Cleansing water vs cleansing and toning

Cleansing water appears to be a life saver these days but is it really as good as people make out? I love cleansing my face and know too well how important it is to do so after wearing make-up. I also love Garnier and have been using their cleansing and toning products for a very long time now. It 's no surprise then that I recently jumped on the bandwagon and bought their cleansing water too. 


In terms of cleansing my face and getting rid of any excess make-up I don't think this product is as good as the classic cleansing and toning routine I have adhered to for years. The main reason for this being that the water itself isn't as powerful in terms of removing any excess make-up or dirt from the skin. My skin doesn't feel like it has been cleansed either which is something I look for in a product. After cleansing and toning, my skin looks much cleaner and also feels much tighter and smoother too. Unlike the cleansing water, my cleanser and toner also help to control my spots too.

Even though this cleansing water was brilliant value for money - only £3.99 from Boots for this huge bottle - I don't think I will be repurchasing. Obviously it works to a certain degree but I much prefer the classic cleansing and toning routine that has been around for years. It works much more effectively (for me anyway) and isn't as expensive as some of the cleansing waters on the market at the moment. Obviously this is only one cleansing water which has been tried and tested so by no means does this apply to cleansing waters as a whole.

What experiences do you have using cleansing water?

  1. I love the Garnier cleansing water, I use it as the first part of my skincare routine, but will always follow it it up with a proper face wash and toner afterwards :) xx

    1. It is good isn't it and really good value for money too! That's good. I was just using it on its own but alongside other cleansing products I am sure it would be much more effective.

  2. I use cleansing water as I'm lazy! But definitely agree it doesn't feel like as good a cleanse as the more traditional way.

    What I want to try is getting the bulk off with water then double cleansing and using a cleanser to get the last bits off

    1. Haha least your'e honest ;) I know what you mean though. It's definitely quicker than the more traditional method of cleansing and toning! Yeah that sounds like a plan! I always seem to leave a little bit of make-up on, it's difficult to get every last bit off I think!

  3. As much as I love micellar water and how its kind to sensitive skin... I use this to remove dirt/make up from my cream carpets. Is it really that good for using on your face, if it cleans carpets... something to think about lol xx
