I received the Garner SkinActive Micellar Water for review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, and have been using it for the past two weeks. I've heard so much about the effectiveness and convenience of micellar water as a "no water needed" make-up cleanser and was very excited to try this product. I do not use a lot of make-up on a daily basis - some BB cream, waterproof gel eyeliner, a bit of blush, and some lipstick. I've been using the Tatcha Pure One-Step Camellia Cleansing Oil since Christmas and it has quickly become my cleanser of choice for its ease of use. I was hoping that the micellar water would serve as a convenient alternative for times when I'm too lazy or tired to do a complete face clean. Unfortunately, the micellar water was not as quick or effective in removing my make-up. I ended up using quite a few micellar water-laden cotton pads to clean my face, but it did not clean off all of my eyeliner. I needed to use a more traditional face cleanser to remove the rest of the make-up. I think the product works well if you wear minimal make-up and do not use a lot of waterproof make-up. Otherwise, consider this to be the first step in your cleansing ritual and follow up with a face wash product.
I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have been using this Micellar Water for 7 days now and absolutely love it !! I wash my face with it every morning and it leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. I also use it to wash off makeup at the end of the day and I am surprised how easily it comes off with no scrubbing or irritation. I use cotton pads to apply the water and it takes only a small amount to do the job. Garnier has done a great job with the product size, effectiveness, and price point.
I would definitely recommend this product to friends and I will be keeping it as part of my daily beauty routine.
I received this product as part of the product review club. My normal-oily combination skin loved this. It made my face feel so good after applying it. I used it under my moisturizer in the morning and also to take my make-up off at the end of the day. I had no issues with removing my make-up, except for mascara. And I do not use any fancy type of mascara, just a regular one and I still had issues with it. It pretty much did what it promised - perfectly cleansed and refreshed skin without rubbing or rinsing - well maybe not perfectly but it did a great job. At $9.99 a bottle it is a great buy!.
Thanks to the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club I was able to try this product for free. I had seen advertisements when micellar water products first came out and I really wanted to try it. But then I forgot about it until now.
The concept is amazing, being able to remove makeup and cleanse your face with just a few swipes and not have rinse off. Unfortunately, I found that this doesn't remove my makeup as easily as it claims. It didn't remove my mascara (non-waterproof) very well. I had to almost scrub my eyes with the cotton pad to get any mascara to come off and then that caused the product to get into my eyes. I can tell you that it definitely stings. Thankfully just a quick flush of water in the eyes takes the sting away. So while I don't like this for removing my eye makeup it does do a great job of cleansing the rest of my face. I really like that it doesn't dry out my skin. Most astringents make me immediately reach of the moisturizer bottle but this one just makes my face feel soft and smooth.
This stuff is amazing!! I've been using the cloths to remove my makeup, but feel guilty about the waste. I received a bottle of this from chickadvisor and have used it 3 nights in a row and LOVE it! It's so easy, and uses ONE cotton pad - OK if you wear a ton of eye makeup you may been a separate pad to just do eyes, but my average everyday makeup is just light eyeshadow and mascara so one side of the pad does eyes, and the other side does my whole face. It feels SO clean after, and not tight or anything at all! I'm SO happy I got this.

So first off some things to be known about me:
1: I wear a lot of makeup; not because I have to, but because I want to! CAKE ME!
2: I live for waterproof Mascara, due to watery eyes tryna play me
3: I have combination skin, but don't really break out that easily.
Now with that being said lets break out the review!!
I have to say when I first got this I was all "this ain't gonna last me!" Mainly cause I use a cotton pad per eye and a makeup removing whip for errythang else.
I was pleasantly surprised. I did a little LIVE REVEIW on Snapchat for those who follow me (bonnie-tastic)
I used 2 pads.
2 Cotton pads.... That's it!
To remove my entire face of makeup.
Now I am not talking a little foundation and some mascara here people.... I am talking FULL ON CAKE FACE HUNNY!
Primer, Foundation, highlight, concealer, powders, bronzers, blushes, contours, 10 different eye-shadows, 3 different brow products including Dip Brow and Brow Gel, Gel Liner, 2 kinds of waterproof mascara, LASHES (so the glue) Liquid lipstick and a setting spray to lock that shit on TIGHT!
2 cotton pads. That's it
and not like GIANT ones either, you regular Dollar/bag ones.
It effortlessly removed my makeup and cleansed my skin in no time flat.
I have been using this for about a week and a bit and no signs of breakouts, and barely a dent in the bottle, probably a little less than an inch of fluid gone.
I would have to say that it does as it is advertised and the price point isn't bad either.
My normal eye makeup remover costs about the same and is a fraction of the product. not to mention the addition of makeup removing wipes that are another $5-$10.
I say if you like trying new things, give this a go!

I received Garnier skin active micellar water thanks to Chickadvisors product review club. Right off the bat, I was impressed with how much product you get. The packaging is also very cute. It is non-irritating as well. I found that it did a great job removing lipstick (even lip stains) and foundation but when it came to removing eyeliner and waterproof mascara I had to work a lot harder and even then it did not remove it all. I would recommend this product if your main concern is to remove foundation/lipstick but not so much for waterproof eye makeup. For the price and how much product you get, this is still a great product.
I tested this item as a Product Review Club member -
I received the All-in-1 solution suitable for Sensitive Skin and was honestly amazed how well it worked. I bet the Waterproof makeup version is even more effective. I didn't have much faith it would work, as the only other micellar water brand I tried was as useless as plain water.
Just using a disposable cotton pad I was able to remove my eye makeup almost as easily as with a bi-phase makeup remover. But no stinging or greasy eyeballs afterward! I did use 2 soaked pads to be sure I had thoroughly removed all my face makeup as I'm used to usually using a regular cream or oil makeup remover.
The 'Avoid Contact with Eyes' warning seems ridiculous for an eye makeup remover and my one other issue was it did leave a bit of a slick feel to my face - residue? I tried leaving it and applying my moisturizer but found the combo didn't let my skin fully absorb the product. Giving my face a quick wipe with a damp washcloth before moisturizing did the trick!
The no water needed to cleanse ability would make this a good item to have when camping/traveling! The large bottle and great low price can't be beat. I would buy this again - going to try the Waterproof makeup version next!
Got this compliments of chickadvisor and garnier. Thank you for this. It works really well. Didn't irritate my skin at all which is a bonus. Removed makeup even eye make easily and there didn't seem to be any residue left behind. It's very light and I let my acne prone teen try it as well and it works wonderful for her as well. I like that it isn't harsh on her skin. Worth the price for sure
