Please don't apologize for getting technical and explaining the science behind the marketing. I, for one, wouldn't be here if I wasn't seeking that knowledge.
OK....so if you bought ANY brand of micellar water and are disappointed, don't throw it away! I just cleaned the front of all my kitchen cabinets, with 1/2 cup micellar water and a toothbrush. It cuts grease like a chain saw! Garnier Micellar ...utter rubbish for removing eye make up, bloody brilliant in the kitchen!
Mistress Mars I have an expired, eye stinging waterproof eye makeup remover on my toilet cabinet with a tape on it saying: “Not for eyes! Use for getting stains from your hands.”...the story is that my bf once came from doing some kind of messy oily diy -job in the garage and asked how to get his hands cleaned...I gave him that eye makeup remover that I never use because it hurts my eyes so bad. It took away everything that a normal soap couldn’t😊👍🏻
I have dry very sensitive, highly reactive skin. I have tried 5 different brands of micellar water and the only one I didn’t have problems with or have to rinse afterwards is the Bioderma sensitive formula. I do use it as a toner/refresher. I use CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer. Since I switched to only using these 3 skincare products my skin has improved beyond belief.
I still don’t understand what they’re for after watching this. “They’re for removing makeup but they don’t do a very good job and can cleanse the face but you still have to wash your face afterwards. Great if you don’t have any other water available for a proper wash. So yes BIG thumbs up.” .......what?
JoWae 💕 just started using this skin product line due to allergic reactions to Clinique. My skin feels so wonderful. I didn’t know about micellar water and have started this week in 2021 no reaction so far.
I agree with what you say, they can be very useful. However, I'm not finding any of the ones I've tried very good with mascara removal. Bioderma's, Garnier pink and orange tops, Superdrug's B. Pure and Cosmetics A La Carte's Total Lift Off - my personal favourite and the best I've used. However, removing mascara with any of these still leaves me with panda eyes in the morning.
I’ve used the CeraVe micellar water and it stings my eyes. It also leaves my skin feeling oily, which is too bad because I’m usually a big fan of their products. I’m trying the sensitive - blue cap- Garnier micellar water and I’ve had zero irritation and my skin feels moisturized but not oily. So far so good 👍
I never use cotton pads because they irritate my skin. I step into the shower, but before turning on the water, I pour a couple of tablespoons of micellar water into the palm of one hand, then rapidly apply to face with both hands, massaging gently but thoroughly. I then turn on the shower and rinse well. This method works well for me to cleanse without residue, and without drying my skin.
Highly recommend Marcelle’s & Lumene’s Micellars, both of which are also cruelty free (which Bioderma &Simple are not). Personally I don’t use micellar water in a daily basis but there are definitely times they come in very handy so I do like to always have one on hand.
I have a UA-cam friend who used to Rave in every video about bioderma. She would buy it in mass quantities. So finally, on my first order from beautylish, I decided to try it. I don't get it. It doesn't do much for taking off makeup and it makes my eyes horribly red the next morning. :(
Try placing a cotton pad with micellar water on your eyes for a few seconds to give it time to do its work, then wipe it gently and rinse. I have very sensitive eyes and use Nivea micellar water and it works even if I have lots of mascara on. I hope that helps!
@@homehelpheart7440 it doesn't work for waterproof mascara though. I never use waterproof anything on my face because it's a pain to remove them and cause me irritation. Well, if you find something that works please let us know 😊
My personal preference to take off makeup is a cleansing balm as a one step removal system. I follow up with a gel based cleanser. However, in the morning if I just want to quick cleanse and rinse it is great. I always rinse off, just to be sure my sensitive skin isn't bothered. I like the Simple water boost one.
I've only used the Garnier Pink Cap Micellar water so far and love it.. I use it as a double cleanser and or in the AM when I know my face is clean from the night before and just wanna wipe any product off I used before bed.. 😊 I definitely wanna try the others you mentioned as well though..
I just use it as a double cleanser. So, I wash my face with CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser in the shower, then follow up with Simple micellar water. Once that's 95% dry, I apply The Ordinary hyaluronic acid to keep the moisture. Then, when that's dry, about 5 minutes later, I apply either vitamin C (morning) or retinol (nighttime), sunscreen (day) and moisturizer. Basically, the micellar water is used to get any stuck-on mascara or remnants of foundation in my eyebrows. It's just a nice, extra step for cleanliness.
I use the garnier micellar water. I call it "fat water". I use it on occasion to remove stubborn eye makeup gently. I like micellar water as an add in to my skincare routine, but not as regular part. When I want a little boost, I'll use it, but not every day.
Hi Dr. Tonks, I have enjoyed your videos for a long time but never commented before. I highly recommend La Roche Posay micellar water. Initially I purchased this to gently cleanse my face and neck whilst experiencing a bout of hives - which lasted 10 days. I rinsed well afterward. It cleansed my oily/combo skin without irritation. Packaging was not ideal (large plastic bottle with a pump) so I decanted into a small amber glass bottle. I have used this whilst traveling on a long car journey (not wearing makeup) and misted afterward with a can of Thermal Water to "rinse", then tissued dry. Freshness on-the-go! I consider this as a "2nd cleanse" product when wearing makeup as I use a cleansing balm to remove makeup.
I'd love to hear your opinion on Clarisonic brushes, I got myself one a month ago and my skin has never been so great, I've read some people had bad experiences with it.
Garnier micellar water I really like it and would not describe it as irritating, but everyone is different. Surprised you hadn't tried it but passed along second hand comment...Other than that great video as always. Big fan :)
The Garnier micellar water burned my skin with one application and I always rinse after using any kind of cleanser. It gave me two large patches of eczema on my cheeks. Thanks, Garnier. L'Oreal made a good micellar water that didn't upset my highly reactive and weirdly rosacean and atopic skin at all but it is really hard to find for some reason, haven't seen it in shops around me for a couple of years. Shame, it was nice to take my make-up off with. I have oily but dehydrated skin prone to eczema when aggravated by bad products, rosacea and in 2011I had a major year-long battle with severe seb derm combined with a terrible painful roascea flare that resulted in a lot of dermatologist appointments and drugs. I found the best thing - confirmed by a top NHS dermatologist I saw - for my skin is plain, unscented soap and water, once a day, after removing my make-up with a non-irritating cleanser (right now that means Simple cleanser but I would use the L'Oreal again if I could actually buy it followed by Simple soap or equivalent applied with a soft washcloth). I clean my skin with water and Cetaphil for oily skin in the morning. I use Dermol moisturizer after washing twice a day as my facial skin really doesn't tolerate anything that is not bland, uncomplicated, unscented and mineral-oil based. Plant oils on my reactive facial skin always lead to a reaction eventually. I'm no longer on any meds for any of my conditions as this seems for the most part to keep it all in check.
I have old skin so se the Micellar water, do I have to wash off the Micellar water before putting on the Retin-A? I am also using vitamin C serum as well as Hyaluronic acid serum in the morning. I use the Retin-A at night. Thanks!! LP I am using Retin-A. If
I like micellar water but I do rinse it off and I use it to clean my makeup brushes things soap don't get out but I love using olive oil it's just amazing for the skin with all conditions and anti ageing. for my face though I don't use the water I use the Nivea micellar air 2in1 plus toner its creamy and is amazing does what the water can't seriously!
I got some micellar water once, it started to grow mold. Never again. I Googled it and other people experienced the same thing with all sorts of different brands, especially Garnier. I’m sorry but it’s a huge no from me lol
Turquoise Greene pH of 7.3 - 7.5 is pretty much considered neutral or more to the basic side on the pH scale. What is so yikes about that? The water you drink should have a pH b/w 6-7. So dumb :/. No context to your comment. No research. No examples. What have you commented this for
Whoopsie. Just got 2 bottles of the Garnier ones. I'll use em up but won't buy again .. I got the one for waterproof makeup. Do not use in inner Eye. And it seemed to dry up my nose (I already have dry skin) but I'm sure that could just be me using a cotton while and then washing my face and then patting and swiping with a wash rag because I didn't want to leave any on. Day one review.
Can I use micellar water in place if a face wash, after I use my makeup remover? I prefer to double cleanse but I cant find a cleanser that will leave my skin feeling clean but not stripped or not feeling stripped but not clean.
I love Bioderma micellar water. I put it on a cotton wool bud to clean the inside of my shoes. Lovely jubbly. 👠 On my skin I use it to clean up around my eyes. To cleanse properly I need something more heavy duty.
micellar water has never done me any favours, it makes you think you’ve cleaned your face but it’s done fuck all oil and balm double cleansing all the way for me
Please don't apologize for getting technical and explaining the science behind the marketing. I, for one, wouldn't be here if I wasn't seeking that knowledge.
I use micellar everyday and I generally rinse after. After washing my face for the last 22 years, it just feels right to rinse.

