First Impressions: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water


Back in February I flew over to Paris for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend. I'd previously tried the L'Oreal micellar water offering and was less that blown away, so I knew that I just had to try the real thing. Bioderma. Bearing in mind we flew over and only had hand luggage, that meant I could only pick up the 100ml version, which I didn't mind so much at the time as I didn't want to waste money on something that I previously hadn't enjoyed using. Fast forward to now. I could not be more disappointed that I didn't pick up more than one bottle and as I don't really have the budget to be splashing out £10 for 200ml of product over here, the search for some sort of replacement begins.

In comes Garnier. Promising much the same, this offering comes in a 400ml bottle for less than £5, which is an absolute steal in my eyes. Much like Bioderma this version has an easy dispensing lid, you just pop it open, squeeze a little on a cotton pad and swipe across the eye. Even my most stubborn mascara is no match. It glides effortlessly over the face, removing every visible trace of make up and once it's sunk into the skin, it doesn't leave that nasty tight feeling on your skin.

All in all I'm impressed so far. I haven't trailed this long enough to warrant it a full review, but I can't see my mind changing. For me, it's the perfect budget alternative for Bioderma.

Thanks for reading.
