Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I've alway been a cream cleanser sort of gal. But actually have to say this stuff is pretty good. I have tried it all over my face at bedtime to remove makeup but unless I am so pooped can't wait to get into bed, still prefer a cream cleanser. Saying this I am on to my 2nd large size bottle which I use for an eye makeup remover. Perfect for removing eye makeup even mascara.

This is my go to make up remover right now. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean in the morning and doesn't give me panda eyes in the afternoon. Highly recommend !

Decided to give this brand a go after using another and loving the results. This also did a great job, quickly removing my foundation and lippie but took a bit more work to get rid of the waterproof mascara. I found its a bit tingly on the eyes and you really do need to soak the pad well if your mascara is as tough as mine. Would definitely buy again as its only a tad more work required for very good results

I've been using this for ages and just realized I'd never written a review for it, oops! To me micellar water is basically just makeup remover but faster and cheaper. One big bottle lasts me months and costs under $15, that's a bargain in my book! It removes makeup really effortlessly and I love that a couple swipes with a soaked cotton pad is able to make my face feel 200% lighter. Tiny tiny complain is that it leaves a slightly oily feel rather than that squeaky clean sort of feel after using a proper cleanser. But this is great for when I'm in a rush or too tired (ahem lazy) to do a full-on cleanse. I've very sensitive skin on my face so I did a little patch test on my chin before going all in with it, and to my joy it's not irritating at all! I'm on my second bottle right now and will definitely buy again in the future.

I like it for the time I had it. Was great on my skin. When to clean my skin and it was it was gone. It had moved to my daughters room. Never to return. So for the time I had it it was great. Must say my daughters skin is look very nice thanks to mum letting her keep it.

I've tried quite a few micellar water bottles and this is probably the one I've had the most success with.

Pros: - cleans off quite stubborn makeup (will probably need something stronger, like a balm, to remove eye makeup) - I believe there is a smaller size - packaging is sturdy and disperses a good amount of product

Cons: - leaves face a bit sticky so I usually use water to wipe off - also skin is a bit dry afterwards so definitely moisturise

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water gently cleanses while removing make-up from the face, eyes and lips. It's perfume free, dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, suitable for all skin types, and does not need to be rinsed off.

I bought a bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water when I ran out of my (leaky) bottle of L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-in-1 micellar water, as I'd wanted to try the Garnier one ever since it was first released.

Yes, it is easy to use and not having to rinse it off meant it was perfect to use when traveling or when we have a power failure (we're on tank water not municipal supply, which means when we have no power, there's nothing to activate the water pump so we end up with no water, too).

It removed my make-up as promised, but it didn't leave my skin feeling really clean. I still felt like I needed to cleanse afterwards, but that was probably just all in my mind, as doing a test with a make-up remove wipe afterwards did reveal that my skin was clean and that were wasn't any make-up left on my skin.

I do find that the large 400ml bottle lasts me a lot longer than six months, as I don't use it every night, and as this product does have a six month expiry date after opening, I end up using the rest of the bottle (once it's past its expiry date) to clean my make-up brushes. It makes cleaning brushes a breeze, and foundation, concealer and lipstick, which are usually a bit of a nightmare to wash out of brush bristles, simply just melts away into the micellar water and a quick rinse in clean water afterwards leaves them clean, soft and smelling nice, too.

Will I be purchasing another bottle of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water? I don't know. Garnier have now brought out their Skin Active Micellar Gel Wash, which is basically a foaming cleanser version of micellar water. I have bought a bottle of this and want to see if I prefer it to the Micellar Cleansing Water before I decide which one I prefer.

I use this to take my makeup off at night! I love this product because it is really gentle on my skin and doesnt hurt my eyes. Only issue is it takes a lot of product to take off eye makeup. I use waterproof eyeliner and it REALLY sticks.
