I love that this is cruelty free! It has a nice light fragrance and is really good at removing makeup, but not so good at removing mascara. The brightening vitamin c sounds great, however I haven't noticed any brightening affects. But maybe I just haven't been using it long enough to see the effects. I love that it leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean and not dry at all. It's great for those times you're feeling lazy or are in a rush and don't have time to wash your face properly! It's also great value for money so you can't go wrong!

Good for removing non stubborn makeup
Tips: Might pay to use an eye makeup remover alongside this as it's not so great removing mascara.

A micellar water like many other micellar waters
I think the yellow colour is a bit off-putting - yellow often means citric kind of ingredients which are irritating. BUT this ingredient list is actually pretty good (apart from the fragrance). It's got castor oil which is cool! I wear heavy makeup and found this removed it really easily and thoroughly - just like any micellar would, I would say. Maybe a bit less irritating than others. This one is just a bit more expensive for only 400ml.
Tips: I use a microfiber cloth with this micellar water before washing my face with the Dove sensitive bar.

Best micellar water
This vitamin c micellar water is amazing my skin was dull and uneven in color. I use for a week to test it properly and to see better results. I can say that the vitamin c helped brighten my skin and even my skin tone was more even. my face looked so fresh and clear. I wasn't as pale and doll I had a nice warm glow to my skin. The micellar water made my skin clear up and it felt so clean and I looked so refreshed after using it. Its as if I just did a whole skin care routine. This helped remove dirt and makeup really well it was so easy to use and my makeup came off just like that I didn't breakout once while using this to remove my makeup because it got everything off. This vitamin c micellar water smells amazing it really does the job and cleans the skin remove oils and dirt leaving you with a bright glow.
Tips: When taking off your makeup with the vitamin c micellar water make sure to soak the makeup pad to get the best results and after taking off your makeup apply once more to leave your skin extra clean and glowing.

The best micellar water!
I love this micellar water. My favourite way to use it is instead of cleanser in the morning, which is probably a little controversial in the skincare community. I've noticed my skin looks better if I only rinse my face with water in the morning, but it never feels right to apply other skincare products after just rinsing with water. This micellar water is exactly what I needed to get a more clean feeling without having to do a full cleanse. It's also effective at removing the surface layer of makeup or sunscreen and makes cleansing so much easier at the end of the day. It also works as a lazy cleanse when you're too tired to do a full skincare routine at night, so I love the convenience of it.
It doesn't leave skin feeling stripped which I've experienced with a couple of other micellar waters I've tried in the past. It also leaves skin looking even in comparison with other products that have made my skin look patchy, but I don't notice significant brightening immediately after use. However, I'm a massive fan of vitamin c in skincare so I appreciate this ingredient even if its effects aren't visible straight away.
The only negative aspect of this micellar water is that it has a fragrance that reminds me of kitchen cleaning sprays. The fragrance made me a little wary that it would be too harsh, but I've used it on the eye area to remove mascara and it didn't cause any irritation. I think this would be suitable for some people with sensitive skin, but if you have reactions to fragrance it would be best to avoid it.
Overall this is a gentle yet effective product and has been a great addition to my skincare routine.
Tips: If you're ever feeling too tired to do a full skincare routine at night, use this to quickly cleanse and remove makeup, then pop on some moisturiser.

The original micellar water by Garnier is a go-to for me, and so I was excited to receive this product from Beauty Review to review. This micellar water is at least equally as good at removing makeup without irritation, maybe better. I don't use waterproof makeup much so I can't speak to that but for my everyday light makeup this does the job perfectly well. I'm not so sure that it removes everything "in one gesture" though, but it's not a biggie. I normally rinse of my micellar water but for the purposes of this review I left it on for a few hours and I can confirm that it caused no redness or irritation to my sensitive skin :) I like the added benefit of vitamin C. My skin did look glowy with it on, to be fair I have already been using vitamin c in my skin routine for months but none the less it felt good on my skin.
The negative for me is the fragrance. Aside from the fact that I would feel more confident leaving it on my skin if it was fragrance free, the fragrance that they used is just not nice. The only use for fragrance is the idea that consumers enjoy the product more if it smells good, but it would be a better user experience if it had no fragrance at all. The fragrance smells distinctly like the orange scent you get in harsh cleaning products like all-purpose disinfectants or toilet cleaner. Rather off-putting, when you are putting it on your face. I was surprised to find that the product itself is actually very gentle on my skin. Take away the fragrance and I would definitely purchase it ahead of the regular one.
