Ingredients

Key Ingredient
Micelles
Suspended in water, micelle particles are surfactants with two ends: an oil-loving head and a water-loving tail. They work like a magnet to draw out makeup, sebum, and impurities quickly and effectively, while their gentle cleansing properties make them suitable for sensitive skin.
Is Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 also a Makeup Remover?
Yes! This all-in-1 micellar water formula uses micelle technology to remove makeup by lifting impurities and all traces of makeup, including foundation, lipstick, and eye makeup. Best of all, it cleanses and refreshes your skin without harsh rubbing.
Do You Need to Rinse After Using Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1?
Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water All-in-1 is a no-rinse formula designed to remove makeup and impurities without water. According to your preferences, you can rinse off this micellar water without changing how effective it is.
Can I Use Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Every Day?
This micellar water makeup remover is gentle enough to use once, twice, and even multiple times a day. Since it cleanses without stripping your natural oils, you can feel safe using it on a regular basis.
Is Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Due to its gentle formula free of alcohol, oils, and fragrances, this micellar cleansing water is suitable for all sensitive skin types. It also won’t irritate the skin barrier because it removes impurities without requiring any tugging or rubbing.
Is Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Good for Acne-Prone or Oily Skin?
The micelles in this micellar cleansing water effectively lift oil, dirt, and excess sebum without clogging pores. These features make it a great cleansing option for skin that is oily or prone to breakouts, plus it leaves skin feeling clean and never greasy.
Can I Use Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 on Dry Skin?
This no-rinse cleansing water formula is gentle and won’t strip away natural oils, making it ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. Your skin is cleansed without feeling tight or overly cleansed.
Can I Use Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 as a Face Wash?
Garnier Cleansing Micellar Water All-in-1 can be used instead of your normal face cleanser, especially to remove light makeup at night. For heavier long-wear makeup and/or to fully remove sunscreen, try using the double cleansing method by following with a face wash.
Can Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Remove Waterproof Mascara?
There are many Garnier micellar water varieties, but this all-in-1 formula is a general makeup remover for everyday makeup. Waterproof mascara may require a bi-phase formula like our waterproof micellar cleansing water. For best results, hold a soaked cotton pad on your lashes for a few seconds before wiping off mascara.
Can I Use Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 on Eyes and Lips?
Yes, this Garnier micellar water is indeed safe for use on your eyes and lips without irritation. Our non-alcohol formula is ophthalmologist-tested and gentle enough for delicate and sensitive skin with no oily residue.

I have rosacea and my nose gets deep red and flakey. I often have customers ask me why my nose is so red and even one tell me I look like Rudolph. Over the years I have tried everything! The sensitive skin cleansers didn't help with acne, the acne cleansers made my rosacea worse. I saw the Micellar cleanser and was skeptical. The no need to rinse sounded great but not for my ski . About two weeks ago I made the purchase with no hope at all. Just more wasted money. To my suprise my nose is a light reddish/pink and no more flaking and the rest of my skin looks great! I follow up with Garnier moisture rescue gel cream (which is also awesome). So thank you for helping me get some if confidence back!

I have been using the Micellar water for sensitive skin, but I now have massive red rash unde eye.
I have been to pharmacist and they said its allergy to the make-up remover aka Micellar water for sensitive skin.
How can this be recommend for sensitive skin when my face is now all covered with rashes and red under eyes.
Very disappointed.

simplest and clean skincare item in my routine
Received an incentive

Before using Micellar Water, other brand's makeup removing wipes to get off makeup or leftover oils of the seemed like it was drying out my skin and leaving harsh irritation from the rubbing and friction. Micellar water has changed my skincare routine for the better!
Pros:
- does not irritate my skin
- does not contain harsh fragrances or chemicals
- 'all-in-one' really does suit my sensitive skin type
Cons:
- although designed to be used without rinsing -> definitely need to follow up with a face wash after as I do not feel like it completely gets rid of all residue and if left on, I feel like it will clog up more pores and cause breakouts
Experience:
- daily use of applying a small amount on a round cotton pad and gently pressing on skin to remove dirt, makeup, or other oils on my face
- applying on dry skin for best results and following up with a cleanser afterwards
- finishing with a moisturizer as I also experienced if you keep the product on without washing off it start to dry out my skin
Overall:
- this is one of my top and favorite choices to use in my skincare routine on the daily.
- very accessible to obtain
I will be continuing to use this product further on!

Q: Can you please tell the pH of this product? The non-answer response to someone else was disappointing. Its very important to know for those of us struggling with recurrent skin issues and need to rebuild our skins lipid barrier/acid mantle. Thank you
Jmk233 years ago
1 AnswerAnswer this Question
A: Hi there! Except for active ingredients, information regarding such things as the pH for a product is proprietary. However, since most consumers don’t use the pH of a product to help them choose the right formula, we call out the type of skin or skin issue the product is made to address. The Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 (pink cap) is made for use on sensitive skin in the normal to dry range, leaving that skin perfectly clean, and refreshed without over-drying.
