Garnier Micellar Oil Infused Cleansing Water | Review & Demo
By Bhawna D. - January 14, 2018
Hi Guys,
Welcome back
to the Glistening Lane ✨
Micellar
water has been trending globally since some time! Finally, Garnier has
introduced two of their micellar waters in India; out of the total four
variants which are available within the international market. The question is, “What
is Micellar Water” and “Why Micellar Water is needed?”
In this fast
pace world, new innovations emerge so as to reduce everyday efforts. After a
tiring day at work, when you come home, skincare routine looks nothing but
added hassle. A lot of the times, I personally feel extremely lazy in washing
off all the makeup. Even if I muster some energy, getting rid of waterproof
makeup isn’t a task of just the facial cleanser. Eyeliner, mascara, kajal and
sometimes foundation remain glued to the face as if declaring themselves best
of friend with my facial skin. Results being, panda eyes in the morning.
Micellar
water is an amalgamation of micelles and soft water. Micelles inhibit cleansing
oil molecules and it takes off all the dirt and makeup off your face. Micellar
water is regarded as gentle onto the skin, hence it is recommended for
sensitive and dry skin people. It helps in removing makeup,
cleaning and hydrating the skin. Now that you have a rough idea about what
micellar water is, you must be inquisitive about which variant to pick from the
Garnier’s new launch.
First Oil
Infused Micellar Cleansing Water, powerful at removing makeup, even waterproof
yet surprisingly gentle on skin. For the first time, Garnier combined its
Micellar Technology with nourishing Argan Oil. The Micelles capture and lift
away residue like a magnet, while the oils dissolve traces of makeup and
nourishes skin.

perfectly clean, nourished and comfortable.

Packaging:
The Garnier
Micellar Oil Infused Cleansing water comes in a transparent bottle through
which you can easily view the amount of content that’s left. Plastic bottle
makes it travel friendly and break proof. I intentionally bought the small
packaging so that it can fit into compact spaces of my hand bag and travelling
suitcases. It has a flip top open lid via which the required content can be
poured out.
My Experience:
So now is
the time to share what all I read about this product and what was my take onto
it. When I first tried it, I noticed it had a strong fragrance. I’ve also read
sometime back that it is better to avoid anything on face which has perfumes
within it, especially if you have a sensitive skin. The fragrance has floral
touch to it and it’s quite pleasant. I poured a little quantity of the solution
after shaking the bottle and it did remove my makeup easily. But when it was
working on my liquid lipstick, it made the lipstick colour go haywire on my
facial skin. I had a subtle makeup of eyeshadow crayon, foundation, kajal and a
liquid lipstick. But to wipe up the liquid lipstick mess, it took me two cotton
pads. For me personally, that’s a hassle! 😅😅
Had I done a
heavy eye makeup, no doubt it would have removed it too, but with a lot of
cotton pads; must be three, I think. If you are wondering if it’s safe for the
eyes, then let me tell you yes it did not hurt my eyes. But I was super careful
about the area around my eyes. The waterproof mascara got removed quite easily and
the lower lash kajal too surrendered in the battle. When applied onto the face,
this cleansing solution immediately gives a cooling sensation which makes it equivalent
to washing a face literally. No trace of makeup was left which is definitely
astonishing!
Here comes
the fact whether there was any residue left behind after cleansing of makeup or
not. Apparently, the oil that is floating over your bottle of micellar water is
none other but Argan Oil which is trending lately like no one other’s business!
Argan oil is non-sticky in nature. Once I wiped away the makeup, I saw lights
being reflecting off my face. I noticed that there was a thin layer of oil left
behind. But of course the oil in question has the property of being non stick
and lightweight. You can completely ditch your moisturizer after using this.
But because I don’t like anything on my face, I gave some water splashes and it
still felt soft and smooth because of the argan oil. For winters, I’m
completely okay with the residue but maybe not for summers; again that’s my
personal opinion.
Demo:
 |
| BEFORE: Wrist Full of Makeup Swatches |
 |
| AFTER: Little Pressure Applied and Single Swipe of Cleansing |
 |
| AFTER: Cotton Drenched in Micellar Water & Multiple Times of Wiping/Cleansing |
 |
| AFTER: Complete Cleansing Done; Left with Hydration from Argan Oil Infused Inside |
Rating: 4.9/5
Final Verdict:
It
definitely does the job of whatever claims that it makes onto the packaging and
it took not a lot of efforts because even after a facial cleansing you might
still be left with some of the makeup traces here and there; especially for
waterproof makeup! If you want, you can of course give this one a try. And if
you are like me who wants a squeaky clean skin without oil left over, then try
the other variant of the Garnier Micellar Water! 😊
