Micellar water appeared in pharmacies in France back in the 1990s, and the triumphant conquest of markets around the world began in the 21st century and continues to this day. Today, almost all cosmetic brands have this product; it is sold in any supermarket. The famous Dove brand, which considers delicate cleansing one of the main secrets of beauty, has included several varieties of this product in its range.
Features and composition
Dove Micellar Water provides gentle skin care and will become a pleasant daily beauty ritual. Microparticles (micelles) do not damage the lipid barrier of the skin, actively capturing all impurities. When developing the compositions, the technologists used the cosmetology experience of different countries: France and Japan. Unique formulation solutions contain plant and fruit extracts and oils.
Choosing Dove water, you can plunge into the cultural traditions of Europe and the East.
Dove micellar water has the following features:
- lack of chemical fragrances and alcohol;
- multifunctional effect: cleansing, moisturizing, exfoliating, toning;
- removes even persistent makeup;
- does not leave a sticky feeling;
- does not require rinsing;
- there are products for every skin type;
- approved by dermatologists;

Among the shortcomings, the packaging feature should be noted: the bottles are equipped with a pump dispenser.
For many users, such a device for such a liquid product seemed very uncomfortable: when pressed, the liquid unpredictably “shoots” out of the nozzle of the dispenser, leaks, it is difficult to measure the right amount of solution, it is inconvenient to take such a bottle on a trip. Sure, this is a mass market tool, therefore, the budget cost implies the presence of preservatives, solvents, emulsifiers in the compositions.

The basis of the Dove micellar water assortment is the Japanese Collection. Formula funds developed in Japan. “Caring” and “Moisturizing” varieties are available. On sale you can find the same tools in a limited edition with the design of "Sakura". Consider these varieties in more detail.

Using this cleaning agent is very simple, namely:

It will be easier to dissolve resistant mascara if you hold the wet disc on your eyes for a few seconds. It will take 2–4 discs for complete eye make-up removal and lips cleansing from foundation and blush. Despite the indication that you can then do without washing, it is better to rinse your face with cool water.
Micellar gel with oils is recommended to be applied to a moisturized face, and then rinse off, otherwise a greasy shine will remain.
Review Reviews
Dove micellar products have mostly positive reviews. Buyers note that with their main function - purification, they cope without complaints. Gel with oils easily removes the most super-resistant cosmetics, not subject to many of its competitors from other brands. I am glad that the skin after the action of the micellar solution is non-sticky. There are practically no negative reviews that water causes discomfort or burning in the eyes and skin.
There are no comments about the appearance of a feeling of dryness and tightness.
Individual addictions can explain the reviews about not too pleasant or intrusive smell: for many users, these same aromas are liked and seem rather subtle. Buyers are unhappy with the relatively small volume of packaging - only 240 ml.Due to the inconvenient dispenser, excess water is spilled, a lot of people note the impracticality of this mechanism. Generally, Dove micellar water is a very pleasant, inexpensive, delicate daily cleanser with mild additional moisturizing and toning effects.
