Micellar water has become very popular and more and more brands now have a micellar water in the range. For those who are not so familiar with micellar water: Micellar water is a water based cleansing which will remove all the dirt and make-up as a magnet from your skin in a gentle manner without having to rub. You use the Micellar water on a cotton pad and then you go over your face and eyes with it, you don’t need to rinse it off with water, just pat it dry with a clean towel or cotton pad and you are ready.
You can use the Micellar water to remove only your eye make-up and then to further cleanse your face with a facewash, I like to clean my face in the evening with my favorite facewash of the moment and then use the Micellar water to remove any makeup residue, especially around the eyes. In the morning Micellar water is the only thing I use to clean my skin and to freshen up before I put on some creme and make-up. After I’ve emptied my 2 Garnier Micellar cleansing waters I’ve tested the La Roche-Posay Micellar water, this one is especially for the sensitive and oily skin.
La Roche Posay Micellair Water.
Fully named: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Micellar Water. Most products from La Roche-Posay come in a pretty bright packaging with white and light blue, the transparent bottle Micellar water has a volume of 200ml. As I said this Micellar water is especially suitable for sensitive and oily skin.
The Ingredients.
Aqua / Water, Hexylene Glycol, Glycerin, Poloxamer 188, Zinc pca, Sodium Lactate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Disodium edta, Citric Acid, Dihydrocholeth-30, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide.
That‘s a lot of difficult names, where it comes down to is that it doesn’t contain any alcohol, parabens and soap. All products from the line Effaclar include thermal spring water that activates the recovery process of the skin.
About the brand La Roche-Posay.
La Roche-Posay is the brand when it comes to sensitive skin and is also prescribed by dermatologists. The extensive range of La Roche-Posay is created to complement the treatments of dermatologists for various skin conditions such as acne and eczema. Meanwhile the range has expanded to include 18 different product lines, including a makeup line specifically for sensitive skin and eyes and a sun protection line for adults and children.
The Micellar water comes from the line Effaclar, this line is specially designed for oily and blemished skin. Oily skin can express itself in different ways, your skin can quickly shine, you have coarse pores or prone to pimples or acne. For all these different forms of oily skin La Roche-Posay has a customized product, there are products specifically for the hygiene and cleaning of your skin (where the Micellar water also is included), there are products for severe impurities and clogged pores, there is a product for uneven skin texture, a product against persistent shine of the skin and lastly there are products especially for the skin which has become brittle by drying treatments
Conclusion.
I find this Micellar water very nice, it is very gentle on your skin and makes your skin and eyes clean without leaving a tightness feeling behind. I think I’m also going to try the Effaclar Mat, which is a moisturizer that keeps your skin mat at the same time.
La Roche-Posay is available at pharmacies and online at Feelunique.com for $ 19,32 (200ml).
