Garnier Organics Cornflower Micellar Water Reviews

The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell. Coming from using a fragrance free micellar water, the smell was more than what I was used to. Using it on a cotton pad, the cornflower micellar water pulled the eyeshadow, glitter and base pretty much straight off my eyelid, which is a great sign! It was relatively easy to clean off the rest of my face with only another 2 cotton pads, so I ended up using slightly less product than what I would normally use. There was no irratation or unpleasantness when using on my face, and I would liken it to other micellar waters I've used. Being vegan, this product would suit those who are concious about the products they use. Personally, I prefer the fragrance free option as I am sensitive to smells.

i love cornflowers!! theyre the easier flower ive ever grown and they bring me and the bees so much joy, so, i naturally had to buy this!

smells.. pretty. a bit in ya face but it does disappear after a while. didn't hate it but if overly scented is not your thang, maybe avoid.

i thought it removed makeup quite well, but when i followed with a balm cleanser i was still removing mascara and trace amounts of lipstick, so maybe its not as good as i thought.

the bottle is lovely and a really excellent size. i wish they hadve done a full range with cornflower rather than just one thing. wouldnt repurchase, though.

I had high hopes for this micellar. An organic product suitable for sensitive skin? Sign me up!

This product comes in a normal squirt bottle. The water itself is a lovely light green, and doesn't smell like flowers, but more herbal. The fragrance is light, not overpowering and I found it quite pleasant.

But can it remove a full face of makeup? Well, yes. But, I found it would take at least three fully soaked cotton pads, on both sides, to even start to get no makeup residue. It removes eyeshadow really easily. I found it was harder to remove mascara enough so I didn't have panda eyes the next day. It was difficult to remove my liquid eyeliner without resorting to scrubbing at my eyes. I also found that the product would sting my eyes as I was removing eye makeup.

Additionally, the micellar left my skin feeling sticky after being used which was quite unpleasant, and would take at least 15-30 minutes to dry enough where it wasn't noticeable if I did not use any moisturising products immediately.

On the plus side, it didn't irritate my skin at all.

I tried it again when I was wearing only BB cream, and found it an easy and effective cleanser, so I would really only recommend it for a light cleanse, and not a full face of makeup.

Overall, I wouldn't actively buy this, Garnier's eye makeup remover is far superior and I can wash my face and remove all traces of makeup in half the time.

I tried this several times instead of my usual go to Micellar. And I wasn't a fan. First it has a really strange smell. Not a pleasant one at all. It definitely does what it is supposed to. It removes make up of my face with ease. It took some convincing around eye makeup, a wee bit of scrubbing to get the dregs of mascara off. It doesn't feel like anything on the face, doesn't leave an oily or sticky complexion which I also enjoyed. Compared to my usual, this isn't something I would gravitate towards again.

So, I really wanted this to work for me. I've been known to ignore a weird scent or hideous packaging because a product does what the marketing says it does. In this case, it's a no from me on one very important point. It left a residue on my skin. Not just regular 'bit oily can probably deal with it' residue..This was like when you put PVA glue on your hand in primary school and pretended you were old and wrinkly?? Pretty much that. I was like a snake shedding it's skin. I could rub my hand over my face and create little balls of..Well..Ew. It felt like I was generating my own seeds made of plastic and someone else's skin. I think it's fairly obvious by now, I'm sitting firmly with my arms crossed in Camp Negative on this particular item. But, I shall awkwardly get up from that position and continue the search for great products that work.
