Micellar cleansing waters are all the hype at the moment and I for one am a big fan. It started with the infamous bioderma which I haven’t tried but I do think it’s slightly overpriced for what it is, especially as there are so many cheaper versions on the market now. I think part of the reason cleansing waters are so popular is the fact they are so simple to use, they’re great for the lazy person inside everyone as you don’t have to rinse your face or pitch about with oils and creams. You simply just apply some of the cleansing water on to a cotton pad and wipe it over your face to remove all your make up and to cleanse your face. I’ve tried out a good few cleansing waters over the recent months but I’ve now found my two favourites and I thought I’d do a little comparison.
The Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water retails at 3.99 for 400ml and the Nivea Daily Essentials 3 In 1 Sensitive Micellar Cleansing Water retails at £2.03 for 200ml. The Garnier cleanser is great value as you get 400ml, it does say on the bottle this is 200 uses worth which I personally think is a bit of an exaggeration but I have gone through a bottle before and it’s lasted me a good month and a half. The actual formula is surprisingly good at removing every bit of you make up and giving a deep cleanse, the one thing I would say though is that compared to the Nivea one this feels a lot harsher on the skin. The Nivea cleaning water feels very soft and moisturizing when you apply it but it doesn’t give such a deep clean feeling as the Garnier one. Both products have near the exact same ingredients but the Nivea cleanser has grape seed oil which is what I think gives it the softer and more mmoisturizing feel on the skin. Overall I think the Nivea cleanser is the slightly better product simply due to the fact it feels softer on the skin but the Garnier cleanser is the best value due to the amount of product you get for the price, I do feel as though most Micellar waters do pretty much the same job so my advice would be to just get the one that’s going to be the best value.
