Dr Aneesha Ahmad, GP, dermatologist and medical director of Skyn Doctor, explains that micellar water is made up of micelles (very small balls of cleansing oil molecules) suspended in soft purified water which removes impurities from the skin.
I have bought 2 lots of Micellar water from a well known high street brand over the years , in fact 2 years apart and for some reason, after a while it made my skin sore and then start to burn. This was worse road my eyes too despite supposedly being good to remove eye make up .I had to throw it all away . It happened the first time 2 years ago , then i thought I may be safe as it came up as a good purchase for purity, but it did exactly the same thing after a few uses.I have no idea why if Micellar is supposed to be this simple??? I certainly won’t use it again
