Converted

Well the first thing that I noticed was the price. I use Johnsons cleansing wipes at $10 per 20 in a packet. The garner water at $12.99rrp says has 200 uses per bottle. So right away it had my attention, I mean what woman doesn't like saving money, however I have tried many wipes and makeup removers that were completely useless so I used it with pessimism. What do you know it works just as well I'd not better than my fav wipes!! Yay. It has the feel of pure filtered water and is amazing at removing makeup. I also used it to clean my face and was surprised at the dirt it wiped off. Bravo garner, bravo, you have gained a new customer. Go to it girls, it's fantastic and sooo cheap....winner hands down

Tips: Just follow the directions......

Undecided on this one!

I have mixed feelings about this product - I was expecting quite a bit from it, especially as a makeup remover. Overall I was a bit disappointed - I find it didn't work that great on eye makeup (mascara and eyeliner in particular). The first time I used it, it still felt like I was wearing lots. I also used it on my face to remove tinted bb cream/foundation - but when I wiped my face afterwards with a wet cloth - I still had makeup come off on it. The bottle also says you shouldn't need to wipe your face afterwards - but I felt that my skin felt a little sticky.

I next few times I used it I used a bit more product - and rubbed my face a bit more until I felt like I got it all off.

One thing I did like about it is that even though I have quite sensitive skin, especially with ezcema around my eyes, it doesn't irritate it.

Update: I've been using this for a few months now and have grown to like it! (and only just needed to repurchase!). I still cleanse a second time afterwards, because I find that it doesn't get all of my makeup off the first time - but it does leave my face/neck feeling super clean!

Tips: Definitely follow the instructions and soak a cotton pad/ball with product. I found that I needed to use quite a bit - especially on mascara and eyeliner. Holding a cotton pad soaked in the product on your eye makeup for 20 seconds or so helps to get it off too.

I'm surprised!

I was super lucky enough to trial this product on here.

I have sensitive skin that really really really does not like any Garnier product. I seem to react badly even needing chemist products to help repair damage. I read up about this and was willing to give it a go. Taking one for all us sensitive bunnies.

The bottle I was given also came with a information card. Apparently 1 bottle can last up to 200 washes. It won't for me.

I've been using this every day and a few different ways to see what works for me. First of all I did the squirting on the cotton pad. Yes it removed my makeup and eye makeup. Even the stubborn stuff! It was a mission though! It took me 5 cotton pads using both sides. I tried this a couple of times as I was beginning to think it's not worth the hassle.

Next I squirted into my hands and rubbed directly onto my face and rubbed it in, then tried the cotton pad. It came off again but I still needed 3 pads.

Then I tried using a beauty blender product. Yes call me crazy but I don't want to have to keep buying lots of packets of the cotton pads. Doing it this way didn't really work.

Next I brought some cotton pads with more of a rough surface. This definitely did work better. It helped remove the makeup easier.

Finally I have found the best option for me. Using a face cloth with warm water to wash off the makeup until my face looks clean. Then use one of the cotton pads with the Micellar water in it. Now I can see all the grime that is left behind. I'm only using one cotton pad on both side. I use less of this and my skin feels cleaner. It's amazing seeing what's left behind as well.

Does it work.... Yes! Does it react to sensitive skin... No! Yay!!! Do you need to wash it off... No and it still won't react Does it leave your skin feeling soft? Yes! 1/2 a teaspoon amount? No I needed more.

I was pretty sure I would react even a little and I didn't. I love that. I was also certain I would be giving this away as it took to long to remove makeup, now I'm keeping it. I'm pleased I tried different ways of using it until I found the perfect way for me.

*UPDATE* I gave it away as it was annoying me not removing it without washing makeup off first

It's a great option if your going away camping or water is in short supply.

I'm in love!

I've seen this product all over Instagram in the recent months and have wanted to try it so badly. I found that even with a full face of make up including waterproof mascara and brow products (which normally doesn't come off with make up wipes or standard make up remover) came off straight away without any rubbing! My skin also felt really moisturised afterwards as well. I even got my sister and friend to try it and both of them were amazing at our good it is and have just purchased some bottles themselves! Definite 10/10

Tips: Don't oversoak the cotton pad with the product or else I found it didn't remove as effectively opposed to just putting a small amount on the cotton pad.

AMAZING!!

