Garnier Micellar Water with Rose Water and Glycerin, Hydrating Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover, For All Skin Types, Vegan, Cruelty Free, 13.5 Fl Oz (400mL), 1 Count

TL;DR: Does what it promises; gently cleans thoroughly without harsh rubbing or harsh surfactants while nourishing & hydrating the skin.You DO need to rinse it off though. The RoseWater & Waterproof ones are the best in the lineup. I’ve finished my second bottle and will be rebuying.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HAS MANY ADVANTAGES & VERY FEW DRAWBACKSPros:•Works•Gentle•Soothing•Affordable•No Sulfates•No Alcohols•No Fragrance•Non-Stripping•Non-Sensitizing•Non-Comedogenic•Subtle aroma/scent•Nourishing ingredients•Doesn’t aggravate acne•Doesn’t exacerbate acne•Doesn’t irritate my eyes•Doesn’t leave much residue•Suitable for very sensitive skin•Suitable for dry & balanced skin•Suitable for oily-dehydrated skin•Dissolves oilbased cosmetics well•Dissolves waterbased cosmetics well•Removes any filth on the skin’s surface•Removes any excess sebum on the skin’s surfaceCons:•Adds less hydration than advertised•Removing heavy mineral sunscreens takes effort•Waterproof/waterresistant cosmetics takes effort•It removes thin ointment like neosporin but it doesn’t fully remove thick ointments, such as, vaseline, aquaphor & cerave healing ointment.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DOES WHAT IT PROMISESCompared to the other micellar waters I’ve tried, it does seem to replace some of the hydration you lose from cleansing off your sebum & sweatAt the end of a day my skin will have some filth, sebum, eyeliner, eyebrow powder, mascara, tinted hybrid sunscreen & pore blurring primer on it.It’s mild unlike harsh makeup wipes that tug at your skin & have tons of preservatives. All I need to do is soak both sides of a thick (“premium”) cotton pad with the solution and wipe with each side to get my face & neck clean. Then I’m ready to rinse with cool water and follow up with either a face wash or a wet microfiber makeup remover cloth (all micellar waters have surfactants that should be washed off the face)The first step of my nightly skincare routine. After I finish cleaning I wipe my face with Stridex (toner) pads. The pad is always free of residue so I’m certain that this is cleaning effectively!Note: The Rose water version will probably only be 4/5 stars for people who prefer to regularly wear very heavy makeup, waterproof makeup or water-resistant mineral sunscreens. Try Garnier’s waterproof version or one of Bioderma’s micellar water.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GOOD FOR VARIOUS SKIN TYPESMy skin type is combinationLips & Chin = DryT-Zone & next to the nose = OilyRest of the face = Balanced/Normalso I needed a makeup remover/pre-cleanser that’s compatible with my entire face and this fits the bill!It sufficiently cleanses my oily areas without stripping the balanced areas and it keeps my dry areas hydratedI mainly use this on my face & neck and it’s works just as well on both areas.My face is acneic and normal-resilient. My neck is acne-free and normal-sensitive.I felt the need to test the acidity of this product before saying it won’t sensitize your skin because many people experience irritation or barrier damage from regularly using cleansers & toners. The healthiest skin has a pH no higher than 5.0. It appears this Micellar Rose Water has a pH right between 4.5 & 5.0 (see picture) so you don’t have to worry about it altering your skin’s healthy acidity level.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A GREAT ADDITION TO THE LINE UPI’ve tried the “All-in-1 Waterproof” version (Clear bottle, Blue Cap) & it’s the best if you want a deep clean very quickly. IIRC it leaves a bit more product residue, lacks skin nourishing additives & doesn’t hydrate; so it’s not the best choice for everyone.The “All-in-1 Mattifying” version (Clear Bottle, Green Cap) I can’t recommend. Acne prone individuals may gravitate towards it because it reduces shine, oil & bacteria temporarily but; none of the ingredients “purify pores” and using tons of denatured alcohol on your face daily is not great for your lipid barrier. People with super oily skin should probably buy one of the other micellar waters and use it as their first cleanser then wash off the residue with a foaming cleanser, benzoyl peroxide cleanser or a salicylic acid cleanser.The “All-in-1 Brightening” version (Translucent Yellow Bottle, Yellow Cap) is okay but vitamin c needs to be on your skin for at least 30 minutes before being washed off to brighten skin or lighten pigment and you’re absolutely not supposed to regularly leave micellar water on your face for more than a couple minutes.The “All-in-1 Sensitive” version (Clear Bottle, Pink Cap) is the most similar to this one in my experience. I would recommend it for people with sensitive skin that isn’t prone to roughness nor dehydration.The nourishing ingredients added to this Rose water version of the product makes it a stand out!Propanediol is a good humectant & emollient making it good for dehydrated skin conditions. It also boosts the effectiveness of things like salicylic acid.Glycerin is also an amazing humectant.Rosa damascena flower water may have skin conditioning, antimicrobial, antioxidant & anti-inflammatory benefits making it great for both dry & acneic skin.Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a good cleansing surfactant for keeping your skin clean but it’s very mild compared to others making it good for sensitized skin.Salicylic acid slows how quickly acne bacteria reproduces & purifies the pores.The Garnier SkinActive micellar water line up needed this product.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cumple su función! Debes tener cuidado si eres piel grasa y sensible, en lo personal no lo utilizo demasiado ya que me genera granos por el hecho de ser piel grasa

Muy buena la uso con alcohol para hacer espuma para mis arreglos de uñas

Rose scent is our house favorite! Gentle cleanser, removes eye makeup well. Value for the money.Does not dry out skin.

It is okay. I found it difficult to fully remove waterproof mascara. I bought it thinking it would work like the blue-cap bottle. If you regularly use waterproof mascara, definitely buy the blue “waterproof” bottle.

Exactly what I ordered.

This is the best face cleaner. It cleans well and hydrates skin to keep from drying out (as soap does).

Must have for make up removal. I love this stuff. I have sensitive skin and this does not irritate my skin. Sometimes I forget to remove my makeup at night and wake up looking a mess…. I take a wash cloth and put some micellar water on it and clean my face. Make up wipes don’t make me feel as clean as a wash cloth with this stuff on it.
