Garnier SkinActive Gentle Peeling Micellar Water 2-Pack — 1% PHA + Glycolic, No-Rinse Exfoliating Makeup Remover

Garnier SkinActive Gentle Peeling Micellar Water is a no-rinse micellar cleanser that exfoliates and removes makeup using 1% PHA and glycolic acid for visibly smoother skin.

This dual-purpose micellar water works as a cleansing, exfoliating, and makeup-removing step in your skincare routine. Formulated to be gentle on skin while supporting surface renewal, it combines PHA and glycolic acid to refine texture and micelles to lift makeup, oil, and sunscreen without rinsing. The alcohol- and fragrance-free formula is designed for frequent use and pairs well with reusable cleansing pads.

How does this product remove makeup and impurities?

The micellar technology acts like tiny magnets to lift dirt, oil, and makeup from skin without heavy rubbing. You can use a soaked cotton pad or a reusable micellar pad to sweep the face, eyes, and lips until the pad is clean. No water is required after use, making it convenient for busy mornings or travel.

• Micelles capture and remove debris, makeup, and sunscreen
• No-rinse formula for quick cleansing
• Effective on face and eye makeup with gentle application

What does the exfoliating action feel like and who is it for?

Gently exfoliating acids help smooth uneven texture and reveal brighter-looking skin over time without harsh scrubbing. The 1% PHA with glycolic acid is selected for surface renewal while remaining suitable for many skin types, including sensitive skin, because PHAs are known to be milder than stronger AHAs. Always patch test when introducing an acid-containing product.

• 1% PHA plus glycolic acid for surface gentle renewal
• Formulated to be mild and alcohol-free for sensitive skin compatibility
• Use as a daily toner or cleansing step depending on skin tolerance

How should I include this micellar water in my routine?

Use it as a first cleanse to remove makeup and sunscreen, as a quick morning cleanse to refresh skin, or as a toner-like exfoliant after cleansing. Apply to a pad and sweep over the face until the pad is clear; follow with your serums and moisturizer. If using other active acids or retinoids, adjust frequency to avoid irritation.

• Morning: quick cleanse or toner step before moisturizer and SPF
• Evening: first cleanse to remove makeup, then follow with treatments
• Combine with reusable micellar pads for eco-friendly use

Is this product free from harsh additives and suitable for sensitive skin?

The formula is crafted without added fragrance and without drying alcohols to reduce potential irritation. While it contains exfoliating acids, the lower PHA concentration and absence of fragrance make it a calmer option for sensitive skin types; still monitor for any redness or discomfort when first used.

• Fragrance-free and alcohol-free base to limit irritation
• Lower-concentration acids aimed at gentler exfoliation
• Compatible with a variety of skin care rituals when used mindfully

Who this product is for: This micellar water suits shoppers seeking a convenient, multi-use cleanse that also provides light chemical exfoliation. It's aimed at people who want to remove makeup and sunscreen quickly, refine skin texture without harsh scrubs, and incorporate an easy no-rinse step into morning or evening routines. If you use stronger actives, sensitive to acids, or prefer scent-free care, this formula was created with those considerations in mind.
