I recently went on holiday and after hearing so many good things about Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water, I told myself if I came across it I would have to pick it up and see for myself. I bought mine in Australia for about $6, my boyfriend had actually seen it first and laughingly called it 'miracle water' but it really is!
This stuff is fantastic! It looks, smells and feels just like water but it's an incredible cleanser. I wear a full face of makeup most days, and would normally remove most of it before cleansing with a baby wipe which would leave a fair bit behind. I apply a bit of the cleansing water to a cotton round (normally it takes 2-3) and it easily wipes away every bit of makeup without having to rub harshly. Even my notoriously difficult-to-remove They're Real mascara and liner, and my Collection Cosmetics mascara comes completely off with this. The only other things that were able to do this is the They're Real remover or coconut oil, so it's a pretty impressive feat!
After 'cleansing' with it my skin feels fresh and clean, not tight or dry but just refreshed. I actually poured a little of this into a spray bottle to use while travelling to spray on my face to refresh my skin!
I still like to use another cleanser after this as I have oily, acne-prone skin, but after a night out I've gone to sleep after just using this and my skin still felt and looked clean.
Now that I have this, I can't see myself not using it so guess I'll be hitting feelunique to pick some up online (or beg the boyfriend to bring some over from priceline!).
I love this micellar water. I use it twice a day at the start of my skincare routine and it makes my face feel so refreshed before I pile the product on. I also don’t get breakouts any more so I know this as well as the other products I use are doing their job. My face is definitely clean.
Tips: Use it with a face halo if you can find one - I believe Farmers have them now.
