Thank you ChickAdvisor for letting me try Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water.
Garnier Skinactive Micellar Water is an all in one cleansing water that removes makeup and cleanses your skin. I found that the product was very effective at removing my mascara. I applied the product on a cotton pad and with ease my makeup came off. What I like about this product is that it has no oil or alcohol in it. It was gentle on the skin around my eyes which is really important to me. I will continue to use this product.
Garnier's SkinActive Micellar Water was received on a complimentary basis in exchange for this review.
The micellar water comes in a generously-sized bottle and given the modest amount of product used during each use, it offers great value.
The application of the product and its packaging are refreshingly simple. I was not sure what to expect, but it's been a pleasant experience. While I find it less suitable for eye makeup like eyeliner/mascara, it' proves capable in other areas and quickly gets the job done without irritation or scent which are important skincare considerations.
I will definitely keep using it as I enjoy the way it leaves my face feeling so refreshed and clean. I am hopeful prolonged use will show even better results as my skin adapt to this less harsh way of removing makeup than I previously used.
Great experience overall!
Thank you ChickAdvisor and Garnier!
This is a fairly gentle product and I love the convenience of this product. After using this product, you don't need to rinse your face! I love using it for correcting my mistakes when I put on make up. For example, if I need a small correction of a eyeliner, I'd easily just wipe with this micellar water and it comes off. It doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or in need of a rinse. I also love using this to do a quick wipe down of my make up before I work out after work! This leaves my face pretty clean for a sweaty work out without being afraid of black make up running down my cheeks! Nevertheless, it is not an extremely strong product and I would recommend using another make up remover if you have heavy make up. Or have an additional remover product after using this one. It is not the strongest in terms of make-up remover.
I would definitely purchase this product again and I would recommend this product to friends.
Thank you Chickadvisor for the opportunity to review this.
I really liked how gentle it was around my eyes. It took off my face makeup easily without the need to run. However, when it came to eye liner, it didn't do the job well. I had to go at it a couple of times and then eventually I went back to my oil-based remover for the eyes. Though I wouldn't use this on the eyes, for the rest of my makeup I would.
I was very excited to be able to try Garnier's Micellar Water through ChickAdvisor Review Club, as I'd heard so much about micellar water in general.
It left my facial skin and the skin around my eyes extremely clean and fresh feeling, but I found it struggled with removing my mascara (normal, non-waterproof) without also removing a couple of eyelashes each time and leaving a small amount of product.
I usually use a facial oil to remove my makeup, which, having tested the micellar water, I definitely prefer, but the micellar water has the benefit of not having to be rinsed off. However, I didn't like having to use cotton wool with the product - seemed wasteful when I'm just used to rinsing my face with water.
Overall this product is not for me, but I can see why other reviewers really liked it.
I was skeptical about this product when I first got it, i mean, Micellar WATER? Would it be enough to cleanse my face? and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It does a really good job of removing all my makeup, even my eyeliner, which other products havent been able to remove. Product has no smell, and left my skin clean and refreshed.
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!
J'ai reçu ce produit de la part de ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
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.
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.
