Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

I love garnier micellar water so when I saw these at The Warehouse I decided to try them out. I don't usually have too much luck with wipes so wasn't really expecting too much. I paid $6 for the pack which has 25 wipes.

It says they are extra gentle and they sure are! I have sensitive skin and got no reaction or irritation at all. My foundation and mascara is removed easily and I don't have to do any vigorous rubbing.

They are great for travel, they have never dried out and take up minimal space. Also great for lazy nights when I just can't be bothered with my usual routine.

For me the only downside is they leave a slight residue on my face which I really don't like as I have to go rinse my face. It's not a big deal it's just annoying. However I still think they are great wipes and do a great job.

I really like these wipes. They left my skin feeling fresh and clean. The only problem was that they made my eyes sting a bit... but I just don't use them to remove my eye makeup now.

I use the garnier micellar water whilst at home to wash away my makeup and clean my skin. I have found these wipes so convenient for on the go makeup removal, when travelling or camping. A face wash in a wipe these lovelies wash my face as good as using the micellar water from the bottle. I don’t get breakouts and my skin looks and feels clean and moisturised ready for my serum. So convenient and effective.

I'm not really a fan of face wipes. I prefer to clean my skin thoroughly and if I wear makeup, then it is always a double cleanse. Having said that, I was off for a marae stay recently and I always pack as lightly as I can in that situation. Yoi never know how good the showers will be and I try to respect the fact that most marae are in the country and don't have as easy access to water as towns do. As a fan of micellar water, I chose to purchase these. Packaging is standard. A soft pack in the colour pink with quite a good closure. The wipes are thick and large and hold the product in very well. While I felt like they cleaned my face adequately, when not wearing any make up, I have since tried them when wearing makeup and they are quite average at removing makeup. Most of my foundation came off (with two wipes), but they weren't so good at removing eye makeup. I usually only wear non waterproof mascara and eyeliner. I would still purchase for what I required them for, but would only use as a last resort in any other situation.

I have gone through two packets of these but I don’t think they are overly amazing. They do take off makeup and they don’t irritate my skin however I don’t really think these are much better than what you can get from kmart for $1.50 instead of around $8.

I love a good cleansing wipe and for the price these were ok.

The wipes were nice and thick and they removed makeup pretty well, although I did have to use around four wipes for a full makeup. They felt nice and gentle, I had no redness or tingling after use which I can have with strong cleansing products. I found I used my normal micellar water on a cotton pad to remove my mascara, the wipes took a bit much rubbing there.

My biggest dislike was the residue feeling left behind. I'm yet to find a wipe that doesnt leave any residue but these left my face feeling particularly sticky so I always followed up with a cleanser.

I found them ok and very gentle, but I've gone back to my usual brand which removes my eye makeup with more success.

I absolutely love the convenience of pre soaked make up remover wipes!! I wear a lot of waterproof makeup and thick matte foundation. I tend to need minimum 2 wipes for base makeup then I need to actually fold it over eyelashes to scrape mascara off. However in saying that I struggle to find a makeup remover that I do not need to do this with!!!

I bought these cleaning wipes to use when I travel. They are a great price and the ideal size to pack in your bag. They remove eye makeup very well however, I had to use two or three wipes to remove my foundation (I just wear foundation and powder to set). My face also did not feel clean after using them. It felt as if the wipes left a residue on my skin.

All in all, they do the job if you have no other means of removing your makeup.

These wipes are touted as being loaded with moisture, but sadly that wasn't my experience.

I love micellar skin products so when these came on special at my local supermarket I thought I'd try them as a comparison to my regular wipes.

The wipe fabric was a little coarser visually than I expected but still felt soft to touch. It also didn't feel particularly moist which surprised me, as that was what the packaging suggested.

I had to rub quite hard to get my makeup off. I was only using a light-medium coverage foundation, so having to rub to get it off was quite an unusual, almost disconcerting experience for me. In the end I had to use 2 wipes to remove all my makeup, leaving me frustrated as I wasn't used to having to double up.

Although having to use 2 wipes and rub much harder than I expected, my skin was not irritated and felt soft to touch. They did the job, but they aren't a brand I would use again. I feel like a product that is touted as having moisture, should actually have it. These wipes didn't. Gentle, yes but moist, no.
