Just purchased this on a whim. It is wonderful! I could see my blackheads being washed away. The best part is it doesn't dry out your skin. Very soft after each use.

Please take out the microbeads that pollute the oceans!

I love using this face wash but I have recently learned the microbeads in it are part of the ones polluting the ocean. Please take the microbeads out and replace them with a natural exfoliant that breaks down in water!

This is my favorite face wash. I have been using it or various versions of it) for for at least 10 years. The scrub is perfect for making my skin feel clean and soft. I have not found a scrub anywhere on the market that compares. Please never get rid of this product.

[Employee of garnier] Garnier SkinActive Water Rose Micellar Cleansing Water has been amazing! Not only does it remove my makeup, but also leaves my sensitive skin feeling refreshed, hydrated and soft. I enjoy using it without the strong, harsh.

Works great

Love this product as I visibly saw a difference in the skin of my face, however, I will never buy it again. There is a very strong perfume smell that is offensive, not necessary for a face cleanser. This is one of the best products for blackheads I have ever used too. Makes me sad, but I can't deal with that scent.

Love this transformed my skin BUT.....
4 years ago
I found and bought this in September of 2021. It literally made my skin poreless and clear. Just purchased a new cleanser yesterday Jan.2022 and the ingredients are different. It's missing jojoba oil and some other original ingredients. Why do companies mess with ingredients!! This new formula smells different and not in a good way. I am hesitant to use it. On this site you have the original ingredients listed but on this image on the cleanser it is different and not in a good way. So bothered by this because now the efficacy of the ingredients are in question. I knew the minute I used this new unimpressive formula that I have to move on. Such a shame because it did wonders for my skin. Why do you take out an important ingredient that helps the skin? ! Please go back to the ingredients listed below on this site but not on the product itself. Thank you.

Amazing after feel!
5 years ago
I have only used this product for at least 2 days! And already gave my face a new refreshing feel, also it eliminated some of my blackheads with a few washes you can totally feel the difference! I highly suggest for anyone trying to get rid of black heads! I do suggest that if your blackheads are on your nose please apply this product there so if your using another face wash you don’t break out too much! But I do have to add it may dry the skin so if you have a simple face moisturizer your skin will look flawless in no time!

Favorite face wash but so hard to find!!
5 years ago
I love this product so much. I saw reviews about others not liking the smell, but my boyfriend and I both use it and think the smell is just fine. The only con to this face wash is that it is next to impossible to find it in stock. I sincerely hope this product does not get discontinued!
