You slosh this on a flat cotton pad until it is saturated and wipe it all over a dry face (with makeup or not–it will cleanse your face regardless).
Watch as the makeup leaves your face and gets deposited onto your cotton pad like magic!
You can then cleanse your face as normal.
Sensitive skin types will benefit greatly from this step as you can then proceed with a gentler, milder facial cleanser than typically required, since the cleanser doesn’t have to be strong enough to take off makeup as well.
Acne prone skins also benefit from this extra step since skin is more thoroughly removed of makeup (less clogged pores, skin that can “breathe” and receive acne treatments more effectively).
Oily skins benefit because micelles are extremely good at removing excess oils from the skin without stripping (which is a nasty habit of cleansers that claim to be made for oily skin — because stripped skin calls for more oil).
I absolutely love this this because it’s not rough on your skin, removes my most waterproof makeup super effectively, leaves my skin so daft & doesn’t feel like I used a pound of oil to remove makeup!
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a anyone!

I love this stuff, this is the first one I tried. I never got the fuss around Micellar Cleansing Waters until I tried it. Removes makeup really well including tough waterproof mascara. It also leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized.
I totally agree with you, I just received micellar water from L’Oreal and it’s not the same.
I love garniers the best.
