Micelles are made up of surfactants (non-soap cleansing agents) with a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a lipophilic (oil-loving) tail. These components work together to form micelles, which act like magnets to draw out impurities. By forming a sphere around dirt, oil, and makeup, micelles lift them away from the skin’s surface for effective yet gentle cleansing.

Micellar water is a specially formulated cleanser designed to remove make-up and impurities while being gentle on the skin. Unlike a classic toner, micellar water contains micelles—tiny cleansing agents invisible to the naked eye—that work to lift away dirt, oil, and pollution particles.

Garnier’s Micellar Water is optimally balanced with micelles to effortlessly remove make-up, sebum, and impurities. The formula is simple yet effective—our classic Micellar Water contains just seven key ingredients, including purified water, non-soap surfactants, and skin-loving hydrators like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep skin fresh and nourished.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, our Micellar Water can be used in the morning and evening to cleanse and refresh the skin or remove make-up while being gentle on the skin and without drying it.

Micellar Water can be used in multiple ways—first, as a make-up remover. Make it the first step in your evening cleansing routine to dissolve and lift away foundation, eyeshadow, mascara, and sunscreen from the day. For best results, soak a reusable pad, like our Eco Pads, with Micellar Water and gently sweep it across your face.

It also works perfectly as a morning cleanser or skin refresher. Simply wipe a reusable pad over your face before applying the rest of your skincare—no rinsing needed, making it the quickest way to start your day.

Micellar Water is an all-in-one product that works as a one-step cleanser and make-up remover, in just one simple gesture, with no need to rinse!

Garnier Micellar Water is more than just a make-up remover and cleanser—it’s a versatile essential with multiple unexpected uses.

Beyond skincare, it works wonders for spot-cleaning clothes, effortlessly removing make-up and deodorant stains. Simply apply it to a cotton pad and gently wipe the stain away. It’s also an effective way to clean make-up brushes, lifting dirt and residue without damaging the bristles.

Micellar Water has other practical benefits too. It helps clean glasses, especially for those with oily skin, by preventing them from slipping down the nose. It also removes sticker residue, hair dye stains from the hands, face, and neck, and even neutralises perfume on the skin. Plus, it’s perfect for cleaning make-up bags and packaging, drying quickly without leaving residue.

For make-up touch-ups, Micellar Water is a game-changer—simply apply it to a cotton bud or angled brush to fix smudged eyeliner or overdrawn brows with precision. Its versatility makes it a must-have in any daily routine!
