Simple Micellar Water Review

The first thing I hear you (and myself) ask, is “what is Micellar water”. Is it just water? Is it a cleanser? Is it a makeup remover? Is it soap? All useful questions that required a google search for a definitive answer. Micellar water is in fact a makeup remover and cleanser in the form of a water type liquid. The name comes from the French word Micelle’s which are tiny balls of oil. Micellar water contains these oils, vitamins and other good ingredients that allow you to remove your makeup and cleanse your skin all in one go. The Simple brand of Micellar water is the first I’ve tried. I’ve seen a lot about this and similar products over the last few years but hadn’t yet tried it. I was a little sceptical that something so light and fine (by this I mean the water consistency) could in fact remove a full face of makeup including the ever stubborn mascara. The consistency feels like water but when you rub it between your fingers you can pick up hints of oils which gives it a less drying feel than I expected. There is little to no scent. If anything it’s a very delicate “natural” smell, so nothing overpowering such as florals. After ascertaining all of this it was time to try. A little on a cotton pad and gently wipe over the face. I looked down at the cotton pad and couldn’t believe the amount of product that had come off my face. Not bad for an initial wipe over. Then came the eyes. A reasonable amount of the product on another cotton pad, place, hold, gently swipe downward! As I looked at the evidence, not only had eyeshadow been removed, but also the mascara! Yes, visible eyelash lines of mascara were staring up at me from the cotton pad. To say I was impressed is stating it mildly. I composed myself and carried on. A few cotton pads later and I felt I’d done all I could to remove my makeup. The Micellar water didn’t remove all my mascara but it did about 80% of the work. Now, I have dry skin which can often be sensitive so trying a new product like this does tend to make me a little nervous. No one wants to go to work the next day red and splotchy. However, that did not happen with this product. I found no reaction at all and very friendly on my sensitive skin. I did find my face to be just a smidge dry afterwards, but not enough to worry me. Whether I use a balm, makeup wipe or now micellar water, I always like to cleanse after removing my makeup. So, I continued with my usual routine following this and found little to no makeup residue left. After a week of trying it, I’m a fan! It’s simple, effective, subtle enough for every day use and gentle on the skin. If you’re using it everyday the product will go quickly but it’s affordable from the supermarket so that’s not an issue for me. An excellent makeup remover and I would repurchase.

I usually use makeup remover wipes at the end of the day, so a Micellar water product was a new concept to me and I loved it. It cleaned my skin effortlessly, leaving it feeling fresh while also feeling hydrated. There were no dry patches and none of that uncomfortable feeling of tightening that I half expected from a water-based product as it dried. The only drawback for me was having to buy cotton pads to apply this product, but that does also have the added benefit of having control over the amount used. I really liked this and would definitely use it again. As I'm very lazy at times with my beauty routine, if this product was available as wipes, I would definitely be buying them in the future.

Was so excited when I first heard about Micellar cleansing waters, and couldn't wait to try as many as I could, so was very awesome to try the Simple range.. I have used a few, most of the new ones that come out, as I really like using the micellar water after I washed and washed my face then apply the water, and the simple one is very nice.. it does exactly what you would want in a micellar water to do, its very fresh and doesn't leave any residue on your face.. I defiantly would use this one again, and recommend it.

Its definitely gentle, which is great as i have very reactive skin. Ive always reacted to facial wipes so trying this i was looking forward to see how it went. I found i needed alot of wipes, i see some have said 2 wipes and makeup was off but i wear VERY light makeup and found i still needed to wash my face with a warm cloth afterwards. It struggled to remove my mascara which i lightly use. but over all would be a good product for travelling or need a quick face clean but as for removing anything heavier i would prob still use my cleansers afterwards. but its not drying and a good option for me on the run.

I've tried a few different brands of micellar water now but this really is the best one out there because it does what you want it to, remove all traces of makeup, without drying out your skin and without any nasty chemicals or overpowering fragrances. It actually feels good for your skin when you're using it.

I've used so many different Micellar Water, but I keep going back to this one every time. Removes all traces of makeup, without drying out your skin and without any nasty chemicals or overpowering fragrances.

This product is super cheap, along with the rest of their range! I have always been dubious about what micellar water actually does...so I grabbed this as it was cheaper than a lot of other waters. The smell is pleasant, does not sting the face and takes extra makeup off. But in this same sense I think it works just the same as makeup remover. After use, my skin felt tacky and a little sticky. I appeared to get no pimples from this product but once it was finished I have no desire to purchase it again. It was good while it lasted but as stated above, what’s the point if you already have vitamin enriched makeup removers.

I liked this product because it didn’t leave any residue on my face. However it took quite a long time to get the makeup off compared to other products that I’ve used. I had to go through about 5 or 6 pads before I got rid of all my makeup

I like to use this micellar water either to remove a small amount of makeup from my face, or after cleansing to remove any surface makeup that I have missed. I Know it is gentle to use around my eyes, and I have never experienced any irritation from using it.
