An exciting addition to the Micellar range! Garnier's first bi-phase Micellar solution infused with cleansing oils.

Garnier has made a technological breakthrough in combining the power of cleansing oils with the efficiency of micellar. When the bottle is shaken the two components combine, allowing even the most stubborn make-up to be gently removed without leaving a greasy film. Argan Oil (which is rich in essential fatty acids) and Vitamin E soothes, hydrates and softens the skin. This prevents drying and brings a 'skincare' touch to make-up removal. Cleansing oils are so effective are removing long-wear and waterproof make-up because oil dilutes make-up components that are resistant to water. This allows make-up to be removed more easily by helping it slide off the skin and eyelashes.

Favourite!!

I purchased this on a whim about 6 months ago. I was struggling to get all of my eye make up off at the end of the day and hated scrubbing at my eyes.

This stuff works!! I have used a few other micellar waters that worked for about 95% of my make up but I was left with either panda eyes or skin that felt tight or extra sensitive.

This left my skin free of make up and because of the oil it was left feeling moisturised and soft.

Perfect for hot summer days when you want to take your make up off but can’t be bothered to shower just yet. Also works really well on matte liquid lipsticks.

I still have heaps of the left but will be repurchasing once I have finished this bottle. Wish they did travel sizes of this one too.

Tips: A little goes a long way even on a full face of make up.

Garnier Micellar Water needs large cottons pad to

I wasnt really a fan of the original Garnier Micellar Water to be honest but I thought I would try this one out since they are quite cheap. I run out of my Za cleansing oil and went to get some more only to be told that Za was being discontinued. Guttered. I was recommended Garnier Micellar oil by the lady at the counter and also another customer who highly recommended it saying it removes waterproof make up. It's really good at removing all makeup. Give it a good shake to mix the oil in and use cotton pads to wipe, large ones if you can find them and for mascara you will need to hold the cotton pad on the eyes for a few seconds before wiping, just to make sure it soaks the lashes for a nicer wipe, especially if your like me and pack on the mascara, otherwise the pads pull on your lashes if they are not wet enough and doesn't remove it straight away if they ain't wet. Only thing I dont like about using Micellar oil is that it takes awhile to remove all makeup, in saying that its not the Micellar oil it's the small cotton pads. Wish Garnier would sell large face pads to use with Micellar or even better reusable ones.

Tips: Try it, it's only cheap and its really good at removing makeup but I would recommend finding some large cotton pads because it can take awhile just using the small cotton pads.

Great for waterproof mascara!!!

I absolutely love this clenser for taking of any waterproof makeup I have on! It takes it off so easily because of the oil in it, plus it still is very gentle on the face, not drying and it doesn’t leave an oily residue on the face afterwards like other oil infused cleansers. I also find it helps to take off any residual eyelash glue which is amazing cause that stuff is a B$&@# to get off!

Tips: Note can sting a bit if you get it in your eyes

Removes makeup with ease

I recently picked this up from The Warehouse as they didn't have my normal micellar water which is the blue active bottle.

I like how it comes in such a big bottle as it will last for ages. To use you simply shake it up to mix the oil and water. It looks cool mixing up. I pour some over a large makeup remover pad and swipe it all over my face. This removes my mascara and BB cream with ease.

I have dry skin and this leaves it feeling nourished but not greasy at all. I get no irritation or stinging. It does have a subtle fragrance but nothing offensive.

I am unsure if I will keep buying this or go back to my usual blue one. Perhaps use this on my stubborn eyeliner which is hard to remove. All in all a lovely makeup remover.

Best makeup remover ever!

Oh dear god..this is the only thing that can remove Estee Lauder double wear stay in place without damaging my skin in the process. I had tried numerous micellar waters before (Neutrogena, Garnier sensitive, Garnier oily skin, Nivea, Simple...etc) but only waterproof eye makeup removers are able to remove that mask of a foundation from my face. And they always ends up irritating my skin.

I'm so glad that I found this product and I haven't even looked at other makeup removing products after I bought this. It is an all in one product that can remove stubborn and waterproof eye, lip and other makeup without irritating my skin.

Tips: Just shake the bottle, so the oil and the water mixes well and then put some onto a cotton pad and wipe away. I use 5-6 giant pads (dia 8cm) for my entire face, so that I remove all of the foundation from my face. Followed up with a non harsh activated charcoal cleanser (Elizavecca Elastic Pore Cleansing Foam) Otherwise, I end up with break outs the next day.

