Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin Reviews

I received the invite to review Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil on a morning I got up with panda eyes (again) & thought “Let’s hope this one works….” I wear Benefit They’re Real mascara & it is notoriously difficult to remove. I love the mascara but have tried a few eye make removers including the Benefit one without success. I also wear contact lenses so am a little careful with what eye make removers I try. So how did this one fare? It states it is for delicate eyes & skin & will remove waterproof makeup, whilst cleansing & soothing. It is a biphase formula so you have to shake the oil into the water-based liquid prior to use. This was easy to do & mixed evenly. You then use a cotton pad to apply to the face – eyes, face & lips without rubbing. Obviously you do need to wipe to get make-up off but this was achieved by a couple of gentle swipes rather than rubbing. I repeated the process around my eyes & voila my eye make-up was gone! It also removed my foundation & lipstick with no problems whatsoever. Onto the product: I must say it is a large bottle which surprised me a little for a makeup remover but I guess if you are using it for the whole face rather than just eyes that’s fine. It will last for 200 uses which makes it very cost effective. Side note – I would transfer some to a smaller bottle if I was travelling…. The fragrance is subtle & pleasant. It says it is non-greasy & this really is true. This was a pleasant discovery as I was a bit worried when the ingredients mentioned oil. It leaves the skin feeling nice & also soothed. The blurb states that you do not need to wash the face afterwards & I feel this would be true. However I always wash my face with a facial wash in the shower & after using the product my skin felt great. The only downside is that the ingredient list says it contains benzyl alcohol which may put some people off although it doesn’t state how much. This is used usually used as a preservative, solvent & viscosity-decreasing agent in skin care. It did not dry my skin out at all. So to the verdict: I woke up without panda eyes. Bottom line – I love this product & will happily continue to use it & recommend to my friends. It does what it says on the bottle!!!

The original Garnier micellar with oil was my absolute favourite until I tried this sensitive version.It is a pretty blue colour and has a pleasant floral like fragrance. But the best thing about it , is that it doesn't sting my eyes or skin around my eyes. Recently my eyes and around my eyes has become sensitive due to using a retinol product and accidentally getting it around my eyes. My usual eye makeup remover was starting to sting but the Garnier micellar for delicate skin doesn't sting one bit. I did find I had to rub a bit to remove my waterproof mascara but it did remove it well and without leaving a greasy residue. It also removes my long wear foundation and leaves my skin clean but not tight and dry. I do like this product and will definitely be re purchasing it.

The original garnier micellar water is my all time favourite so I was really excited to try this one as my only complaint about the original was sometimes it didn’t get waterproof eye mascara off & it made my eyelids sting!

Because of all this, this is my new favourite it’s honestly amazing! Make up glides off without rubbing & there’s no stinging at all & waterproof comes off too!

Very impressed!

This new and improved Garnier Micellar water with oil, is a new take on previous versions of the product, it comes in a recyclable friendly container, clip lid with a easy to use squeeze nozzle, allowing for efficient spread of product onto your cleaning pad, after several pads my eye make up was removed (I use Bobbi brown for eyes) so the eye make up can be tough to move, but this product removed it quickly, the only thing that did stand out was the residue, I washed my face with cool water and then warm in order to get the product off, whilst this isn’t a bad thing it just means longer time sorting out yourself after makeup removal. I use contacts as well as glasses, and I found it didn’t irritate my eyes, which can be common among contact lens wearers. So that is a bonus.

I was lucky enough to trial this product and am impressed that I have found a Micellar water that is great for my skin as some of the others have left me with allergies. It did take a couple of cotton swabs to remove my make-up but to me that is to be expected! I love the fact that it didn't irritate my eyes while i wear my contact lenses too as some products I've used in the past have caused issues when cleaning off my make up at the end of the day.

I think I will definitely be purchasing more as I really like the fact my skin didn't react and it was easy to use and cleans off make up well.

Has an ok scent which didn't annoy me.

I liked this product, it seems to do the job well. Need to go over my face a couple times to make sure I've got all my make up off but it's nice and gentle so not drying me out

When this first arrived I was unsure about using a Micellar water with oil, the bottle was great and after a quick shake it mixed together like a dream.

As a contact lens wearer trying to remove makeup can be a nightmare but this removed eye make up like a dream just a small amount on a cleansing pad and my mascara and eye make up came off with no rubbing so no irritation at all.

Cleansed the rest of my face with no rubbing as well and the make up of the day was just a distant memory with no remaining signs!

My skin afterwards felt clean and plump not dry and fragile like usual after cleansing and I was able to cleanse without removing my contact lens a real dream!

Price - great and can be picked up with groceries. A great product that takes of all the eye makeup and other makeup. Leaves my face feeling soft as and not oily. Love it and will buy it again. Can definitely use when wearing my contacts , definitely don't sting.

The combination of micellar water and oil in the Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes and Skin is brilliant and definitely delivers! The formula is gentle, even on my super sensitive, reactive skin, although an oil, the formula isn’t greasy, the smell is subtle but pleasant and the price point makes it super affordable. I think it would make a great substitute for sometimes somewhat harsh wipes, my skin felt surprisingly smooth and hydrated after using thanks to the combination. I think this would be a great addition to my professional makeup kit as it can be used quickly and easily with a cotton pad and no need to rinse. I would recommend this product to anyone who is time poor at the end of the day and needs to get their makeup off quickly and hassle free. Bonus of being suitable for us sensitive skin types! Great work Garnier!

This micellar water is hands down the best one I’ve tried yet! Gentle enough for those with very sensitive eyes like myself but still takes off my waterproof eye makeup in five seconds!! Makes my night time routine so much easier!
