Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water with Rose Water and Glycerin, Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover, All-in-1 Hydrating, 13.5 Fl Oz (400mL), 1 Count (Packaging May Vary)

Full Review & Comparison to the other Garnier Micellar Waters. 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.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BEST AND EASIEST FACE CLEANSE EVER. This is the third time I have purchased this product… I tried the vitamin C and the sensitive one previously and they are all fantastic. I would’ve got the vitamin C again because it was great but I thought I would try this moisturizing one 🙂 it literally takes off any make up that you have on in one sweep whether I use a little puff or just a towel or sometimes even toilet paper lol it amazes me that it does not sting the eye in anyway but it doesn’t and I don’t have to wash my face over and over and over. I also don’t have to get my face wet if I’m not in the shower it’s truly the most fantastic facial cleanser I’ve ever seen or tried, it does not dry your face out and instead makes it fresh with great buoyancy I recommend it to everyone!

Gentle Effective Hyration Cleanse for Dry Skin. I love Granier products, cruelty-free and very well priced. My favorite is the double pack with rosewater and glycerin. Very gentle on aging okay very mature dry skin. I don’t wear much makeup but they do remove what makeup I do wear, Sometimes I need to use this twice depending on how much makeup I’ve worn that day, not a problem, I apply another small amount ( a little goes a long way) onto my face pads & off it comes, never leaving my face feeling tight and stripped, but leaving it feeling clean, refreshed and hydrated! I love that Garnier has begun using rosewater and glycerin for many of us with really dry skin. I always buy a 2-pk more bang for my buck, and love it when Amazon has it on special. Believe it or not, my husband has been using it morning and night to cleanse his face, Boy, I never saw that coming, but I was wondering why my product was getting low so quickly until he fessed up, lol! All in all, this is a great very gentle cleanser with added hydration for those of us with dry skin, never ever feeling taught or uncomfortable, and again I praise Garnier for being cruelty-free!

Love it 😍. My go to cleansing water , I love it , i use it for all my clients before doing makeup , it’s just mild nothing too harsh to he used on the face , super affordable 🥰🥰

Great for very sensitive skin. I love how it removes makeup and improves oily skin without stripping it. It is wonderful for my very sensitive skin. The only thing it won’t remove is some brands of waterproof tubing mascara. I think it takes a more oily remover like Lancome. This does not leave an oily residue but does not feel tight and dry afterwards either. It has a pleasant very mild, and not at all overpowering rose scent. It feels like water but it can unblock my pores and help keep them minimized with regular use. If I’m oily in the t-zone, sometimes it leaves some yellow on the cotton pad from my pores. Otherwise, this is clear.
