Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

After hearing all the hype over the past year about micellar water I finally caved and gave this one a try. This was different to my usual cleansing routine (I usually use a cleansing oil to remove my makeup). On a simple makeup day it removed the surface layer of my makeup quite well, which after a double cleanse did leave my skin feeling clean. On a heavy makeup day this form of cleansing made removing my makeup quite a long process, having to use several small cotton rounds to remove my foundation and heavy mascara meant a lot of time pulling at my eyes to still have traces of both left over. I did find this product was great at refreshing my clean face in the morning or to get off lipstick and eye shadow with ease.

It doesn't leave an oily residue which is great and it is fragrance free which is great for sensitive skin. The smaller size bottle makes for easy travel and perfect for smaller makeup removing jobs. It does an effective job at refreshing a fresh face, removing small amounts/a light face of makeup but I will be sticking to a cleansing oil as it takes half the time with a better result.

I was in love the first time I used this product. The size of the bottle is good - enough for many uses. The product doesn't have any smell, which I love. It glides on my skin and the results on the makeup pad showed it had taken off the day's makeup. No tight feeling after use, makeup removed in a couple of takes and it doesn't pull against your skin as you are wiping it across your face. The take off is effortless and no scrubbing required. This is an extremely affordable product which delivers on all levels. I will definitely buy again. My skin felt smooth and refreshed afterwards - no dry patches. The lid has a bit of a longer lip which is fabulous as there is no need to use finger nails or have them ripped off trying to open.

I love this product for removing my medium coverage everyday makeup. Super quick and easy with minimal scrubbing. I find that this is much less effective on more stubborn full coverage makeup but great for everyday use. My skin can be quite sensitive but have had no problems with this. I love how clean and soft my skin feels after a few quick swipes. Perfect that they now sell a travel size as it is a bit too big for travelling.

I am now a big fan of this cleanser. I love the fact that It doesn't need to be rinsed off, which also makes it super fast to do if you have a busy life and don't have half an hour to stand about scrubbing your face. It is really gentle on my skin, I normally get a reaction to quite a few face products but not this one. There was a little sensitivity around my eyes for the first few uses but I think my skin has adjusted to the new product really well. I find it is best for removing foundation, eye shadow and lipstick but It doesn't do a very good job with eyeliner and mascara. But that could just be put down to it being a gentle product and my eyeliner tends to get pretty heavy duty. I can see the bottle lasting me quite a while, definitely value for money. I currently use it twice a day and it doesn't leave me greasy or dried out which is fantastic.

I love how when I come home after a night out instead of doing my whole cleaning routine I can use this. It's like the lazy girls dream to removing makeup and making my face feel a little fresher.

It does a fairly good job and definitely fills the responsibilities in it's demanding role. It gets most of my makeup up off, not so much mascara which is of course water proof.

It has no fragrance and as I have sensitive skin it's perfect for me too. My skin isn't left irritated or itchy, it doesn't burn or tighten you skin either like some makeup removers and wipes do. It comes off in one wipe.

I will still stick to my daily morning and night cleansing routine but this is just perfect for 'missed a bit' or 'I can't be bothered with routine right now'.

This is a refreshing light cleanser which leaves your skin feeling soft after use, I liked to use this in the morning for a lighter cleanse which prepped my skin for my make up. Although I only used a couple of times at night it did remove my make up well.

The Micellar cleansing water does a great job at making even sensitive skin feel refreshed after a night out or day at the gym. I found it easy to use with a non-intensive smell (perfume free). It cleaned my face and lips easily but wasn't strong enough to move heavy duty eye makeup. My face is usually sensitive and I did not have a reaction to the cleansing water. Colour free and appearance of the bottle are both positives. I enjoyed the 125ml sized bottle as I could carry it round in my handbag if I needed to remove and then reapply lipstick during a night out. It was great not having to rinse my face afterwards and I would use this product again.

I found this product really light, refreshing and did what it said it would. As I have sensitive eyes I'm careful with what products I use around my eyes but I found this to be really light and suits sensitive skin. It feels exactly like putting water on your eyes
