Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

After hearing months and months of hype about this mysterious product online, I was SUPER excited to try it when I saw it on the shelf of my supermarket! The fact that the entire supermarket stock has now been sold out for two weeks is a great testimony to the popularity of this water!

I think what firstly attracted me was the appeal of having an all-in-one makeup remover, cleanser, toner, etc. Being able to use the same product for everything morning and night, plus not having to rinse with water or anything, was a huge appeal! The second thing that attracted me was the ADORABLE packaging - the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water comes in the cutest chubby bottle, with a useful pink clip-top lid.

The formula itself is magic. Unscented, this water removes makeup SUPER easily and very thoroughly. When used on my eyes it does not sting or irritate in the slightest - the reason why I usually hate liquid eye makeup remover. This water leaves the skin feeling clean, soft, and not irritated or overly dried-out. And the best thing? You don't even need to use water to rinse afterwards!

I did find that this was terrible at removing waterproof mascara, but I dislike wearing waterproof mascara anyway, so not really a con in my books :-)

So I had to jump on the band wagon and try this product since everyone has been raving about it - I'm impressed!! I wasn't expecting it to b that wonderful - because surely something so cheap won't work that well... I was wrong!! I wear Double wear most days which is a notoriously difficult foundation to remove and the cleansing water works a treat!! It takes 2 cotton pads to remove a full face of make up for me - and I wear a full face most of the time! I can understand why this product has been flying off the shelves, this is an incredibly cheap product for something that not only cleanses but tones and cleans too. I am converted and will be repurchasing as well as buying this for friends to try!

I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to review this product. It has been greatly hyped and I was interested to see if it would provide the same results as bioderma. These product worked beautifully to remove all traces of makeup and left my skin feeling clean but not stripped of all goodness. I'm also prone to an oily nose which made me wonder whether the water would make it even worse and over hydrate my skin. However, I even noticed a slight reduction in my oil production which is an absolute win! I think I might have to keep this nifty product in my regular regime! Because I have sensitive skin I could notice the difference between this gentle product and other cleansers- even the Michael Todd Honey Oat face cleanser. Would genuinely recommend! Especially considering the reasonable price tag!

Decided to buy this after several youtubers were raving about it, and it really is just as good as they say! Leaves your face feeling super clean and with no oily residue unlike a lot of make up removers. Also, the bottle is very big for a product like this so last ages.

Absolutely in love with this product, I use to stuggle finding a product that would remove my eye make up, but that was gentle on my very sensitive skin. Ive now found my holy grail makeup removing product! It easily wipes away even the toughest of eye makeup and removes every last trace of foundation, that other makeup removers often miss. My skin has once reacted to this product which is a huge deal for me. I will diffinatly be purchasing again and maybe even some back up ones just incase.

I have been hearing some great things about this product so I decided to buy it and try it out. It took a few tries to actually find it because Farmers hadn't stocked it yet and the Countdowns did not have it either. The 3rd Countdown I went to had it so I was really excited because they had it on special for $9 instead of $12.99. I was really happy about the size of the bottle so you definitely get your moneys worth.

On my first use I used a round cotton pad and I spread the cleansing water all over the surface. I was amazed at after one swipe across my cheek, all my foundation was removed and it left a cooling sensation on my face which made my skin feel hydrated and clean instead of oily. The leftover cleansing water on my skin was just absorbed into my skin which was amazing!

I then removed my eye makeup and everything was removed with about 3 swipes, including my mascara. This was so important to me because I hated scrubbing my eyes to remove my mascara and eye liner.

One thing I did not like about this product was that when a little bit of the product got into my eye, it burned for a few seconds and I don't have sensitive eyes so I don't know how that would work on people who have very sensitive eyes.

That was a minor problem for me though because the burning only lasted about 4 seconds and there was no redness or itching.

Overall this is a great makeup remover and cleanser which is gentle on skin and requires no scrubbing at all.

I was fortunate enough to know someone trialing this for BR! I absolutely adore this product. It made my skin feel so soft and fresh after using and hardly took any time at all! I used it first on a day I only really wore a bit of BB cream, concealer and mascara. It removed my makeup as it said it would with just one cotton pad! However, I know people who had a lite more trouble than I did. The only struggle I had was that I found mascara really hard to get rid of. Had to use another makeup remover as it took a little too much time for me to remove my mascara with this. I wasn't wearing waterproof mascara either! On the whole, I do love this a lot though purely for the way it makes your skin feel.

I looovveee this stuff! It is brilliant at taking off even the most stubborn waterproof makeup! One cotton pad will take off your entire face! Although it says its a 3 in 1 so you can supposedly put on moisturiser and your good to go, this product leave a kind of residue on my face after using, so, once I have used it to take off my makeup, ill go wash my face with a warm cloth to get off the residue and most likely use some facewash too. But I'm a skin care junkie so I have a strict routine. If you aren't as fussy however, this stuff is amazing at getting everything off on it's own! Its also really nice around the eyes as its not too harsh but still gets everything off!

Unfortunately I have sensitive skin and this product stung my skin really badly around my eye area :( I'm so gutted because everybody is obsessed with this product and it has so many good reviews.. but it just didn't work for me! :( however it did take my makeup off straight away, it was really effective and therefore did what it said it would :)

I loved the sound of this product. A makeup remover that cleanses and soothes at the same time, sign me up. I was so keen to get my hands on it I went to about 6 different shops before I managed to find it. I tweeted about my joyous find to Beauty Review and couldn't wait to get home that night to take it all off (my makeup of course!) The first couple of days were really great my makeup came off without any rubbing or much effort at all really. It even got my mascara off really well after just holding the pad with the cleansing water on for 15 or so seconds. It did feel a bit strange not washing my face with water and progressing straight onto serum and night Creme but hey I was saving time by not washing my face. Then came day three of using it. Please sing along to the tune of Alicia Keys Girl on Fire. My face is on firrrrrreeeeeeee I was standing chatting to hubby taking my makeup off and thought oh that's not quite right. I looked in the mirror and my face especially around my eyes was red and burning. I had to wash it off immediately. My skin still felt a little bit fragile the next day but has come right with no lasting damage. I may try another brands Micellar Water but after much hype and excitement my hopes for this product went down in almost literal flames.
