Garnier Micellar Water Vitamin C

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!

Overall, I found this micellar water really nice to use. First of all, it has a lovely, clean smell! I found it removed my makeup quite easily, particularly mascara, as that is what I wear most of. It says there is no rinsing required after using the product, but I found it left a slightly sticky feel on my skin for a while afterwards, so I still washed my face separately. It wasn't an oily product, which some makeup removers can be, so that was really nice, and there was no shaking required to mix any of the product. It also didn't sting at all, especially when removing eye makeup, which was great. Overall, a nice and effective product to use, but I would always wash my face after using it.

I love using micellar water because I find it's a much nicer cleanser on my sensitive skin. It allows me to easily clean by gently wiping and does not sting as much as other cleansers. The difference between this micellar water and Garnier's usual is the Vitamin C - which helps brighten the skin. I love double duty skincare, so this was great. I didn't feel like it made much difference on the evenness of my tone, but did notice some brightening. However, it also stings a little bit more, perhaps due to the Vitamin C, so it's not my preferred choice for my next bottle I think. Overall, love micellar water, and love the idea of Vitamin C adding to the mix, but I did find the formula a bit stinging.

This micellar water carries vitamin c which is amazing to help brighten your skin while also adding in anti gaining benefits and helping with redness.

It has a light citrus smell which I found quite refreshing and not too strong. I have found some micellar waters can be quite drying to my skin and leave it feeling tight after using. I didn’t have this issue at all. In fact my skin felt as if I had already applied my moisturiser after using and I hadn't. I have quite sensitive skin that can be prone to redness after using products, I didn’t get any redness from this product.

I love that it does a good job of cleaning your face with cotton pads should you not feel like fully washing your face or are in a hurry.

Overall would recommend to try this micellar water should you find others to be too harsh and drying for your skin.

Usually I'm pretty lazy about washing my face, limiting it to when I'm in the shower. Trialing this product was a great motivator to wash my face every morning and night (well, almost!). Any time I couldn't be bothered, I'd remember it would take me literally about 10 seconds - 5 to put the micellar water on the face pad, 5 to wipe it round my face.

As for how my face appreciated the care... I have one recurring pimple that came back while I was using it and I also developed a pimple on my lip - unusual and ouch! So I don't think it was cleaning as thoroughly as my usual, more rigorous, cleansers.

However I have sensitive skin and didn't react to this product, so that was awesome. I also loved how easy it is to open the bottle and get the product out, but without being at risk of it leaking.

So what is my overall verdict? While I'm not going to throw away my current cleanser, I am going to keep this one next to my toothbrush for those nights when I'm tempted to skip washing my face. I can see this as an easy way to get myself into great skincare habits.

I received this as part of a beauty trial and was really excited to try it as I love Vitamin C products for brightening my complexion. I've been using it in the evenings before bed and have also used it ahead of sleeping masks to see how it performs with other products.

It came in a large bottle, with the standard flip-open top. Very easy to use and doesn't leak, but I'm not sure I would rely on it staying closed if I were travelling.

The first morning (after using it the night before, with no sleeping mask) my skin was noticeably clearer and brighter, and no new blemishes. I continued using this without sleeping masks for a few nights, and didn't have any continued brightening but my skin still remained mostly clear barring a couple of hormonal acne spots.

I tried this with sleeping masks - specifically the Glow Recipe Watermelon mask and the Drunk Elephant T.L.C Framboos Glycolic Night Serum with the Drunk Elephant F-Balm ElectroLyte Waterfacial Masque - and it worked well with these also. My masks went on smoothly and didn't have any other unwanted reactions.

Overall I definitely have enjoyed using the Micellar Water and will purchase it again when I have run out. I would also like to see if in a variety of sizes in case I needed a smaller one for travelling or in my makeup bag while out and about.

I've been using the Garnier Micellar Vitamin C Cleansing Water for a couple of weeks, and so far I'm impressed!

I'm still trying to learn about different skincare ingredients and what their benefits are, so I didn't really know anything about Vitamin C and its uses in skincare. To be honest I didn't think a micellar water would be able to live up to its skin-brightening claims. Then I tried it, and after a week or so I started noticing how NICE my skin looks. When I take my makeup off using this product, my skin looks naturally radiant - not dry, not oily, just healthy and glowy in the best way. Thankfully I've also noticed that it doesn't irritate my eyelids like many other cleansers do. If you have sensitive skin and are prone to eczema, I'd recommend trying this one out because it's truly very gentle.

While I was impressed with the product, I can't quite give it 5 stars because it claims to remove makeup without any rubbing required... but if you're like me and enjoy wearing full-glam eye looks, you'll know that you can't simply glide a cotton pad over your face once and have all your makeup instantly slide right off! Don't get me wrong, it's good at removing makeup but it's not quite the magical one-step solution it claims to be.

You know what's missing from normal Micellar water? FRAGRANCE!

You really get a full bodied experience here, it feels like you're using a product rather than just wiping water over your face, which I love.

This is refreshing and light and feels wonderfully cooling. It removes makeup and grime easily and comes in a great sized bottle!

It definitely brightens the skin.

I'm loving this new twist on micellar!
