Our reviewers put the makeup removers to the test
One of the best solutions to clean, makeup-free, skin is a clever multi-tasking product that works to remove makeup and cleanse in a single swipe.
We’re talking about micellar water, a formulation made up of tiny micelles that work as magnets to lift dirt and impurities to leave skin clean and nourished.
But to test how well the product actually works, we gathered a selection of women of all ages with different skin types to sample one of the three Garnier Micellar Waters. Those with normal and sensitive skin types tried Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Cleansing Water for Normal to Sensitive Skin, combination to oily skin types tried Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for Combination to Oily Skin, and those with acne-prone skin or skin prone to imperfections tried Garnier Pure Active Micellar Cleansing Water for Skin Prone to Imperfections.
These products claim to thoroughly cleanse the face, eyes and lips without rubbing, require no rinsing after use, work to soothe the skin’s delicate surface, and deliver a refreshed complexion, and here’s what the Review Crew® testers had to say.
