Although many are smitten already with the Bioderma Micellar Cleansing Water, (as was I) I thought it was important to provide a review as well as comparison with the Garnier version. Firstly the most significant difference between the two cleansers is their price. The Bioderma varies in retail price as it is not sold in the major drugstore chains currently in the UK, however, for the 500ml bottle it ranges between £13- £16. The Garnier water is currently sold at both Boots and Superdrug for £5.99, however, i purchased mine at the steal price of £2.99 from my local Savers. Evidently, despite the Garnier water being slightly smaller (400ml), it is the clear winner regarding how much product you get for your money. However, i should mention that this is not just about quantity, but quality. After trying both products out day and night, for the last several weeks, i have noticed the much loved Bioderma was not as gentle as made out as i felt a stinging sensation in my eyes, i thought i was having a reaction! which was rather unpleasant as i bought it specifically for its highly acclaimed status for the gentle removal of eye makeup. As a result, i went back to using my Garnier Simply Essential 2 in 1 Makeup Remover, and used the Bioderma for the rest of my face. The Garnier water however, did not cause a reaction, and for me is identical in the way it removes your makeup. All in all, i recommend the Garnier water as it is not only drastically cheaper, but more available, doesn't cause irritatation, and removes makeup the same, if not better as the Bioderma cleanser.
Move over Bioderma, i predict the Garnier Micellar Water to be the new cult product!
