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 haven’t got overly sensitive skin but for some strange reason this makes my face turn bright red. It seems like it has great reviews so it may just be my skin in particular. Otherwise it did a great job at removing my makeup, needed a heavy hand for my waterproof mascara but otherwise works well. Although with my skin reaction it is still affordable effective and accessible, worth trying.
