and error to find the right amount of product for different people.
My sister actually brought this to try and of course I had to give it a go aswell, I had full coverage makeup on and it removed it so well, I even had waterproof mascara on and it toke it off pretty well although I feel like it didn't completely remove my makeup although when I had less makeup not full coverage it done the trick really well.
Tips: Take some on a wet cloth and apply the cleansing water and rub in circular motions very gently
