Like many others, I really paid no mind to the hype around Micellar water. A fad at best and one that would be gone before you know it. Years later, it's still around and its evolution has made allowance for most, if not all skin types. Initially I used the pink bottle of Garnier Micellar Water. Not impressed by the texture it created or the film left on my skin, I found myself shying away from the product and sticking to my face masks, serums and exfoliators. This formulation clearly stated that is for "all skin types". An indication I should have paid attention to because it goes without saying that it wouldn't be suitable for my dehydrated skin. However, none of my previous complaints were relevant once I gave the oil-infused water and wipes a try. I got along with it so well that I even travel with a pack of wipes in my bag. Even though I have dry skin, I found that cleansing throughout the day doesn't add to my dryness or dehydrate my skin further.
There have been mixed reviews about the scent of the product. However, I have not experienced any pungent or long lasting smells from using it on my face. A light citrus scent escapes the bottle once the cap is popped. With that being said, I don't find it to be a smell that lingers.
