What the gurus are saying

Garnier's salicylic acid micellar water earns praise for being part of an unusually broad range of micellar options, with one expert impressed enough to buy multiple formulas from the line. However, not all gurus are convinced by micellar waters as a category, so this may work better for those already partial to the texture. Only a couple of takes so far, so there's not much expert consensus yet.

"Garnier came out with a salicylic acid containing micellar cleansing water. Salicylic acid's great for blackheads and whiteheads. It gets down in the pore to exfoliate. It's also really good if you have seborrheic dermatitis. I'm just not a fan personally for me of the micellar waters."
