Garnier Hyaluronic Aloe Hydrating Micellar Cleansing Water

Garnier knows micellar water, especially after the original pink bottle was sooooo successful but I’m not sure this hyaluronic one does as it’s meant to.

I have used it every day in my cleansing routine and I like the fact that when I wake up I don't see any leftover mascara underneath my eyes. I applied a little bit of product on the cotton pad and lightly press my eyes and keep it for a few seconds so that mascara can melt. So yes it’s excellent at removing make up but did it plump my skin or add any extra hydration?? No I don’t believe it did. I have super dry skin especially in winter so I would have noticed extra hydration but nope nothing like that.

This product is lightly scented, can see how much product is in the clear bottle and best thing of all is you don’t need a lot to remove the makeup so the bottle lasts a good amount of time.

I would still use this again for the fact it smells nicer to the original micellar water and it works excellently for removing makeup.

Anything with the word Hyaluronic on it, I feel like it MUST be good. Thinking that I need to have it on my skin because it is known for plumping and helping with more youthful looking skin. The bottle itself is very generous I think considering you only need a small squirt of it on a cotton pad or whatever you use to distribute it over your face.

I love the colour of the bottle compared to the pink the other Garnier Micellar Water is. It is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye being a pastel green and also goes hand in hand with the aloe water feel. The smell is very refreshing and pleasing. It is actually quite awakening for the senses.

The Garnier Micellar Hyaluronic Aloe Water promises to cleanse, replump and remove makeup. I can confirm that it does two of these three things hence the review title. As a disclaimer I do feel that I need to add in there that I think given more time to use it, my opinion could change. I managed to review it for 6 days before writing this. I may come back and add to the review should I find it to be something other than a glorified makeup remover.

Final conclusions: Definitely removes my hard to remove eye make up so yay big tick. I no longer have to scrub it off! It cleanses to a point, but I think I never quite feel like it is clean enough. I tend to go over with a foaming cleanser which removes still more gunk. That to me is not a good cleanser. The replumping - I feel that the jury is still out on that one until I test it further. To date I will say no.

I’m intrigued by micellar water in general. I just don’t get how it actually cleans- surely you’re just rubbing watery makeup around your face?

I find removing makeup with regular micellar water very difficult. This stuff- works like a dream to get makeup off quickly and easily. It seems to have a bit more substance to it than the regular version - a little thicker or more oily but still like water - I think that’s the difference that makes it remove makeup so efficiently. A quick slosh on a makeup pad and a couple of wipes and makeup is gone it’s that easy. When removing my mascara I did find that this micellar water went into my eyes really easily even with them closed and stung quite a bit.

My face felt soft and clean afterwards and didn’t dry it out at all. Plumping? I did not notice any such thing but perhaps with continued use this may have some noticeable effect. I have very normal skin and didn’t feel any leftover residue but after a few days I did notice quite a few bumps and pimples coming up like my skin was very congested.

I’d definitely recommend this for makeup removal - it can’t really be faulted with how well and quickly it removed foundation and sunscreen and left my skin looking perfectly clean. But I think I may still prefer a cleanser to clean my skin afterwards.

Fresh cucumber scented - it’s a very green fragrance similar to the Garnier Aloe mask and moisturiser, I’m not a fan of the scent but my daughter loved the smell so it’s a personal preference definitely.

I tried this Micellar water for a few days, i do really love a good Micellar water, and love others from this brand. It did the job, just the others i have tried. it was easy to use, just wipe it on *without rubbing It did leave my skin feeling very soft and clean, and moisturized. I have very sensitive skin, and had no reaction to this at all However i probably wouldn't use this again, i really didn't like the smell of it, and given you can still smell it for quite awhile after im just not a fan. So if you do like the smell, this is an awesome product for your skin
