Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

I use makeup wipes every day, because I wear makeup every day, and I'm the kind of person that by the end of the night I like to have the option of sitting on the couch to remove my makeup. So this definitely isn't a review on makeup wipes per se (they're great), but a review on the Garnier Micellar variety.

About a year or two ago when Micellar became the beauty buzzword, I tried the Garnier Micellar Water (in bottle). I liked it, but as a testament to my aforementioned lazy ways, it didn't stick because I hate washing flannels. I went back to my makeup wipes. Then! Lo and behold, here are Micellar Wipes!

Unfortunately they did not meet my expectations. They do remove it, but I found I had to spend a lot longer vigorously rubbing my face to break up the make up. This caused the wipe to rough up into some half disintegrated mess.

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 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 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.

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.

I had purchased these hoping for a portable and convenient version of the amazing micellar water. But this was not it! I found these wipes dry, and did not live up to their liquid version. They did not remove all my makeup and I still needed to clean my face after two of these. For a quick refresh they would be fine but I would just use a baby wipe for that for a much more cost effective alternative.

These are by far the best cleansing wipes , I’ve tried cheap ones expensive ones, big ones , small ones. But these keep the perfect amount of moisture and make cleansing a breeze!

I use these as my go to way of cleaning my makeup off when I have no time to use a foaming cleanser. It removes makeup instantly, is gentle on the eye area and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. The pack is small enough to slip in your bag for emergency repairs but the tissue unfolds to a good size to cover a wide area. I highly recommend these.

Price wise these are good as they are very affordable. I did find however that I had to really wipe my face a few times to get the product off. I use and love the micellar water in this range, but this wasn’t really the same! Also dried out very quickly

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!!!
