Lovely soft cleanser

I do like this cleanser. Comes in a lovely clear bottle so you can see how much you have left. Squeeze a little onto a cotton pad, you don't need too much as makes your face too wet. I found that I needed three cotton pads to get all my make up off. It didn't however remove my waterproof mascara, I tried several times but it stayed put. Did sting my eyes a little too. My skin felt very smooth and clean. I found that putting a moisturiser on afterwards was a good idea as my skin was a little tight. My face did feel refreshed afterwards, was surprised that it felt so clean. Would use this again.

Tips: I found that I tend to use this more in the morning after a shower as gives my skin a good wake up and makes it feel refreshed before putting on my make up.

A Winner

I'm always nervous when it comes to trying Garner products as I have reacted badly to several in the past. However I was pleasantly surprised by the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. It did feel like I was just putting water on my face. It removed all my makeup gently with just a few gentle wins and left my skin feeling clean and very soft. I will keep using this product.

My face feels so clean

I'm frequently too lazy to bother with makeup remover (which is horrible I know) but this stuff's so easy to use that I've found myself remembering to take my makeup off more and more. It doesn't leave your skin feeling oily (which I've gotten from a lot of makeup removers in the past) and it takes off makeup pretty easily and also leaves your face feeling clean. I'm still not really sure how it works but I like it and I'll definitely continue using it in the future.

Great product, few flaws

I have been using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for about 4 days now. I've used it as a normal cleanse, a make up removed, and a way to clean my face in the middle of a day after a dramatic spilling incident with my 11 month old son! (ew!). I will say, it does what it says it will do. It removes make up and dirt and leaves my face feeling clean as if I've just used a cleanse and rinsed it off.

It is a really good sized bottle (400ml) and the spout is easy to just squeeze onto a cotton ball or pad. I have found you do need to be mindful about how much you use, as too much will just make for a watery face and it does sting a tad if it gets in your eyes!

It removed my waterproof mascara with ease, as well as many layers of foundation and primer! So removing make up - TICK!

It left my face feeling cool and fresh after use!

I have sensitive skin so I was prepared for a stinging sensation once I had used it for the first time, and perhaps a couple of pimples after a few days. NOPE! They did not arrive! BONUS!

My skin was clear and clean! I really do love it!

The one flaw: I do feel the tightness of my skin afterwards really uncomfortable. I have to use moisturizer straight away or it's really unpleasant.

Tips: Have moisturizer handy and watch how much you use!

Where have you been all my life?!

So, we were all a little skeptical, right? Whoa. I couldn't wait to trial this, and safe to say I was impressed!

Did pretty much exactly what it said. Only had to rub a bit harder on lipstick and eyebrows also I don't think mine would last 200 applications. I have already recommended to everyone though, it is a great product, will definitely stay in my life.

Tips: I used two pads. One to cleanse and then the second to get any left behind makup.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

This is amazing! I would definitely recommend. This did what I thought it was going to do and more! One small amount on one cotton pad wiped my entire face free of makeup. And as a comparison I went over after with a makeup wipe and nothing! Nothing was left on my face. This is well worth the cheap price it is for the amount you use and the wonders this product does! Doesn't leave my face feeling weird or sticky just normal!

Tips: As it says, no rubbing necessary.

Miracle water? I think so!

I have to say I was a little unsure if this would do as it said it would, but I was pleasantly surprised! It did a fantastic job at removing pretty much all my make up( - the water proof stuff) it makes my face feel clean and fresh with out that tight feeling you can sometimes get. I have been using it every day and night beacause it's so easy it's changed me I was pretty lazy about skin care mostly at night coz I'm tired/ lazy! But this is so easy I have no excuse now! It does leave my skin feeling a little moist or like there is a dew on it but I kinda like that. There is no stinging around my sensitive eyes. All and all this product does what it said it would for me and my skin and it's such a good price for the size! I love it!

Tips: This is so easy to use I have transferred some in to a travel size so I can cleanse or remove make up anywhere!

