Micellar water: Your all-in-one cleansing solution
Micellar water was developed in France more than 20 years ago as an antidote to tight, dry skin caused by hard water. Since then, the product’s all-in-one approach to skin care has found mass appeal. More than just basic H2O, micellar solution falls somewhere between a cleanser and a toner; it lifts away dirt and makeup and traps sebum inside non-ionic cleansing agents called micelles.
A simple swipe of a micellar water-soaked cotton pad removes impurities—no tugging, rubbing or rinsing required—leaving your skin hydrated and irritation-free. For stubborn makeup (think mascara or lipstick), apply the solution to a cotton pad and hold it against the area for five seconds, then swipe to remove.
