Garnier micellar facial gel

Recently, the Garnier brand released a new product - a micellar cleansing gel. How is it different from regular micellar water? Does it make sense to buy a micellar gel or can you get by with a regular cleanser? All this is discussed in detail in my review.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel

I have been familiar with Garnier brand cleansers for many years. On my bathroom shelf you can always see a cleansing gel or micellar water from this brand. When I saw a new product in the store - a cleansing micellar gel - I couldn’t pass it up. The cost of the gel is about 300 rubles. with a discount on the Rive Gauche gold card.

The gel is sold in a 200 ml plastic bottle with a dispenser. It is colorless and has a neutral odor. The consistency is different from the washing gels I’m used to: it’s more liquid, watery, and has a medium foam.

Compound :

The manufacturer writes that using this gel you can remove makeup even from the eyes. I have never been a fan of removing eye makeup with soap, I always used micellar water or a special makeup remover. After all, even if ordinary moisturizing gels for washing sometimes tighten the skin of the face, they can easily dry out the delicate skin around the eyes. I didn't want to take any risks.

But this time I decided to take a risk. No matter how hard I closed my eyes, the micellar gel was still able to get into them. It stung terribly. After washing, the skin around the eyes “demanded” hydration. And overall there was a slight feeling of tightness. But, in fairness, it is worth noting that during the heating season my skin feels a little tight even after washing with plain water, without soap. The gel cleanses the skin without squeaking (which is good), but it is very high quality. After washing my face, I decided to go over it with a cotton pad soaked in micellar water; the pad was perfectly clean. There was not a hint of foundation, concealer, eye shadow, mascara or eyebrow pencil left on my face.

I also use this gel in the morning. It cleanses the skin well of sebum and does not cause irritation or redness. Does not dry out the skin.

Test Drive

To clearly demonstrate the cleansing properties of the micellar gel, I decided to compare it with Garnier micellar water (which I described in detail in this article).

On my hand from left to right: long-lasting lipstick from Rimmel, Essense eyeshadow, super long-lasting cream eyeshadow from Noname and Seventeen foundation. All these products are very durable, and in real life I don’t use them, because... I choose lighter and less corrosive textures.

I applied and lathered the micellar gel on my hand twice. I also used one cotton pad on both sides, which was moistened with micellar water. The final result is almost the same! I hardly see any difference; The lipstick is also visible, cream shadows and a little foundation are also visible. But micellar water dissolved cosmetics better.

After that, I began to wonder, is there any point in paying twice as much for a cleansing gel? Among Garnier, I have long had a favorite - the cleansing cream-gel for dry skin - which I have already bought for the 5th or 6th time. It also cleanses the skin well, can remove makeup, and costs half as much - only 150 rubles. So I decided to do another test.

I lathered the gel on my hand three times! The result was much worse, which surprised me a little. This gel perfectly removes my daily makeup from the face (CC cream Lumene or Stay Matte from Rimmel and mineral powder, I don’t remove eye makeup with it). If you swipe a cotton pad with micellar water, it will also remain perfectly clean. Apparently, this gel does not cope well with persistent textures.

conclusions

The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel is definitely a good new product. It removes makeup perfectly and does not dry out the skin. But I wouldn’t recommend removing eye makeup with it. It is also terribly uneconomical due to its liquid consistency. If 400 ml of micellar water can last me for several months of regular use, then this 200 ml gel will end in less than a month if it is used only for washing in the evenings. And if you also wash your face with it in the morning, it will only last for 2-2.5 weeks. While I can use another Garnier gel twice a day for 1.5 months!

Do I recommend purchasing micellar gel? Yes, it is quite. Will I buy it again? More likely no than yes. I liked it, but not enough to buy it again. Moreover, I have plans to try other cleansers from other brands.

Unusual

It was a little unusual after micellar, I was glad to use a gel, it felt like you were applying liquid soap :) the texture would be something between milk and water.. I liked it, in general, it copes with its task no worse than water, but perhaps regular micellar is more familiar to me

almost perfect

Washing with this gel is very convenient. It removes makeup from the face perfectly, but it doesn't work as well with mascara; you have to remove the residue with micellar water. The smell is light, slightly pharmaceutical. I haven’t tried to wash off stubborn products with it. Suitable for removing light daytime makeup if added to regular micellar water. Does not cause irritation.

Did not like!

The product is easy to use and has a dispenser. The gel removes makeup from the face well. But still, after using it, there remains an uncomfortable feeling on the face. You have to additionally use other products to cleanse your facial skin.

For me it's five points

I was faithful to their micellar water for several months until I tried this miracle - a gel, definitely five points for me, it perfectly removes everything - mascara, lipstick, powder and foundation, the aroma and consistency are excellent, economical consumption, reasonable price, I gave it to my mother and mother-in-law - everyone is happy)

On the one hand, it’s a good ordinary washbasin. Doesn't dry out and washes off easily. On the other hand, it doesn’t remove mascara well, and it’s definitely not the best and most trouble-free product for removing eye makeup.

It’s generally super for delicate skin, because when care was needed after severe redness, it showed itself perfectly. Soothes the skin, delicate care. Lasts a long time

Excellent budget product for every day

Pros: budget price, subtle unobtrusive smell (terrible allergy to scented products), economical consumption, convenient dispenser quickly removes makeup No cons found

Very nice product

I don’t risk using it to wash off makeup from my eyes, but I still think there should be a more gentle product, without using water. But I wash my face and neck tone every evening, it’s very pleasant to use, convenient dispenser, just the right amount of product for one wash. An excellent solution for the warm season. With the arrival of cold weather, I think I shouldn’t wash my face so often (I have dry skin), I’ll switch to micellar oil.

I liked it very much

I really liked this gel, it removes makeup well and removes mascara easily. Most likely I will buy it again, because I can’t stand fiddling with cotton wool, etc. Spotlight, go wash your face and voila, no more makeup. I recommend

Micellar gel

The smell is normal. Foams well. Removes only regular makeup. The mascara doesn't wash off well, but everything else is great. Doesn't dry out the skin. For the price indicated in the brochure 292 rubles. you can buy it. Budget.

Super

In general, I am very impressed with the Garnier company. The gel has now become one of my favorite products from this brand. It cleanses carefully, gently, does not sting the eyes, and removes makeup without leaving a trace in one use.

very pleased

I have known this micellar for quite a long time. A very gentle, pleasant treatment for removing makeup; after using it and further washing with special products, there is no “panda” effect, which is good news. because when using more expensive products, even after a shower you have to resort to cleansing again (((It doesn’t sting or irritate the eyes, the smell is pleasant. Quite an economical product, especially large volume. For its price (especially considering the fact that this product is very often sold in mass markets for promotions), this is just a godsend.

For a budget washbasin - cool

I really liked the gel, it doesn’t sting my eyes (which is an eternal problem for me), it’s suitable for oily skin, it’s a good replacement for micellar water. The product is economical; after a couple of months of use, only half of the product was used.

Didn't fit

Claimed to be for dry skin, gentle cleansing. It does remove makeup, but definitely not for dry skin. After washing off, the skin felt tight and there was a clear alcohol content. It’s just a full tube, and I have no desire to use it again.

A find for the lazy

A very good gel for removing cosmetics when you are lazy or don’t have time for micellar water or milk. It is truly fragrance-free, removes makeup well, does not dry out the skin and does not cause allergic reactions. I'm taking off one star because it doesn't handle long lasting or waterproof makeup well.
