Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I had been eyeing this product up for ages, after hearing so much about it and was beyond excited to trial this. Like a lot of other popular items, I wondered if it would live up to the hype. IT DID OMG IT DID. This product has literally changed the way I cleanse my face. The first time I used this, I had already washed my face with water, but holey moley I was surprised at the amount of dirt there was left on the cotton pad. I was astounded that all this dirt was blocked in my pores, after I had washed my face. I also have very sensitive skin, so was unsure whether this would sting or cause redness. Much to my delight, no reaction at all, no redness, itchiness, stinging- nada. It left my skin feeling refreshed, cleansed and hydrated, as a cleanser should. It didn't dry out my skin (like a lot of other cleaners do to my skin) or make it feel tight. Once it dried, my skin felt really smooth! Because it says you don't need to wash it off, I thought my skin would feel sticky or it would feel heavy, because there was still product left on it. But it didn’t! My skin felt so much better. I was also surprised that you don’t need any rubbing scrubbing to work this into the skin- it’s as simple as putting a small amount on to a cotton pad and wiping the face. After using this for the past week, my skin has gotten clearer and it looks brighter. My friends have commented on it, saying how clear it looks and how it glows. It’s also become smoother and my skin has become less dry and my redness has decreased. I have also used this to take my make up off, and it works amazingly. Takes my all my make up (especially my mascara) off effortlessly and doesn’t smudge too much. I also suspected that the cleanser would have some sort of scent, but it doesn't! It smells like nothing, which was pretty surprising to me. I thought this was a good thing, as some cleansers can have a chemical/acid smell which can be unpleasant. The texture is very thin and it is clear- it looks just like water! It makes it really easy to apply, and the application doesn’t come on unevenly which I love! I would definitely pay for this product. The retail price of $12.99 is almost cheap if you ask me! The bottle is HUGE (400mL is heaps) and you only need the tiniest amount to cleanse the whole face, so it will go a long way. I really like the packaging! I think the white and pink with the colourless/clear theme is really clean and simple and it displays well. The bottle is really easy to grip and the lid is really easy to open and close. The hole is a good size to distribute the product- not too small or too large. Overall, I honestly love this product. It is now part of my skincare routine, and I will continue to use this until I squeeze the last drop out. It does everything it says it does and I have nothing bad to say about it. My skin is thanking Garnier for this God sent. GO BUY THIS you won’t regret it!

This is such an easy product to use - doesn't make taking off your makeup such a chore ! All you need is a couple of cotton pads and it gently removes your makeup. It does take a couple of attempts to remove mascara and eyeliner but hands down it is the best makeup remover I've ever used. It is very affordable and convenient that it is available at supermarkets (if it hasn't sold out!) Love the simple design of the packaging.

I have been looking forward to this product being released for so long and I have not been disappointed! I used this product on some nights out when I have been too lazy to wash my face and it has removed all my makeup, mascara including which is so good! First of all it isn't scented so really good for sensitive skin which is a bonus. I also love the size of the product and the price, you will easily get the 200 uses of this and for 12.99 it's such a bargain and honestly does what it says it will! This is also amazing to use after you have washed your face in the morning or at night just for an extra refresher! This product is so worth the hype I recommend it to everyone

I was so excited to trail this after reading rave reviews about it. I used some today, and I have to say it is good, super effective with removing makeup- I had barely any left on my skin. It left my skin feeling great and refreshed, but not significantly softer. It has a nice scent, nice packaging; I just don't think it is thaaat different to other makeup removers, but it is really good nevertheless!

Magic water?! Micellar water! Im intrigued by this stuff, ive seen so many you tubers rave about it so cant wait to try it. Im Quite excited about the size of bottle- 400 mls and The recommended amount to use is half a teaspoon so thats a lot of uses in this bottle! Over 200 they say on the info card that came with the package.

I knew the best way to trial this was to wear full make up and Benefits They're Real mascara to fully test this miracle water out.

I have been using this for a week now and am pleasantly surprised at its ability to take EVERYTHING off my face without scrubbing or harsh rubbing, including the almighty mascara! I will admit however that it took 3-4 cotton pads to get all the makeup off. Thats the only downfall, it chews through the cotton pads !

It leaves the skin really squeaky clean which is a bonus, something i couldnt get with ordinary cleaners

Will definitely re purchase when this bottle is empty!! Love love love

I have been waiting to get my hands on this product and finally I have and I was not disappointed! It made my skin feel amazing and not only that it took off all my makeup at the end of the day including my waterproof masacra. All I can say is that this is AMAZING!! I have been using this product for around a week and have found my skin felt more hydrated and smooth and actually does what it says it will do. I would recommend this to anyone who has sensitve skin like myself as this is gentle on your skin. It is also a generous sized bottle which is a plus!!

This product is so amazing I have been using it for 5 days to take off my make up and it removes it effortlessly I find it has also cleared up my blemishes. I have used this product everyday morning and night for 5 days and it still looks brand new so I believe I will get more than 200 uses. I would recommend this products to anyone and everyone at such a amazing price for such a amazing product you can't go wrong. !

I was really excited to try this as I didn't know whether it would be able to remove makeup and still be as light as and watery as it looks! But it lives up to the test! It removes makeup well, and I love using it in the mornings to remove the little bits of makeup I've missed the night before. Best part, is that it leaves no oily residue on your face like wipes do! I can easily see this becoming part of my daily routine.

I have been using this morning and night as well as 1/2 hour before applying my makeup. To be honest I was not expecting alot from this as I have used Garnier skincare prducts in the past and my skin would react to it . . . but wanted to see what all the hype was with this item. So each morning I would soak a makeup round in the cleansing water and gently apply over the face, eyes, lips and down the neck leave to dry before applying my moisturiser and lip balm and instantly my skin feels fresh and clean. I apply a small amount about 1/2 hour before applying my makeup and I have noticed my makeup application has improved slightly as it has more smooth, clean bare canvas for products to be applied to. But the thing I love the most with this is at night time when removing my makeup . . . I soak a couple of makeup rounds in the cleansing water, wipe one round over eyes and the other over the rest of the face. I wear Estee Lauder DW foundation and alot of waterproof products and I find using the cleansing water first before using my clarisonic and my expensive Michael Todd cleanser helps remove about 70% of the built on products so leaves less work for the other items which is awesome because then I save $$. This is an amazing product and Garnier deserves a pat on the back for this. for the amount you get and for the results you get the RRP $12.99 is an absoulte steal.

I can't say enough good things about this! I bought it as soon as it came out and have been using it since. I swear it's magic, it melts off all my makeup so quickly, even my waterproof eye makeup. i dont think I could ever go back to using makeup remover wipes. This doesn't sting my sensitive eyes like a lot of other makeup removers too. It's pretty affordable for how much you get as well and it's usually on sale at countdown.
