What is Your Skin Type?
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water is formulated with ingredients that meet specific skin needs, so knowing your skin type is essential for choosing the right one. Your personal skin care needs are based on the five common skin types: oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive. By accurately selecting your skin type, the Micellar Water Quiz can give you the best recommendations.
What is Your Top Skin Concern?
The ingredients in our micellar water formulas also address the various skin concerns of each skin type, for example, acne, dryness, sensitivity, and dullness. Depending on your top skin concern, they help restore it to health and balance by removing excess oil, relieving irritation or providing extra hydration. The right micellar water for your skin acts as a complement to your current skin care routine.
Do You Wear Makeup?
Micellar water has the power to gently remove different kinds of makeup, such as light or heavy foundation and waterproof eye makeup. The Micellar Water Quiz can determine if makeup wearers need a more potent or dual-phase cleansing water, or a more basic formula. Your best micellar water match depends on knowing if you always, sometimes or never wear makeup.

What are the benefits of micellar water?
Micellar water has many benefits, including gentle yet thorough rinse-free cleansing; no harsh ingredients that may strip or irritate the skin; and multiple formulas for all skin types and needs.
What are the ingredients in micellar water?
Micellar cleansing water is purified demineralized water with gentle surfactants (cleansers) and micelles suspended in it. Micelles effectively soak up dirt, oil, and makeup like a sponge; they trap and dissolve these impurities, making it easy to just wipe them away, no actual water or rinsing required.
How do I choose a good micellar water?
To choose a good micellar water, you must consider three factors:
• Skin type
• Main skin concerns like hydration, oil control or sensitivity
• Makeup removal
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water also includes targeted ingredients, so it’s important to look for ones that offer solutions like hydrating dry skin (glycerin) or mattifying oily skin (salicylic acid). There are also fragrance-free options that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
What skin type is micellar water best for?
Micellar cleansing water is a versatile cleanser for all types of skin, but each formula is optimized for their specific needs:
• Oily skin: Removes excess oil without stripping away the skin’s natural moisture
• Dry skin: Gently cleanses while adding and maintaining balanced hydration
• Sensitive skin: Soothes irritation with mild fragrance-free formulas
• Combination skin: Balances oil on the T-zone while providing all-over hydration
One of the best ways to personalize your skin care routine is to factor in your personal skin type and specific concerns. The same considerations go into choosing the best micellar water.
