Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water 15 ingredients
Unfortunately, as with almost every micellar water, it started breaking me out in the long run... tiny pimples and clogged pores. Please wash your face after using it. Otherwise, all you’re doing is smearing the dirt all over your face.
I’ll simply never be a fan of micellar water and cotton wipes. Even when I tried washing it off, it just ended up drying out my skin.
Hands down, my favorite micellar cleanser. I use it every morning to start my skin care routine. It gently cleans off my heavy nighttime products and leaves the perfect base for the rest of my morning routine.
It also works well at removing any residual eye makeup that I missed after my nighttime cleanse.

Takes off waterproof mascara
It takes off waterproof mascara perfectly but I'm sad to find out its not cruelty-free (or vegan for that matter)
Cheap and removes makeup well but it burns and leaves a residue that is hard to wash off. Caused my skin to be irritated even after I washed it off, and broke me out with continuous use. I tried to remove mascara with it, but couldn't get it near my eyes without them stinging badly.
