Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

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
Garnier, why is literally the second ingredient acne causing... why? It's micellar water, how did you mess this up?

I used these a night when I was feeling lazy and payed the price the following day with dry, irritated skin.
Terrible!
It removes makeup but at what cost?! My skin was so red and stung after using these. Gave 1 star because I can't give 0.
