Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

I have never used a micellar water before so did not know what to expect from it. I was excited after reading the bottle and looking at a few reviews. First Time I used it it was on a bare face but still ended up with a dirty cotton pad- very impressed it clearly did clean my skin. Had a slight residue after use but that dried and left my skin feeling nice. The next time I used it to get off my make up which took a long time to end up with a clean cotton pad but it definitely did the trick. Works on eye makeup too just didn't seem to work to get my water proof mascara off-but I have struggled to find something that does get it off other than oil. Cute packaging like that it comes in a small size for travel/storage

I like this product. It's a clear liquid in a cute pink bottle. You put it on a cotton pad and just wipe it across your skin. Simple as that. Your makeup comes off on to the pad. It may take a couple of swipes for heavier makeup. I also found that holding for a couple of seconds on closed eyes made removing eye makeup easy too

This cleansing water is actually really refreshing on my sensitive skin. I thought it might burn but it had a cooling feeling and I was able to put some onto a cotton pad and wipe it over my eyes and my eyes didnt get sore! No irritation occured which was really good. The water itself dried after a few minutes without the need to rinse it off which is actually really helpful and saves time for me. The makeup remover side itself works well, I usually have a full face of makeup and it takes away all the layers which is really nice. I wouldnt use it with toilet paper though because it goes grainy. So cotton pad or baby wipes work well with the water.

I am now a big fan of this cleanser. I love the fact that It doesn't need to be rinsed off, which also makes it super fast to do if you have a busy life and don't have half an hour to stand about scrubbing your face. It is really gentle on my skin, I normally get a reaction to quite a few face products but not this one. There was a little sensitivity around my eyes for the first few uses but I think my skin has adjusted to the new product really well. I find it is best for removing foundation, eye shadow and lipstick but It doesn't do a very good job with eyeliner and mascara. But that could just be put down to it being a gentle product and my eyeliner tends to get pretty heavy duty. I can see the bottle lasting me quite a while, definitely value for money. I currently use it twice a day and it doesn't leave me greasy or dried out which is fantastic.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this micellar water- I had not tried this one previously but Had tried the simple brand one.

packaging is sleek and modern and appeals to the modern woman, comes in a couple of different sizes also which is great for travelling.

I found this great for removing makeup, but I did find it a bit bubbly, soapy when had used a lot to take off a full face of makeup. I wouldn't say its no rinse in this situation, I certainly felt like I needed to recleanse my face with my regular cleanser. If you shake the bottle it is kind of bubbly.

It does feel nice and I don't feel the need to recleanse when I use just a little for freshening up or say first thing in morning when my face isn't dirty yet.

it did make my face feel quite "squeaky" and very tight, even after moisturising it still felt a wee bit tight.

I have to say that it is phenomenal at removing water proof mascara (theyre real by benefit) it did a better job of removing that than any of my oil based eye makeup removers and even my trilogy balm. it was very impressive.

I would certainly purchase this again purely for how well it takes my waterproof eye makeuo off, I like it for a quick refresh so would use it for travel, but not as a no rinse cleanser.

Just makes my face feel too dry, I would recommend this to friends and family.

I've alway been a cream cleanser sort of gal. But actually have to say this stuff is pretty good. I have tried it all over my face at bedtime to remove makeup but unless I am so pooped can't wait to get into bed, still prefer a cream cleanser. Saying this I am on to my 2nd large size bottle which I use for an eye makeup remover. Perfect for removing eye makeup even mascara.

This is my go to make up remover right now. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean in the morning and doesn't give me panda eyes in the afternoon. Highly recommend !

Decided to give this brand a go after using another and loving the results. This also did a great job, quickly removing my foundation and lippie but took a bit more work to get rid of the waterproof mascara. I found its a bit tingly on the eyes and you really do need to soak the pad well if your mascara is as tough as mine. Would definitely buy again as its only a tad more work required for very good results
