Why we love micellar water

We talk about dual-purpose beauty products all the time (get a load of these incredible multi-tasking goodies), but micellar water’s on another level. Good for your skin and great at removing make-up, it’s a total beauty game-changer and, in my opinion, one of the best skincare inventions yet. Need more convincing? Here’s a handy video explaining what it is, why I love it so much and how to use it.

Used in video:

What is micellar water?

Micellar water looks and feels a lot like a toner, except that it contains oil molecules to work as a cleanser.

Who is it suitable for?

It’s suitable for all skin types (sensitive, normal and oily).

How much does it cost?

It’s also great value, costing roughly $15 for 200mL. Hot tip: The Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Water is a steal at $12.99 for 400mL.

How do I use micellar water?

Squeeze a little bit of micellar water onto a cotton pad, and then wipe it gently across your face to remove make-up and impurities. Your skin should feel super-soft and clean afterwards.

Any tips?

Always! Make sure you use a cotton pad for the best result (a tissue won’t work as well).

Are you a fan of micellar water? Or, do you now want to try it?

I still haven't tried micellar water yet - this video was a great reminder to go pick some up!

I love how after I've used a makeup removal wipe to remove everything, and then use a toner, but then, the Micellar water continues to remove even more makeup. Love it and love trying new waters too!

I use the bioderma one and it's wonderful but I'm definitely going to try the Garnier one when it's finished because it's so much more affordable.

The Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Water is my holy grail micellar water. I haven't tried the L'Oreal one yet.

I use the Garnier Water, its excellent for refreshing skin and also removing makeup at the end of the day. Its gentle and effective.

I didn't know that L'Oreal had a micellar water too. I'm currently using the Garnier stuff, and I have the Bioderma water waiting in the wings.

I have heard so much about Micellar water but I have never used it before. Can it only be used to remove makeup or can you use it on bare skin as well? Either way I would love to give it a try!

Sounds Great! I have seen articles on how good it is for your skin and great at removing make-up. I would love to try the product. Simple products are also nice affordable skincare.

I use Bioderma to remove any last traces of make up. I really love it, and I reckon Bioderma is definitely the best. I have used the Garnier version, but I don't think it's as good as Bioderma.

I have used the Garnier Micellar water and bought it on special at Coles. Best $8 spent IMO. You get a lot of product and although it does not get rid of all makeup in one swipe, you don't have to worry about using it all up quickly. I always keep one in my makeup stash. I'm pretty sure the Bioderma one would be better quality wise but it is also a lot more expensive. I'll stick with Garnier.

I've tried the Avene one and another one (can't remember the brand) but these one's look like good ones too. Looks like lots of brands are catching on to the popularity of a micellar water!

Looks like a great pre-cleanse product from those piccys!
