After seeing the commercials on the TV about the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, I thought this was going to be another gimmick that wasn't going to work. While at Ulta, I saw it sitting on one of the end caps that holds all of the new products so I decided to give it a try. I did not have high hopes that this cleanser would be anything special. However, when I got home that day and used it to take my makeup off, I was pleasantly surprised. It actually took all my makeup off and left my skin feeling super smooth and supple. I wanted to test it out some more before talking about it, so I used it a couple days later to take off a full-on face of makeup. Again, I was shocked to see that it took all of my makeup off without a ton of effort!

The Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water is supposed to be a multi-purpose cleanser that removes makeup, cleanses the face while refreshing the skin at the same time. Garnier claims that this cleanser is a no rinse formula which I can agree with since it does not leave your skin feeling dry or like there is a film on top of it. However, I always suggest using water to wash off any excess when you have the time or water availability. You do not have to rub hard to get any of your makeup or dirt off of you face. It takes everything off with the lightest touch, even stubborn mascara. Garnier also says that it is safe for the eye area, which I usually have trouble with in a lot of products because my eyes can be very sensitive. I was apprehensive to use this to take my eye makeup off since I have had troubles in the past, but I sucked it up and tried it, and to my pleasant surprise, it did not hurt or burn at all. This was a huge plus for me! There is nothing like removing your eye makeup without a struggle and have your eyes feel refreshed afterward. This cleanser is also good for all skin types because it is so light and gentle on the skin. It does not dry your skin out, nor does it leave you feeling greasy or dirty. You wipe your face down, and you instantly feel refreshed and clean.


This Garnier cleanser is great when you are in a rush or on the go because you only need to use one product to get your skin prepped for moisturizer. I love to use this on my lazy days when I don't want to full out wash my face, or when I want to freshen up throughout the day when I'm not wearing any makeup. This cleanser is also good to use to wipe your makeup off easily prior to washing your with your liquid or bar cleansers. The way I use this product to clean my face is by saturating a cotton round with the product and gently rubbing it over my face. After, my face can be a little wet so I like to dab it with a clean towel before I apply my moisturizer.

All in all, I would definitely say that the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water is a bomb product and worth checking out!

Note: Garnier states that this product does not have oil, alcohol, or fragrance.
