Micellar water Garnier: composition, range and rules of use

The use of micellar water is an important step in the daily skin cleansing process. For this purpose, Garnier products are often chosen, providing a quality effect for little money. In addition to the universal base product, the brand's assortment includes products for oily and sensitive skin. Let's take a closer look at the composition, assortment and rules for using Garnier micellar water.

Garnier Micellar Facial Water is considered by many to be one of the brand's most successful products. Despite its low cost, it copes with all the tasks that are usually assigned to this tool. It cleans the surface of the face with high quality and fairly quickly, although the express lotion of the same brand works better with waterproof mascara, practically does not smell and does not leave a sticky film on the face after use. The liquid does not irritate either the skin or the eyes, even with contact lenses.

A relative disadvantage can be called not very convenient packaging, "giving out" an excessive amount of funds due to the wide opening in the lid. The base bottle size is 400 milliliters, which is convenient for home use, but not for travel. During the presentation of the first Garnier micellar water, which took place in 2014, 99% of the girls present appreciated this product, and 94% wanted to buy it. The tool allows you to cleanse the skin of the eyes, lips and face from makeup in one movement, without creating unnecessary mechanical stress.Water saturated with micelles draws out all types of impurities, including fatty elements.

All Garnier Skin Naturals micellar products contain micelles - special components capable of “magnetizing” any impurities: dust particles, grease and makeup residues, and remove them from the face. The balanced composition is well accepted even by sensitive and reactive skin, since the use does not require intensive rubbing of the surface with a cotton pad. In addition, micelles are not aggressive substances, so they do not cause overdrying of the skin.

The 400 millimeter blue package contains a face cleanser called Clear Skin. This micellar water is suitable for oily and sensitive skin. The main functions of the liquid are matting, cleansing and makeup removal. The product contains such components as water, extracts of lemon, apple and camellia zest, as well as sugarcane extract. The fragrance-free formulation is ideal for sensitive skin prone to breakouts.

Micelles effectively capture sebum, cosmetics and dirt from the surface of the skin, after which they hold them in themselves and are easily removed when exposed to a regular cotton pad. A large bottle is enough for almost two hundred uses.

For sensitive skin, micellar water enriched with oils, available in 400 ml golden packaging, is more suitable. The composition of the product is very simple - it contains argan oil, water and a cosmetic base. The two-phase liquid is able to remove even waterproof makeup, eliminate excess sebum and impurities. Shake the bottle slightly before use.

Another effective remedy is cornflower water micellar water, sold in a 400 ml package. This two-phase skin cleanser comes in a blue package called Ultra-Care. The product contains water, sodium chloride, poloxamer 184, l-arginine and a plant component - flower water. A feature of this product is the ability to remove any cosmetics, including waterproof ones, as well as nourish and soothe sensitive skin. In addition, micellar water does not irritate the skin around the eyes and can be used even with contact lenses.

For any skin type, including combination skin, universal micellar water with a volume of 700 ml is suitable... The pink packaging contains a liquid containing water, cosmetic base, poloxamer 184 and hexylene glycol. The maxi cleanser allows you to use the micellar liquid more than 350 times. The tool effectively cleans the surface of the face from sebum, dust and cosmetics. It is not recommended to wash it off after use.

Same a universal drug is sold in a package of 400 milliliters... It is suitable for cleansing lips, eyes and skin without unnecessary friction. On a trip, it is better to take the same universal remedy, but already in a volume of 100 ml. The liquid effectively removes makeup, cleanses and soothes. The hypoallergenic formula was developed under the supervision of dermatologists and ophthalmologists. It should be mentioned that this universal product is also available in a volume of 125 ml, but complete with BB Cream "The Secret of Perfection".

It is impossible not to mention such a product as micellar wash gel... This product can be called "3 in 1" as it removes makeup, cleanses the skin and soothes it. The cleansing gel contains natural grape extract, citric acid, water, glycerin, propylene glycol, and a cosmetic base. Unlike micellar water, the gel must be rinsed off after use. The substance is applied already on the wet skin of the face, after foaming a little.

To use micellar water, only cotton pads are required. There are several rules of use worth considering.

• Make-up removal starts from the eye area. To do this, the cotton pads must be moistened with a cosmetic product and then pressed firmly against the eyes for 15–20 seconds. In order to get rid of the mascara, you will need to move the wet discs from top to bottom and back. To cleanse the eyelids, it is necessary to treat this area with a cotton pad, moving from the inner to the outer corners of the eyes.
• For further cleansing of the face, you will need another cotton pad moistened with micellar water. The treatment takes place along the massage lines, that is, the movements go from the neck to the temples, from the temples to the forehead, and also from the nose to the ears.
• The forehead, wings of the nose and chin should be especially carefully treated. Lastly, the cheekbones and neck are worked out with a cotton pad.

Since morning micellar water is quite capable of playing the role of the main means for washing... In order to cleanse the skin of sebum released at night, it is enough to wipe the face with micellar and then rinse it with cold water. This tool is indispensable for anhydrous cleansing.

The responses about Garnier micellar water are quite optimistic. You can start with a product enriched with argan oil. The product was created in Germany, where it is tested by local specialists. It comes in a 400 ml bottle that looks similar to other micellar waters of this brand. This tool is declared as two-phase and is characterized by the presence of an oil layer with a thickness of about 2 centimeters. Before use, the liquid must be shaken.

According to customers micellar liquid perfectly copes with make-up removal, and the oil present in the composition only simplifies this procedure... Waterproof cosmetics also fade quickly. To cleanse the skin, you do not have to make any special efforts, and the process occurs almost twice as fast as usual. The only possible disadvantage is a thin oily film that remains on the face after the procedure, which, however, does not bother everyone. The skin remains soft, fresh, nourished and not in the least taut.

In the summer, after using this micellar, you don't even have to apply any additional care products. The consumption of this tool is very economical. Customers also note that the aroma of the liquid is quite pleasant, reminiscent of some kind of mixture of fruits and flowers. Of course, the low cost also pleases.

There are a lot of reviews about Garnier's base product - micellar water suitable for all skin types. The main advantages of this product are the customers' low cost, large volume, high-quality cleansing and no irritation on the eyelids.

I really like the lack of aroma, as well as the state of the liquid itself - it is neither sticky nor oily. Micellar is ideal for cleansing the face from everyday make-up, and it takes only 2-3 cosmetic discs.

Other customers wrote about the same product that their smell was just annoying, resembling something in between a chemical and an alcoholic one. They really liked the cleansing properties of the product. There is even a comment that micellar water did a very poor job, washing off only light lipsticks and shadows.

There are also interesting reviews about Garnier micellar water with cornflower blue water. The main disadvantage is that the product dries the skin very much, giving the face a tired look. The two-fraction liquid to the touch, which must be shaken before use, is a little oily, and after using it, an unpleasant oily film remains on the skin, which requires rinsing. Many people like the smell of the product. This micellar water absolutely cannot cope with persistent cosmetics, but ordinary make-up helps to remove.

Comparing this product with other micellar products of the brand, we can conclude that cornflower blue liquid is much more pleasant than argan oil. It is not only more pleasant to use, but also creates a much less greasy film after. but I like micellar water for oily skin even more, as it dries the skin less and does not distract with odors... Some girls stated that they did not like the oily micellar water at all, because it stung their eyes a lot.
