I was excited to trial this product, having read a lot of great things about it.
Pros: - Generous 400ml sized bottle with simple but eye catching graphics. I'm slightly skeptical of the bottle containing enough for 200 uses. Maybe if you don't wear full makeup. - The water has a neutral 'fresh' smell. No cloying perfume, which I appreciated. I used it on a cotton makeup remover pad and it glided easiky over my skin. - I have red hair and the obligatory pale, sensitive skin. The water left my skin feeling slightly tingly, like with a very mild toner. I have always been a creamy cleanser, toner & moisturiser girl, using a washcloth instead of wipes or tissues. I always use an organic cleansing range for my normal routine due to sensitive skin. This product caused no adverse reactions. There's a slight tacky feeling afterwards, like with gels or serums. - All foundation came off relatively easily but it did require using 2-3 cotton pads.
Cons: - I struggled to remove waterproof mascara.
Over the course of a week I ended up using my normal cleanser for evenings, when I had a full face of makeup to remove. Then I used the Micellar Water to remove the last traces of makeup. In the morning I used the water by itself. Definitely a great product to have in your beauty product stash.
For far too long now i have failed to get into any type of cleansing routine....Not that other products didn't work... just that they were far too much hassle. Ok I admit it sometimes I can be a little lazy, however this is where this amazing product comes in FINALLY a cleanser that doesn't require a sinkful of warm water and more washing. I found it so simple to use that it might even make it into a reqular thing. Does it do the job?? Well no breakouts of the dreaded spots and fantastic at removing the odd bit of make up i did wear (first few days of Uni and all..) It says on the bottle no fragrance which is another tick right there, they call it a water and its easy to see why, if it wasn't for the opening on top it could easily be mistaken for a bottle of water ( in the dark by your sleepy partner) Overall thumbs up for this product from me
Tips: No face cloth = less washing but dont forget your cotton squares!!
