Cleansing waters may have begun as French pharmacy favorites but when they landed stateside a few years ago, they arrived with department store prices. Unique because of their simplicity, these cleansing formulas quickly gained a cult following among makeup artists, celebrities and beauty editors. Luckily for the rest of us mortals, just launched their Cleansing Micellar Water in drugstores across the US with an equally accessible price tag.
Named after ‘micelles,’ the tiny oil molecules suspended in water, these crafty cleansers use oil to cut through makeup, dirt and pollution. Without the need to rinse, a swipe with a soaked cotton pad provides the benefits of a makeup remover, cleanser, and hydrating toner. The Simple Cleansing Micellar Water covers both luxury and convenience with this unique micro delivery system.
ithout any harsh chemicals, artificial dyes, nor perfumes and the brand new Micellar Cleansing Water is no exception. This Triple Purified Water is infused with skin conditioning Vitamins B3 and C to gently cleanse, hydrate, and refine without any irritation. Calming, soothing and refreshing, this latest Simple solution is non-oily, never drying, and leaves the skin feeling comfortably clean.
Using Simple Cleansing Micellar Water couldn’t be easier. Saturate a cotton pad and swipe it across the face, around the eyes (keep them closed), lips, and down your neck. Because my pores can always use unclogging, I prefer textured pads vs. plain cotton rounds for added exfoliation. Without the need to rub or tug on your skin, this cleansing water may seem mild but is actually extremely effective.
If you’re wondering whether you need in your beauty stash, the answer is yes. Some may need a gentle cleanse with it first thing in the morning, especially if they’re using prescription strength retinoids at night. Others can greatly benefit from this multi-tasker on a late or lazy night when removing makeup seems like a major production. Cleansing is a crucial step in even the most edited skincare routines and micellar waters couldn’t be more accommodating. And now, you don’t have to spend $20-$30 for a bottle in the US.
Simple Cleansing Micellar Water retails for $6.99-$7.99 (6.7 oz.) at Target.com, , Walgreens.com and Ulta.com.