I honestly went into this thinking it couldn't possibly do all the things they said it would. I truly apologise! Garner Micellar Cleansing Water is Fabulous. The first time I used it was at the end of the day, I had had a shower, but we all know that plain old water doesn't get the foundation and eye makeup off entirely. So I got a cotton pad and thought I'd give it a go. It was amazing! It felt fabulous on my skin, cooling, refreshing and the 'panda eyes' were no match for this product. My skin felt not only clean and fresh but beautifully soft. I now have used Micellar Cleansing Water morning and night for the last week and I don't think I want to stop now, I have noticed a big difference in the softness of my skin and I don't want to go back to what it was. This is a very gentle product, not at all harsh or astringent. It doesn't sting your eyes when you attack your eye makeup nor does it sting your blemishes ( of which I now have less of) . I didn't need to use a lot, as one gentle wipe is all you need, but as I am now a complete convert, the larger bottle is definitely a draw card as is the price. So, as you can tell, I'm pretty impressed by this product and I will be recommending it to anyone who will listen and I will absolutely be buying another bottle when this one is done. Thank you so much Beauty Review for giving me this opportunity and introducing me to Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.

Removes ALL makeup!

I love this stuff! Firstly it's such a great, affordable price, I would reccommend anyone to try it! My skin is very sensitive, dry and acne prone but it does like this product! It leaves my skin feeling so soft. I used to use just makeup wipes but I'm really amazed after using this, how much I actually left behind, it removes makeup easily without a fuss. You also don't need to use much which is great, although I do go through more than one cotton pad at a time. It really does the job well, leaving the face cool and calm afterwards (no irritation or burning feeling at all) you don't have to attack your face when removing your makeup with this product. Definitely something I'll be repurchasing! You'll be suprised at how much makeup you really miss when you're removing :)

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

This is the best cleanser I have tried as I am often exhausted at night especially and can be pretty casual with removal of my makeup. However - this bottle of magic removes my primer, foundation and eye makeup with speed and efficiency. No frantic rubbing or rinsing, no smell or oily residue, just a few drops on a cotton pad does the job with such speed I was blown away with the results. My face has never felt cleaner and I think is responding better to the serum and cream which then gets applied. Will be buying this again - definitely.

Tips: The hole in the dispensing lid is quite large so don't need to squeeze heavily.

Cleansing Water Holey Grail

I have been using this morning and night as well as 1/2 hour before applying my makeup. To be honest I was not expecting alot from this as I have used Garnier skincare prducts in the past and my skin would react to it . . . but wanted to see what all the hype was with this item. So each morning I would soak a makeup round in the cleansing water and gently apply over the face, eyes, lips and down the neck leave to dry before applying my moisturiser and lip balm and instantly my skin feels fresh and clean. I apply a small amount about 1/2 hour before applying my makeup and I have noticed my makeup application has improved slightly as it has more smooth, clean bare canvas for products to be applied to. But the thing I love the most with this is at night time when removing my makeup . . . I soak a couple of makeup rounds in the cleansing water, wipe one round over eyes and the other over the rest of the face. I wear Estee Lauder DW foundation and alot of waterproof products and I find using the cleansing water first before using my clarisonic and my expensive Michael Todd cleanser helps remove about 70% of the built on products so leaves less work for the other items which is awesome because then I save $$. This is an amazing product and Garnier deserves a pat on the back for this. for the amount you get and for the results you get the RRP $12.99 is an absoulte steal.

Tips: Once applied leave to soak into the skin . . . no need to rinse off.

A great alternative

It seemed to good too be true, a cleanser with simple, yet almost perfect cleansing capability. After reading the hype I was sceptical, dubious and dead curious to give it a try. Here I go with the simple verdict: yes, it works as it says it does, yes, my skin is completely cleansed, yes my skin feels good and ready for night cream or makeup and yes, its quick and easy. So, looks like a winner all round. It retails at 3.99 UK pounds and I saw in Oz for AUS$11.99. the other day. This water product should be as cheap as chips in its simple clear plastic bottle; lets see if it is.

Tips: It spurts out of the flip top and its easy to over soak the cotton pad, so use carefully. Also, will they bring out a smaller bottle for travelling?

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I must have been hiding under a rock, as I had never heard of Micellar cleansing water. When I started to read some reviews I was intrigued. And I must say this product didn't disappoint! The packaging is nice and feminine looking, pink lid, easy pour dispenser, so you can control how much comes out. It looks clean and clear and inviting to use. It smells a bit like witch hazel toner, which isn't unpleasant. I currently use Double wear foundation , which is notoriously hard to remove, so I was a bit sceptical as to whether "water" would do it. But amazingly it does! I did use four cotton pads, instead of the one recommended, but it removed every ounce of my foundation, and left my skin feeling smooth and comfortable, not at all dry and tight, and neither was it oily. I am a convert for sure! Amazing and so convenient, I can sit in front of my favourite tv show and remove my makeup , so that its all done by bedtime, as sometimes, when I drag myself to bed , I have to force myself to remove my makeup ( and occasionally, not often, I have slept in it, naughty I know how bad it is for my skin) The only issue I have with this product is that it doesn't remove my mascara, which is waterproof, even if I soaked a pad and left it on my eye for 1 minute, it still didn't come off. I think an oily remover is the only way to remove waterproof mascara. But that's ok, I'm so happy with the job it did on my skin, I can cope with removing my mascara separately!
