An exciting addition to the Micellar range! Garnier's first bi-phase Micellar solution infused with cleansing oils.

After trying and loving the original of this product the concept of this was exciting and couldn't wait to try it.
How ever I was sadly disappointed.... Yes it does what it says with removing makeup (including water proof mascara) but even with using the smallest amount it left this horrible oily residue on my skin to the point I had to rewash my face, this caused me to break out if I didn't remove all of it.
I am a huge fan of micellar water and find it very effective in removing make up without lots of rubbing and pulling my skin. I find Garnier micellar water to be normally good so I was keen to try this more nourishing version. The bi-phase oil and water substance means that you have to shake the bottle in between pouring it onto a cotton wool pad as it separates again really quickly. This is a bit of an annoyance as it seems to slow down the cleansing process. When using this on stubborn make up such as waterproof mascara I find it less effective than the normal water cleanser. It takes two or three pads to work. And here comes the most two annoying factors. One it leaves an oily residue on your skin which you have to rinse off. Again it defeats the purpose of the quick, one stop micellar cleansing process. Secondly it hurts the skin around my eyes and if burns my eyes, making them sting. So overall it doesn’t work as well as promised, isn’t as quick and easy as the original and inflames my skin. I will be sticking to the original micellar water from now on.
Tips: Be very careful if you have sensitive skin around the eyes as this can be harsh.
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.
Tips: Avoid if you have sensitive skin
I was very excited to try this Garnier micellar water with oil infusion for the first time. I don't traditionally use micellar water but I do use oils on my skin. I do wear makeup everyday and waterproof mascara and was very interested to see how this product would work with makeup removal. The products definitely worked very well for makeup removal and I did like the oil infusion however I did feel that it was very stringent on my skin and I did have several breakouts after a couple of days. I would definitely use it again for makeup removal and loved the fresh smell, however I would probably continue to use my usual regime of a cream cleanser and an evening face wash with moisturiser or evening oil.
Tips: Use a well saturated cotton pad for face but not too much on eyes. Wouldn't recommend for aging or sensitive skin.
I have been a diehard fan of the micellar water since it came out, and think Garnier have the best on the market. If they were cruelty free I would buy theirs exclusively. When I tried this version I found it really irritated my normally tolerant eyes. I wouldn’t buy it again (but it did remove the makeup!)
Tips: Makes a good brush cleaner if you wanted to use it up.
I decided to try this micellar water as I use the original one a lot and thought this may take my waterproof mascara off better... I was wrong. Yes it was more oily so it took my mascara off faster, but it left a horrible oily residue all over my eyes and face that it claims it doesn't have! It also made my eyes go gunky and stingy from the residue so I would not purchase again.
I bought this as an alternative to my make up wipes as I'd heard great things about micellar water in oil being a great alternative with home made reusable wipes. I went with the Garnier brand because I love Garnier products in general however I've been left really disappointed. However, I struggle every night to remove my make up properly. I use a lot of the product, and my skin feels less than desirable afterwards. I have used other brands of micellar water before, but I think I'll return to those once this bottle is empty because I've had better success.
A very interesting product. The oil mixing with the water was a strange concoction and had a shiny sparkle to it and left a residue on my hands after applying it to a cotton pad. I think I prefer original micellar water as it has a similar power at working to remove makeup.
I love using Garnier Products, but didn't find that I would use this one again. It did what it said it would and took off my makeup product on my face and eyes however, it left a very oily, residue on my face and hands. It didn't make my face feel 'clean' or 'soothed'. I wouldn't buy this product again.
I was disappointed especially after reading reviews. My face went very oily and broke out almost immediately
