Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Wow! What can I say, I've never been so excited about a product before! And this little (well it's a whopping 400ml) has lived up to its hype and expectation. I am thoroughly happy with this product! Just soaking a cotton pad with this magic water and it swipes away any waterproof mascara or tinted long lasting lipstick! And the best thing is that it doesn't sting my eyes or leave oily residue on my face. I can't get over how lightweight and clean it feels and the texture is just like water. It has a faint perfume smelly but nothing overpowering or unpleasant. I'm just absolutely blown away by how good this product is at removing my makeup. Compared with the famous Bioderma, this product definitely is a strong contender, and it surely wins the price factor. I will be happily using this forever until they make something even better!

I was excited but nervous to be reviewing this product, as previous garnier products have not gone well with my skin.. However my faith has been restored by the micellar water!

I used this to remove my make up at night when I couldn't really be bothered washing my face. I used small amounts of the product on cotton pads to wipe my make up off. The product was amazing at removing my foundation, and especially good for taking of eye make up such as mascara. I would definitely recommend using it!

I have extremely temperamental skin that likes to randomly react to products, so the fact that this caused no breakouts or reactions was amazing for me!

So ill start by saying I have super duper sensitive skin so am always hesitant to try new facial products, but when this cleansing water that has already been raved about and hadnt yet been released in nz was offered, how could i turn my nose at the opportunity? Besides it does say suitable for all skin types. When i received this gem, i had a "cake face day" so great opportunity to put it to the test!. Now anyone who is a wearer of double wear know that that foundation sticks! well the results double wear 0-cleansing water 1. With one wipe double wear was no more. eyebrows didnt stand a chance either! Though it took another round of cleaning to get rid of all remnants of make up, the cleansing water did a brilliant job. Around the eyes caused a bit of sting but nothing a gentle hand cant get around. After use, my skin felt like it was breathing again and also moisturized. And no allergic reactions! not a single dot of a rash popped up. very happy I will be purchasing this again me thinks!

I have to admit I'm quite surprised that this works as well as it does! I did as it directs and soaked a bit onto a cotton pad and applied to my face. It definitely removes make up, including eye make up; however I did have to use about 5 pads to do so though that's not really surprising. I also gave it a go in the morning before applying the daily face and was a bit surprised at the dirt that was coming off. I do still feel like I need a cleanse after using it still as I don't feel entirely clean from it alone. My skin doesn't feel dry after using it like it promised. I love it for a quick make up removal when I can't be bothered with a full face wash. The bottle is great to use and a great size. There's no smell to the actual liquid but I did find that once it dries there's a strange sort of musty smell which I really cannot stand, but then I have K9 smell...so it could just be me...

I've been using this as a makeup remover for about a year now, and I just keep repurchasing it every time I run out.

This does a great job of removing my heavy eye makeup (usually liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow and waterproof mascara) without excessive rubbing or irritation. I find one soaked cotton pad will take off my eyes and then I use a second one to take off the rest of my makeup, otherwise I just end up smearing black all over my face.

I must admit, I tend to just use this as a precleanse as I just wouldn't feel completely clean without finishing off with my usual cream cleanser. On nights when I'm drunk or just too tired, I will just use this alone to quickly whip my makeup off before falling into bed.

I haven't found this to be drying, although I do tend to follow up with my normal serum and night cream routine afterwards.

I'm a big fan. It's cheap, easily bought from the supermarket, simple to use and does the job well.

When I got chosen for this review I thought "oh yeah....right, lets see this product truely cleans my face and remove water proof mascara!" It arrived very quickly as products always do from BR. I really like its simple look. Noting too showy just a nice fresh looking packaging. I tried it immediately! Love that there is no smell, it easily soaked the cotton pad. Then came the best bit of all...it very easily removed ALL OF MY MAKEUP just as it promised! Water proof mascara, lip stick and foundation all removed. It took a couple of go overs for mascara, but I expect that. My skin felt lovely after using it. Fresh and clean. No reaction after a few days either which is great! My 11 year old daughter has also used it, no reaction for her, and she wants her own bottle. I will definitely continue to use this, I am sold! Only negative for me is size of bottle, but thats minor.

I had heard alot about this product both good and bad things so when I got an offer to trial it I decided to take the chance and see for myself! Overall the product was okay. It did remove makeuop without needing and additional water or oil based remover so it was simple in the sense where you just need this one product. However I feel it was quite drying on my skin so definately moisturise after use! Price wise the product is a decent size for the price you would pay. The small size would last you quite awhile so good value for money overall.

For now i willprobably just stuck to my usual MAC remover.

I've seen this product all over Instagram in the recent months and have wanted to try it so badly. I found that even with a full face of make up including waterproof mascara and brow products (which normally doesn't come off with make up wipes or standard make up remover) came off straight away without any rubbing! My skin also felt really moisturised afterwards as well. I even got my sister and friend to try it and both of them were amazing at our good it is and have just purchased some bottles themselves! Definite 10/10

This product certainly lived up to my expectations. I brought this to remove my makeup and to save time. I'm one of those girls who loves to apply makeup but dreads removing it at the end of the day. I am in love with this.

It removes my makeup so well, It lasts a long time, it is inexpensive and it does not dry out my skin. I have had no bad side effects from this and its super easy to use. Its a must have in my skin care routine.

I have been waiting a while before I typed my thoughts on this one, I wanted to really give this a good trial before voicing my opinion.

Firstly, I purchased this from the Supermarket on special for about $9. I waited until most of the hype was over and I'm glad, I don't like frantically trying to search down a product along with thousands of other people!

I'm pretty much at the end of my first bottle, and I have to say, I'm just not that impressed.

They say it's good for 200+ uses etc on the bottle -what?! I imagine that is only true if all you wore was mascara! I go through at LEAST 8 soaked cotton pads to remove my makeup, and I wouldn't say I wore heavy coverage. I'm not so keen on the feel of my skin afterwards, it just doesn't leave a nice 'clean' feeling, so I find I'm still reaching for another cleanser to finish the job. I have also noticed that it does irritate my skin too, leaving it red and blotchy, as well as a bit itchy.

All in all, I really don't like the product or the results and I won't repurchase.
