Garnier, why is literally the second ingredient acne causing... why? It's micellar water, how did you mess this up?
As a makeup remover it does it's job and it is cheep too but that's about it.
The instructions say that after using it you don't have to rinse it off but it leaves this weird sticky but dry feeling to your skin after usage.
I also clense after I use micellar water so I end up rinsing off the vitamin C. So what is the point off getting sth fancy when normal micellar water works just as fine Show more

Okay so I have acne prone skin and I’m currently using differin at 1%. I love this. Whenever I wear makeup (or do not have the energy to wash my face), this is my life savior. It gets rid of everything (and is more effective on waterproof mascara than the others, yes even the oil one). Most importantly, it does not break me out! It is also much more hydrating than anything I’ve tried before.
isnt very drying and works well
