So straight off, I'm ignoring half of these claims; I would not for one second recommend using this as an all-in-one cleanser and I'd certainly always rinse afterwards! That aside, I've been using this on a cotton pad of an evening, swept over my face to remove my make-up before moving onto a "proper" cleanse - either oil or cream, followed by a gel cleanser. I'm nothing if not thorough!
I use as suggested on a cotton pad which I wipe over my face, eyes and lips; I can see base product, blusher and eye make-up being removed, although this does struggle with heavy mascara. It doesn't sting my eyes at all which is nice, but I'd use a separate eye make-up remover for heavy eye make-up as this alone won't shift it all.

I'm not sure that this is a product I'd actively seek out to buy again, as there are so many similar options available these days and I like trying new things; that said, it's a perfectly lovely product for the price and I'd by no means avoid it! This is also really widely available making it an accessible one to try; you can easily pick it up at the supermarket with your weekly shop as well as in the usual drugstores. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is super-reasonably priced at just £4.99 (currently a third off at £3.33 at Boots!) for the huge 400ml bottle, with a smaller 125ml bottle priced at £1.99 (currently just £1!) if you'd like to try a smaller size out or want a more travel-friendly size.
Do you use a micellar water within your skincare routine? Which is your favourite? Do you rate the budget brands like this one, or do I need to try a higher-end micellar water?

I use this and the Loreal micellar water, both are great though I find the Loreal one tends to remove my makeup slightly more but I still love the Garnier one too. Though I agree with you that you do need a second cleanse afterwards

I really like the Garnier micellar water because it does the job and you get a lot for your money. I tried the L'oreal one and it was pretty much the same, just that you get less product for around the same price. I use it the same as you-I just like to get the bulk of my make up off before I start cleansing properly so I'm not just smearing the make up round everywhere! Em x

I found this a little too harsh on my skin, ive got the Bioderma one for emergencies and that is all I tend to use Miceller water for currently x
ReplyDeleteI use this Micellar water everyday without fail but I agree with your review that it is not all it is claimed to be. I only use this on my eyes as I found the formulation broke my skin out slightly which is not so fun.

I like to use these kind of products just to cleanse my skin. I think cleansing oil can remove makeup way faster x