I should add by sensitive formula I mean the one with the pink cap that has no fragrance.
frugalwitch have you used burt's bees micellar water? if so how did u like it?
@@frugalwitch have you noticed any negative side effects from using as a toner?
the sciencey parts of your videos are the best parts! no apologies and please more!
I still don’t understand what they’re for after watching this. “They’re for removing makeup but they don’t do a very good job and can cleanse the face but you still have to wash your face afterwards. Great if you don’t have any other water available for a proper wash. So yes BIG thumbs up.” .......what?
Because they get the majority of your make up off before you do the next cleanse
Really as a toner? No way it's got surfactants in it...that can't be good...can it? Loved this video😁💗

Just discovered you and am so glad I have! Thank you for these wonderfully entertaining and informative videos!!😘

Agree! The bioderma is like coconut-scented, overpriced water for me :| it can't even remove my sunscreen and light foundation at all

Great explanation with stupendously cool graphic. Eau micellaire was pronounced with near precision.

I would like to start using it as a morning cleanser! Do you apply moisturizer after? Or straight into sunscreen?
Cleansing oils are way more effective and a lot of them are fragrance free. Oils and balms are cheaper too and last longer

Great job on the intro! It was so fun to see. ❤
Love your videos !!! Thanks for sharing this information!!!
Thank you! So glad you liked it :)
I like the Bioderma. Glad I haven’t tried any of the others after your explanation. They would not suit me.
Hi Dr. Tonks,
I have enjoyed your videos for a long time but never commented before.
I highly recommend La Roche Posay micellar water. Initially I purchased this to gently cleanse my face and neck whilst experiencing a bout of hives - which lasted 10 days. I rinsed well afterward. It cleansed my oily/combo skin without irritation. Packaging was not ideal (large plastic bottle with a pump) so I decanted into a small amber glass bottle.

I bought some. It left a weird film on my skin and gave me my first breakout in over a decade.
I don't use a toner, my skin is pretty clear, but im now in my 50's. Should i be adding this to my routine?
informative! Cant wait for more vids to come!
Thank you for your support! A new video will be uploaded on Friday.
You can just use a face cloth with it so it's better for the environment too
I'd love to hear your opinion on Clarisonic brushes, I got myself one a month ago and my skin has never been so great, I've read some people had bad experiences with it.
