My God! How did i not know about double cleansing with micellar water?
After trying it consistently for one month, every night paired with Avene clearance cleanser my skin became sooo much better.
I'm always in shock when I look at the cotton pad after cleansing even I don't wear makeup at all.
My skin feels a lot more smoother, cleaner, and actually more light? idk lol.
If you have a sensitive, reactive acne prone like me you should consider getting this rather than an oil cleanser.
Do you still use micellar and avene cleanser? I just ditched my oil cleanser because oils give me cystic acne and bought micellar instead.

I use this as my first step in every routine. It's gentle but it cleanses deeply. I'm not particularly fond of cleasing oils, so I use this instead. Obs: even though it says it's not needed to wash after using it, I do think it's best to rinse it off.
