Features of Garnier micellar water

Today it is quite difficult to imagine how we used to live without micellar water. Meanwhile, not so long ago we knew nothing about micelles and cleansing micellar water could only be found on the shelves of pharmacies. Now almost everyone uses it. One of the popularizers of the product was the Garnier brand, which made micellar water accessible to the masses. And here's what test results collected during the launch of Garnier's first micellar water in 2014 say.

97% of respondents appreciated and loved this product from the first use;

99% of respondents liked this type of product;

94% of respondents said they would buy micellar water from Garnier.

Composition of Garnier micellar water

The main feature of this product is micelles, microscopic particles that have the ability to attract impurities (sebum, dust particles, dirt and makeup) and easily remove them from the skin.

Initially, an aqueous solution based on micelles was used to cleanse sensitive, reactive skin, as this product:

avoids excessive friction;

does not dry out the skin, since micelles are non-aggressive surfactants (surfactants).

The Garnier micellar collection has a universal classic product with a minimal set of ingredients. Also among Garnier micellar products there are alternative options, the formulas of which are enriched with additional components:

ingredients for oily skin.

But in general, the composition of micellar water is laconic, since its main mission is to easily and effortlessly remove contaminants. And it is micelles that cope with this task.

Types of micellar water

Today, Garnier’s portfolio already includes four micellar water items.

Classic, the very first one, with which consumers began to become acquainted with micelles. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

Two-phase water with oils to remove stubborn makeup.

Micellar water with a mattifying effect for oily skin.

Micellar water with cornflower extract for comfortable removal of makeup from the skin around the eyes.

Now let’s talk about each product separately and find out what real users think about them.

Tools Overview

Micellar water for all skin types

Universal micellar water, which clearly demonstrates all the benefits of a cleanser in this format, allows you to remove makeup and impurities from the face, eyes, and lips with one movement of the hand. All you have to do is moisten a cotton pad and rub it over the skin. There is no need to rub and be zealous. It is not necessary to rinse off (but it is advisable). Special thanks for the solid volume of 700 ml, which is enough for 350 uses.

Micellar water with oils to remove stubborn makeup

And again the statistics: every fourth woman uses waterproof mascara or long-lasting foundation. Two-phase micellar water with added oils was created to eliminate them. Once on the surface of the skin, droplets of oil dissolve persistent cosmetics, and the micelles act like a magnet, capturing and removing dissolved makeup and impurities. So the makeup literally “slides” off the skin and eyelashes. And again - no friction, and therefore discomfort. Shake the bottle before use.

Micellar water “Clean Skin” for oily sensitive skin

This water is intended for skin that is well aware of the problem of oily shine, which means it requires care with a mattifying effect. And this product provides it.

Micellar water "Ultracare", two-phase facial cleanser

Another two-phase product for removing stubborn makeup, this time enriched with cornflower blue water, which is suitable for sensitive eyelid skin and gives a feeling of freshness and comfort immediately after cleansing.

Rules of application

Using micellar water couldn't be easier. However, we have several life hacks.

When removing makeup, start with the eye area: moisten a cotton pad with micellar water, press it onto the eyelids for 20 seconds, and then remove the makeup with light movements. Do not press or rub.

Use micellar water in the morning as a cleanser: wipe your face with it and then rinse with water - micelles do an excellent job of removing sebum accumulated overnight.

If you prefer waterless cleansing, wipe your face with toner.

By the way, about tonic: micellar water can be similar to it only in appearance. These are completely different products and they do not replace each other.

It’s useful to get a portable micellar product or pour it into a small bottle and put it in your cosmetic bag - you won’t find a better way to touch up your makeup throughout the day.

Garnier has released micellar water, which promises to become - if it has not already become - a hit for the brand and generally a hit in this category. Yana compared it with two of her favorite micellar products - Bioderma and La Roche-Posay.

I love micellar products for their simplicity, clarity and versatility. My favorites were the cult Bioderma Solution Micellaire Peaux Sensibles and La Roche-Posay Solution Micellaire Physioloque.

I intended to take the first one with me to a desert island and keep it in my diet, even if I had to live on one salary, although in the comments to this post there were people whose eyes it stings). Price - 700 - 800 rub. for 250 ml.

The second one - La Roche-Posay Solution Micellaire Physioloque - I used in a huge bottle (not the one in the picture, but 400 ml, price - about 1,200 rubles) for six months and was completely happy.

My requirements for micellar are quick cleansing (preferably waterproof mascara, but depending on your luck with mascara, some particularly persistent ones don’t give up), no smell (or very light and very pleasant) and no feeling of anything on your face afterwards. Well, so that it doesn’t irritate the eyes, of course. My eyes are generally not very sensitive, but I wear contact lenses, so sometimes things happen.

Both brands claim that there is no need to rinse off their micellar afterwards. Cosmetologists still advise wiping your face with tonic afterward, so that the remains of dirt and makeup, dissolved by the notorious micelles, do not remain on the skin. Sometimes I do as cosmetologists tell me. But since this requires having thermal water or tonic on hand - not always :)) In a fitness club before a class, for example, I criminally skimp.

So, Garnier micellar water is at a record low price (250 rubles (approximately) for 400 ml) - yes, it meets all my simple requirements.

Yes, it cleans well.

Yes, it doesn't smell at all.

Yes, it does not irritate either the skin or the eyes.

Yes, the skin does not feel the presence of anything foreign after use.

No, it doesn’t remove waterproof mascara; for this, Garnier has released a separate new product - a 2-in-1 express lotion.

Pros regarding Bioderma and La Roche-Posay:

- Lack of any taste. This is important if you are removing makeup from your lips, of course. Here, the competitors are not all so sweet: Bioderma is bitter, and La Roche-Posay is “sour.”

— The price (who would dare to object?) Competes even with L’Oreal Paris, which costs about 200 rubles. but for 200 ml.

Disadvantages regarding the same funds:

- There is a fairly wide hole in the lid - a fair amount immediately pours onto the cotton pad, obviously more than necessary. And because of this, you still want to wash your face afterwards.

— I still like the smell of La Roche-Posay better. It is subtle, but gives the notorious feeling of freshness, which Garnier does not have.

— Bottle size — 400 ml. I haven't come across anything smaller yet. For use at home, this is a plus. In order to take it with you - rather a minus. But I’m sure the brand will quickly cope with this, if not yet. Pot-bellied Bioderma miniatures, 100 ml. — my everything is in travel.

We always strive for the best to please our customers with the best prices.
