I've been using micellar water for some time now to clean my face at the end of the day.  That's why I was happy to test out this Vichy product, since it's a brand I haven't used before.  I can say that the small bottle is pretty.  Prettier than the bottle my Garnier micellar water comes in.  So this wins in presentation.

Unfortunately, that's the only category this Vichy micellar water wins in my estimation.  The Garnier brand leaves my face feeling much cleaner and smoother than the Vichy, while the Vichy feels a bit soapy when wet on my face, takes longer to dry, and leaves my face feeling much drier than the Garnier does.  The Garnier has no oil, alcohol, or fragrance.  The Vichy has hexylene glycol, panthenol and parfum.  The Garnier comes in a 13.5 ounce bottle and costs about a dollar or more less than the 3.38 ounce bottle of Vichy.  Both Garnier and Vichy remove the small amount of make-up I use with no problem so there's a tie there.

So, no thanks.  I won't be buying this Vichy micellar water again when this bottle is empty.  My sister who is visiting me also tried it a few times and said it left her face feeling sticky and not refreshed.  If a product does not perform well and costs much more than a competing brand, it's obvious which one I will continue to use in the future.