It's finally here

I picked up a bottle of this a few months ago when I was in holiday in Oz. I quickly became a fan and promptly made requests to friends across the ditch to bring me more home. I would use this product in place of make up remover wipes or towels, I like the fact that its non drying and non perfumed. Its great to use to remove make up and is super gentle on the eye area. I also like that its non-greasy unlike other traditional eye make up removers. Generally my cleansing routine is to use this to remove my eye make-up and I may do a quick swipe over my foundation too, but I usually go to my cleanser and clarisonic for a super clean face. However on nights when I may have had one too many drinks, but don't want to wake up with a face full of smudged make up I will use this. I haven't found this product great to remove ALL make-up on my face and I would not use this in place of cleanser if I had a choice, but I like it better than make up remover towelettes as it doesn't have a drying effect. This may be just down to the kind of foundation I use (Estee Lauder Doublewear) which has pretty high coverage and therefore takes a bit to be removed! Never the less, this product is definitely in my daily beauty routine (I also think its helped grow my eye lashes - jackpot!) and I am super excited that its going to be on NZ shelves!

Tips: Great to remove eye make up. Stock up on cotton make up remover pads as you will go through them super quick! Perfect to use after a night out, or travelling in place of make up remover wipes.

good product, great price

I had been wanting to try this product for a while so when i got the opportunity to trial it i jumped at the chance.

Lets start off with packaging: i like the packaging, it comes in a clear plastic bottle, great for seeing how much product is left, and it has a flap lid that you push open. this packaging works very well and the sizing is very generous at 400ml. This will last for quite a long time. the only thing that i don't like about the packaging is that when you open the small cap there is a hole where the product comes out but it comes out incredibly fast! i always end up using more on the cotton pad than i mean to!

Now the contents of the bottle: when you first open the bottle you notice that it doesn't really have a smell like most similar products, so is ideal for sensitive skin. it is a completely clear product as you would expect and has the same consistency as water so very runny. i have found that it is best to get a small cotton pad, place it over the opening and squeeze slightly trying not to release too much product, then i run the cottonpad all over my face after i have cleansed. This removes any leftover foundation or eye makeup. This product works incredibly well, i have to say that it has now replaced all of the toners that i used to use. I have also found that it has replaced my mac cleanse off oil which is a product that you use directly on makeup to remove it before cleansing. if i am wearing a very stubborn foundation such as estee lauder double wear which i would normally use the cleanse off oil on top of to remove, i have found that by using this product and a cotton pad does the same job!! for a lot less money. so really there are 2 different ways to use it, before cleansing or after cleansing, depending on the stay power of the foundation.

All in all i will definitely be purchasing this again, the only thing that i didn't really like was that it is easy to accidentally use too much product, but for the price of the product it is worth it. Worth a try i would say!

Couldn't recommend enough!

To be honest, when I first heard about Cleansing Water I was a little sceptical - being essentially just water and having no scent. So as soon as it came in the mail, I was determined to try it. I put on some heavy eye liner, and as directed wiped my eyes with it. To be honest, I couldn't believe my eyes (literally); the eyeliner came of in just a few soft wipes. So, so far so good.

The next test was the next night after I had gone out with a full face of Make-up. I was excited to really give this cleanser a real go, and I was not disappointed. Other make-up removers I have used left my face, particularly eyes, greasy and shiny, red from rubbing and sore (particularly if some had gotten into my eyes accidentally). But this cleansing water was the complete opposite. My face and eyes felt fresh and as though I hadn't really even had make up on. There was no red-ness or grease, and it felt fantastic! I was able to take off all of my eye makeup and foundation etc so easily and I couldn't believe how fast it was either.

I also found it great to fix little mistakes when applying eye makeup. By putting a little on a cotton tip and dabbing the particular area of my eye, it easily removed the unwanted eyeliner, without really disturbing my eye shadow and getting all greasy - like what I had experienced in the past - and in turn ruining that whole eye's make up. With this I was able to fix the little mistakes without a hitch which was fantastic!

I love the fact that it natural and feels great on your skin - no smelly chemicals.

The easy-to-pour bottle is great, and it's awesome how you can simply pop it into your overnight bag if need be.

I will definitely continue to use this! Thanks Beauty Review for introducing me to this amazing new product! I will most definitely buy a new bottle once this has run out.
