Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I was really surprised how well this water cleaned my skin. It removed all traces of make up and left my skin feeling soft and not greasy or oily. I was worried it would cause me to break out because it was not what I would normally use but it hasn't. Absolutely worth it for the price and will last for a very long time. Pros: easy to use, non greasy, doubles as a make up remover, cost effective, it works cons: there are none I thought it was fantastic.

Twenty years ago I started using Shiseido oil free cleansing water and loved it, but it was very pricey, so I hoped this product would be a modern version.

My daughter had purchased the Garnier Micellar cleansing water in Australia, and found it was great for her teenage skin. I have very fair English skin (50 yrs old) and find a lot of wipes etc. cause a burning sensation on my skin, so I am reasonably careful in what I use.

This product was great, it left my skin feeling clean and no stinging or burning. I use Revlon Colourstay foundation and it did remove that, but required about three goes round. Mascara not so easy to remove, but it did a good job.

I remove my makeup every night before bed, so this was a great product to wake up my skin in the morning.

I would certainly use again, especially for my no makeup days, and the BIG size means that I can share it with my girls.

So if your like me you wondered if this product would actually stand up to what it promised then you will be positively pleased with this. Both my loyal make up wearing daughter and I tried this cleansing water and instantly fell in love with it. I was amazed how much this removed from my pores. I also felt secretly ashamed at the same time, I thought my exfoliater got all the grime but this just proves it doesn't clean away everything. My daughter has sensitive skin and has had no problems using this. It doesn't feel sticky or oily when left on the skin. Sometimes our skin can feel dry and stiff when a product has been left on it but not with this magical water. This will be a staple product in our bathrooms.

Magic water?! Micellar water! Im intrigued by this stuff, ive seen so many you tubers rave about it so cant wait to try it. Im Quite excited about the size of bottle- 400 mls and The recommended amount to use is half a teaspoon so thats a lot of uses in this bottle! Over 200 they say on the info card that came with the package.

I knew the best way to trial this was to wear full make up and Benefits They're Real mascara to fully test this miracle water out.

I have been using this for a week now and am pleasantly surprised at its ability to take EVERYTHING off my face without scrubbing or harsh rubbing, including the almighty mascara! I will admit however that it took 3-4 cotton pads to get all the makeup off. Thats the only downfall, it chews through the cotton pads !

It leaves the skin really squeaky clean which is a bonus, something i couldnt get with ordinary cleaners

Will definitely re purchase when this bottle is empty!! Love love love

I was fortunate enough to be selected to trial the Barnier Cleansing Water, so I am not actually sure if it is on the shelves yet. The bottle arrived as is, no box or additional packaging (which only pushes the price up), and is sturdy and attractive, albeit somewhat plain, so I was not about to expect miracles (surprising how packaging psychologically makes it look inferior or superior). Strong clip on top to the lid. I opened it and could not smell any fragrance - which for me was a bonus. I duly wiped half of my face with cotton pads and the Micellar cleansing water and the other half with plain water. After three light wipes the half cleansed with the Micellar was sparkling clean. I then wiped it with a gentle toner (which always manages to get a little more make up off) but to my surprise the cotton pad was left clean. I repeated this on the side I had cleansed with plain water, and carried on until I had used the toner more than 6 times and make up was still coming off. Yes, it definitely works, at the price it is certainly affordable, and I am sure will last a couple of months. My skin was left super clean. I have used this a few times now, and I am sold! Very gentle, no tingling, no oily residue, no tight feeling afterwards, just a soft and very clean skin. Congratulations Garnier you have nailed it with this one!! I am off to look for some for my daughters......

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water does what it says it will, It genuinely felt as though I was rinsing my skin with water, there was absolutely no irritation or tightness after I used it. I really can’t see ladies with sensitive skin finding this too abrasive at all. Garnier promises this to be a one-step product for face, lip and eye make-up. However, I can’t say that it got rid of every trace of my waterproof mascara, but I am yet to find a cleanser that has been able to Remove it 100%. Only a small amount on a cotton pad is needed so the big 400ml bottle for $12.99 will last months!

i was sceptical,a water cleanser? wow it does exactly what it says.my skin felt great after the first use.it removed all my make up,my skin felt smooth and soft.I did wonder if it was just washing off so I had a no make-up just a moisturizer day.i used first thing in the morning,then at night. I was astounded.the removal pad was really dirty.the amount of grime from just one day.wow wow.love it.

Love this product! Only a tiny wee bit on a pad removed most of my makeup on one try! Didn't have to wipe or scrub my skin very hard, even for my mascara panda bear marks.

Only annoyance I have is the size, being much too big to even think about putting it into make up bag.

Overall, fantastic product! I have sensitive dry skin usually, and found that it didn't react or sting whatsoever! Will definitely recommend :)

My first impressions of this product was what a great size for the price. The packaging is simple and not too fussy ( which I prefer on skin cleaning products), with a handy click lock lid.

The first time using the product, I was pretty impressed. a little went a long way on a cotton pad, and the product easily glided across my face, quickly removing the makeup. It also easily removed my eye makeup very well without stinging, which was almost too good to be true!

After use, my skin felt really clean and fresh, and not oily ( as i expected). Overall a great feeling. I did feel the need to then try a cream cleanser, which did clear some further foundation residue, so not 100% convinced it would replace a cleanser, but it is so much better then facewipes, and would be perfect for lazy days, or when you are against the clock.

Overall I would highly recommend as a staple in your cupboard, as a great product to rely on (especially for removing eye makeup without being left with an oily face!)

This product is amazing. It defiently took all my makeup off which is great for your skin yet it it didn't feel heavy or yuck on my skin. I have sensitive skin and it works well for me. I have found that it can be used for other things as well including cleaning your makeup brushes in between cleaning (cannot replace cleaning though as it won't get rid of bacteria Maybe?). This is perfect for when you are having a lazing girl moment as it not only takes off makeup but cleanses the skin as well so if you really don't want to do anything you can simply put this on (and you don't have to rinse!!!!). Overall it made my skin feel great and I will be re purchasing.
