Quick and easy make up removal

I like this product. It's a clear liquid in a cute pink bottle. You put it on a cotton pad and just wipe it across your skin. Simple as that. Your makeup comes off on to the pad. It may take a couple of swipes for heavier makeup. I also found that holding for a couple of seconds on closed eyes made removing eye makeup easy too

Tips: I found the flat round cotton pads worked best.

Good cheaper alternative!

First off i love the cute shape of the bottle! Easy to hold and open.

I squirt a bit on a cotton pad and held over eyes for a few moments to let it soak in, Removed my non waterproof mascara quite well, however my waterproof took a bit more - but thats a given.

Worked wonderfully on my foundation also with minimal *rubbing* - using Estee Lauder double wear - which usually needs a bit of work to remove!

Left skin feeling squeaky clean - an no redness like some removers leave!!

Up until now ive used a high end make up oil to remove my foundation but im really suprised at how well this removes make up! For a cheaper alternative it works wonderfully.

I will certainly purcahse again!

Tips: I hold a cotton pad soaked in the micellar water over my eyes for a few moments to let it wet lashes for easy removal.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

Silly name (micellar, my cellar, my cellular?) but I have to admit it did perform better than I expected for what is basically water with a little bit of glycerol and glycerin splashed in. It's colourless, odorless and foams up slightly when applied to a cotton ball. It did a good job of removing my light BB cream that I wear as foundation most days, and left my skin feeling "dewy" to use a beauty buzzword (aka a bit damp). However it took a few swipes and more than a couple of cotton balls to remove a heavier foundation, so if you trowel on the primer, foundation, powder, etc etc this is probably not the product for you! And to be honest I probably wouldn't buy it - it's basically the stuff you find on the cleansing wipes at the supermarket and less convenient to use.

Tips: Good for removing light makeup or cleansing make up free skin.

Intriguing!

At first sight and smell, it seemed just like real water which I was surprised by. It's so simple to use too which I was happy about because I had never heard of micellar cleansing water before, so it seems like a great basic product to have if you're not into using multiple fancy products to remove your makeup/the day's grime. Just squirt some onto a cotton pad and rub your whole face, but there is no need to wash it off after (which I was reluctant to at first). It dried quickly and my skin felt smooth and like there was no product on it at all, just like REAL water. I didn't get any breakouts from using this product which is great because it shows that it really was cleaning my skin.

Tips: I think that this product would be really handy if you were camping, hiking, or at a festival; because it's just SUCH a simple and effective way to clean your face.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

What an amazing product! I have used this for a little over 2 weeks and love it! Not only did it remove my makeup well it left my skin feeling clean and soft ,no need to moisturise.They say there is no need to rinse this is very true i didn't rinse and my skin had absorbed it within minutes! I would definitely recommend this to people who have sensitive skin like me.

Tips: Use round makeup remover pads when applying its so much easier

Does Work

I found this product good to remove foundation and eye shadow, but when you rub the eye shadow off the mascara comes off under your eyes and this take longer to get off than what i already use. I also had to use alot as if dried out before I could finish half my face. But the size of it meant I could carry it in my handbag/toiletry bag. It didn't really leave my face feeling that clean either.

Micellar Just like Water

Received sample from BR to test.

On opening the pink lid & writing caught my eye & stands out.

I have been using for a few days now.

The product is clear & just as it says like water. There is no smell & it is refreshing to use. It leaves a very faint tingling sensation so you know you have used something but does not sting at all.

Overall it works but I do think that you do go through the process a number of times with your facial cotton pad wipes in order to remove makeup / dirt residue completely as opposed to when you just jump in the shower & use a cleansing scrub.

The plus side is it did make your skin feel clean & refreshed & I like that it was natural just like water...

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I was lucky enough to be chosen for a trial for this and have been using the product every night for the past week. I've never tired any brand of Micellar water before but have been meaning to for a while so this is my first experience this. I was a bit hesitant at first as I've been reacting to a lot of products lately especially if they are not natural/organic but I was very pleased with this one.

First off, it comes in a simple plastic bottle that's fairly sturdy. The top part is kind of like a squeeze bottle so it makes it easy to control how much of the product you're using when you're putting it on your cotton pad to apply. The water itself is basically like a toner and doesn't have any smell at all. Upon application, it did not sting or irritate my sensitive skin at nor did it leave any dryness or redness. Did it remove my makeup? Yes! Easily! I've tried this with both heavy makeup and light makeup and it worked very well. I did have to use a couple of cotton balls for heavier makeup but that happens with most makeup removers anyway. It even worked great with my waterproof mascara and eyeliner even though it doesn't specifically say on the bottle that it removes waterproof. My skin felt clean and refreshed after using this.

Overall, this is a great product. I've been leaning more towards natural skin care lately however, because this product is so gentle, I would not hesitate to use it again.

Tips: This would be great to bring on a long haul flight to cleanse and refresh the skin after flying!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I love this product. There is absolutely no scent and is super gentle on my sensitive skin. I pour a little on a cotton pad and apply to my face to remove my makeup at night. I wear heavy mascara so I'll leave the cotton pad over my eyes with light pressure for about 5 seconds, then begin to wipe away the eye makeup, this helps my eye makeup to come off super easy! The product is not greasy and I always feel refreshed before jumping into bed! Its super lightweight and does not leave my skin feeling dry or cause breakouts.

I find using this on a cotton pad is a lot more cost effective then buying facial wipes so this is definitely my new “go-to” product for everyday use. It is a little pricey but it will last a long time, so this won’t stop me from picking it up off the shelf.

The smaller version of this product is awesome, I find the larger product great when I am at home, but the smaller one is perfect for when I travel and have to watch the weight of my carry on bag!

Definitely give this a go, you won’t regret it! :)

Tips: Use the product on a cotton pad, it makes using the product a dream!

Pretty good

I have never used a micellar water before so did not know what to expect from it. I was excited after reading the bottle and looking at a few reviews. First Time I used it it was on a bare face but still ended up with a dirty cotton pad- very impressed it clearly did clean my skin. Had a slight residue after use but that dried and left my skin feeling nice. The next time I used it to get off my make up which took a long time to end up with a clean cotton pad but it definitely did the trick. Works on eye makeup too just didn't seem to work to get my water proof mascara off-but I have struggled to find something that does get it off other than oil. Cute packaging like that it comes in a small size for travel/storage

Tips: Soak the cotton pad
