REVIEW: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water & Garnier SkinActive Oil- Infused Micellar Cleansing Water



I have been aware of the Micellar craze for a while now, and even when i saw the original La Roche- Posay and Bioderma version i was instantly hooked. 

It certainly does not disappoint either. 

If you want clean fresh skin, that you can actually see for yourself, that also doesn't drag the skin, then this is for you. 




Also Garnier released the Oil- Infused version which was a little dearer, but claims that it is ideal for drier, more sensitive skins- which at the moment suit me.

BUT

It also states it is 'non greasy' which i am afraid seems a tad bit of a porky pie....

It leaves a slick shiny look to your skin, which if you are a fan of, then by all means, crack on. I, myself am sadly not a lover of this. 

So what are the pros and cons of both you ask?

Pros of the Micellar Water:

  • The price, which is usually on a promotion in most places, usually retails for around £3.99 mark
  • It does the job! 
  • A little goes a long way, - but with both i would advise to use a facial wipe first to take the majority of your makeup off. 
  • Decent amount in the bottle

Cons of the Micellar Water:

  • You do end up using a lot of cotton pads

Pros of the Oil- Infused Water:

  • Removes all of your make up just as well as the original
  • Decent sized bottle. All come as 400ml bottles unless they are the miniature ones
Cons of the Oil- Infused Water:

  • Greasy skin afterwards...its a no from me!
  • The price. Unless its on a promotion this is a little more expensive. Seen it for as much as £6.99
  • If you manage to get the water in your eyes, it can really irritate and sting

So my verdict every time is the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 10/10 versus 6/10 for the Oil- Infused version.

Ta for now C xx
