This peeling water formula, with 1% PHA (polyhydroxy acids) and glycolic acid, is clinically tested to even skin tone**. Like a magnet, micelles capture and lift away dirt, oil, and makeup without harsh rubbing, leaving skin clean, refreshed, and visibly smoother. Use on face, lips, and eye area. No rinse, no rubbing, and no residue. Formulated for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Vegan and cruelty free, approved by Cruelty Free International under the Leaping Bunny program.

Instructions of Use

No-rinse daily exfoliation in 3 steps

1. Saturate pad: Pour onto a Garnier Reusable Eco Pad or cotton pad until evenly damp.
2. Press 5–10 seconds: Hold the pad on skin to activate micelles and begin dissolving makeup and impurities.
3. Sweep clean—do not rinse: Gently wipe until the pad comes away clean. Follow with moisturizer. Use 1–2x daily. Patch test first. Avoid direct eye contact. Apply SPF in the AM.

Safety and aftercare: SPF and moisturizing tips

• AHAs (like glycolic acid) may increase sun sensitivity—use SPF 30+ daily.
• If tingling or peeling occurs, reduce frequency or pause use.
• Pair with a gentle, fragrance-free hydrator for comfort and barrier support.

Who Should Use It (and Who Should Skip It)

• Use if you want an easy, no-rinse cleanser that also gently exfoliates for smoother-looking, more even skin—great for all skin types, even sensitive.

• Consider skipping or reducing frequency if you experience persistent tingling or visible irritation; pause use and try less frequent application.

Micellar Peeling Water vs. Glycolic Acid Peel Kits and Peeling Masks

• Versus at‑home glycolic acid peels/peel kits: This is a gentle, daily no‑rinse exfoliating cleanser designed for low‑irritation use. Peel kits are periodic, stronger treatments with higher acid strength and may require neutralizing/rinsing.
• Versus peeling masks: This is a liquid, residue‑free micellar formula suitable for face, lips, and eye area with no rinse. Peeling masks are rinse‑off treatments and may be less suitable around eyes/lips.

Choose this Micellar Gentle Peeling Water for everyday, low‑maintenance exfoliation; consider stronger peels or masks only if you need periodic intensive treatments.

Powered by Micellar Technology

Micellar’s cleansing power happens thanks to micelles, which are small molecules that work like magnets, absorbing and removing oil and impurities from the skin (such as pollution), transferring them to the eco-pad.
