Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

My first reaction was the generous size of this product, and its RRP. The sparkling "water" look was slightly bewildering and I wondered if some slight colour may be a good idea since a small child could take this for a bottle of drinking water. The enclosed advertising for the product is excellent, every aspect clearly explained an d displayed and all Q&As; possible are answered. The cleansing water does what it says - removes make-up, cleanses and soothes. My skin felt refreshed and clear, with an "alive" glow. I found that it was unusual not to "wash off" after cleansing, but of course this is a toner/cleanser combined. Make-up applied afterwards was unaffected, but I wondered whether to use night cream or otherwise. Yes, a great innovation, economical and effective product, I hope Garnier bring out smaller sizes for portability as so many users are people on the move.

I was not convinced when I received this product that it was actually going to do what it said it was, but after a few days of using it I will be sticking with it and ditching my old cleanser! Like the bottle says you don't need to scrub to get your make up off, and it left my face feeling really refreshed and clean without leaving it dry! My skin is pretty sensitive and it didn't do anything to aggregate this either :)

I hadn't heard of this product before so I'm super stoked I got to trial this and find out about it

Affordable and good value for money as the amount needed is minimal compared to alot of other cleansers .Having only trialled this for a short time have not noticed and significant differences in my skin condition. It seems to be gentle yet effective . Easily removes makeup and leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated. No tight feeling after cleansing or leave your skin feeling greasy. Transparent bottle so no guessing how much is left in the bottle.The fragrance is very light and pleasant smelling. Great that it will be easily available in supermarket.

So, we were all a little skeptical, right? Whoa. I couldn't wait to trial this, and safe to say I was impressed!

Did pretty much exactly what it said. Only had to rub a bit harder on lipstick and eyebrows also I don't think mine would last 200 applications. I have already recommended to everyone though, it is a great product, will definitely stay in my life.

I'm the kind of person that's super obsessed with skincare. I never miss taking my make up off in the evening. I've tried many types of make up removal products from oils to balms and make up remover wipes. I've heard of micellar water before but never had the opportunity to try it til now.

First of all the packaging is very straight forward, as with any other Garnier products. The lid dispenses enough product, not too much and too little which I really appreciate.

It looks like water and doesn't smell much like anything. There are very few ingredients and it's unscented which makes me think this will be fine on sensitive skin. I have dry cheeks, an oily t-zone and sometimes, my skin reacts to certain products but this was fine. It didn't irritate my skin whatsoever.

Unlike with makeup remover wipes, there is no need to scrub your skin to get foundation off. I was very impressed by how fast it took everything off, it was basically effortless and I was wearing heavy duty full coverage foundation when I first tried this.

I was expecting this to dry out my skin but it hasn't at all. In fact, my skin didn't feel as "thirsty" as it would if I had used a different cleanser.

I do think that the 200 use claim is only true if you use larger and good quality cotton pads. I also find that the "no rub" claim wasn't necessarily true for things like waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It does take it off much easier than a make up remover wipe though. All you have to do is drench a cotton pad, leave it on your eye for a few seconds and it does the job.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this product. I'm so glad Garnier has come out with a micellar cleanser water that is inexpensive and easily accessed by many people. I highly recommend this and I will definitely purchase more when I run out.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a Garnier Water - but first of all when this arrived I was impressed at the full size of the bottle! I wear minimal/natural makeup, (primer, powder, blush, shadows, mascara) and this comes off in 2 cotton pads worth of cleanser. It's light and fresh feeling, great for removing everything before bed. My skin can be either oily or dry, but using this my skin didn't react badly at all.

Love this product! Only a tiny wee bit on a pad removed most of my makeup on one try! Didn't have to wipe or scrub my skin very hard, even for my mascara panda bear marks.

Only annoyance I have is the size, being much too big to even think about putting it into make up bag.

Overall, fantastic product! I have sensitive dry skin usually, and found that it didn't react or sting whatsoever! Will definitely recommend :)

i was sceptical,a water cleanser? wow it does exactly what it says.my skin felt great after the first use.it removed all my make up,my skin felt smooth and soft.I did wonder if it was just washing off so I had a no make-up just a moisturizer day.i used first thing in the morning,then at night. I was astounded.the removal pad was really dirty.the amount of grime from just one day.wow wow.love it.

Twenty years ago I started using Shiseido oil free cleansing water and loved it, but it was very pricey, so I hoped this product would be a modern version.

My daughter had purchased the Garnier Micellar cleansing water in Australia, and found it was great for her teenage skin. I have very fair English skin (50 yrs old) and find a lot of wipes etc. cause a burning sensation on my skin, so I am reasonably careful in what I use.

This product was great, it left my skin feeling clean and no stinging or burning. I use Revlon Colourstay foundation and it did remove that, but required about three goes round. Mascara not so easy to remove, but it did a good job.

I remove my makeup every night before bed, so this was a great product to wake up my skin in the morning.

I would certainly use again, especially for my no makeup days, and the BIG size means that I can share it with my girls.

I LOVE Garnier Micellar cleaning water, where has it been all my life? It's so simply and straight forward to use and it's super gentle on your skin.

The first time I saw the bottle/packaging I did think it was very plain jane and boring but since using the product I have realised that the packaging is exactly like the product simple but oh so effective! The lid clips on snuggly and I have no concerns about it tipping over and spilling once the lid is closed, also the flip lid means you don't have to muck around screwing & unscrewing making the whole process much easier.

The product itself, well there's not a lot to say about it in terms of look or smell - it looks like water and there is no real smell that I have noticed either. Now this product claims to be amazing, removing make-up, cleansing and leaving your skin soothed. I wanted to believe the claims but to be honest I was a little skeptical, I mean sometimes even eye make-up remover has a hard time doing its job right? How could one product do multiple jobs AND do them well? The first night I was amazed (and slightly grossed out at the manly looking cotton pads!) at how effective a job the Micellar cleansing water did. It left my skin feeling wonderful and completely make-up free, plus it to got rid of my eye make-up without me having to rub or scrub the area. I did wonder if it was simply a fluke, if my make-up had been lighter or worn off more that day so I kept using it and after about a week of using it every night and most mornings I still feel the same - totally loving this product and the fact that it does what it says it will. My skin feels better than it has for a long time and I haven't had a breakout from my make-up since using this product (I was prone to getting them before). I am a contact lens wearer and am always a little cautious of the products I use on or around my eyes in case they cause irritation, so far the Micellar cleansing water hasn't caused any kind of irritation to my eyes. I can't wait for this product to be released in shops and think that the price is very reasonable, in fact I was expecting it to be more expensive than it is listed above. I've already recommended this product to several people who are very excited to give it a try.
