Avene Micellar Water Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover Review

This was the first Avene product I have ever used. I liked the fact they were using Avene thermal spring water. There is a bit of a scent and maybe that's why my eyes sometimes sting when I use to remove eye makeup? I don't use waterproof makeup and I think if you soak a cotton pad with this, this will remove 95% of makeup but I always like to use a face wash afterwards to just get any spots that I missed.

I have used a few Avene products and I feel they are very good, especially if you have any skin issues like sensitivity or dryness.

It comes in a clear plastic 200ml bottle with a flip top. It costs more than a typical Micellar water for the same amount but the Avene product does not contain alcohol and is soap and oil free.

This Micellar water is much like any other I have used in the respect that is is gentle and does a great job. It leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed and ready for the next step of your beauty regime.

This clear fluid is really simple and nice. I use it on cotton wool or pads. I saturate the cotton and swipe all around my face and neck. If I'm wearing makeup, I will double cleanse, but not if I'm makeup free. I don't wear waterproof makeup so I don't know how good it would work on that. No rinsing required, and your skin is ready for serum/treatment/moisturising instantly. I have used Garnier's Sensitive Water before, and this product is very similar. However, I think that that product was taken out of the market. This is just a really gentle,nice product and is great for sensitive skin.

I purchased this, along with a few other Avene products after being so impressed with the gel cleanser! Beautiful subtle scent across their products, perfect for sensitive and fragile skin. Although I don't have sensitive skin, I find this product suits me perfectly, cleanses far more thoroughly than the wipes I have been using.

While this Micellar Water did remove my makeup I seemed to have to use a lot. Getting my mascara off was quite time consuming and I had to keep using new cotton pads. My skin felt quite sticky afterwards which isn’t a problem if you’re double cleansing but not great if you’re just wanting to freshen up. I have acne prone skin and after a few days of use I did notice a few spots on my chin. This may work for you if you wear very little makeup but I won’t be repurchasing this product.

this does not foam at all , its just like a body lotion applied on face that you want to wash your face ,if you have very dry and sensitive skin you may can use it as a make up remover or face wash ,but it does not do anything to oily or acne prone skin and will cause more breakouts.
