I was over the moon when I received the invite to trial this product - I've been hearing about Micellar Water for almost a year now but it's never been readily available in New Zealand until now!
I have very sensitive skin and can break out in bumpy rashes from numerous products. I don't know what causes the reaction so I'm always hesitant to try new cleansers (the usual culprit) and other skin care products. Thankfully I wasn't too concerned about trying Micellar Water as it's such a basic and simple product and it has no noticeable fragrance.
I am officially addicted to this product! I apply a few squirts to a cotton pad and then swipe it over my face to remove my makeup (it does a brilliant job) and also to clean my face before bed even if I've had a makeup free day. It doesn't strip the skin of essential oils and it doesn't leave the skin feeling tight and dry. I actually don't need to apply moisturiser after using this as my skin feels so "normal" and hydrated!
It foams up slightly on the cotton pad and feels so lovely and cooling on the skin. I can't rave about it highly enough!
I've been waiting forever for this product to come to New Zealand forever and it did not disappoint! Although it doesn't remove waterproof mascara (which it doesn't claim to), EVERYTHING else comes off super easily. I just have to swipe over an area once to loosen the products up and then swipe again to take it all off. It doesn't leave an oily or sticky residue making you feel like you need to rinse your face afterwards which I LOVE (I'm a uni student, so sometimes I just want to sleep and nothing else). However I do find that if I don't moisturise for a while after using, my skin starts to feel a little bit on the dry side. I have normal/combination skin, as well acne and this does not seem to have broken me out at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
