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.

This product for me wasn't quite what I expected. The way people rave on about it I thought it was literally a mirical water alas it wasn't quite that good.

I like the clear packaging as it shows you just how much product is left. The labelling was simple and straight to the point.

When asked to trial this I was excited as I hadn't quite got around to trailing it before this opportunity.

It was a simple clear liquid with a super mild scent. Not unpleasant but was detectable. It did an okay job at removing makeup but I did find it struggled with eye makeup. I ended up using it to soak my brushes and found it did a fantastic job at washing them as opposed to removing makeup off my face. I much prefer to use an oil cleanse.

I probably wouldn't purchase this product with my own money but it was nice being able to trial this much hyped up product. I was disappointed it didn't quite do what I was hoping but at least I can put it to use for something right?

Warehouse had a twenty five percent off Sale and I took the opportunity to try a small version of this micellar water. At firstI was very worried my skin would have a reaction. I decided to bite the bullet and give this a try.

My bottle I got is 125 mls. I got a small version to see if will work with my skin. Ganiers labelling is easy to read and has a easy guide to follow on the back. The consistency of this is just like water . I couldn't detect any scent.

When I first applied it I could see all my foundation coming off. I waited several minutes to see if my skin would burn but it didn't. I tried it on my liquid eye liner and it came off.But it didnt quite remove my mascara. I tried several times and it still didn't budge.

After trying this I can see why its a huge hit . It got most of my make up off. After trying this I would like to give more Micellar waters a try. I don't think I would repurchase this again because I need my mascara to come off well. I'm yet to try something better than cleansing oil.

I really like this product as it is refreshing and does not irritate my dry sensitive skin at all! However it just doesn't take off all my make up the end of the day and I end up having to use something more afterwards. I wish it did work better for me as it would be a great option for travelling.

Does a pretty good job of removing all makeup hasn't become my go to I only really use it if I run out of my usual products and I find it leaves a residue and I need to rinse after use.

It was okay but I found with my mascara and some eye makeup I still had to scrub allot to be able to get it off my face. I hate scrubbing my eye area as it’s not good for the skin. For foundation blush etc it worked great.

This micellar water is great for removing make up and dirt from your face but I just found it left my skin feeling strange after? A little oily and wet feeling, I also did not like the smell. It does what it says it will do I am just fussy. I have heard great things from other people.

I purchased this recently at the supermarket and for a large bottle it was relatively cheap about $13. I only ever use a micellar water to remove my eye makeup and even though I’m home at the moment during lockdown I’ve still been playing around with makeup. I normally use the micellar water from Mecca (the brand) and I’ve always found this does a great job of getting all my mascara off. This particular one gets most of it off but there is always quite a bit left on the lashes. The product smells nice and is easy to get out of the bottle with a little flip cap that squirts a generous amount onto the cotton pad. I probably wouldn’t purchase this again as I really want a water that will get everything off. I would recommend this to someone who doesn’t wear a lot of eye makeup but uses it to remove complexion makeup as it does a good job of that.
