Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Masking

Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.

This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.

You'll most likely find this ingredient in cleansers where it is used to create a gel-like texture. As an emulsifier, it also prevents ingredients from separating.

The concensus about this ingredient causing acne seems to be divided. Research is needed to understand if this ingredient does cause acne.

Scrubs may use salt as the primary exfoliating ingredient.

Does a good job of removing makeup and sunscreen without irritating my oily acne prone skin, followed by a cleanser. Cons: heavy fragrance and it dries quickly, so a lot of product is needed and it can be harsh when using with a cotton pad to make the most of it . But still a safer option than a cleansing milk ,oil or balm for my acne , so would repurchase.👍

Nice for waterproof makeup
I have oily skin, so I only use this micellar water to remove my waterproof mascara and my eyeliner. I don't use it for my whole face because I don't usually wear foundation, I mostly just wear eyeliner, eyebrow filler and mascara. Works great if you wan't to remove your eye makeup without pain, irritation or having to scratch your eyelashes, I just use a cotton pad and Show more
