Battle of the Cleansing Waters
In one corner the Simple Micellar cleansing water In the other corner the Garnier Miceallar cleansing water
There are three "Rounds" I've broken these into I've broken them into: Price, Packaging, and the actual Product itself
Price: Both are under 10 dollars Simple - between $5-7 for 6.7 ounces depending on which drugstore you go to Garnier- $7-9 for 13 ounces again, depending on where you go. Doing the math, Simple costs $0.75- $1 PER ounce, while the Garnier costs $.53- 0.69 per ounce
Packaging: The Garnier has a flimsy, thin plastic bottle with a strange cap, it doesn't always close all the way which is really scary if you're traveling or if it falls because it could spill everywhere. The simple has a lot better packaging. The bottle is a lot thicker and sturdier, and the cap is a normal cap so it closes completely every single time.
Product: Here's a weird thing to keep in mind. The Garnier left my face feeling greasy. I'm not looking for that in a cleansing water. I feel like I have to wipe my face with a towel afterwards. It does take off my make up, but I don't have that clean face feeling. The simple brand on the other hand is my tried and true. It feel like water, takes all the gunk off my face and when it dries my face feels so clean.
So how'd we do?
If you're looking for a gentle makeup remover that works, but you know you're washing your face after wards, get the Garnier cleansing water it's great.
If you're looking for that AND a fresh feeling result where washing the face isn't a necessary step, go simple
Have you tried either of these or both, let me know what you think!
