Cruelty Free
$8.82
Garnier’s pink-cap micellar water is the Amazon bulk buy for a reason. Fine for light days; waterproof mascara still needs a dedicated remover.

The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For a no-rinse wipe when skin hates a tight cleanse. Follow with moisturizer.
Formula standards
4.5/5
Watery, on a pad. It can leave a film. The waterproof bottle is the stronger one.
The verdict
Fine for light makeup. Use the waterproof micellar if mascara is stubborn.
