Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

First of all, thank you BR for this trial! The bottle is so big it would probably last me ages! I havent been using make up because Im always exhausted from shifts and couldnt be bothered double cleansing everytime I come home from work which would be around midnight. When I got this trial oppurtunity I jumped into the chance to wear make up again and see if the product really works. And Im really happy to say that it took all traces of my make up without me having to rub my face! All I had to do was gently swipe the cotton all over my face and it took even my eyeliner which is always a challenge to remove. I had no irritation or redness after which made me so happy! I cant rave about this enough!

I was so excited when I got the chance to trial this product, I had heard so much hype about it and thought that it could solve all my problems - the biggest one being that I didn't want to pay so much for the BioDerma bottles!

I was really surprised at the size of the bottle, and the fact that it said that there is enough in there for 200 applications. I thought that this meant that the entire bottle would last me for 200 days - one application per day but unfortunately this isn't the case.

As for the product itself its just a fine make up remover, to be completely honest its definitely no better, and also no worse than any others that I've tried in the past. When I went to use it, aka one application on a cotton pad, I swiped it across my eye and I was disappointed with the amount of product that it took off. I then learnt that you needed to hold it down for 5 seconds and then wipe to get all the product off, a but annoying but i could deal with it.

I can say that I think that I'll be sticking to my neutrogena eye makeup remover, but will still use this for light makeup - definitely nothing waterproof!

And I would say that you would probably need 4-5 applications to remove all the makeup off your face entirely.

Garnier has impressed me this time with this cleansing water, its packaging is simple, very flexible , meaning less waste in landfills, on a downside the lid, has the ability to be opened in transit, or in yor bag if you are going away. The product has a water type appearance, is clear with a watery touch, one could almost mistake it for water as such, no smell no perfume and no residual feel on your hands or face, on application the product removes impurities from skin without having the need to rinse off, it did have some trouble with makeup but that was easily dealt with by using a second application, It certainly left my skin feeling fresh, and clear, in regard to acne it would need further use to see if it reduces. Overall the product is value for money providing a new way of removing makeup, t

I generally use makeup wipes as a quick way to remove my makeup. This product work great for me to remove any traces that are left behind. It leaves your face feeling completely clean. I have other products I prefer to remove eye makeup, but for foundation etc this works well. I think it's a great (and less expensive) alternative to Bioderma. The bottle is a generous size and I would repurchase.

This product is great to remove make up at the end of the night after a long day. I still like to rinse my face with warm water afterwards and then moisturiser as I find this helps take off the last of any foundation that may be in the creases of my nose or any little creases other places. I found it didnt quite take off all of my mascara but I can easily use eye make up remover if I have been wearing heavier eye make up that day. Overall I think this is a great product and would also be very helpful to those who hate taking the time to take their make up off at night as it is so quick.

I've tried using it after my regular makeup cleanser and still managed to get icky things off my face! Definitely a good cleanser if you're not thorough with your routine, it will cut down cleansing time because I find it's more powerful without being harsh at all.

There is no smell and there is no residue left on your skin after use. It's recommended to leave a soaked cotton pad on for 5-10 seconds for heavy makeup removal.

I was pleasantly surprised at this product did all what it stated, It took my make up off with out having to use any pressure or rubbing, found that my skin did not feel dry or tight after using as I thought it might, just felt clean and refreshed A nice product to use in the morning to start the day. Loved the size of the bottle as this will last quite a long time.

Pleasantly surprised by this product. Doesn't look anything extra special although I very much appreciate the size of the bottle and the very affordable price for 400ml. Have used this for just over a week, both morning and night, and find it does live up to it's claims. The cleanser is fragrance free (huge-bonus for sensitive skin) and removed all my makeup following the directions on the bottle. Just a few wipes with a cotton pad and my skin was clean. Also liked that it didn't leave my face feeling sticky like some makeup removers I have tried do - nor did it leave my skin feeling tight which is another problem I have had in the past. Very satisfied and whilst I don't think this is a miracle product or anything special, it is a nice all rounder that I would buy again.

First thing I noticed when it arrived was the size of the bottle – its huge! Sceptical me off course thought – gonna have to use a lot of that …..Surprise Surprise….

I have sensitive skin that is prone to psoriasis, but this is so gentle and calm and it removes most make up…my mascara is a little bit more stubborn to get off, it's soothing, non irritating

Left my skin feeling of fresh and clean after a long day at the office and even wiped off full formal make up after a night out. I just use it with makeup cotton pads, and it wipes clean easily. No panda eyes the next day.

It really is as clear as water with no smell and easy to use. Absolutely love it, nice clear bottle with easy lift pink (nice touch) top. The bottle in my opinion might not travel to safely – it has a flip top that easily opens – quite nifty for next to the basin/make up stand. Definitely a better option then expensive make up wipes (I will keep those for travelling)

Think the price is great for such a big bottle – they say 200 cleanses – been using it for a full week and have just started making a “dent in it”.

Definitely will recommend it for any skin type – definitely sensitive skin.

Here it is, I was super excited about this review and then I tried the Micellar Cleansing Water. Now, I have pretty clear skin other than a few small spots around that time of the month. So it wasn't much fun when my skin broke out majorly after using the Micellar Cleansing Water. Unfortunately, it got worse after day 3 ( I thought my skin may have just been adjusting) which meant I had to stop using the product. My skin has begun to clear up now that I have gone back to my normal regime. I'm quite gutted that this product didn't work out for me.
