Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

The Garnier Micellar Water is great for getting rid of my make up at the end of the day. I love how easily it removes my eye make up and my base. It's great for removal BUT it isn't a cleanser - you definitely need to cleanse after

I have been using this product for about a month now. I love it more than any makeup remover i have tried (and i have tried alot!) It makes my skin so soft and clean. Compared to makeup remover wipes it actually removes EVERYTHING. So easy to use and no nasty chemicals!

I just admit I was a little hesitant to try this product as I have seen that a lot of people have reacted to this (getting red puffy eyes etc), but I was kindly gifted some so WHY NOT?! I have been using this in the evenings to wash off my mascara mainly (I squeeze a little onto a cotton ball and press to my closed eye hold for a few seconds then rub off very gently). I really do LOVE how easy the mascara comes off! It is 100x better than scrubbing side to side with a face cloth that feels like sand paper! Later in the evenings tho... I do notice my eyes watering a lot and they are a little sore and sensitive after using this product. It doesn't bother me too much because to me, it doesn't hurt as much as the sandpaper effect that I stated above. Would I reccommend to a friend...? Yes, but with caution, other than that I'm all on board with this Micellar water!

I feel like this product was sooo hyped up! When it first launched in NZ it took me so long to find it! I had already been using another brand of micellar water that I had purchased from postie plus which was amaaazing, so when I purchased this I expected it to be even better because of all the hype and it was from a good well known brand, but I felt so let down! I feel like I have to use so much more and rub so much harder than I do with my other product.

It does do what it says it does, I just expected a little more I guess. When I first used it I broke out really bad, but I guess that was just my skin getting use to a new product.

Over all, this product has nice simple packaging, you get a lot for your money, but I feel like there are other products out there (face wipes etc) that will do the same trick

I am a huge fan of Garner, so it was pretty exciting to receive the invite to try this product. I must admit when it first came out I did do the missions around the supermarkets to find but no luck and just gave up on the product. First impressions of the product, I love the clear bottle and minimum branding so you can actually see how much is left in there compared to other products and brands! I thought it would be great for the soap bag and going away as its a small bottle and not overly bulky. Price wise, as i said above I'm a sucker for Garnier brand so Im happy to pay the price, but its not overly expensive and won't break the budget. To be completely honest I am not a huge eyeliner or heavy eye make up person so I found the product great for removing my minimum eyeshadow, bit of mascara and light application of foundation I do wear. I also used this after washing my face with water especially after working in a stinky hot kitchen and OMG the amount of dirt that came off onto the pad was freaky! I felt like I hadn't washed my face in over a week!! Overall my experience with this product was awesome, my skin was left feeling refreshed and clean. I had no issues with burning sensation or that risk of flaring up with a new product. It left my skin feeling soft and no issues of redness. I would happily continue to use the product, especially knowing that you can use it for so many other uses is awesome!

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.

I purchased this product off feelunique.com after reading numerous reviews and when Garnier stated it wouldn't be arriving in NZ anytime soon.

Consistency- This product has a water like consistency as the name suggests.

Application- I poured a small amount onto a cotton round and then applied it to my face.

Fragrance- I didn't notice much of a fragrance with this product, it is just very light and definitely not overpowering.

Coverage- A small amount of this product goes a long way.

Usage- Not a lot of this product is required to remove makeup, I use only about a teaspoon of this each night on a couple of cotton rounds.

Price- The price of this product is reasonable priced because it is such a big bottle. I paid around $10 for this bottle.

Packaging- The packaging of this product is nice, I like the pink colour scheme that has been used. I like that the product has a lid with a small opening so that I do not end up wasting a lot of product. I also like that the bottle is clear and that you can see how much product is remaining.

Results- I was impressed with how well this removed my face makeup, it was super gentle and removed my foundation etc on around 4 cotton rounds. This product removes regular mascara easily without any rubbing, however when I wear waterproof mascara (which is most of the time) I did need to use a seperate eye makeup remover before using this product as this product really did struggle with the waterproof formula.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase- While I did really like this cleansing water I will probably stick to my regular makeup removing wipes and the eye makeup remover I was previously using. I would be more likely to repurchase this product if it was more readily available and I didn't have to purchase it online.

It does what it sets out to do. However, I always need to clean my face with a cleanser afterwards and I find I still have a lot of makeup left on my face.

Firstly, the packaging is clear and simple. It's nothing special, but it's sturdy, well labelled and it works.

More importantly though is the stuff inside. It has no fragrance which is great because sometimes it can irritate my skin, especially with my blemish prone skin. It leaves no oily residue, or any residue, and you don't have to wash your face after. It is super gentle at removing make up and doesn't dry out the skin.

Usually, I wear concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara and blush. It does a fantastic job of removing my base - usually only one cotton pad will do. It does take more to get rid of eyeliner and mascara, so I tend to stick with an eye makeup remover for that. It's just fantastic in general - I haven't used any makeup wipes since using this and while I am usually pedantic about how it leaves my skin feeling, this leaves my skin refreshed and clean. I usually use this to take off my makeup after coming home from uni, then wash my face before I go to sleep.

Definitely gentle, suitable for all skin types (I am combo-oily) and so affordable!

How can something that looks like water , smells like water and feels like water cleans your skin so throughly as it does ? I was a bit skeptical at first as I'm a cream cleanser fan and I thought no way was this going to get rid of my makeup especially eye make up but it does everything it promises to using micellar spheres that capture the makeup and dirt with the swipe of a pad. I did end up using a few cotton pads as it kept removing dirt ! This product is fragrance free so is great for sensitive skins, acne prone skins as it leaves no oily residue and dry mature skins like mine. My face was refreshed and not dry . My eye makeup was gone including my mascara. I would defiantly purchase this product again !
