Garnier Micellar Cleansing Wipes Review

I received these in a Black Box of all things, and was intrigued to try them. I don't normally use Micellar water, so was interested to see how these performed.

These work really well, these removed my makeup easily and didn't irritate my skin. I did feel like there was a bit of residue on my skin after using them, but a quick splash of water made it feel fully clean.

I've since put a pack in my travel bag - I do a lot of travelling for work, and I like to travel light so this is the perfect solution for me. The only issue I have with the product is the packet seal - it would be great to have a slightly stronger seal (think the baby wipes packs) to ensure they don't dry out.

I had previously tried the Micellar Cleansing Water and liked it so was uber excited about the wipes that I had heard so much hype about. I needed to have these babies for days when out and about to keep my makeup in check.

The little pack is super cute and can fit anywhere without too much fuss. I kept mine in my glovebox out of the sun so not to get dried out in the heat. I loved the freshness seal it comes with. Some wipe packs have ridiculous resealable tabs that stop sticking after only a few uses.

I think the size of them is pretty decent which is good. I can't stand tiny wipes that require at least two to do any real impact on your makeup. The thickness is adequate so that my fingers don't wear through the wipe from the harsh rubbing.

I too agree with the two below. The wipes are very dry. They are damp at very best. It requires me to rub harder which leaves my skin red and irritated. What is the point of a makeup wipe that doesn't work when used gently!? It is a waste of my time.

I would have been satisfied even if they were refreshing to use on the face. They don't even work in that way. I found that I had to use a cleanser to remove any makeup after using them. It defeats the purpose of wipes at all if I have to use a cleanser afterwards.

They are more suited for my son. He enjoys 'tattooing' mum so uses them to wipe away excess ink. They were no use to me so I just gave them to him to enjoy, which he does.

I have always been a fan of alot of Garnier products and have brought their makeup remover wipes for years. These were great overall, did the job and removed all my makeup well. The only issue I had was a couple of packets I have brought have been a little on the dry side, but otherwise they are affordable and up there with some of my other favourites. They smell good too!

I purchased some of these from a big bucket sale for $6.

25 in a pack so it seemed to be a pretty fair price. I was a bit skeptical about a wipe on my face as I break out or get a stingy face if I wipe my face with a baby wipe. I needed something practical to remove my makeup at the end of the day before I could actually wash it off so these made sense.

My first packet I was really happy with performance from them, removed makeup well, thicker and darker eye makeup not so much but enough till I cleansed my face. So stubborn makeup these aren't any good for. However I noticed a break out after I had finished using these and was quite dissapointed. I hadn't changed anything in my skin care regime except using these wipes so I did put it down to these. However that didn't stop buying me another packet.

My second packet I had such a different experience. My makeup was a lot harder to remove with these wipes. They were not as 'wet' as the last lot so needed a bit of elbow grease to remove the makeup on my face. I broke out almost straight away within using them. So I stopped.

These are 'gentle' on sensitive skin as I never had the stingy feeling or the redness with them but I did breakout.

I won't be using them again. They didn't work for me how I had hoped. This doesn't mean they won't work for others :)

I'm surprised at how unpopular these are, as I had a really good experience with them. I bought mine cheap in Aussie, and I probably wouldn't pay full price for them but they worked quite well for me. I wear heavy eye makeup often, and have sensitive skin, and these caused me no problems unlike other "sensitive wipes". I found them gentle but fairly effective, although I'd often need two to fully remove the makeup depending what I wore. I haven't tried the Micellar Water yet, so I should give that a try too, maybe its even better in liquid form.

I'm really disappointed with the quality of the Garnier Micellar cleansing wipes as I truly love the bottled product.

They come in the standard makeup wipe plastic packaging, and I found the resealable tab on my packet was actually pretty decent. It's always upsetting when you can't actually reseal the packaging properly and your freshly opened wipes dry out quickly.

I am going to have to agree with Trudi, the wipes are really dry, this leads them to not being very effective at removing your make up, and it makes it very very scratchy when you try to remove eye makeup.

The cooling/refreshing feeling of the original liquid micellar water when removing eye makeup was the major drawcard for me to this product as I thought it would be great for travel. Instead I have used up my packet mainly by using like three in a row to remove what make up I can before going in again and double cleansing with a face wash, and just as a general face refresher on hot days.

I really like these wipes. I've used a few different brands which all have had their cons but I feel this are top for me. A tiny packet of wipes that feel moist,upon opening the packet each wipe comes out moist but not saturated which I thought could be a con however when I started using them I found it to be not a problem in fact. The size of these wipes are of an average size & they are thin. The product & it's results I find that these wipes are gentle but very effective I can remove my eye makeup without causing any irratation to my eyes & I love that for removing my foundation, bronzer highlighter brow product it all comes off. I typically use 2 wipes first wipe does my forehead down to my nose then I flip it to take some of my lipstick off then the second wipe does the remainder rod my facell sometimes I'll grab another to just to clear of any excess then go in with my normal face cleaner. A wipe glides down my face & picks up my makeup with ease I'm quite impressed that Im sold on this particular item. I prefer it over the brands micellar water.

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 picked these up on special to try as they were significantly cheaper than my preferred choice and having used miceller water before I thought they might do the trick.

The wipes are soft and easy to use but a little drier then I expected. They claimed to be gentle for sensitive skin which I believe they are however I did find they required a lot of rubbing to remove heavy make up which has the potential to irritate. 

They are affordable but I wouldn't use these again because I think there are better wipes on the market.
