Garnier Micellar Water In Oil Review

So I'm not a huge fan of micellar water, I didn't understand it and it was just confusing. I had tried it before, just the regular pink one and I hated it. On a whim, I shook up this at the supermarket and I was immediately drawn to the bright yellow oil mixing with the water, so I bought it.

To use, you shake the heck out of the bottle to mix the oil and water, and you pour onto a cotton pad of your choosing. You wipe gently and wah-lah, makeup removed. The bottle is huge, and you get 200 uses out of it. I have decanted mine into smaller bottles as it's to big to fit in my drawer, and I have a small bottle at my makeup station so I can fix mistakes easily.

I like the smell, it's not overly chemically, but it does have a slight fragrance that doesn't irritate my skin or bother me. I have a few mascaras that I find really hard to remove (Too Faced BTS for example, I have trouble removing) but this removes EVERYTHING with ease.

Depending on how much makeup I wear I use 2 or 3 wipes, both sides, to remove my whole face.This does sting slightly if it gets into the eyes but what doesn't when it gets in your eyes!? This is a really awesome micellar water and I'll be buying it again.

I purchased this on a whim about 6 months ago. I was struggling to get all of my eye make up off at the end of the day and hated scrubbing at my eyes.

This stuff works!! I have used a few other micellar waters that worked for about 95% of my make up but I was left with either panda eyes or skin that felt tight or extra sensitive.

This left my skin free of make up and because of the oil it was left feeling moisturised and soft.

Perfect for hot summer days when you want to take your make up off but can’t be bothered to shower just yet. Also works really well on matte liquid lipsticks.

I still have heaps of the left but will be repurchasing once I have finished this bottle. Wish they did travel sizes of this one too.

I wasnt really a fan of the original Garnier Micellar Water to be honest but I thought I would try this one out since they are quite cheap. I run out of my Za cleansing oil and went to get some more only to be told that Za was being discontinued. Guttered. I was recommended Garnier Micellar oil by the lady at the counter and also another customer who highly recommended it saying it removes waterproof make up. It's really good at removing all makeup. Give it a good shake to mix the oil in and use cotton pads to wipe, large ones if you can find them and for mascara you will need to hold the cotton pad on the eyes for a few seconds before wiping, just to make sure it soaks the lashes for a nicer wipe, especially if your like me and pack on the mascara, otherwise the pads pull on your lashes if they are not wet enough and doesn't remove it straight away if they ain't wet. Only thing I dont like about using Micellar oil is that it takes awhile to remove all makeup, in saying that its not the Micellar oil it's the small cotton pads. Wish Garnier would sell large face pads to use with Micellar or even better reusable ones.

I absolutely love this clenser for taking of any waterproof makeup I have on! It takes it off so easily because of the oil in it, plus it still is very gentle on the face, not drying and it doesn’t leave an oily residue on the face afterwards like other oil infused cleansers. I also find it helps to take off any residual eyelash glue which is amazing cause that stuff is a B$&@# to get off!

I got a large bottle of this on special from Countdown. Generally I use the standard Garnier micellar water (in the pink bottle) but I thought I'd give this a go.

The smell is light and refreshing. I can't quite figure out what the smell reminds me of, but I like it!

I give it a good shimmy shake before pouring some on a cotton pad. A soaked pad is plenty to remove makeup from my entire face.

Unlike the standard Garnier micellar, I am glad that I can use this oil version on my lips without them drying out. I can also remove stubborn liquid eyeliner, and I use it in the morning if there is any residual black mascara/eyeshadow/liner left around my eyes.

If you have oily skin the definitely stay away from this. It doesn't leave you feeling oily - in fact I always feel nice and fresh after cleaning my face with it - but I can imagine it aggravating already oily skin.

I recently picked this up from The Warehouse as they didn't have my normal micellar water which is the blue active bottle.

I like how it comes in such a big bottle as it will last for ages. To use you simply shake it up to mix the oil and water. It looks cool mixing up. I pour some over a large makeup remover pad and swipe it all over my face. This removes my mascara and BB cream with ease.

I have dry skin and this leaves it feeling nourished but not greasy at all. I get no irritation or stinging. It does have a subtle fragrance but nothing offensive.

I am unsure if I will keep buying this or go back to my usual blue one. Perhaps use this on my stubborn eyeliner which is hard to remove. All in all a lovely makeup remover.

Oh dear god..this is the only thing that can remove Estee Lauder double wear stay in place without damaging my skin in the process. I had tried numerous micellar waters before (Neutrogena, Garnier sensitive, Garnier oily skin, Nivea, Simple...etc) but only waterproof eye makeup removers are able to remove that mask of a foundation from my face. And they always ends up irritating my skin.

I'm so glad that I found this product and I haven't even looked at other makeup removing products after I bought this. It is an all in one product that can remove stubborn and waterproof eye, lip and other makeup without irritating my skin.

I usually use the pink lid Garnier micellar water but when that ran out I thought I would try this one, as it says on the label "optimal tolerance" - I have very sensitive skin and eczema. However I should've read the ingredients carefully - this cleanser contains both fragrance and alcohols. I wish it had said so on the front label! The fragrance is pleasant but REALLY strong. It's also a hassle to mix in the oil with the water as it separates back almost at once, so you get a cotton pad full of mostly oil. After a few days of using this my skin was drier and my eczema started to make my face itchy, so I stopped using it. Though to be fair it did remove makeup quite well. Would not recommend for anyone with even remotely sensitive skin.

I wondered how micellar water could get any better until I first bought this when on special, I wear waterproof eye makup so anything that might help save my pillowcases was surely worth a shot. This micellar has a pleasant smell, shake the bottle to mix in the oil, apply to cotton pads and swipe swipe swipe. Strips every last trace of mascara and liquid eye liner better than any other makeup cleanser I have tried and have repurchased numerous times. Would recommend to anyone who wears full face makeup, particularly eye makeup. Does leave a slight oily feel to the skin which can be unpleasant - I use before jumping in the shower and rinse it off. My main concern would be it might exacerbate my oily skin but it has had no effect on this. I have used this daily for 6 months
