Description
Our Pure Radiance Micellar Cleansing Water is a 250 ml micellar cleansing water that removes even long-wear and waterproof makeup in a gentle swipe. It dissolves makeup, excess oil and sunscreen without harsh rubbing, leaving skin clean, balanced and comfortable, with no tight feeling.
Why use micellar cleansing water?
Good cleansing is the first step of every routine. If makeup and sunscreen are left on the skin, the serum and moisturiser that follow cannot do their job well. Micellar water lifts these away gently, without the need for rough wiping.
How micellar technology works
Micelles are tiny cleansing molecules suspended in water. Each one has an oil-loving centre that dissolves makeup and sebum, and a water-loving outer layer that lets impurities lift away gently. This lets the formula cleanse well without harsh detergents.
Key benefits
- Removes long-wear foundation, waterproof mascara and rich pigments.
- Lifts excess oil, sunscreen and everyday grime.
- No harsh rubbing, no stripping, no tightness.
- No rinsing needed, which makes it handy on busy mornings.
- Cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan.
Who is it for?
- All skin types, including sensitive skin
- Makeup wearers, especially of waterproof or long-wear products such as our 48HR Matte Transfer-Proof Foundation
- Lash extension clients
- Anyone who wants a quick, no-rinse morning cleanse
How to use it
Evening makeup removal
- Saturate a cotton pad or one of our Reusable Micellar Cleansing Cloths.
- Press onto the skin for 5 to 10 seconds to let the micelles dissolve makeup.
- Sweep away in smooth, downward strokes. Repeat only if needed.
- Follow with serum and moisturiser. No rinsing is needed.
For waterproof makeup, hold the pad on the area slightly longer before wiping.
Morning cleanse
Sweep a soaked pad gently over the face and neck, then apply your moisturiser and our SPF50 Primer.
As part of a double cleanse
On heavy makeup days, use the micellar water first, then follow with a gel or cream cleanser such as our Advanced Face Cleanser.
Tips for best results
- Use clean pads or cloths, and do not reuse a pad without washing.
- Avoid harsh rubbing, especially around the eyes.
- Remember the hairline and jawline.
- Always follow with skincare to keep skin hydrated.
