Rovectin Clean Marine Micellar Deep Cleansing Water 30 ingredients
A very gentle and hydrating micellar water. It gets rid of my makeup effectively, except for waterproof mascara. I don’t experience any irritation and it leaves my skin feeling a bit more hydrated. I still prefer using an oil cleanser to remove makeup, but this is a good micellar option. Plus, it comes in a big bottle.
I identify more as sensitive than dry, but I found it stripping my skin constantly. I’m thinking I just had a bad reaction to the sea salt but even just on the back of my hand it dried my skin out significantly too. It even worsened my eczema on my wrist. I couldn’t even push myself to finish the bottle my reaction was that bad.
