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

Garnier has made a technological breakthrough in combining the power of cleansing oils with the efficiency of micellar. When the bottle is shaken the two components combine, allowing even the most stubborn make-up to be gently removed without leaving a greasy film. Argan Oil (which is rich in essential fatty acids) and Vitamin E soothes, hydrates and softens the skin. This prevents drying and brings a 'skincare' touch to make-up removal. Cleansing oils are so effective are removing long-wear and waterproof make-up because oil dilutes make-up components that are resistant to water. This allows make-up to be removed more easily by helping it slide off the skin and eyelashes.

Another stunner

No secret I’m a huge fan of micellar water to remove my makeup.. I think I’ve tried all of them. I haven’t really been let down yet. Especially by garnier.

This was no exception.

I think the thing I loved most was that this miraculous micellar water dissolved and helped wash away some of the most stubborn mascara I’ve ever used!! I really need to start wearing my glasses more when shopping because I purchased a waterproof mascara - something I don’t do often.. as much as I love the thought, I hate the thought of removing it even more. But this micellar water worked wonders. Hands down it removed my waterproof mascara with ease! I was gobsmacked as my gel micellar (as much as I love it) struggled.

It left my sensitive skin feeling clean and fresh and not oily or irritated. So that’s another big win for me. I don’t feel like my skins been stripped thank goodness.. even though I follow up with moisturiser etc some washes leave my skin dryer than the Sahara desert.

One thing about micellar water is the application.. I don’t like using a disposable wipe all the time so I’ve brought 2 washable wipes - I just need to stay on top of my washing now eek.

It’s a really decent size and look from garnier. On par with the rest of the micellar range. I have a nice wee line up going on now.

Amazing price if you get on sale like I did at countdown. Even the non-sale price is pretty good for the size.

I’m a month down and still about 2/3 full. So very long lasting.

Another stunner from garnier. This and the gel are up there in my top makeup removers/cleansers.

Smells incredible!

I was a little skeptical about a scented cleansing water that was meant to be for sensitive skin, however, this one is amazing and gentle! It did a great job at taking my makeup off at the end of the day, although I can't comment on its ability to remove waterproof makeup as it's not something I use. Also, the product did not leave an oily residue (something I was worried about with already oily skin) my skin was left feeling clean and refreshed. Will definitely continue to use!

Great addition to my regime

I was very skeptical about this product as my opinion of micellar waters in general was that they were a gimmick - they just look like water! However, I'm now a convert. The first time I used this I'd cleansed my skin the night before, and worn no makeup all day. Yet using the Garnier Micellar Water in Oil to still removed makeup that my other cleanser had clearly missed. I have sensitive skin, and am quite particular about the products I use. The water in oil did not cause any rash, or eczema. In fact, my skin has rarely ever felt so soft and smooth. The only negative is that I have had a small breakout this week (since using the Water in Oil). So although the instructions state that it does not require rinsing, I will be rinsing the oil off in future.

Tips: Make sure you shake the bottle before use, to mix the oil and water.

Best Micellar Yet!

I love micellar. It appeals to my lazy side. I take a mini bottle whenever I go away, and also to day trips with the my kids. It's just such a great and gentle cleanser, wipe and go!

I was intrigued by the concept of 'micellar in oil'. I only use an oil cleanser when I'm wearing a lot of makeup and plain ole micellar isn't up to the task. So could micellar-in-oil turn a 2-step process into a simple wipe and go process?

Well. Yes actually! I've been using this for about 10 days now, and it has left my face cleansed, makeup free and so soft after every use.

So you need to shake this before use to mix the oil and micellar water together. I swear there's some form of shimmer in the formula, and I absolutely love it - I think my skin looks really dewy and fresh after use and in my mind - it's the shimmer!

There's no real scent to this product which I prefer.

The bottle is huge, it'll last ages and it's such a great price.

Thanks BR, for introducing me to my new favourite cleanser!

Absolutely amazing!

I was very impressed with this product! It has made my skin super soft, smelling beautiful and has helped keep my skin clear and refreshed. I love the smell and even though its mixed with oil, it doesnt leave an oily residue on your face! In fact this is the softest I've felt my skin in a very long time! I would definitely recommend everyone give this product a try to see for themselves. You will not be disappointed one bit!

Tips: I used a cotton ball as that's all I had and it worked wonderfully so I can only imagine what a make up pad type product would be like. Definitely try it!

Garnier Micellar Water in Oil

Ive tried other micellar water's, no luck but this one is very good, I think it's because it's got the oil in it, helps to remove make-up alot better and more nourishing finish on your skin.

Did what it said !

Love this product and would definitely buy it. My skin feels absolutely amazing, it removed which was always stubborn my eye make up especially my water proof mascara. Did not leave any residue. I used cotton pads to remove the makeup and then with a warm wet facecloth gave my face a good wipe - and followed up with moisturizer. Having that oily base to remove my makeup especially the eye make up helped soften my skin. Will definitely be buying this in place of my usual cleanser.

Tips: Leave the cotton pad on for a couple minutes to allow the oily cleanser to do its thing on your eye make up. I used 2 cotton wool pads only. ( but then I only use bb cream and mascara andeyebrow pencil daily so my make up isn't heavy.)

A great and effective micellar water!

I really love using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil. It is an upgrade from the Micellar water from Garnier (which is already fantastic), with a bi-phase (oil and water) system to remove stubborn waterproof makeup.

I found this product to be really effective in removing waterproof mascara and lip stains. It hasn't caused any breakouts and I really enjoyed using it as a part of my daily routine.

The only possible downside is that this has a noticeable fragrance, which may cause reactions in people with allergies or sensitive skin.

I love how affordable this product is - it is often on special at the local pharmacy or grocery store.

Tips: Shake well before use. Although the product mentions "no water/rinsing needed", I find it is best to rinse with warm water after cleaning with a cotton pad as leaving the product on the skin may be quite dehydrating.

Nice upgrade from the original

I became a fan of the original Micellar water and have been using it for over the past year, maybe more. It wasn't until the beginning of this year I made the switch, it wasn't intentional but my cousin who also has a passion for makeup raved about the Micellar in oil.

It comes in the same shaped bottle but is a little more expensive.

When Im ready to remove my makeup I shake up the bottle, watching the oil & water try to merge together is fun, I get happy every time I need to shake the bottle. I soak 2 makeup pads and starting with my eye makeup I let it sit before wiping my makeup away. The oil helps dislodge any makeup that tries to stay on my face, I find the oil/micellar combo helps remove makeup in half the time it takes for the regular micellar to do its job. After Ive removed all my makeup, my skin looks and feels hydrated and fresh.

I will continue to purchase this, it is more than the regular Micellar water but dissolves makeup twice as fast and I use less.

Love it - does what it says it will

I have used a few makeup removers over the years and they have to be good at removing waterproof mascara. Couldn't find my other go to one so had to try something different instead. After browsing the shelves thought I would give this one a go. Must admit I was a bit sceptical as to whether it would be as good as my other one, and whether it would live up to the claims. I'm happy to say that yes it did live up to the claims and I love it. It's so nourishing, non greasy and you don't need to use much at all. It's now my go to and I highly recommend it. The size of the bottle is large so lasts for ages.

Tips: Shop around ... prices can vary up to $10. I also just use it around my eye area and then use a makeup remover cloth all over my face.
