Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin Reviews

I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil for almost a week now, and I’m converted! I love how it removes my make up without having to avoid the eyes area. Usually I had to be careful to use make up remover around my eyes because I’m wearing contact lenses. And my eyes feel the stings when I use it too close. With Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil, my skin feels clean and smooth, without the dry feeling, and no more stings in the eyes! I love it!

The best things about this cleanser is you don't need to rub hard to get the makeup off. This is especially good on the eye area as just a gentle wipe removes all eye makeup (including waterproof mascara). This means I can keep my contact lenses in if I want to as I am not worried about pushing them around and getting dislodged. It also was gentle enough not to irritate my eyes or eye area.

This micellar water comes in a very generous 400ml size, so it will last a long time. The water is clear, with a small blue layer of oil. When shaken up to mix the water and oil, it turns a pale blue. The water cleanses the skin and removes makeup well, while the oil left my skin feeling moisturised and hydrated.

One downside is the water and oil separate quickly so you need to shake and quickly pour onto a flannel. I found if I left it too long, I would get too much oil on my face and leave my face feeling a bit greasy. I was also a bit surprised that for a sensitive product it has a strong floral scent, but it doesn't bother me.

Overall, a great product and very good value for money.

I use makeup everyday and so makeup remover is something that I use everyday. I have used several makeup removers before but didn't like it because I break out of pimples because it doesn't remove my makeup completely.

I am really lucky to be able to try Garnier Micellar Water in Oil Delicate Eyes & Skin. I've been using it everyday since I got it and never had any issues with it. I didn't break out and as a contact lens wearer, I like that it doesn't dry out my eyes with my contacts on. I also love that it has a subtle scent. Unlike others, I like my products scented and I love it when I smell the scent of my face. It is relaxing to me.

Overall, would definitely recommend it to everyone. I think that it would suit any skin type since I have a very delicate skin but it worked for me.

I was really excited to try out this Garnier Micellar water in oil as I have previously tried the other micellar waters from Garnier and they have all reacted with my skin.

I really like this one and I can recommend it to others with sensitive skin. I do see a major difference in this one compared to the previous ones too.

All of the other micellar waters have burned my skin, like literally left it with a burning sensation. This one hasn't done that. The only reaction I have had this time around is that it did react with the dry skin around the creases of both sides of my nose - but I do know that they can be easily irritated,

I love how easily this removes makeup. I didn't have to rub at all just apply and dab off. It didn't leave anything behind either. It also has a pleasant smell to it too.

Its very gentle especially on my eye area and removes eye makeup like a dream.

I believe this is the best micellar water yet from Garnier. A little goes a long way so I can see this lasting for a long time too.

I have been a contact lense wearer since the age of 18, and had to always opt for waterproof eye makeup to prevent anything getting into my eyes and irritating the contact lenses. Removal of it always posed an issue at the end of the day, ad there were not many affordable products available. The water and oil solution is not new, Garnier has has a product on the market for years, but the Garnier Micellar Water in Oil for Delicate Eyes & Skin seems to have a much improved formula. It has a pleasant smell and comes in a 400ml bottle and the oil is a purple colour when separated from the water part of the product. Once you shake it, it easily mixes. Applied to a cotton bud, it easily removes makeup in one go. The eye area feels refreshed, clean and smooth.

