Garnier Organics Cornflower Micellar Water Reviews

I've been a long time user of Micellar Water, it's great when you've had a long night but you know you need to remove your makeup. This product is great if you have sensitive skin, I found it really gentle and left my skin feeling calm and hydrated. The only con to this is that if you were heavy duty makeup i.e. full coverage foundation and waterproof mascara, this isn't the greatest at removing everything at one go. I'd say give it a go, it's affordable and generally works.

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.

This is a beautiful micellar water. Gentle and effective at removing the days grime. I use this with facial pads. A little goes a long way and the smell....the smell is gorgeous. Kind of soft and reminicent of baby powder.

I received this to trial via Beauty Review. I've used the regular Garnier Micellar Water a lot, and love the Mecca one, which is rose and cornflower, so was excited to try this.

First impressions - the bottle is huge. 400 ml is a really decent size for the price point. I love that the cap a) is removeable and b) features a dispenser that is large enough to get a cotton bud into - I find i waste product if I have to tip it onto a cotton bud. The packaging is heavy green plastic, with an image of a cornflower - which I guess ties in visually with the 'organic' claims. The word 'organic/s' appears 3x just on the front labelling, making it pretty clear that that is the angle they're pushing with this.

The liquid itself is clear and thin, just like any other micellar water I have tried.

The scent is overpoweringly floral - it's too much for a product that claims to be soothing. At first sniff I nearly didn't use it, and definitely wouldn't have purchased it.

However, I'd been sent it to try, so try it I did.

I double cleanse my face, so tried this in step one (make up removal) a couple nights, step two (final cleanse) a couple of nights, and also tried it as an eye makeup remover, brush cleaner and on a cotton bud to tidy my eye makeup one day.

Makeup removal - is was surprisingly effective for this. I wet a cotton pad with the product and removed my makeup, then did a second pass and the cotton pad was virtually clean even before my second cleansing. However, it did feel like it was a little harsh, and I much prefer my usual oil based makeup removers. This felt a little intense.

Second cleansing - again, this was effective but felt a little intense, and when I sprayed my face with the facial spray i'm using atm it felt a little sensitive. Of the two, I probably prefer it as a makeup remover followed by a cleanser, but it wouldn't be my first choice for either.

Eye Makeup removal - effective, but I hated it. I intentionally did heavy makeup one day to test it, and while it got all the makeup off efficiently from my lids, it smeared under my eyes, dragged on my eyelids and the scent was too much.

As a makeup tidying tool - love it for this - you can stick a cotton bud in the bottle very easily, and tidy any eye makeup errors. In those small quantities the scent is fine, and it works well.

As a brush cleaner - effective but the scent of course transfers to brushes, which gets a bit much after a while.

Overall, I'll use the bottle, but am not likely to repurchase as the scent and the 'too much-ness' of this puts me off a little.

My skin is combination, tending oilier over summer, and this wasn't stripping - in fact the balance of my skin was nice all week using this - but because my skin was a little sensitive after full face and eye use I feel like this is too strong for my skin.

I've been using it for over a week thanks to being part of trial, on my crazy sensitive skin which has also had a touch of sunburn in the crazy heat. It is so gentle and soothing at the end of the day when I go to clear off the products on my skin.

It has a lovely smell to it and I love that it's not oily. My sensitive skin has had no reactions at all to it.

It has been gentle and soothing on my sunburned face too which has been great.

Definitely will be adding it to my shopping list when I run out.

I received this as part of a trial team. I've used many of the Garnier micellar waters before, grabbing the OG when it first launched and even reaching for the milky micellar cleanser.

This wasn't much different - I didn't find it was amazing compared to the others. It smelt nice and didn't irritate my eyes, but that was the only major difference I've had with this.

I'll continue to use it up but I wouldn't repurchase. I do like how it is formulated with organic ingredients but as micellar water is mostly water, I'm not extremely worried that this is a non-natural product anyway.

It's a nice micellar water if you want a floral-scented one.

I absolutely love this micellar water.It does such a great job at removing my makeup, cleaning my skin and removing oil and sweat without any irritation and stinging. It’s amazing for sensitive skin and smells great. I use this morning and evening and its become a staple in my skincare routine.

There is 400mls in a bottle, I only use a wee bit on a cotton pad and a little goes a long way. It retails for $14.99 and is widely available in supermarkets, the warehouse and selected pharmacies. I believe the product will last me quite a while before having to repurchase.

I’m always hesitant to use micellar waters due to previous bad experiences with skin irritation but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I love how it is a vegan formula, made with organic cornflower water and organic barley water. How cool is it that its organic!

I highly recommend giving this a go, This product defiantly stands out from the rest of them!

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.

I was lucky to get to trial this micellar water, I use micellar everyday so know what I like and don't like!

The packaging of this micellar is different to what we're used to from Garnier, presumably to differentiate the "organics" brand. But in terms of effectiveness, there is no difference. Both have a pop top cap and are easy to use.

It has a light floral scent which I like and my skin was not irritated by it at all, it also didn't sting my eyes which some brands have done.

Overall this is a really nice micellar, it removes my foundation and eye makeup effectively and leaves my skin feeling fresh. It's a product I would use again.

Micellar water, the name simply implies for me “beauty” and this little beauty packs a great punch, larger than most in size, packaging that is clean and Crisp without any overdoing on advertising and instructions, leaving a bottle that is as fresh as the product inside! The lovely touch of Vegan friendly, organic cornflower has me excited the minute it turned up, using it on one of my most stubborn make up brands, it easily removed both foundation and my eye make up without the need for harsh rubbing, leaving my sensitive skin simply happy! I have extremely sensitive skin that can react to almost anything with a oil base, but this product is one that was so refreshing that there is no after feel! No residue and no horrible chemical smell, leaves this on my product must have list, So if your after subtle scent, clean bottle that is recycled, less over the top packaging and a great relief from harsh makeup removers then this is the way to go :)
