Most Helpful Positive Review Great cleansing Water I received Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water through Pinchme complimentary for my honest review.
The one I received is an all-in- 1 brightener with vitamin C for dull sensitive skin. Which is perfect as my face is combination, but mainly oily in summer and I can at times get dry patches sporadically in summer & winter in random areas of my face.
I love that this product has no drying agents such as alcohol, no fragrances in case you are sensitive to scents( big benefit, because I'm pregnant - smells can be off-putting at this time), or any added oils to increase grease production on your face..
After using this product for about 2 weeks I did notice it would pick up grime even if I washed my face with only warm water to test out how effective it is. So far I'm impressed that it still had the ability to pick up some grime. I haven't noticed any skin brightening yet. I may still have premature results being 2 weeks and that's not everyday use( every other day, but multi time a day usage).
My only drawback for me is it doesn't hydrate, even though it states it's a non drying formula. At times I'm on autopilot or living a rushed hectic lifestyle keeping up with my toddler that I actually forget to apply moisturizer after I use it. Which led me to drying out a bit on my cheeks from washing my face with warm water. This is only due to my previous routine where most of my products I use have some hydrating benefits. So it's really a matter of making a mental note to add some type moisturizer after use.
Anyway, I did notice and thought it was a nice kicker that the bottle is made of 30% recycle plastic. It's nice they are taking into account the environment with there products.
Really nice product, I'm willing to try their other Micellar waters to see if I can find the perfect fit for me. Highly recommend this one for those really looking to avoid additional hydration.
Most Helpful Critical Review Amazing! I'm someone that uses Micellar Water every day, twice daily (morning & night) before washing my face to help remove sunscreen, pollution, grime, make-up, etc so I've tried many, many brands & I know what I like. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C not only does what it's supposed to do by gently cleansing but it goes above & beyond by also brightening the skin. I really appreciate the fact that this micellar water does not leave my skin feeling sticky or irritated, which has happened with a few others cleansing waters I've tried in the past. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water with Vitamin C is gentle enough to be used multiple times a day while being effective enough to sufficiently cleanse the skin without any irritation. Highly recommended!

Lazy way to get clean 5
Brown eyed girl from Oregon
Keeping this by my bed! Love that I can go to bed with a fresh face even on those nights I'm way too tired to wash my face!

BESTTTTT EVERRR 5
Picky Sensitive Skin - Tiff from Palm beach, Florida
This product is my absolute favorite mycellar water. So gentle and removes makeup without having to scrub. I literally use a reusable makeup eraser put some mycellar water on it and gently wipe away my eyeliner, waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, bronzer and concealer as well as all day wear lipstick. This has changed my life
Blue/pink one is better 3
Red from New York
This one stings my eyes a little. I think there might be more alcohol content?
Takes makeup off but leaves face sticky 3
Ari0 from LA
I wanted it to remove my makeup with reusable pads and it works but it leaves your face sticky and tacky. It does not feel clean at least to me and I didn't feel comfortable adding the rest of my skincare after. I had to wash my face afterwards.
It's not as great as the blue one, but it's an ok product. 3
Just Ke from Cincinnati, OH
Though it's nothing special, it works. It's not as good as the blue bottle though.
Best version!!!! 5
fatima from Hagerstown, MD

Sami from Honea Path, SC
I have always used the Garnier micellar water that comes in the blue bottle but I decided to try this one instead this time. It works the same and gets the job done but it's not as great for sensitive skin… this one has actually caused my eyes to burn whereas the blue bottle never has. I'm still waiting to see a difference bc of the vitamin c part but I haven't noticed anything yet.
Love it!! 5
Heather46 from Texas
I absolutely love this! it doesn't irritate my skin and I do have sensitive skin and it makes my face look so glowy and fresh. I will be repurchasing this product!
Will stick with the pink version. 1
Mrsjpari from 94535
This particular version gave texture to my forehead. I use the pink version each morning to wake up and cleanse my skin without issue.
Threw this version out, will be going back to the pink one.
Wow!! 5
JimmyAnn from Rural Pennsylvania
I rarely post reviews but had to this time. I had done a full face of makeup, didn't like it so I removed it. This cleanser was very gentle and effective!! When I saw my adult son's, one said "It's perfect, you look awesome!" I told him I didn't have any makeup on and said "Even better mom!!" I'm ordering another bottle so I won't run out ❤
Made my lashes fall out 1

Used this at night. Removed most makeup but not waterproof mascara.
Not bad 3
Shawnee from Las Vegas
Was kinda upset it didn't come in travel size. (When trying new products i always buy travel size to test first)
Overall Not bad but I'm probably going to go back to the blue or pink (love both) cap one once it's gone
Love this brand so much 5
Terry from Ogdensburg, WI
I've been using this brand for a long time now it's easy on my skin and removes eye makeup so easy
Allergic reaction 1
Megan from Cocoa Beach, FL
Used this to take my makeup off and my face was broken out in hives and acne before I got out of the shower. I was even broken out on the parts of my body this product had touched. The acne persisted for 4 days after. Just the worst.
THE WORST 1
Breanna from Indianapolis
HOT TRASH!!!!!!!! After a couple uses it completely broke out my entire face! It's covered in little red bumps. Will never buy it again. I should've just stuck with the Garnier Micellar with rose water.
Garnier Micellar Water with Vitamin C 5
AC from Kokomo,IN
I'm not one to jump on trends quickly. I didn't with this micellar water. I decided to finally give it a chance. I absolutely love it. I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate my skin at all. Overall I think it does a great job at removing makeup.
Another great product from Garnier 5
GamerMom from Tennessee
I really love that this is a quick & easy way to remove makeup and cleanse my skin. Typically, I use this in the morning and follow with my morning skin care routine including SPF. At night, this is my first step before I double cleanse and follow with my night care routine. I have noticed that this does brighten the skin a bit. I've only been using this for about 2 weeks and today I noticed that my cheeks are red. I haven't introduced any new products other than this lately. I really hope that this is not the cause for the redness and whatever the cause may be it is temporary.
Love!!!! 5
Tori from Home
I have gone through so many of these I've definitely seen a change in my skin
Doesn't bother my sensitive skin 5
Artful from Burlington, WI
I switched to this formula as I have had good results with the brand for years. I like how simple it is to use, and that it does not have a strong fragrance.
Very gentle on the skin 5
Gj from Hemet CA
My skin is very sensitive and this product is perfect for me
Clean feeling! 4
Luffy from Yuma Arizona
I love the clean feeling this gives my face, light and fresh. It says you don't have to wash it off which I've tried. I prefer to wash it off kinda splash water onto my face bc it leaves a slight residue. Also it took my makeup off nicely! I also put some on a cotton pad and do circular motions on my face to freshen up throughout the day it feels nice.
broke me out soooo badly 1
saddgirlhours from san diego CA
This product broke me out so badly, I typically never have acne and now my whole face has tiny pimples all over it the morning after using it :( very disappointed since I love the other micellar waters by garnier. Supposed to be safe for sensitive skin but everyone is different! I haven't broken out like this since I tried the too faced hangover primer
