Garnier micellar water with oils photo

Every woman uses one or another cosmetics. But there comes a time when all your makeup will need to be removed. This is where problems arise. How to wash it off? How can you avoid drying out your skin? Does the product cause an allergic reaction?

What it is?

Micellar water is a cosmetic product that is designed to cleanse the skin of various types of impurities.

The skin, like a magnet, always attracts dirt to itself. On dirty skin, many different microorganisms, especially bacteria, accumulate and begin to multiply. They cause diseases on both the outer and inner layers of the epidermis. All these harmful and unnecessary substances for humans must be removed as often as possible. So, if you do not clean the surface of your facial skin, then acne, pimples, as well as other formations and inflammations will soon begin to appear.

In such cases, it is necessary to wash your face every day with water, preferably even with soap. But applying additional “dirt” to the face in the form of makeup, which the body does not need at all, complicates the process of cleansing the skin. In some cases, even soap cannot cope, especially when it comes to water-repellent, greasy mascara and lipstick.

In such cases, micellar water comes to the rescue. It has many useful functions and its application is quite extensive.

Using it will significantly save your time. Through the use of modern knowledge about the human body, as well as thanks to the latest technologies, the composition is selected in such a way that the properties of micellar water have a significant and high-quality effect. Thanks to this, water also has moisturizing and antibacterial properties.

Micellar water consists of special active components - micelles. These are microscopic compounds that are formed only on surfactants. That is, these particles will dissolve the cosmetics applied to your face. And the more there are, the faster this process will happen.

Micelles are completely replaced in the cleaning solution of soap and alcohol. These compounds are “trained” to capture various fats and dirt, subsequently destroying their molecular bonds.

What is equally important is that after applying this liquid to the skin, the face does not need to be washed with water. Micelles are designed in such a way that after breaking down harmful substances, they simply dissolve and are absorbed by the environment. That is, as a result, your skin will be completely clean and acquire a natural color and appearance.

The most popular brand among all the others is Garnier micellar water. It is distinguished by the high quality of the liquid composition. You can find a huge selection of such products on the market. There are many varieties that characteristically differ from each other in composition, method of application, cost and many other equally important characteristics.

Let's look at the main types of micellar water, as well as their features and advantages:

1. The classic version has the usual composition. Used to disinfect and cleanse the face. Suitable for all types of cosmetics, but in some severe cases you will have to wipe your face with a dampened roller more than once. This is especially true for the eye area. Since manufacturers try to make mascara thick and, most importantly, water-repellent, it is therefore necessary to use more micellar to break down the dye. In such cases, to be on the safe side, it is advisable to additionally rinse your face with clean water.

1. Two-phase water – it contains additional moisturizing oils. Most suitable for oily skin. Allows you to remove waterproof and oily makeup without much effort. It has virtually no odor and leaves no sticking effect. Moisturizing oils will allow the facial skin to receive additional nutrition, due to which some process of renewal of epidermal cells occurs. The price in stores is not that high, so every girl can afford this product.

1. For sensitive skin – used for dry and problematic skin. The composition includes softening hypoallergenic components that do not cause irritation and additionally moisturize.

1. Anti-wrinkle – has a mattifying effect. The complete opposite of the moisturizing property. The presence of special elements in the composition that absorb the moisture surrounding them simply dry out the surface of the face. Due to additional components that have an antibacterial effect, and combined with the drying property, it turns out to be a kind of atomic bomb for the bacteria that inhabit your skin. Due to the lack of moisture, acne begins to dry out and will soon disappear completely.

It should be noted that each person’s skin reacts to irritation exclusively individually, so in some cases you will have to use combined cleaning methods, that is, use several types of micellar water at once, dilute the composition with ordinary water, or add additional elements.

Benefit

Micellar water has a positive effect on the surface of the skin. It has many positive effects, the main one of which is removing makeup.

A component such as glycerin will have a moisturizing effect on the surface of your skin. Panthenol - disinfects and soothes irritations. Other organic elements will have a rejuvenating effect and smooth out wrinkles. You can also think of micellar water as a combination of almost your entire cosmetics bag in one bottle. There are various types of creams, moisturizers, and antibacterial liquids. In addition, it will be able to prevent skin inflammations that have already begun and completely get rid of them.

The only harm that micellar water can cause you is an allergic reaction to some of the components included in its composition. These can be harmful preservatives, surfactants, or even the most common and harmless substances. There is also a way out of this situation. There are many varieties of micellar water on sale, and it will not be difficult for you to purchase a product in which these elements are replaced with similar ones or are simply absent.

Micellar water is also great for protecting your skin from acne. Its mattifying component does not clog the sebaceous glands, thereby giving the skin effective hydration. However, if used incorrectly on oily skin, duct blockage may occur. This has a detrimental effect on the microorganisms living on your face. Therefore, it is worth foreseeing these nuances in advance.

Don’t forget about counterfeits, which can harm your health, in particular your face. Illegal production does not stop fraudsters from such actions. They try to replace all the natural components that make up micellar water with synthetic ones. Especially the cheapest ones. And it’s good if it turns out to be ordinary soap. Therefore, when purchasing a product, check the label for errors. If possible, use your phone camera to check the designated barcode.

Composition of ingredients

When purchasing any product, you must pay attention to the composition. And if possible, it is best to learn to understand what these or those additives are.

