Garnier Micellar Rose Cleansing Water For Dull Skin, Glow Boosting Cleanser and Makeup Remover, Recognised By The British Skin Foundation, Use With Reusable Micellar Eco Pads, 700 ml

Product Information

Micelle particles attract impurities and excess sebum like a magnet, engulfing and lifting them away to reveal freshly cleansed skin. Enriched with hydrating rosehip oil and regenerating pastel rose extracts, skin is left feeling comfortable and conditioned, perfectly prepped for toner. To make your search easier, we identified 32 top-rated micellar waters that work across all skin types. Then we recruited a team of testers to analyze each formula and rate them based on their feel, absorption, effectiveness, hydration, and overall appearance after application. Ultimately, we were able to narrow down the original pool of products to the 10 best micellar waters on the market. With five stars across the board, Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 stands out because it effortlessly cleans away every bit of makeup and dirt without stripping the skin of essential moisture.

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. I certainly credit my education to Susan on showing the proper way of formulating & Marie your blog certainly taught me also! It was the first one I believe that got me going & while I’m busy busy in my own work shop I stop in from time to time to see what my 2 favorite girls are up to..but not to STEAL anyone’s work …as I know you’d not do either …had to vent a tad on your behalfIf you are looking for alternatives I’d start with the ingredient lists of well-reviewed micellar waters available on on the market. This supercharged micellar water effortlessly removes dirt and oil, cleansing skin at a micro-level to leave it thoroughly detoxed and renewed. Supercharged with hydrating and regenerating rose extracts, it boosts skins hydration levels by over 80%, leaving it perfectly clean, hydrated and refreshed without drying it out. Used by me. I have used them all so I can give some personal insight, rather than just regurgitating marketing materials from the brands themselves (although all of the marketing is truly excellent, which is why I bought them in the first place!)

I recommend using micellar water to cleanse in the morning. You’ll have gone to bed with clean skin, and the only thing on your skin’s surface is residue from any skincare products you might have worn overnight,” Dr. Yadav shares. “To fully remove makeup or sunscreen, however, I’d suggest a true cleanse." This is when a cleansing balm would come in handy. Given the nature of micellar water, and the more limited ingredients available to home crafters it is not surprising if we are using the same ingredients. Again—I do not know what she used because I have NEVER seen her formula. I know Susan and I are both Canadian and as such get many of our ingredients from the same suppliers (this precise surfactant was recommended to me by Michele of Windy Point—a place I know we both shop from). I tried nearly every liquid surfactant available in Canada before selecting this one; if Susan did the same thing I suspect she would come to the same conclusion. 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. When shopping for this ingredient (and any ingredient, really, but especially this one!), please make sure you are looking at the INCI. I’ve had many people ask me if Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (aka Medium Chain Triglycerides) and/or Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside are the same ingredient as PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. The answer is no—the INCIs don’t match. They’re similar because they’re from the same source material, but they’ve been processed differently and are not the same thing at all. Think of it a bit like corn: it can be transformed into all kinds of products like cornstarch, corn meal, and corn syrup, but none of those ingredients are interchangeable even though they’re all made from corn.Micellar water. Effective face cleanser. Infused with hydrating rose extracts. Fragrance-free. All skin types. 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. Buying cruelty free isn’t hard these days. But I have genuinely struggled with micellar water. I hope this list gives you some good alternatives and you can wipe away makeup (and the rest) knowing no animals have been harmed in the process. How do we create this list? I’ve had good results using Sodium Lactate, Vegetable Glycerin, Propanediol 1,3, and/or sorbitol for the humectant part—on their own or blended. Just keep it adding up to 1% and you’re good to go.