I love Micellar waters. I’m still a fan of the good old face cloth and water for my skin, but sometimes you need a bit of extra help removing make up, especially eye make up. I still like to keep things simple and easy and fresh feeling and that is why Micellar water is for me. I had tried a few brands of the basic Micellar waters available, including Garnier, which was a favourite, but I never really felt the need to try new versions of it as they came out, if it’s not broke, don’t fix it! But given the opportunity to try it, I did. And I loved it. The formal is so soft and gentle, the oil in water formulation is so moisturise for my skin, yet doesn’t appear to leave any residue after cleansing. I can remove my make up with ease and munch skin is soft and mattified after use, so it’s perfect for pre-make-up cleansing. I’ve recently had some trouble with acne on my jawline, and I’ve had to switch up my cleansers and skin care routine to try and combat this. Although I believe it is probably hormonal, I tried skin care aimed at acne, which only made I think worse! I realised actually what I needed was more gentle, and moisturising, skin care, so this Garnier Water in Oil Micellar delicate eyes and skin cleanser has been perfect and helped to heal and soothe the spots. I also suffer from dry skin, dermatitis and eczema and this product is fine and causes no irritation or reactions for me. I usually use it with a cotton make up remover pad but these have been out of stock lately so I’ve used it on a tissue and the formula is gentle enough that it doesn’t break up the tissue! End result is velvety soft, clean skin! My 12 year old daughter loves it too!

Try it, you’ll love it!

I was skeptical about another Micellar water as i have had such varied reactions and experiences with Micellar water before. I wear glasses and contact lenses so finding something that doesnt react with the eyes and lenses is really hard. Past products i have tried and have really stung the eyes and some even had such intense perfume that the eyes ended up watering and was unable to wear contact lenses for a good amount of time.

This product first of all looks visually awesome! even my four year old son comes in and wants to SHAKE the bottle to watch the blue disappear and then float back up to the top! Which then followed with a very brief science lesson on oil and water!

I have found that you dont need much product to do the job with this Micellar Water, the non oil version from Ganier required a lot of product to be put on the cotton pad and a bit of tugging on the eyelids and face. I was happy to report that with a small amount of product on the cotton pad it removed my Benefit mascara and all other traces of my make up on my face. It left a slightly oily feel on my face, but not the Stripped feeling that you get with most micellar waters. I was then also able to add minimal moisturisers or after products and my face did not feel horrible if i didnt do this e.g the next morning.

I have not reported any irritation to my eyes or my contact lenses so far so it is a huge tick for me and I am definitely re purchasing this.

I received the invite to review Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil on a morning I got up with panda eyes (again) & thought “Let’s hope this one works….” I wear Benefit They’re Real mascara & it is notoriously difficult to remove. I love the mascara but have tried a few eye make removers including the Benefit one without success. I also wear contact lenses so am a little careful with what eye make removers I try. So how did this one fare? It states it is for delicate eyes & skin & will remove waterproof makeup, whilst cleansing & soothing. It is a biphase formula so you have to shake the oil into the water-based liquid prior to use. This was easy to do & mixed evenly. You then use a cotton pad to apply to the face – eyes, face & lips without rubbing. Obviously you do need to wipe to get make-up off but this was achieved by a couple of gentle swipes rather than rubbing. I repeated the process around my eyes & voila my eye make-up was gone! It also removed my foundation & lipstick with no problems whatsoever. Onto the product: I must say it is a large bottle which surprised me a little for a makeup remover but I guess if you are using it for the whole face rather than just eyes that’s fine. It will last for 200 uses which makes it very cost effective. Side note – I would transfer some to a smaller bottle if I was travelling…. The fragrance is subtle & pleasant. It says it is non-greasy & this really is true. This was a pleasant discovery as I was a bit worried when the ingredients mentioned oil. It leaves the skin feeling nice & also soothed. The blurb states that you do not need to wash the face afterwards & I feel this would be true. However I always wash my face with a facial wash in the shower & after using the product my skin felt great. The only downside is that the ingredient list says it contains benzyl alcohol which may put some people off although it doesn’t state how much. This is used usually used as a preservative, solvent & viscosity-decreasing agent in skin care. It did not dry my skin out at all. So to the verdict: I woke up without panda eyes. Bottom line – I love this product & will happily continue to use it & recommend to my friends. It does what it says on the bottle!!!

The original garnier micellar water is my all time favourite so I was really excited to try this one as my only complaint about the original was sometimes it didn’t get waterproof eye mascara off & it made my eyelids sting!

Because of all this, this is my new favourite it’s honestly amazing! Make up glides off without rubbing & there’s no stinging at all & waterproof comes off too!

Very impressed!
