Micellar water looks like a tonic. The basis of its composition is micelles, special particles of surfactants. We wrote about this soft remedy in detail here.
The composition of the solution with micelles may also include:
vitamins;
plant extracts;
glycerol;
absorbent components (relevant for owners of oily skin).

Quickly removes make-up
With the help of a cotton pad soaked in the solution, you can get rid of makeup in a matter of minutes, in some cases even waterproof (depending on the specific product). For this, micellar water is loved by those who travel often, go on business trips and go to a fitness club.
Perfectly cleanses the skin
Thanks to micelles that capture oily particles of dirt from the surface of the epidermis, micellar water leaves the skin clean and fresh.
Suitable for all ages
Micellar water will not replace a toner, much less a moisturizer. This is a skin cleanser.
