A peeling water?
This unique combination of micellar water and a gentle chemical exfoliant makes your makeup remover work harder for your skin. A heavy hitting multi-tasker, Garnier’s Micellar Gentle Peeling Water with 1% PHA + Glycolic Acid makes true skin care out of a gentle makeup remover that leaves skin feeling cool and radiant. It’s strong enough to remove even waterproof makeup, while it provides a gentle chemical exfoliant that clears dead skin cells and cleanses.
The Benefits:
This formula combines the makeup removing power of micellar water with the smoothing and toning power of glycolic acid and 1% PHA. The effect is a no-rinse makeup-remover that can replace your cleanser, which I did do in the evenings. Simply saturate a cotton pad and gently cleanse your face. It’s safe for the eyelids, but definitely be careful not to get any in your eyes—you may experience some mild stinging and need to rinse with water.
For my experience, the Gentle Peeling Water was able to remove longwear makeup in one or two passes of an eco-pad, even lip stain, without any heavy scrubbing or re-saturation. The feeling afterwards is a light coolness on the skin, almost like a soft breeze. Skin looks bright and refreshed afterwards, with texture and tone improving overtime.
My skin is notoriously sensitive and reactive, and I found the Gentle Peeling Water to be refreshing and cleansing. I even use it in the morning at the start of my skin-care routine for that cool sensation, just because it makes my skin feel awake.
