Looking for a reliable micellar water to remove makeup and refresh your skin? Here’s a side-by-side comparison of two options I’ve been using regularly—Bifesta and Garnier.

Both are budget-friendly and gentle enough for daily use, but let’s break down what makes each one stand out!

Bifesta Micellar Water

This one has earned a permanent spot in my routine. I’ve repurchased it countless times! The formula has a slightly cloudy, water-like texture and comes in a pump bottle that’s super convenient. It removes makeup quickly and thoroughly with just one swipe. While it’s a bit pricier than other drugstore options, the generous amount inside makes it worth every cent.

Garnier Micellar Water

Although I wasn’t a fan at first, I gave it another shot recently and I’m glad I did. The formula is light and alcohol-free, making it perfect for sensitive skin. While its cleansing power isn’t quite as strong as Bifesta’s (you might need a second swipe), it still gets the job done and feels extra gentle. Plus, the compact bottle is great for travel.

Which One Wins?

Bifesta is definitely more powerful when it comes to removing makeup quickly. However, Garnier’s gentle, no-sting formula makes it ideal for delicate or easily irritated skin. Both leave your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated—no tightness, no dryness.

Each micellar water has its strengths, so the best pick really depends on your skin's needs. Want deep cleansing with fewer swipes? Go for Bifesta. Prefer something light and gentle? Garnier might be your match. Give them both a try and see which one your skin loves most!