The best Micellar water I've tried

I wondered how micellar water could get any better until I first bought this when on special, I wear waterproof eye makup so anything that might help save my pillowcases was surely worth a shot. This micellar has a pleasant smell, shake the bottle to mix in the oil, apply to cotton pads and swipe swipe swipe. Strips every last trace of mascara and liquid eye liner better than any other makeup cleanser I have tried and have repurchased numerous times. Would recommend to anyone who wears full face makeup, particularly eye makeup. Does leave a slight oily feel to the skin which can be unpleasant - I use before jumping in the shower and rinse it off. My main concern would be it might exacerbate my oily skin but it has had no effect on this. I have used this daily for 6 months

Tips: Use before showering if you don't like the oily residue

High Quality, Low Price Tag

I recently went to a make-up artist who used the 'Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil' to cleanse my face before applying make-up. I've only used the original Garnier Micellar Water before and the 'oil' bit made me a tad worried that my skin would become oily and my expensive make-up application would be a shiny waste of money. I couldn't have been more wrong! My skin was soft and smooth but absolutely no shine. I have since purchased this myself (onto my second bottle) and I just love it. I find that this removes make-up much easier than the original. It must be something to do with the added oil. My skin can be quite sensitive to some products but this is very gentle. This product (that I tried only by chance) has become a time-saver for me and a staple among my beauty products. The best part is, you can find it at most supermarkets and it's so affordable!

Tips: Use this with good quality make up remover pads.

Like Water off a Ducks back !

During countdowns 50 % off sale I put this in my trolley of groceries. It’s my sneaky way of getting my beauty products in . I wear make up daily to work. I need something that will quickly remove my full faced make up .

Bottle is clear has the garnier labelling on it . I can easily read the fine print on it . Consistency is a combination of water and oil . Scent is sweet musky fresh . Quite strong .

Application I like to put this on a wipe and it easily cuts through my make up . No need for a second cleanse absolutely perfect .

Overall this bottle is large . I use it daily and it takes my make up off nicely . It’s lasted me over three months . I can see it lasting into the new year . I’m happy with the results . I would happily buy it again . Worth the money .

Tips: Do a patch test first on your skin.

My favourite micellar

I had used the regular/original Garnier micellar water many times before deciding to give this oil infused version a go. Turns out that I prefer this one now.

I really like this super clean and simple looking packaging and with the layer of yellow oil in the bottle, I think that it looks like quite an appealing product to use on my face.

This cleanser is super effective at removing a good coat of makeup, it's very gentle and mildly hydrating at the same time, and I get the feeling that it's good for my skin.

I find that this 400ml bottle lasts and lasts with almost daily use, in which case the value for money is unreal.

I will definitely to continue to purchase this product, it's my favorite micellar water and micellar water is a product that I always have on hand.

Another stunner

No secret I’m a huge fan of micellar water to remove my makeup.. I think I’ve tried all of them. I haven’t really been let down yet. Especially by garnier.

This was no exception.

I think the thing I loved most was that this miraculous micellar water dissolved and helped wash away some of the most stubborn mascara I’ve ever used!! I really need to start wearing my glasses more when shopping because I purchased a waterproof mascara - something I don’t do often.. as much as I love the thought, I hate the thought of removing it even more. But this micellar water worked wonders. Hands down it removed my waterproof mascara with ease! I was gobsmacked as my gel micellar (as much as I love it) struggled.

It left my sensitive skin feeling clean and fresh and not oily or irritated. So that’s another big win for me. I don’t feel like my skins been stripped thank goodness.. even though I follow up with moisturiser etc some washes leave my skin dryer than the Sahara desert.

One thing about micellar water is the application.. I don’t like using a disposable wipe all the time so I’ve brought 2 washable wipes - I just need to stay on top of my washing now eek.

It’s a really decent size and look from garnier. On par with the rest of the micellar range. I have a nice wee line up going on now.

Amazing price if you get on sale like I did at countdown. Even the non-sale price is pretty good for the size.

I’m a month down and still about 2/3 full. So very long lasting.

Another stunner from garnier. This and the gel are up there in my top makeup removers/cleansers.
