Every now and again, one product enters my beauty routine and never really leaves. It becomes a constant among a slew of ever-changing toners, serums, and face creams. Empty bottles gather in my garbage can and I hardly go a day without it. The Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water (opens in new tab)100 percent falls into this category for me—and it's on super sale, so I have every reason to stock up.
If you're unfamiliar, micellar waters (opens in new tab) contain tiny micelles that attract and gently remove makeup from the skin while keeping it fresh, no washing required. They're a great first step if you're wearing heavy eye makeup or can serve as a one-and-done step for your lighter makeup days.
This option from Garnier was designed with all skin types in mind (even sensitive!) to guarantee a clean end result without irritation. The formula is also oil-free so it won't leave behind residue on the skin or clog your pores. Even better, a two-pack is actually retailing for only $10.94 as a part of Amazon's ongoing Holiday Beauty Haul (opens in new tab) event. That means that you can stock up on a few bottles now—and get it shipped to you in no time thanks to the site's Prime Shipping feature—with ease. The duo originally retailed for $14, so now is truly the best time to buy.
Simply pour the micellar water onto a cotton round, swipe it onto your face, and you'll be good to go. For pesky long-wearing formulas (opens in new tab), lightly press the saturated cotton round onto the area for a few seconds before you swipe. This guarantees that you won't tug too hard on your gentle eye area in the process. A product that makes taking off your makeup even easier? Consider me a forever fan.
