Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water Oil Waterproof 100ml

very good effort to go green. packed very neatly with no use of plastic. Reuse boxes in exchange for bubble wrap. The best micellar water for my skin. Never change after knowing this variant of garnier. Feel skin even more clean compared to only using cleanser

Quality:Quality of product is good. Smells nice and I know this is a reliable brand. Bottle is nicely designed and does not leak. \n\n Texture:Texture is lightly oily, but not sticky or heavy. As expected from any make-up remover. \n\n Effectiveness:Very effective for cleansing face. Does not dry the skin. \n

A DEFINITE BUY!

I don't normally write reviews but I just had to for this product. This micellar water is a staple in my everyday night time routine. I have a oily t-zone and used to have to use a lot of setting powder to solve. This water has balanced out my combination skin so there is no oily t-zone and no dry skin patches on the rest of my face. My make up now sits perfectly and lasts much longer and my skin is amazingly soft.When using this with a cotton pad you can feel the dirt and impurities being wiped off your skin and your face is left feeling refreshed, the scent is nice but not overpowering like some scented products.I don't feel the need to wash my face after using at night time, as the oils sink into your skin and leave my skin soft and cleansed in the morning ... MoreI don't normally write reviews but I just had to for this product.

Don’t be fooled

I was quite disappointed with this product. I usually use Bioderma Micellar water for sensitive skin but I had heard that the Garnier Micellar water for sensitive skin was a great dupe, doing pretty much the same thing for a fraction of the price. When I saw that this one had cleansing oil infused I thought I had hit the jackpot. I was wrong. Long story short, it takes more work to get rid of make-up, particularly mascara, than any other Micellar water I’ve used (Caudalie and Bioderma). It left a residue on my eyes that made them blurry, even after rinsing with warm water. I felt a mild stinging on my skin after using it and discovered that it contains Benzyl alcohol and fragrance which are not great for neither sensitive skin nor dry skin which this product is ... MoreI was quite disappointed with this product.

It leaves a residue that is not comforting to the skin but rather clogs the pores. I gave I it one more try and then I threw it away. I hate wasting but it sat on my shelf for months and I didn’t have the heart to subject any of my friends to it.

Feels nice but doesn't fully remove my mascara

I don't wear a lot of makeup, and I don't wear it often but this has always been good at removing most of my makeup. The one things it doesn't fully remove for me is my mascara. Whether I have waterproof or normal mascara I always end up with some leftover the next day and I try so so so hard to remove it all. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I've tried every way to remove it all and I always have some left to remove the next day (even when the cotton pad is coming back as completely clear - the next day I suddenly have mascara, where it comes from I have no idea)It does make your skin feel nice and soft though but I think I might try something else, if others are worse then I'll come back to using this product :)

Great all round cleanser & make up remover

I was a bit sceptical about using a “water” as a cleanser/make up remover, but this product is fab! Took off all my makeup (including stubborn mascara) quickly and effectively and doesn’t dry my skin out. Face was left feeling clean and slightly moisturised. I received as a sample in my monthly beauty box and have now bought 2 full sizes.

I have no complaints

It is an effective make-up remover for both face make-up and eye make-up. I am obsessed with its scent. It does not dry out my skin nor does it leave in greases. It is like a moisturiser as you do not have to wash it immediately after removing make-up. This is important for a tired person wanting to remove make-up and take a rest before shower. I have bought many bottles.

Leaves weird oily residue

I bought this a few months ago as it was cheaper than the normal pink one at the time, major regret. I only used it as I didn’t want to waste it, but I hated it. It stung my eyes so badly after removing my mascara and leaves a gross oily residue on your skin. I didn’t expect “oil infused” to feel like cooking oil was rubbed all over my face. It did remove my makeup well, but stung my eyes terribly and just overall felt gross. Absolutely avoid this one, stick to the original.
