Common questions
Is Garnier Micellar Salicylic Cleansing Water fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Garnier Micellar Salicylic Cleansing Water contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 4th of 11 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.
Is Garnier Micellar Salicylic Cleansing Water safe for fungal acne?
None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 2 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Garnier Micellar Salicylic Cleansing Water suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
Is there a dupe for Garnier Micellar Salicylic Cleansing Water?
The closest formula from another brand in our catalogue is La Roche-Posay Sensitive Micellar Water (38% ingredient overlap, 6 of the top 10 ingredients in common). A similar ingredient list doesn't guarantee the same concentrations, texture or results.
