I was sent this to trial. I've been wanting to try micellar water, but I already had an eye makeup remover so was trying to use that up first.
Well, let me say I might not even bother with my other one. This product is amazing.
First off, it just looks like normal water. If you shake the bottle though, it will foam up (that's the micelle component). It has no smell and it's not sticky. For sensitive skin like mine, this is a good thing. I didn't react at all.
Initially, I used this to remove makeup and cleanse my face. This product is absolutely fantastic at removing eye makeup. You just wet your cotton pad with the water, hold it over your eye for a few seconds, and wipe. Everything came off after a couple of wipes. In terms of cleaning my face, it does, but I use a total of four cotton pads to do so.
As I don't have an unlimited supply of cotton pads, I instead use this to remove eye makeup, then as a toner after cleansing to remove any last traces.
I've also used this as a quick cleanse on days where I've worn no makeup, but the baby has been screaming. The pad is dirty. It just drives home the fact that your skin does accumulate dirt and pollution throughout the day.
On the whole, I would use this again. I'm really impressed that it is one of those rare products that completely works.
I have never used a micellar water before so did not know what to expect from it. I was excited after reading the bottle and looking at a few reviews. First Time I used it it was on a bare face but still ended up with a dirty cotton pad- very impressed it clearly did clean my skin. Had a slight residue after use but that dried and left my skin feeling nice. The next time I used it to get off my make up which took a long time to end up with a clean cotton pad but it definitely did the trick. Works on eye makeup too just didn't seem to work to get my water proof mascara off-but I have struggled to find something that does get it off other than oil. Cute packaging like that it comes in a small size for travel/storage
Tips: Soak the cotton pad
