My favourite!

This is my go to micellar water, I am suprised by the bad reviews below me! I have sensitive, dry skin and have to be very careful with what I put on it but I have no issues with this at all.

I use this every night before I go to bed, I use 3 small cotton pads, the first 2 remove any make up I am wearing and the 3rd is to ensure my skin is clean and I got everything off. So quick and easy to use and gentle on my skin.

It comes in a great size bottle which lasts me ages, this one is for problem skin which is why I like to use it. It does not leave my skin dry at all and doesn't leave a soapy residue or sticky face, it has never broken me out.

Sometimes I have trouble finding this at some supermarkets for some reason but New World seems to stock it regularly.

This is my all time favourite micellar water that I will continue to buy and use each night, love it!

Simple

I'm a big fan of Garnier's micellar waters and this one is no different. Why?

I still get the odd breakout so the pure range suits me well. Unlike many acne-targeted products though this is still surprisingly gentle.

I use this with one of my reusable cotton pads and because it's not oil-based it was safe to remove my eye makeup while I have extensions on for my wedding.

No tingly or oily sensation, this took even my heavy foundation right off. Afterwards my skin was feeling clean and fresh. I normally double-cleanse but if I didnt after using this my skin would still have felt clean enough.

Would use again!

LIFE CHANGING!!

I had heard of Micellar water but I had no idea what it was so when a trial came up I was hoping to get in because then I would find out and get to try it without feeling stupid It has been life changing!! I am someone who has pretty oily skin, but I do not have the energy to keep it as clean and looked after as I would like. This product cleans, tones, moisturises AND mattifies my skin and it takes less than a minute to use. I haven\'t even used it for more makeup than some lipstick yet but it definitely gets that off. I just use it to once or twice a day to keep my skin clean and not as oily. It does get rid of the excess oil and it actually has (after a week) started to keep my skin less oily in between uses!! I normally breakout a lot when trying new products but with this being nice and gentle I just got maybe 3-4 red spots that went away after a day or so. It has even helped draw out some of the stubborn blackheads I have, and I feel it has helped other products I use get at those blackheads as well. Within 3 days I noticed the difference and was recommending it to my family and some friends. And I definitely recommend it to anyone who has fatigue/mobility issues who find a more labour intensive skincare routine difficult!

Tips: If using it daily as your skincare routine Due to fatigue/mobility/health issues I recommend every 2-3 days changing it up to a normal cleanser and moisturiser to prevent your skin getting too dry

Effective multi-purpose cleanser!

This is my new favourite miceller water now, after trying quite a few. This removes my makeup completely, including mascara. It’s gentle but very effective. It didn’t break me out and is such an easy way to remove makeup and cleanse my skin in the evening. I would absolutely recommend this product and I will keep using it as part of my night time skincare routine!

Can't get enough of this!

I absolutely adore the Garner Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Waters. They work so well to remove makeup, particularly waterproof mascara and liquid eyeliner. It's a struggle (I'm sure many of you have experienced this) where you wash your face, maybe even more than once, and still wake up with panda eyes. I find that by using the micellar water first and then following up with my normal face wash I can get a really good clean. I also use it after I've washed my face, because it's just so gentle and I can ensure I've got all the last traces of makeup. The only one I haven't tried is the Water in Oil version, which is next on my list once I go through the one for oily/combination skin.

Tips: Use before and after washing your face to remove all traces of makeup.

Micellar Water Convert

As someone who's always used a gel or foaming cleanser I have been quite skeptical about how Micellar Water can completely cleanse your skin, thinking that it was something you used, like a toner, after washing your face. With this in mind this was exactly how I used the product for the first couple of days, I almost didn't trust it to remove my make up properly and with skin prone to breakouts, especially at the moment, I didn't want to chance going to bed with make up on. Boy, was I wrong! I finally read the instructions and used it properly and am so impressed with it! I found it so gentle on my skin, completely non-drying and it removed my make-up with ease. I did have to hold the cotton wool pad over my eyelashes for a few seconds to totally remove it but it was so gentle on my eyelids that that didn't matter at all- there was no rinsing required either so it would be perfect to take travelling with you too.

Garnier claim that a 400ml bottle will get you 200 uses, it is a good sized bottle and really excellent value for money with an RRP of $13.99 (I saw it in the Warehouse the other day for $10!!) so I'm looking forward to seeing if this is true. The packaging is clear and fresh (exactly how your skin feels after using it) and is 100% recyclable- my kind of packaging.

I would totally recommend this Micellar Cleansing water, the 'oily to combination skin prone to imperfections' was the perfect one for me. It cleansed without drying out my skin and made my skin really dewy and glowy afterwards.

Tips: Just use a few drops, you don't need a lot but you might want to wipe you face twice, just to make sure that you have all of your make up off before bed.

Clean and refreshed!

This product was great, leaving my skin feeling well cleansed and refreshed. The formula is very gentle - I often find that products for combination/oily skin can be quite stripping feeling, however, that is not the case with this product. Also, it removed any makeup easily, without the need for harsh rubbing - just a few quick swipes and you're done! I particularly loved this product for quickly going over my face after working out.

Classic Garnier micellar water

Packaging is the same the other Garnier micellar water products just a nice light blue colour. This one was fragrance free. However it still has a smell, but it's very pleasant. Easily takes make up off, I however have not had heavy foundation or anything on while using this yet.

Tips: Use face pads to apply to face!

A great alternative to cleanser

I first tried this cleansing water when I wasn't wearing makeup, only moisturiser and sunblock, to see how much it would remove and I was shocked by the amount of dirt that came out onto the cotton pad. I also tried it one night when I was too lazy to wash my face after wearing makeup, I used a makeup wipe first and thought everything had been wiped off but then I used the micellar water and it removed so much more makeup. It's also a no rinse cleanser and because I was tired I didn't rinse my face or put on moisturiser which I never do, but my skin was surprisingly moisturised. Usually if I don't apply moisturiser after cleansing my skin would feel extremely tight and dry. This is a really great product for when you don't want to go through all the effort of washing your face - especially in winter when it's too cold to be splashing water on your face!

My favourite micellar water!

This is the micellar water that I always go back to using. Sometimes I’ll try a different brand but I always like this one the best! I have oily and break-out prone skin that can be quite sensitive so this one is perfect for me! It is so lightweight and doesn’t leave anything on my skin. In the evening I use a face wash but I use this to cleanse my face in the morning and to remove my makeup at night and it works great for that! After using it in the morning my skin feels cleansed enough to just go straight to putting on makeup, no need to use a more intense face wash. In the evening I’ll use it mainly to remove eye makeup since it isn’t irritating at all. I have tried the other micellar waters by garnier but this one is the best for me since it is for oily skin. Some other micellar waters by different brands irritate my skin but this one doesn’t! It is more expensive than some other ones but I think it is totally worth it. I use it a lot and the bottles last me quite awhile for the amount that I use it

Tips: Works well with cotton face pads and even face wipes! Use it remove makeup along with a face cleanser, or use it as a light face cleanser