If the manufacturer indicated on the packaging that this product is intended for sensitive skin, then its composition must necessarily contain the following components: hexylene glycol, disodium cocoamphodiacetate. These substances will have a positive effect that will prevent inflammation.

The absence of alcohol and alkali, which cause great harm to the epidermis, will be a huge advantage.

Micellar water with oils is useful in situations where it is necessary to remove waterproof makeup. Oil is a catalyst, that is, it accelerates the breakdown reaction of cosmetics.

There are three types of packaging by which the specification of micellar water can be determined:

1. Pink is a classic option. Designed for all skin types. It has a simple composition without various additives.
2. Blue – “Clean skin”. Option for problem skin. Contains additional components that soften its effect. These are a kind of hypoallergenic.
3. Green – adapted for daily use. It contains additional elements that speed up the removal of cosmetics. In principle, it is no different from the pink packaging, except for the presence of a matting effect.
4. Yellow – contains nourishing oils. They will produce an additional nourishing effect on the skin. It will also speed up makeup removal. Has a calming effect. That is, it relieves all inflammation and irritation.

All of the above varieties of Garnier mecillar water products have convenient packaging with a volume of 400 ml. This amount should be enough for at least 100 uses.

Every girl who uses decorative cosmetics has wondered which product is best for removing makeup.

Previously, I only used milk to remove makeup. But when I found out that there was such a product as micellar water, and even 3 in 1, which immediately removes makeup, cleanses the skin, soothes and does not require rinsing. I wanted to buy it.

I saw micellar water with oils in a commercial and decided to read reviews about it. To whom and how it suited. The reviews were quite positive and the decision was made to buy Vodichka, especially since my old product had already run out and I needed to look for a replacement.

I bought a bottle for 320 rubles, its volume is 400 ml. Designed for 200 uses. The two-phase liquid consists of oil and water; to combine the oil with the water, just shake the bottle. The smell is quite pleasant, not chemical, I really like it.

It removes makeup very well, even the most stubborn ones; it removes waterproof mascara perfectly. It also removes makeup from lips well. The makeup removal procedure usually takes me 3 cotton pads. With the first moistened pad, I remove foundation and powder from the entire face. And with the other two discs I remove makeup from the eyes and eyelashes. The liquid stings your eyes a little if it suddenly gets in, but it’s not critical, everything is easily washed off with water. Water perfectly cleanses the skin around the eyes, moisturizes and nourishes it; after washing, the face is clean and soft. After micellar water, I additionally wash my face with foam, and then with regular warm water, I find it more comfortable.

I have been using micellar water for a month now, despite the fact that I wear makeup almost every day. The liquid consumption was quite small, I still have more than half a bottle. I am satisfied with this product, I confidently recommend it to everyone! Excellent quality product at such a budget price.

I’m sharing my personal impressions of the new product in the Garnier Skin Naturals micellar line

Surely today almost everyone is familiar with pink micellar from the cosmetic brand Garnier. A legendary makeup remover, which is chosen not only by ordinary girls for home use, but also by professional makeup artists. Relatively recently, the brand’s line was replenished with another product, which became micellar water with oils Garnier Skin Naturals.

The product appeared on the Ukrainian market at the beginning of last year, but I only got around to testing the new water three months ago (the reason is obvious ─ I waited until the previous pink micellar ran out



).

“Garnier creates a new generation two-phase formula, enriched with effective oils that remove even waterproof makeup, and micelles - active cleansing particles that attract impurities like a magnet, hold them inside themselves, and then easily remove them from the skin with a cotton pad. By shaking the bottle once, you activate the formula to remove even waterproof makeup and eliminate impurities,” this is what the manufacturer claims.

So, what were my impressions and am I going to use the product in the future? All answers are below.

Micellar water with oils Garnier Skin Naturals: personal impressions

As I already said, for a long time (or, to be more precise, 3-4 years), the classic version of micellar water from Garnier occupied a place of honor in my beauty arsenal, which I was very pleased with. Budget-friendly, large volume (400 ml), economical consumption (stated for 200 uses, in my case up to six months), performs all its functions well, does not cause any skin problems.

And so, when my next “pink girlfriend” (sounds ambiguous, I admit) was over, this new version caught my eye in the store. “Why not try? Moreover, it should be even better at removing makeup, there are oils too!” I thought, and without hesitation I threw the orange bottle into the basket.

Design and volume. The bottle is almost identical to the regular version ─ the same large 400 ml bottle, the only difference is the color of the sticker and the name.

Consistency and smell. Micellar water is two-phase. The top layer is oily, yellowish in color, the bottom layer is a transparent liquid. Before use, the product must be shaken well so that the layers are mixed, then a foamy mixture with subtle shimmering particles is formed. The aroma is cosmetic, sweetish, a little chemical, but not intrusive.

Application and sensations. After shaking, the double oil liquid must be applied to a cotton sponge and the makeup must be removed in the usual way. Makeup is completely washed off with a well-moistened disc several times (one swipe is not enough to remove all remnants of foundation, eye shadow, lipstick, etc.).

Upon contact with the skin, you feel a slight oiliness, you want to wash your face right away, which I definitely do, additionally using a gel or foam cleanser. For what? Firstly, to remove a light oil layer from the face, and secondly, to finally remove cosmetic residues that are not visually visible, but may remain in the pores.

Interestingly, the label itself states that the product “does not require rinsing,” but I think few people will like this greasy feeling on the skin.
