I received this product from the Product Review Club for review purposes.
I love micellar waters for makeup removal, and will try them all. That said, I was excited to see if Garnier's could beat "the one" (aka Bioderma). The verdict? It's pretty good! I found the solution works well to breakup makeup and remove it without the need for tugging and rubbing. I found the solution to be gentle on my eyes, and was able to remove long wearing formulas pretty easily. I will totally buy this again, but will likely try the waterproof version next as I tend to wear waterproof mascara.

I normally use a cleanser and water every morning and night so I wasn't sure about something that didn't need rinsed off. But I was pleasantly surprised. It did pretty good job and didn't leave any residue like I thought it would. It has no harsh smell and left my skin feeling clean. It didn't work well on waterproof mascara, but all other makeup seems to come off really well. Great for when I'm too tired to do a full face washing routine. And great for camping!
I don't think it will replace my cleanser, but it is a great supplement to my arsenal of products!
Thank you PRC!
I really enjoyed using Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water compliments of Chickadvisor. I was expecting to be oily even though its says water in the name but it isn't. It feels light, clean, fresh with a very light scent. The scent is flowery but not strong enough to irritate any allergies. Since it was considered a water, what makes it different from regular water? I washed my face in water before using the product to see how much makeup I get off. Then I used a cotton pad and applied my face with the water. All my makeup came off onto the pad. Not really sure what Micellar is but it must be what takes the makeup off. I rubbed my eyes with it and no stinging at all. I'm very impressed with this product. The bottle is large size so it will last a very long time.
I was lucky to get selected for this product review and was glad I did as I will definitely be purchasing this product in the future. The Garnier Skin Active Micellar Water is a fantastic product. I didn't have any spare cotton pads around so I used a tissue which worked just as well. I dabbed a bit on and within one wipe, there was a lot of oil and make-up residue that was removed. The Micellar Water was instantly refreshing and cool. It also leaves your skin feeling clean and moist. After use, you don't even have to wash your face and it can be applied to your lips as well. Even if you don't wear make-up, this is a great product to feel clean as if you just washed your fresh. As a tip, I plan on putting this in a travel size bottle and keeping it in my purse for every day use like work, or while I travel. If you are on a long flight, you can easily use this in your seat and feel refreshed. I would highly recommend this to my friends. Retail the product is about $9.99 but with a good sale, this is a relatively inexpensive product.
Unfortunately, I didn't find much of a difference between this product and any other makeup remover or even just water. I experienced a slight sting when I first used it and while it did make my makeup off, I didn't find any reason to feel it did it better then any other remover, unfortunately. I didn't have to rub my makeup off with it, but I did have to use quite a bit to make sure it all got off. I don't think for the retail price I would choose this makeup remover over some of the other ones I've tried.

J'ai essayée le produit mais j'ai l'impression que mon visage n'est pas nettoyée, je ne raffole pas de l'eau pour me nettoyer le visage car je travaille dans un restaurant et ça me donne la peau grasse. J'aime mieux une crème pour nettoyer mon visage. Mais je suis bien contente de l'avoir essayée.
I really enjoy using the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water. It is great at removing my makeup with ease and cleansing my face. I use It nightly before bed and may replace my makeup remover wipes for this product. I put some of the product on a cotton pad and my makeup came off a lot easier than with some other products I have used in the past. It is very gentle. My face feels refreshed. No harsh smells. Leaves my face feeling clean and effectively removes all makeup! I typically pay at least $9.99 or more for about 24 cleansing cloths and the Micellar water is only $9.99 and works better and would last more than 24 uses so I think it's a great value as well.

After a full day of wearing makeup I know how important it is in having to remove it by the end of the day. Normally I just use a makeup remover cloth and wash with a normal daily cleanser. I had no idea my skin was not 100% clean after doing these 2 steps everyday.
After doing my usual routine of wiping my makeup with a makeup remover cloth and using my cleanser I decided to put the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water to the test to see how much was left over. I was amazed to see how much makeup was still left over! I have been able to use it for a couple days now and I have started noticing a difference in my skin. On the days I don’t apply makeup I only have to worry about using the Micellar Water to clean off any oils and dirt away. After use my skin felt much cleaner and it never dried out my skin.
The Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water comes in a large 400ml bottle. The Micellar Water is very clear like regular water. I find that it doesn’t have much of a scent to it. I love how it cleanses, removes makeup and refreshes your skin without having to use too many products together. I do however, choose to pre wash my face beforehand for that just in case.
I do plan on buying this product again, I feel that I can use this every day to clean my face in the morning and to remove my makeup in the evening. I would also think this would be great in the summer months while we go out camping.
Before I got this item, I had never heard of Micellar water before. I went online and what the articles said intrigued me and I wanted to try it. Although it really does look and feel like applying water, the ingredients do more than just water alone. This a good cleansing water for times when you are not wearing makeup. I found that when I wore makeup it did not get all traces of makeup off my face and I would need to follow with a face wash. It is quick and easy to use. My favorite use for this product is to use it as a morning cleanser. I am someone who doesn't enjoy washing my face in the morning with face wash and water because i end with a wet shirt and my sink is wet, then i have to dry my face off and dry the sink off. So after using this for a few days as a face cleanser in the morning, which means i just wipe my face with a cotton pad and a squirt of simple water i found my skin to be more dewy and clear.
What a great product. It was easy, simple and so fast. I did it in the morning and at night. My face was smooth and of course really clean. I loved the fact that I didn't have to wash it off after! You put it on your cloth, wash, and through away! Couldn't be better!
