    Worked but gave me acne

    It worked for removing make up but it gave me acne after using it and I stoped for a bit and started again and same issue. I think what might have been is that you don’t wash it off u just use it and maybe that cause me to have acne after using it

    Nice toner, but doesn't live up to make-up removal

    I liked this product as a toner or refresher, but it didn't remove any of my eye makeup (I don't wear much fake makeup otherwise anyway). I would have to scrub quite a bit, which is harsh on my skin, so not really living up to claims of being make-up removing... and not great for my sensitive skin!

    Doesn't do much

    The water wipes off my foundation like any liquid would, but it is nothing special. Don’t like the smell and also seems to do nothing for my skin! If anything it dries it out. Think there are much better, low budget products similar out there.

    Wasn't good for my skin

    This make-up remover was terrible for my skin type (combination). I think since the base of the formula is water, it is not good for eye area. I had to rub my eye and under eye areas to remove makeup using cotton pad and this liquid. That caused developing new lines and wrinkles around my eye. I think this bottle is ONLY good when you cleaned your face already and want to add extra moist to it using a cotton. I don't count on it as a "makeup remover" AT All !!!

    Meh

    This is nothing to write home about in my opinion. It does a very light duty job. Micellar water does nothing to take off my makeup and leaves an oily film on my skin. I feel that i do have to rinse my face with cleanser to remove the oily substance, which defeats the whole "no rinse" claim. You have to use a lot more product than necessary to remove your makeup and it always stings my eyes....I think because i'm scrubbing them so hard.

    I had to use more than 4 cotton pads to fully remove my makeup, The product dries up my skin and i'm happy that I bought a travel size of this product rather than the fill size. It is relatively cheap but still not worth the money in my opinion. I haven't tried Bioderma Sensibio which most people rave about! I'm going to stick to using my Neutrogena makeup wipes for now.

    Hugely disappointed by this product in my opinion.

    Just a word of warning, if you have sensitive skin please remember to do a patch test as this product does tend to break you out. There are some harsh chemicals in this product so be careful.

    There's better out there...

    I typically like garnier products but this stuff just doesnt seem to cut it with waterproof mascara. 2 or 3 tries before I can get it off. Nivea offers a more effective option at a better price.

    Not very effective

    Hate to say it but I found it very ineffective. I have oily skin so I prefer a deeper cleaning feeling. I didn't like the feel on my face when using it as a light cleanser, nor did I find it removed mascara very well.

    I LOVE Micellar Water Cleansers - they are effective, quick and easy but this has got to be the WORST cleanser I have ever used.
    I typically use higher-end cleansers and products but I was short of funds and this was on sale for I think $6.99 and so I decided to pick it up and give it a try..
    Firstly, it feels gross. It says Oil Free on the bottle but it feels very slimy like an oil-type product is in it. After I used this for a first time my skin actually felt even dirtier than before. I wanted to cleanse my face again but using something else.
    Secondly, it barely removes my makeup.. I was able to see some of my makeup on my cotton pad but it just wasn't getting everything off. I usually don't need to use too many cotton pads when removing my makeup, I'd say around 2-3 cotton pads but with this cleanser I was using 5+ cotton pads. So, I may have saved on the cleanser itself but it eventually will be costing me in cotton pads (cotton pads aren't generally expensive but still). Also, with micellar waters you are suppose to remove your eye makeup easily. All you need to do is set your cotton pad on your lid for a few seconds and then gently swipe the cotton to remove any eye shadow/liner etc. but I cannot do that with this cleanser. I need to seriously scrub at it and my liner is not even water proof! I need to scrub so hard and I also need to completely just soak my cotton pad so that it is literally dripping with this product in order to remove SOME of my eye makeup .. when I wake up in the morning I have chunks of my eye makeup all over my face because it wasn't succesfully removed. As a side note, this product also burns when you get it into your eyes so while you are rubbing and scrubbing trying to get your makeup off .. it is inevitable that you will get some in your eyes.

    J'étais attirée par le beau packaging et les bons commentaires sur ce produit.
    Il ne pique pas et son odeur est ok
    En fin de compte, il ne me convient pas. sensation de peau collante et pas fraiche, je devais rincer à l'eau.. pas efficace sur le mascara hydrofuge..
    bref je n'ai pas fini la bouteille et je ne recommande pas..
