Simple Micellar Water Review

I have always thought that micellar waters were a waste of time. And whats the point. So I had a kind of 'what a load of rubbish' attitude when I tried this. Ok so I take it back.. sorry. It actually cleaned my face and took makeup off. Smelled nice but not all chemically and didnt leave my face all greasey! My 11 year old quickly started stealing it while i wasnt looking and she loves it too.

Prior to trialling this product I've tried micellar water but never really loved it. However this one was everything micellar water should be.

First up, the packaging. The bottle size is perfect - large enough that it will last quite a while, small enough that you can throw it in your overnight bag. The cap is a really sturdy flip-top, so it's easy to open, but not going to break in use. The bottle is clear so you can easily see how much you have left and when you need to buy another bottle.

I have sensitive combination skin so often products make me break out or sensitise my skin. This meant I was a bit nervous about trying this product (something you don't rinse off!). But I needn't have worried. I found the micellar water to be cooling and soothing on my skin, leaving it feeling clean and hydrated, as promised.

In terms of makeup removal, most days on this trial I wasn't wearing any makeup (a few weeks ago I officially declared it Too Hot for Makeup!), but yesterday I wore BB cream and mascara. The micellar water removed it, but it took three cotton pads before I felt my skin was clean enough for toner. The eye makeup, however, was removed very easily with a few gentle wipes. I struggle with eye makeup remover (everything stings or is so gentle it doesn't actually remove the mascara), so I would potentially repurchase just for that.

All up this is a nice little product. If you have sensitive skin and want to get on the micellar bandwagon, this is the product for you!

I was selected to trial this product and I'm glad they picked me. I love the bottle - like it's name it's a simple design and I like the fact it's clear so you can see how much liquid you have left. I also like the straight forward easy to open and close lid.

I have never tried a micellar water before but I'm glad I tried this one. It did what it said it would and removed my foundation and mascara with ease whilst also leaving my skin feeling clean and hydrated. I have very sensitive skin and this product didn't leave me with any redness or irritation like so many stronger products do.

Overall I'd be happy to use this again and recommend it to friends and family.

I've used this product for a few days now and it's safe to say I really like it. It worked magic at removing my foundation and mascara but had a little trouble removing my Kat von d lip stain but we all know that's almost impossible to remove anyway short of using a scouring pad!. It left my skin feeling very clean, a little tight but that went away when I moisturised.It didn't mess around with my acne either which is a huge bonus as it can be set off by some products.I like the fact I can buy it at my local supermarket and was impressed to see our local one had it for cheaper than the RRP, we all like a bargain after all.My teenage daughter also used some last night and loved it so I'm certain I will be buying this again for 2 people not just myself

I was lucky enough to trial this product thank you BR.

It comes in a simple bottle with a cap. Nothing fancy but I've never been one to care too much for packaging, as long as the product works.

It claimes to have no scent which I agree with but since I've used other brands of Micellar Waters in the past, I've realised that they all smell lthe same, like old water (if that makes sense). I don't particularly like it but you get over it.

It has clear instructions on the back. Simply put product onto a cotton pad/ball and wipe over face. Will remove and cleanse skin.

Did it work, yes. I wear a full face of makeup 5-6 days a week for work. It definitely removed it. Some areas needing going over a couple of times. E.g: mascara and eyeliner but that didn't bother me. My face felt clean afterwards and I had no reaction to it.

I would definitely recommend it. It does exactly what other more expensive Micellar Waters do. I won't personally be re purchasing it for myself as I prefer my microfiber cloth but I am going to buy some for my sister who has sensitive skin.

After using a more expensive brand of micellar water and loving it, I was curious to try this cheaper option.

Simple Micellar Water did not disappoint.

It removed all traces of my makeup and was gentle on my skin. There was no fragrance in the product and the packaging was not overly fussy. Easy flip lid that feels secure enough to throw in an overnight bag safely.

The only reason I had to take some points off its score was that I needed to apply the product a couple of times to remove my waterproof mascara - but no other product has ever successfully done this in one go either so the Simple brand hardly fails in comparison to them either.

At the price point this product would be hard to beat! As I say, even in comparison to a more expensive brand this options wins out. In fact, it's lack of fragrance (the more expensive brand was scented) is a bonus in my opinion. This product feels fresher and more pure.

While I try to be a good girl and follow a make up removal routine most nights, this Simple Micellar Water will be a staple as my back up make up removal option for those evenings I just can't be faffed with the whole routine :o)

Too Simple - did ya see what I did there... ;o)

This is great. It's so easy to use and completely cleaned my skin. I did use 2 cotton pads to cleanse my face but they aren't very big. My skin had some dry patchy areas which have gone now. That is using this for not quite a week. My skin is softer and looks smoother too. It is gentle on my skin and having sensitive skin, I have found this great. Have had no irritation, burning or itching. It also doesn't have an overpowering smell which I find great also. My face feels nice and clean and fresh after cleaning my makeup off. Doesn't dry out my skin either which a lot of makeup removers seem to do.

Had leaked when I received it, but as you don't usually get it in the post, this wouldn't usually be a problem. Would be nice to see a better seal on it though.

I was impressed by the packaging of this product. The clear plastic enabled you to see how much content was left and there were clear illustrations on the back for directions to use. The product itself has very little smell or any colours added which would be good for sensitive or mature skin like mine. I was pleased how easy it was to apply, just a small amount poured onto a cotton pad, with just a gentle wipe it removed all traces of my makeup, including mascara and daily grime and no rinsing off afterwards! It was gentle and soothing without stinging my eyes, left my face feeling smooth, not dry or tight, but clean and fresh. I used this product twice a day as I work outside in our orchard and my face can get very dirty. I don't always wear makeup during the day but I definately don't leave the house without it! After a few days use, it was quite noticeable that my skin looked more radiant which was a bonus and a nice surprise! I would definately recommend this Micellar water to anyone who wants to cut down on their daily regime and get a brilliant result.

I was happy to have been chosen to review Simple Micellar water. This comes in a clear 200ml bottle and easily fits in your handbag so perfect If you are travelling. It does not have any smell and is quite gentle on the skin. I have used this as a pre cleanser to remove my make before washing my face with my normal face wash.However I did find it to be a little irritating for my eyes, but than again I do have very sensitive eyes. This does not leave any greasy or oily residue after use which I really liked. It is good to remove light to medium coverage makeup and light eye makeup. I did find it didn't to a good job in removing my eye makeup. For a good cleanse and to remove heavier coverage I would recommend using this as a pre cleanser and than washing your face with your daily facial wash. Overall it is a good product and does what it says without leaving the skin dry.

I really enjoyed this micellar water. It made my face feel really great after using it and it didn't cause any break outs which tends to happen with my skin when I try things fo the first time. For removing make up I found it okay. It did take a bit of rubbing to remove more stubborn products but worked really well with foundation.
