Garnier Micellar Rose Water For Dull Skin 400 ml, Glow Boosting Face Cleanser and Makeup Remover, Recognised By The British Skin Foundation, Use With Reusable Micellar Eco Pads

Product Information

As of 2023, here’s the price breakdown for making unscented micellar water, shopping at Lotion Crafter. Micellar water is a gentle cleansing solution containing micelles, tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules, suspended in soft water. These micelles attract dirt, oil, and makeup, lifting them away from the skin. It provides effective cleansing without the need for rinsing or harsh scrubbing. The ingredient I fussed with the most was the surfactant/solubilizer. I tried five different ones: cocamidopropyl betaine, polysorbate 80, Olivem300, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, and PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. Some experiments got down to 0.18% of surfactant and I still didn’t like the after-feel (and also found the performance was starting to drop off). If you are looking for alternatives I’d start with the ingredient lists of well-reviewed micellar waters available on on the market.

If you choose to alter the surfactant you’re on your own. I experimented with many surfactants and this one was the only one worth sharing, recommending, or using. To use micellar water, simply apply a few drops of the solution onto a cotton pad and gently apply to your skin. If you’re using a micellar water to remove any makeup or sunscreen, follow with your preferred cleanser. Otherwise, no need to rinse. As Dr. Yadav says, micellar waters fully cleanse your skin without making it feel squeaky clean or tight. Although there are some common features (like the consistency and appearance of the two), micellar water is different from toner. In essence, micellar water acts as a cleanser, whereas toner is an additional step used after cleansing. Skincare should be simple and straightforward, and Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Micellar Water is as easy as it gets. Formulated with vitamins B3, B5, and C, this water enriches the skin with gentle ingredients while cleansing away all traces of makeup and dirt. If you’re looking to incorporate micellar water into your routine, this budget-friendly product is a great place to start: It’s gentle, easily removes grime, and comes at a great price point. Not to mention, the product efficiently removes makeup, too, so you get a great two-for-one. The simple ingredients thoroughly clean the skin and absorb excess oil. “I am very impressed with the way the product works; It effectively removed all my makeup to the point where using this was better than washing my face,” our tester shares. She notes that it also made her face feel slightly tingly, but in a good, refreshed way. You could also swap out some of the distilled water for other watery ingredients like witch hazel or aloe vera juice.Micellar cleansing agents: to effectively remove impurities and make-up while ensuring good skin tolerance *Vegan formula with no ingredients or derivatives of animal origin.

Rose has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and calm the skin. It's a natural astringent, which means it tightens the pores and restores suppleness for a natural glow. Additionally, its pleasant aroma adds a refreshing sensory touch to the skincare routine. Originally a French skincare staple, micellar water is a multitasking product loved for its ability to cleanse skin and remove makeup, all in one step. A great alternative to makeup wipes and face washes, the rinse-free formulas are gentle yet effective. The thing is, with micellar water’s popularity rising, finding the right one for your skin concerns can feel like a daunting task. Since micellar waters can be used to remove makeup, including around the eyes, they should not be harsh or full of chemical fragrances or strong ingredients that can irritate the delicate and sensitive eye area.

If you want your micellar water to provide even more benefits than cleansing and makeup removal, look for ones that contain additional ingredients like antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, oils, and plant extracts, like the organic essential oils in the Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser. Finding the right ingredients for your needs is super important for maintaining your skin’s moisture barrier and preventing any breakouts. According to Geeta Yadav, M.D., board certified dermatologist and founder of FACET dermatology, micellar water with fragrances, essential oils, or alcohol should be avoided, especially for those with sensitive skin. “These ingredients can make the formula sensitizing, which defeats its purpose as a gentle cleanser,” she says. “You can look for micellar waters that use purified or spring water, but otherwise, there isn’t anything critical to look for.” Purified and spring waters are rich in minerals that aid in your skin’s health. (Both Vichy Purete Thermale Mineral Micellar Water and Eau Thermale Avene Micellar Lotion Cleansing Water contain unique mineral waters.) And your comment was not “deleted”—it was held for moderation, which is the default for new commenters. You would’ve received a notice stating as much when you submitted your comment. Reply Because this product is a cleansing lotion, it’s no surprise it nourishes your skin barrier. But, it also gently removes pollutants, relieving skin of the harmful pore-clogging particles. It’s worth noting that this does have a faint smell, but our tester says it’s a nice, subtle addition. “The scent is gentle and soothing — very pleasant and not too overpowering.” All in all, our tester loves the product so much she started integrating it into her routine. “I would say Avene lives up to its brand name in creating such high-quality products,” she adds. Although non-fragrant products are great for sensitive skin, our tester wishes there was a light fragrance. But even without, she shares that she plans on buying this product because she loves it so much.
