I am all for the lazy girls' routine. No need to wash your face? Yes please! I grabbed a bottle of this micellar cleansing water as soon as it hit the shelves. It was a nice large size for a reasonable price. It's also 'safe' to use on sensitive skin so that's a plus.
However, I soon realised that it's much faster to just wash my face than to sit there with twenty cotton pads. This product also irritated my eyes somewhat, although since purchasing, I've noticed they now have released a sensitive version of micellar water.
Lastly, while I will use it at least once a week, it does leave a soapy residue on my face. I will definitely rinse my face after using this product just because I hate that sticky feeling. Looking at the ingredients, there are some 'soap'-like substances in there, and I'd much rather wash them away than let them absorb into my skin.
All in all, I will reach for this, but I won't tote it to be an amazing magical product like the advertising says.
It was my first time using a 'water' cleansing product. I used it with a cotton ball at the start and it wasn't that effective, especially in removing my mascara but after I bought some circular makeup removal pads it seems to work much better but I still have to use a few to get my face completely clean. The thing I like about it is that it doesn't dry my skin out and I don't feel like I need to put any moisturiser on it after using.
Tips: Use a circular makeup removal pad, not a cotton ball or tissue.
