Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water Review

Another micellar water from Garnier, I loved the oil version of this so was nice to trial this one out. Pretty blue colour, nice big bottle, the slightest scent sorry I can't even tell what it smells like. Very good at removing makeup especially my mascara, just takes awhile if using makeup remover pads like I did. I don't wear waterproof mascara so I'm not sure how well it works removing water proof makeup. But there's 3 reasons why this isn't my go to.. 1) My favourite makeup remover atm is the Garnier micellar gel!! 2) I don't like rubbing my lashes and I just find it time consuming using pads and I did get a little sting in the eyes. 3) I prefer a quicker makeup remover like the Garnier gel micellar where I just cleanse with water and remove with water This is handy though if you have a power cut and for those lazy nights where you can just tip some on a flannel and done.

Lovely gentle water which removes makeup with ease. Beautiful scent makes you feel clean and fresh. This water does not make you feel sticky like some others do. Very generous amount in the bottle for the price! I definitely recommend this micellar water.

I have been using this cleanser for a few days now and it defiantly does what it says.

Firstly, I love the blue of the bottle, a change from its pink counterpart but I liked this as it gave off a fresh feeling. The scent is amazing but not too strong, something I need as I get migraines and some scents can set these off.

I use this micellar water every day after work whether I wore makeup or not. My face can get quite oily and is very acne prone, something that the product advocates and I can say that even in this short space of testing this product, it is now going to be a holy grail for my skin. I dab some into my face halo and wipe it around my face.

This acts as a great makeup remover, removing every inch of makeup. It is also great at remove any oily residue and dirt after a long day at the office leaving my face feeling fresh. It doesn’t dry sticky on the face which is a bonus and leaves my skin feeling soft and fresh. This is a great addition to my face washing routine, and I am more than likely to repurchase once my bottle runs out, the low price point helps a lot with this decision!

I was excited to see Garnier bring out a version of their micellar water for oily/acne prone skin. I was even more excited to see that I could use it to remove eye makeup as well as being used on the skin, and I was most excited to find that I could actually use it on my eyes without it causing irritation.

As expected, it is the consistency of water. There’s not scent that I could pick up (I had to go back to the bottle to test it, and only found the slightest hint of a scent).

I love that it is non-irritating, making it easy to remove my eye makeup with. I was expecting it to sting my eyes since it’s the formulation for oily skin, but it didn’t which was great. It’s nice not to need an extra eye makeup remover.

I find the product is best for days when I’ve only worn light makeup (such as just a tinted moisturiser) or no makeup, or to use before a cleanser. I tested the micellar water on a day I was wearing a full face of heavy makeup, and ended up using six cotton pads and it still wasn’t fully removed.

I also like using it on a bare face before applying a face mask, to make sure my skin is clean before applying the mask.

I find the bottle cap is sturdy which is great, and it will last a long time so the price is very reasonable. Depending how much is put on the pad, it can leave a slight residue on the skin but it disappears on its own and doesn’t leave my skin sticky which is great.

I didn’t see any noticeable improvement in my skin, but since it wasn’t at all irritating (and didn’t make my skin look or feel any worse) I will keep using this version instead of the original formula.

I would absolutely recommend it for removing makeup before cleansing, or for lazy days when you just don’t feel like going through a full makeup removing routine.

I have used a micellar water in the past and it caused breakouts, which are very uncommon for me. I decided to give this one a go, only using it in the morning. With a 2 week old newborn at home, this was a great timesaver however, I still used a cream cleanser at night as I didn’t want to dry my skin out too much. I haven’t had a chance to use it as a makeup remover, but I’ve enjoyed it as a general cleanser.

I have used the garnier micellar water before and never had a problem with it. This one is no different! I found it very gentle on your skin and non-drying. It never irritates my eyes and removes mascara and stubborn eye make up well. Pretty much suitable for any skin type including sensitive skin. Its really simple to use and removes light make up effectively. I don't find it as efficient for for a full face of heavy make up. You have to use it a couple of times to get a fully clean face.

Its a simple product that does what it claims to do. I didnt really like the residue feeling on my face after using it so always follow up with washing my face. If this didnt bother you, you could use it as a quick cleanser in the morning, after the gym etc.

The bottle is 400mL and claims to have 200 uses in it which is amazing for the cheap price. I would totally recommend it to any one that loves using micellar water or is looking for a quick easy way to wash your face/remove make up.

I accidentally bought this bottle instead of the one aimed at dry skin types, but it still worked really well and I used up the entire bottle. I wear a lot of eye makeup and thought this product was amazing for removing that at the end of the day. Just shake the bottle and squeeze a bit onto a cotton pad or face cloth and gently rub in circles to remove makeup and purify/cleanse your skin. My skin always feels fantastic afterwards and this removes any and all makeup without having to scrub really hard. Doesn’t hurt my eyes or dry out my skin.

I’m a makeup remover wipe kind of girl so it would take a bit for me to change my mind. This did, It’s gentle, doesn’t have a scent and does what it claims.

I have oily to combination skin and this works so well to cleanse my face prepping it for My moisturiser.

I reason I marked it down was because I had to really work to get my eye makeup off, although I do wear a lot of mascara and only a few products can tackle it one go.

All in all a reliable product that will be a good staple!!
