Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water Review

This is a great product to just have as a staple on your counter. Did it blow my socks off? No.. but it did definitely do what it claimed.

It felt pretty gentle but still pulled my makeup off (multiple wipes needed, about 5 cotton pads). No scent which was nice and after a minute to dry no residue which I really appreciated.

I have sensitive skin and this didnt break me out or cause tingling.

I used this product predominantly to remove makeup in the evening and I preferred to follow it up with a cleanser, but I did also try it in the morning without cleansing afterwards and it definitely took dirt off my face and left me feeling clean.

Overall it's a great price and I rate it for makeup removal but I wouldnt ditch my cleanser to use this in isolation.

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!!

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!

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.

I love love love garnier micellar water and I usually use the normal version - the pink one. I have combination oily skin so decided to try this new one when it was released. However, I found that the alcohol in the solution dried out my skin. I use micellar water to remove my make up and then cleanse again when I shower. I found that this still removed my make up just like the normal micellar water version. It removes all makeup easily even water proof mascara. I have sensitive skin and didn’t react at all to this product - I have found my skin is irritated when using other brands.

I will definitely not be using this again and will switch back to the normal version due to the fact that it dried out my skin.

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!

I found this product completely useless. Its as great at removing make up as plain old water from the tap (which is pretty bad). My skin did not feel clean. It dried out my skin no end and i left feeling very unsatisfied as i was so hopeful for this product to work.

This is too harsh on any skin type IMHO. I have severely oily skin and this manages to makes my skin dry out so bad I ended up having that skin tightening feeling afterwards. Which in turn made the skin create more sebum to fight the dryness. And I ended up being a oily ball after an hour. So stay away from it if you don't want that effect on you.
