Garnier SkinActive Gentle Peeling Micellar Water with 1% PHA and Glycolic Acid, Face Exfoliant, Facial Cleanser and Makeup Remover, 2 Pack

Works great but has a weird smell...kindof like mildew. I know that sound odd.

I've used micellar water before but I didn't realize they had one that gently exfoliates. I always have dry skin around my mouth, eyes, cheeks and chin where there would be these little white things (they look like hair?) it was dry skin and oil on my face that no amount of scrubbing would get rid off without making my face red and irritated. I happened on this as I was looking for a powder exfoliant and for some reason this popped up (knowing good and well IT'S NOT A POWDER EXFOLIANT) I still bought it and thought if it didn't work I'll just buy something else. I don't need to! I do use a lot of this product as I use this twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. The other reason is because I soak my reusable face rag with it even though I know I don't need to. I bought this product in December 2023 and I'm writing this review March 2024. I'm more than half way done with my second bottle and will be buying another two pack this month. I refuse to go back to a crusty face. I am a black (American) woman with combination skin and I deal with eczema. I also use this product with a soap bar cleanser (VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover - natural soap bars with turmeric) and a snail mucin based skin care set (Peach Slices Snail Rescue set) I hope this review helps!

Good price and quick delivery. I love how soft my skin is since using this product.

I use this twice a day to clean my face. It takes off Estée Lauder extended wear foundation and eye pencils with ease. Does not sting or leave a scent. So easy to use. I have it on subscribe and save so I never run out.

Clean and bright skin after the first use

PHA is suppose to be a much gentler exfoliant compared to my usual chemical exfoliants which I love but can't use right now.I shower before bed. But I have tret face, so in the morning I have to get in the shower and steam my face to get all the peelies off and it’s a pain. Both figuratively and literally, bc it takes quite a bit of rubbing to get them off. I can't use my usual chemical exfoliants to do this bc it burns and turns my face red.Today, I skipped the AM shower and just used this micellar water w a cotton pad. OMG, no pain, no burning and I was able to get the skin down to a smooth texture after a couple of minutes without any of the irritation and redness. My make up looks so much better...I've been a hideous even after rubbing my face in the shower and now I feel good about myself again.

I love micellar water and switched to this kind recently (always with this brand) and loving it so far. Keeps my face feeling fresh. I previously used the yellow bottle and almost felt a residue afterwards but this one leaves my fave feeling fresh. Originally I only wanted to buy one bottle, buy glad I got the two pack since I love it and will have a back up now!

Me ayuda mucho con la limpieza del maquillaje de mi rostro, y me ha ido disminuyendo las imperfecciones.
