Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Review

It does what it sets out to do. However, I always need to clean my face with a cleanser afterwards and I find I still have a lot of makeup left on my face.

I normally wear heavy makeup on the daily especially on my eyes and this does the job on taking them off without irritating my skin.

Perfect for removing eye makeup! Does a great job at removing mascara and eyeliner. Although I have been told it isn’t good for your skin! So I only use this to remove my eye makeup.

I haven’t noticed anything terrible happening though!

I always keep at least 3 bottles of this at a time in my skincare drawer. Although I do love trying new makeup removers all the time, I know this is my OG micellar water, also very easy to fill small travel bottles to take on the go or when I go on trips. Doesn't break my oily skin out and my first step before double cleansing and my skincare routine in the evening. Does a fab job at quickly taking off my stubborn makeup.

This does what it says it will however I much prefer a more luxurious experience with all of my skincare so I have since upgraded to something different. However when I was using this product it removed my makeup well and didn’t leave any residue on my face. Not a product I’d rave about but it gets the job done at an affordable price !

I purchased this product off feelunique.com after reading numerous reviews and when Garnier stated it wouldn't be arriving in NZ anytime soon.

Consistency- This product has a water like consistency as the name suggests.

Application- I poured a small amount onto a cotton round and then applied it to my face.

Fragrance- I didn't notice much of a fragrance with this product, it is just very light and definitely not overpowering.

Coverage- A small amount of this product goes a long way.

Usage- Not a lot of this product is required to remove makeup, I use only about a teaspoon of this each night on a couple of cotton rounds.

Price- The price of this product is reasonable priced because it is such a big bottle. I paid around $10 for this bottle.

Packaging- The packaging of this product is nice, I like the pink colour scheme that has been used. I like that the product has a lid with a small opening so that I do not end up wasting a lot of product. I also like that the bottle is clear and that you can see how much product is remaining.

Results- I was impressed with how well this removed my face makeup, it was super gentle and removed my foundation etc on around 4 cotton rounds. This product removes regular mascara easily without any rubbing, however when I wear waterproof mascara (which is most of the time) I did need to use a seperate eye makeup remover before using this product as this product really did struggle with the waterproof formula.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase- While I did really like this cleansing water I will probably stick to my regular makeup removing wipes and the eye makeup remover I was previously using. I would be more likely to repurchase this product if it was more readily available and I didn't have to purchase it online.

A big container (perhaps too big?) with easy open flip top. I like that the liquid is clear with no added colouring. I find it to be a gentle product which does not sting my eyes. It removes most makeup easily but has a hard time removing waterproof mascara. I prefer the consistency to an oil based product and would use again.

A great product at a price everyone can afford,so hassle free and really does what it says however for me it was still a little harsh on my skin,but then I have really sensitive skin,I think it would suit most other skin types ,just not mine .It felt very refreshing on my face,and certainly took my make up off very easily .i would recommend to others as a worthwhile product .

I was looking forward to using this item after hearing so much about it (I was especially looking forward to using it after seeing Lauren Curtis use it). Needless to say I was a little disappointed? The first few days I used this I removed my makeup completely with it and when holding it on my eye (only for around 10 seconds to get off the mascara) it irritated my eye and made it itchy. The other days I have used it I've been using it after my makeup wipes and it gets off the excess makeup that the makeup wipes did it.

Around the time I stayed using this I've had huge breakouts, I don't know if this is related but hopefully not!

With my dry and sensitive skin I guess I wasn't 'wowed' by this. But being the first thing like this I have used there is nothing to compare it to.

I was so excited when I got the chance to trial this product, I had heard so much hype about it and thought that it could solve all my problems - the biggest one being that I didn't want to pay so much for the BioDerma bottles!

I was really surprised at the size of the bottle, and the fact that it said that there is enough in there for 200 applications. I thought that this meant that the entire bottle would last me for 200 days - one application per day but unfortunately this isn't the case.

As for the product itself its just a fine make up remover, to be completely honest its definitely no better, and also no worse than any others that I've tried in the past. When I went to use it, aka one application on a cotton pad, I swiped it across my eye and I was disappointed with the amount of product that it took off. I then learnt that you needed to hold it down for 5 seconds and then wipe to get all the product off, a but annoying but i could deal with it.

I can say that I think that I'll be sticking to my neutrogena eye makeup remover, but will still use this for light makeup - definitely nothing waterproof!

And I would say that you would probably need 4-5 applications to remove all the makeup off your face entirely.
