holy grail

Sooo i brought this about 3 months ago only because it was something different and i love buying new things. I put it on my face every morning and night after ive washed my face. I let it dry and put moisturiser on then do my face. I have not had a single breakout since i started using it. I love it. Its amazing and it lasts sooo long.

This broke me out so bad :( It's been roughly 7 weeks give or take and the blemishes are still there!!! I have a full bottle here if you want it. It's just been sitting on the bathroom vanity collecting dust lol.

Great make up remover

It really does remove makeup like it says it does, but for my dry skin if I have to redo something more than once I dry out! Was experimenting with different eyeshadow looks and after the third trial it stung like mad and I had really dry eyes for days!

Tips: Limit use!

Soothing on tired eyes

It's really astounding to me how little makeup my cleanser actually removes. Before this product I would have easily said 100%. After? Maybe 80% at best., This stuff really does remove a buttload of residual makeup and dirt and leaves my skin feeling so refreshed. It's also terrific at removing eye makeup and I find it really soothes tired itchy eyes, so I tend to use it after long days of reading or on the computer. Feels very pampering.

Overrated

I didn't like this micellar water. It felt oily and left a residue in my eyes when I tried to use it to remove eye makeup (which it didn't remove). My vision was blurry for a few minutes until I blinked all the product out. The bottle is bigger than other brands and the price is cheaper so I can see the attraction but I would rather use a regular cleanser than this rubbish. The Loreal version is much better quality and is not oily.

Tips: There are heaps of other brands available now- I'd start with one of those.

Worked wonderfully

I tried the Garnier Micellar water after hearing all the hype and really thought it lived up to the expectation. I was initially worried it would sting or be quite oily in my eyes but this was not the case. It removed all my eye makeup so quickly and easily and soothed the skin around my nose too! Will definitely keep using this as it is so handy for taking off my eye makeup once home from work, before cleansing my whole face at bedtime.

Tips: Use with cotton pads when removing eye makeup

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

It is my Holy Grail to remove makeup instantly, totally love this product. It does what is says. It is quick and easy to use, simply by soaking a cotton pad and gently swipe off face.

Tips: I tend to leave a soak cotton pad for about 5-10 seconds on the eye area and gently swipe off eyeshadows and waterproof mascara. Not only do I use it remove makeup, I find it cooling and refreshing if I my eyes are puffing by soaking a clean cotton pad and leave it on for 1-5 minutes.

Micellar

There was so much hype around this product before it came to New Zealand. When my Secret Santa from last year added it to her wishlist, I sourced a way to get it here for her...and snuck in a couple for me.

The packaging is relatively simple, it's clear to show that the product is clear as well, and has a cute pink lid. It doesn't wow me, but it's functional. The product itself feels slightly greasier than just regular water. I got a bit worried after reading reviews that it might break me out. And unfortunately using it just as a remover and not following it up with anything, that's what happened. It was like it left a slightly oily layer on my skin - and while I slept my skin went to town...and broke out.

BUT! I love it as a gentle make up remover - it removes the most stubborn eye make up, it takes recently applied foundation off quickly and it even gets my long last lipstick off without making my lips feel awful. Its just that I have to follow up with something to get that layer off my skin, the 10 0 6 toner I use does the trick with a quick sweep.

I don't know if I will repurchase after I use mine up, the main use for me is eye make up remover and I would like to try another one before making my mind up. Will follow up when I do that.

Worked Wonders

I lucked out and found a bottle of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water at my local New World. Which I had been waiting weeks for it to be restocked and I really hoped it wasn't going to let me down after such a long wait as I heard this product had caused a lot of people to break out.

After the first use of this product I was amazed by how much make up it took off but also shocked at how much make up I had been previously leaving on my skin when using other make up removers. I used this product with a cotton make up remover pad. I have been using this product regularly to remove my make up since purchasing and will continue to use it until I run out. I will be definitely be repurchasing as I found it even removed water proof mascara.

One con of this product is that I found the first time I used it my skin felt a little dry the next day so I had to make sure I used moisturiser.

To sum up my review I really enjoyed this product and it definitely didn't let me down with all the hype about it.

Tips: Use this product with a make up remover pad but be sure to soak the pad to get all the product off your face. You may need to go over your face twice to ensure the make up has been completely removed. Ensure you use your moisturiser afterwards.

The best micellar water out there!

I love this stuff! I originally tried the Bioderma Micellar Water and this is EXACTLY the same for a much more wallet friendly price. It removes ALMOST all traces of makeup on my skin. While it is gentle and non-stripping on my skin, I knocked off one point because I find it's too gentle to remove my waterproof mascara (Maybelline Volum Colossal), leaving me with uncomfortable lashes and makeup residue if I don't take additional steps to remove it. It is surprisingly good at removing liquid lipsticks, though!

Tips: I usually dissolve stubborn eye makeup with some baby oil before using this to wipe off all remaining makeup and residue. This leaves my face free of makeup and ready for the next step in my routine (facewash!) I also find it conditions my lashes and leaves them in a better state than when I use the Micellar Water alone.

Broke me out :(

I wanted to love this product so much because of all the hype but it broke me out like crazy, I was so upset about this! But it did do such an incredible job at taking my makeup off and works well as a spot cleaner for brushes too. I also found that this product works wonders at taking makeup stains out of clothes lol!

Tips: Damp a cotton pad with product and use circular motions to remove makeup
