Garnier micellar water: composition, assortment and rules of use

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

Garnier face micellar water is considered by many to be one of the most successful brand products. Despite the low cost, it copes with all the tasks that are usually set for this tool. It qualitatively and fairly quickly cleanses the surface of the face, although express lotion of the same brand does better with waterproof mascara, practically does not smell and does not leave an adhesive film on the face after use. The liquid does not irritate the skin itself or the eyes, even with contact lenses.

A relative disadvantage is not very convenient packaging, “issuing” an excessive amount of funds due to the wide opening in the lid. The size of the base bottle 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 positively evaluated 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 motion, without creating unnecessary mechanical stress. Water saturated with micelles draws out all kinds of impurities, including fatty elements.

The entire micellar products of Garnier Skin Naturals include micelles - special components that can “magnetize” any impurities: dust particles, grease and cosmetic residues, and remove them from the face. A balanced composition is well perceived even by sensitive and reactive skin, since the use does not require intensive friction 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 Clean Skin. This micellar water is used for oily and sensitive skin. The main functions of the liquid are matting, cleansing and makeup removal. The composition of the product includes components such as water, extracts of zest of lemon, apple and camellia, as well as sugarcane extract. The lack of fragrances in the composition is ideal for sensitive skin prone to rashes.

Micelles effectively capture sebum, cosmetics and dirt from the surface of the skin, after which they hold them in themselves and are easily eliminated 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, produced in a golden package of 400 milliliters, is more suitable. The composition of the product is very simple - it includes argan oil, water and a cosmetic base. Two-phase liquid can remove even waterproof makeup, eliminate excess sebum and contamination. Before use, shake the bottle slightly.

Another effective treatment is micellar water with cornflower-blue water, sold in a 400 milliliter package. This two-phase skin cleanser comes in a blue package called Ultra-Care. The composition of the product includes water, sodium chloride, poloxamer 184, l-arginine and a plant component - flower water. A feature of this tool is the ability to remove any makeup, including waterproof, 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 type of skin, including combination skin, universal micellar water with a volume of 700 ml is suitable. The pink package contains liquid, which includes water, a cosmetic base, poloxamer 184 and hexylene glycol. A maxi-size cleanser allows you to use micellar fluid more than 350 times. The tool effectively cleanses the surface of the face from sebum, dust and cosmetics. Rinse it off after use is not recommended.

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

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

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

• Makeup removal starts from the eye area. To do this, cotton pads should be moistened with a cosmetic product, and then firmly pressed to the eyes for 15-20 seconds. In order to get rid of the carcass, you need to move the soaked 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 facial cleansing, you need another cotton pad moistened with micellar water. Processing takes place along massage lines, that is, movements go from the neck to the temples, from the temples to the forehead, and also from the nose to the ears.
• Particular care should be taken to treat the forehead, nose wings and chin. Lastly, the cheekbones and neck are worked out with a cotton pad.

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

The feedback on Garnier micellar water is quite optimistic. You can start with a product enriched with argan oil. The product was created in Germany, where it was tested by local experts. It is available in a 400 milliliter 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. Shake the liquid before use.

According to customers micellar fluid perfectly copes with makeup remover, and the oil present in the composition only simplifies this procedure. Waterproof cosmetics also disappear quickly. To cleanse the skin does not have to make much effort, and the process occurs almost twice as fast as usual. The only possible disadvantage is the thin oily film that remains on the face after the procedure, which, however, does not interfere with everyone. The skin remains soft, fresh, nourished and not tightened at all.

In the summer, after using this micellar, you don’t even have to apply any additional care products. The expense of this tool is very economical. Buyers also note that the liquid has a rather pleasant aroma, reminiscent of some mixture of fruits and flowers. Of course, the low cost is also pleasing.

A large number of reviews are found about the basic product Garnier - micellar water, suitable for any skin type. The main advantages of this remedy are called low cost, large volume, high-quality cleansing and the absence of irritation for centuries.

I really like the lack of aroma, as well as the state of the liquid itself - it is neither sticky nor oily. Micellar perfectly copes with cleansing the face of everyday makeup, and it takes only 2-3 cosmetic discs.

Other customers wrote about the same remedy that their smell was just annoying, reminiscent of something in between chemical and alcohol. True, they liked the cleansing properties of the product. There is even a comment that micellar water did very poorly with the task, washing off only light lipsticks and shadows.

Interesting reviews are also found 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. Two-fraction liquid, which must be shaken before use, is slightly oily to the touch, and after using it, an unpleasant oily film remains on the skin, requiring rinsing. The smell of the product, however, many people like. This micellar water does not cope with persistent cosmetics, but regular makeup 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 smaller greasy film after. but Micellar water for oily skin is liked even more, since it dries the skin less and also does not distract odors. Some girls stated that they did not like the oily micellar water at all, because they plucked their eyes very hard.
