Stings sensitivity

I love the idea of it. Quick and easy to use, no fuss, just need the bottle and cotton pads. However, it stung my skin and especially my eyes when removing mascara. Also felt like it was stripping my skin making it way too tight and dry.

Tips: Use with cotton pads

Amazing!

This product is so nice! I've never had a product that has removed my make up so good and left my skin feel amazing. I love how you don't have to use so much product, it was also really great because my skin normally hates make up removers and stings, but this one it didn't! I will be re purchasing :)

Tips: Make sure you use a make up remover pad :)

A decent makeup remover

As far as makeup removers go, this one is a pretty good contender. I usually use makeup wipes as I wear a lot of makeup and find makeup removers quite oily on my skin and I go through them very fast.

However I found the Cleansing Water was very light on my skin - no oily residue at all, it did really feel like water. It did a good job of removing my makeup and was gentle enough to use around my eyes. I did find I used between 2-3 cotton pads each time to remove my makeup which means I go through a packet of cotton pads quite fast however the bottle is very large so it will last me for ages which is very cost effective. People who wear less makeup would only need to use 1 or maybe 2 cotton pads.

The bottle says you don't need to rinse your skin after cleaning which I was a bit skeptical about however you really don't need to rinse! My skin felt nice and smooth and clean afterwards without rinsing which I really enjoyed. Overall I think this is a great makeup remover that is kind to your skin :)

Tips: I like to use one cotton pad for removing face makeup, then another for removing eye makeup, sometimes for an extra clean feeling I used a third pad to sweep the cleanser all over my face to make sure all my makeup was removed and my skin was feeling fresh and cleansed.

It wont replace my cleanser

Easy to use, just pour a bit on a pad & get wiping. I like to use it after a cleanser - just to make sure I get everything. As a makeup remover it does work, but I just dont get the clean feeling I'm used to. This is probably due to it being gentle and actually good for my skin.

I did find it brilliant as a makeup brush cleaner!

Couldn't recommend enough!

To be honest, when I first heard about Cleansing Water I was a little sceptical - being essentially just water and having no scent. So as soon as it came in the mail, I was determined to try it. I put on some heavy eye liner, and as directed wiped my eyes with it. To be honest, I couldn't believe my eyes (literally); the eyeliner came of in just a few soft wipes. So, so far so good.

The next test was the next night after I had gone out with a full face of Make-up. I was excited to really give this cleanser a real go, and I was not disappointed. Other make-up removers I have used left my face, particularly eyes, greasy and shiny, red from rubbing and sore (particularly if some had gotten into my eyes accidentally). But this cleansing water was the complete opposite. My face and eyes felt fresh and as though I hadn't really even had make up on. There was no red-ness or grease, and it felt fantastic! I was able to take off all of my eye makeup and foundation etc so easily and I couldn't believe how fast it was either.

I also found it great to fix little mistakes when applying eye makeup. By putting a little on a cotton tip and dabbing the particular area of my eye, it easily removed the unwanted eyeliner, without really disturbing my eye shadow and getting all greasy - like what I had experienced in the past - and in turn ruining that whole eye's make up. With this I was able to fix the little mistakes without a hitch which was fantastic!

I love the fact that it natural and feels great on your skin - no smelly chemicals.

The easy-to-pour bottle is great, and it's awesome how you can simply pop it into your overnight bag if need be.

I will definitely continue to use this! Thanks Beauty Review for introducing me to this amazing new product! I will most definitely buy a new bottle once this has run out.

Not really convinced

When I read all the hype surrounding this product I guess I was expecting a miracle. My expectations were pretty high. I soaked a cotton pad with Micellar water and wiped it across my made up face. When I looked at the pad after wiping I expected to see a lot of my makeup there, however there was only the faintest residue of it. I wiped again, this time quite firmly, still very little came away. The next day I decided to experiment. On half my face I used Micellar water and on the other half, tap water. After wiping, the two pads looked identical. In short, this doesn't seem to offer me anything that good old tap water doesn't already offer in abundance.

Affordable and Effective

I was initially dubious of Micellar Water, it sounded a lot like just buying expensive water with a bit of oil mixed in.

Having now tried it, I have found it is better than water a removing make up and ideal for a quick cleanse when you're on the go.

I wouldn't replace my normal cleansing routine with this, but for night when I don't have time to cleanser, this is a time and skin saver.

What I also like about Garnier's is that it is very affordable.

If you have doubts, the little bottle is less than the cost of 2 coffees, so it's worth giving it a try.

Versatile and effective!

To be honest, I was sceptical of this product at first. However once I used it I was converted! It is a great cleanser for when you are on the go, great for those who travel. It's also a fantastic brush cleaner and restored my brushes to almost new!

Really affordable as well which is a bonus since you will be using it all the time!

Tips: Wonderful brush cleaner!

Love this cleansing water.

I was super thrilled to have finally got my hands on this product. Seen so much hype on media about this Garnier Micellar cleansing water that i just had to try it out.

The packaging of this products is nice and simple which i like. Doesn't have any scent at all which is good and its perfume free. So this cleansing water is suitable for all skin type.

My first time using this i was extremely happy. It removed all my eye,foundation and lip makeup which great. It left my skin feeling so fresh and smooth. Really easy to use and no need to rinse it off. You can probably get about 200 uses from this bottle which is great , so you would definitely be getting your moneys worth.

I would definitely be purchasing this product again and i would highly recommend this product.

good product, great price

I had been wanting to try this product for a while so when i got the opportunity to trial it i jumped at the chance.

Lets start off with packaging: i like the packaging, it comes in a clear plastic bottle, great for seeing how much product is left, and it has a flap lid that you push open. this packaging works very well and the sizing is very generous at 400ml. This will last for quite a long time. the only thing that i don't like about the packaging is that when you open the small cap there is a hole where the product comes out but it comes out incredibly fast! i always end up using more on the cotton pad than i mean to!

Now the contents of the bottle: when you first open the bottle you notice that it doesn't really have a smell like most similar products, so is ideal for sensitive skin. it is a completely clear product as you would expect and has the same consistency as water so very runny. i have found that it is best to get a small cotton pad, place it over the opening and squeeze slightly trying not to release too much product, then i run the cottonpad all over my face after i have cleansed. This removes any leftover foundation or eye makeup. This product works incredibly well, i have to say that it has now replaced all of the toners that i used to use. I have also found that it has replaced my mac cleanse off oil which is a product that you use directly on makeup to remove it before cleansing. if i am wearing a very stubborn foundation such as estee lauder double wear which i would normally use the cleanse off oil on top of to remove, i have found that by using this product and a cotton pad does the same job!! for a lot less money. so really there are 2 different ways to use it, before cleansing or after cleansing, depending on the stay power of the foundation.

All in all i will definitely be purchasing this again, the only thing that i didn't really like was that it is easy to accidentally use too much product, but for the price of the product it is worth it. Worth a try i would say!
