Suspended in water, micelle particles are surfactants with two ends: an oil-loving head and a water-loving tail. They work like a magnet to draw out makeup, sebum, and impurities quickly and effectively, while their gentle cleansing properties make them suitable for sensitive skin.

Burning eyes horrible product.
3 months ago
Absolutely awful. I could barely use because it burned my own eyes but bought a huge bottle of it. It’s not unusual I’m sensitive to things so I gave it to one of my friends. AND MY FRIEND had a horrible reaction to it where it burned her eyes and made her eyes puffy the next morning and extremely red! Horrible product. If it’s doing this to multiple people there’s something not right in the ingredients.

I am an MUA and this is a NO
2 years ago
I have used micellar waters for years on myself and other people as a make-up artist. In my opinion and personal experience (which I will focus on here) this product is not appropriate for very sensitive skin. Also, micellar waters should (in a perfect world) be rinsed off the face. However, everyone has a lazy day (or night) sometimes. This product burned my skin and left my eyes itchy, red, burning and raw with what felt like chemical burns. I admit that I have sensitive skin in general but my skin can tolerate some retinoids so I was shocked when this product was so volatile for me. Some people may be sensitive to rose but I honestly don't know what ingredient might be the culprit. I have used Bioderma and have never had this problem but it costs more. If you have any sensitivities with your skin use caution.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Terrible. Destroyed my Face
2 years ago
This dried out my skin on my face so badly it was inflamed and red. I’ve been trying to restore it for over a week and it’s been a painful process. I used the other micellar cleanser without issue. Be careful using this one.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Waste of money. Smeared eye makeup ball over my face. Have used Garnier micellar water for several years. Stay away from the rose water. Wasted my $$$.

Dry Patches Be Gone!
5 years ago
Oh, I love this product! I have hypothyroidism and have had dry patches on my face which wearing a mask has not helped. After only a few times using this, they are pretty much gone. Thank you for making this rose water version for extra moisture.
