    I received this product from Chick Advisor, and wasn't sure what to expect. The product itself looks and feel like regular water. I used it a couple times the first first days instead of washing my face at night. It seemed to work to clean. However, I was especially impressed when I tried to remove makeup with it. I was hesitant but it worked very well. It was gentle on my skin and took off the makeup with ease. Overall I would recommend this product. It's great for a simple refreshing of the skin, especially after a workout.

    I received the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water as part of the Product Review Club. I love finding different methods of cleansing and removing makeup. Lately, I've been using a green line of make-up remover pads, but I was finding they dried out my skin too much - not the case with Micellar Water. I loved how it doesn't involve rubbing, so you don't feel like you are losing layers of skin. I would have to go over my face a few times until the cotton pads I was using were 'clean', but I still found it quite effective. I liked the fresh scent. After a week and a half of using this in conjunction with the daily moisturizer, I found my skin much brighter. At an average price of 9.99 per bottle (for a fair size bottle) I find it very affordable. I would definitely buy this again.

    I was not familiar with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (regular) but I am now going to adding it to my facial cleaning regime!

    I like that it is as simple as pour, press, and wipe! I can remove my makeup in just a few minutes without having to really scrub my skin. The Garnier Micellar cleaning water leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft while doing the job of removing my make up.

    I was also impressed it worked well removing my waterproof mascara - which can sometimes be a challenge with other cleansers.

    I can report I didn't experience any irritation to my skin or suffer from any breakouts while using the product. There is not really a scent to the product, so that is also a bonus.

    All in all; a gentle cleaner that has some power to it!

    I received this to try through chick advisor. I think this product is great and really removes my makeup well without leaving me with that greasy oily feeling or like I'm a dried tomato. I believe this product was created with the intention of a three in one and a quick cleanse I tried it that way but felt my face was still dirty so I chose to use it in a different way and it has now become the side kick to my cleanser. I saturated a cotton pad with the product and used it to remove my brows and eye makeup (you can use it for the entire face) then I used my nightly cleanser. Once I washed that off I took a cotton pad saturated that with the Micellar water again and just took it over my face one last time to make sure all my makeup had been removed. I also I liked how it felt on my skin in the morning to take off any dirt and creams from the night before then followed with my garnier gel moisturizer. Overall I really liked the idea of a water cleanser I think it's more refreshing and different. The packaging was simple and I didn't notice any overwhelming scent of fragrance which I prefer. I have eczema in areas of my face and neck, I did not see it worsen I wouldn't say it made it go away but I def appreciate that it's helping keep it hydrated during my cleansing.

    One of my biggest challenges with sensitive skin is makeup removal, everything is either too harsh or has a fragrance. When I find a product I like, I stick with it! For the longest time I used a Water for removing and toning and eventually they changed their ingredients and it no longer worked - I've been on the HUNT for a replacement and suffice to say - Micellar has become my go-to. After having used it for the past few days I've already noticed no additional breakouts, smoother skin and a less harsh way of removing my daily makeup. I LOVE IT. Thanks for choosing me to review it Chickadvisor!

    I received this makeup remover for free as part of the Chick Advisor's product review club. I have been using it for a week now and it removes my makeup including mascara effectively and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I love the fact that it doesn't need to be rinsed off with water.It left my skin soft and did not dry it out. I usually use makeup wipes but I could see myself switching to this as it is just as easy to use.

    I received this product for free from Chickadvisor as part of the Product Review club. I enjoyed using it. It has attractive packaging, good value for money, and removed my eye makeup with ease. In regards to stubborn eye makeup, it will not work as well FYI. It's not a miracle product but I enjoy using it!

    I received this as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. This is the hands down, absolute best makeup remover and cleanser I've ever used. It's not at all greasy or harsh, doesn't leave a weird residue on my skin, and completely and thoroughly removes all my makeup, including foundation, concealer, eyeshadow mascara, blush and lipstick/lipgloss. There's no colour, texture or ingredient this Micellar Water can't remove. I was skeptical of the claim that it doesn't need to be rinsed, but it's absolutely true! It's like wiping your face with magic water. There was even a night I forgot to put on my nighttime moisturizer because I didn't get the usual tight, "need a moisturizer now" feeling I usually get with other cleansers. I highly recommend it!

    I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now and i must say i have replaced my old time fave toner into this brand. I love how it doesnt have a smell and its so light, first couple of days it made my face itchy like really itchy, and after awhile it kind of just went away and ever since it didnt give me anymore problems. Its light and you'll feel very fresh after.

    I cant say anything bad about this product other than its a little it pricey but for me its worth every penny!

    I received this, plus the Miracle Anti-Fatigue Moisturizer as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I am so impressed with both of these products, but this one has really stood out to me, because it puts all my previous makeup removers to shame!
    Alot of makeup removers are disappointing; they're usually too irritating, feel greasy, have a heavy fragrance, or are expensive. The last ones I bought were marketed as gentle but had a strong alcohol scent that even my boyfriend noticed, and they felt pretty harsh despite not really removing my makeup well. I tend to buy makeup remover cloths, and there are some I like but nothing stands up to Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water.
    This is alcohol/oil/fragrance free, and is meant for all skin types. It can be used on eyes, skin and lips. It's way gentler than the usual makeup cleansing products, because the "micelles" attract and capture dirt, oil and makeup, making it easier to remove without having to rub the skin so much. I find that this product really is effective and its easy to gently wipe the makeup away. I moisten a cotton pad and let it sit against my skin for a moment. It's amazing because I can instantly see everything dissolve into the cotton, and it feels so much nicer than other products.
    It's really effective at taking off all of my makeup, even my most heavy duty mascaras, eye products, and my long-lasting liquid lipsticks. I'm usually skeptical about using makeup removers on my lips because they tend to burn and irritate, but this one feels comfortable and takes off every last bit of my lipstick! It truly leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, unlike any other product like it that I've tried. Plus, it really isn't drying at all. My skin never feels tight, irritated, or looks red after using this.
    I love how versatile this is; it's a non-rinse formula so it can be used to just cleanse and refresh the skin whether you have makeup on or not. I've tried it in place of my usual cleanser to freshen up in the morning, and to cleanse before bed, and it works very well. Usually when makeup or face cleansing products say "no rinse" I still feel the need to, but not with this. It's perfect for when I need to cleanse my face in less time, and it couldn't have been better timing to receive this product, because it was really convenient to take with me on a road trip this past week!
    My boyfriend is always intrigued by the products I buy and receive from ChickAdvisor, and this one was really interesting to him! We talked about how both men and women could find this product useful, and although he hasn't tried it himself he though it was pretty cool.
    This is a product that really delivers and I'll definitely be purchasing it again! It seems pretty long lasting and a little goes a long way, so it's worth every penny.
