Get Undone Faster: Simple MIcellar Water vs Garnier Fructis Micellar Water

I don’t know about you, but when I walk through the door at the end of the day…I’m done.  Spent.  The idea of doing anything else seems out of the question.

I’m at the age when taking care of my skin isn’t really an option anymore.  But if you knew how often I have an internal battle with myself trying to convince myself to get off the couch, wash my face and brush my teeth just so I can collapse into bed, you’d judge me.  Hard.


So when micellar waters started taking the US markets by storm, I was totally intrigued.  Skeptical, but intrigued.  I mean, I’m totally down for anything that can get me into bed quicker.

So I picked up the Simple Micellar Water right when it hit stores back in early 2015.  I wanted to love it.  I wanted it to be the answer to my prayers.  It wasn’t.  It took entirely too much effort.  Washing my face with as standard cleanser would have been quicker.  It took entirely too much product, and far too many of my coveted cotton rounds to do the job.  And it broke me out.  Fail.


But when I saw the Garnier Micellar Water hit the shelves about a month ago, I thought maybe just maybe it would be better.  You all know how I feel about the Garnier HydroRecharge Shampoo & Conditioner line, so I thought it might be worth a shot.  Garnier has stepped up their game recently.

Uhm, you guys?  Yes.  Yes yes yes yes.  First of all, I’m in love with the packaging.  Not important, no.  But we’re girls.  We like that stuff.  The product itself is exactly what I’ve been looking for.  It removes all of my makeup without harsh rubbing, and it even removes some waterproof makeup (I put that to the test the week of my father’s funeral).  It’s incredibly gentle on my sensitive skin.  It leaves my skin clean and refreshed without ever leaving it dry or tight.

I found mine at Rite Aid, but it’s now available at places like Target, Walmart, and other standard drug stores.  If you’ve been looking for the quickest way to get undone in the evenings, you have to give it a shot.
