That is why preference it is better to give it to trusted brands that have a good reputation in the market, for example, Black Pearl, Bioderma and Diademine.

Let us dwell in more detail on the rating of the most effective means according to reviews of cosmetologists and users.

This micellar water is recommended for use by many well-known beauty experts, and the manufacturer claims to have developed the optimal cleanser formula. Micelles present in water form an optimal microemulsion while maintaining the physiological pH of the skin. The composition involves moisturizing active ingredients, therefore effectively fights against dryness, peeling and dehydration of the skin, but at the same time preserves the lipid film on the epidermis.

Users note that the use of water has a cumulative effect, so after a few months of use, the number of inflammations decreases, and the relief becomes smoother. Of the shortcomings, only the high cost of the product is noted.

This is one of the most popular micellar products presented in the mass market. Although this care product can be used even for very sensitive skin, it can easily remove even the most resistant decorative cosmetics. The composition does not leave a sticky feeling, does not form a film and does not irritate the eye. At the same time, the tool is especially economical, so for a complete make-up removal you will need several passes with a cotton pad across the face.

This is one of the best tools for use in the hot season. Water is optimal for problem skin, has a physiological pH, so it gently cleanses the skin, maintaining its protective barrier at a natural level. With constant use it regulates the production of sebum and slightly mattifies the face. Of the shortcomings can be noted far the non-budgetary cost of the product and the inconvenient dispenser.

All care products are created on the basis of environmentally friendly thermal water, therefore most delicately care for the skin. In addition, they have a delicate smell, which is rarely seen in micellar waters for oily and combination skin types. Such funds have the ability to reduce irritation and at the same time effectively remove lipstick from lips and mascara from the eyes.

Micellar water from the domestic brand "Clean Line" is very popular among Russians thanks to the low price. However, feedback on the effectiveness of this tool is not so clear - most users claim that the composition is powerless against waterproof cosmetics, although the skin after their use becomes soft and delicate.

This micellar water is in the category of the most budgetary, while it copes with the task of cleaning the skin in full. The micellar of this manufacturer removes even particularly resistant mascara and lipstick, does not stick and has a weak aroma.Of course, you should not expect from her the elimination of acne and inflammation. But if your goal is simply to remove makeup from your face, then you can safely turn your attention to this particular tool.

When choosing a cosmetic product, you should not use the advice of friends and fashion bloggers. The skin of any person has their own individual characteristics, so the purchase of effective skincare products is possible solely on the basis of their own trial and error, or at least the advice of a cosmetologist.

If you have normal skin, not prone to oilyness and inflammation, the simplest PEG-based micellar is enough for you to effectively wash off the make-up. But she will not give any additional leaving effects. If the skin is predisposed to excessive secretion of sebum, then it is better to make your choice in favor of the "green series" with polysorbate. This micellar water closes the pores, thereby reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.

Such water can not be washed off after use, but after cleaning, it is advised to nevertheless treat the face with tonic or apply a cleansing mask. For women with a dry derma prone to irritation, the poloxamer micellar is the best choice. They work carefully with the epidermis and do not need to be washed off after use.

Analyzing the reviews left by users on various thematic sites and forums, it can be noted that many women like Nivea brand micellar water from the budget segment. The composition of the care product includes moisturizers, therefore micellar in its action is a bit like a tonic. The reviews on this product are mostly positive.

Grape seed oil provides nutrition to the skin, and panthenol relieves irritation and soothes. That’s why users agree that Nivea is the best choice of micellar water for problematic facial skin. With regard to direct use, then this product only rinses off light makeup.

From the budget segment, micellar water “I myself” shows high efficiency, according to customers. This tool quickly removes lipstick, does not allow the foundation to clog in the pores, removes mascara without making the eyes watery. The skin after using the water looks fresh, not irritated. In combination with a low price, this makes water one of the most popular among our compatriots.

But the widely publicized “Black Pearl” micelle, on the contrary, was among the failed care products. After using it, an unpleasant sensation remains on the skin, and irritation appears on the mucous membrane of the eyes, and this point does not lend itself to any explanation, since the composition of the micellar should completely exclude a similar effect. It is likely that this micellar contains aggressive chemicals or the main components, introduced in the wrong proportion.

One of the best micellar waters in the world is considered means of the French brand Ducray Ictyane. For more than 10 years, cosmetologists in tandem with dermatologists and chemists have created a universal recipe for highly effective micellar water and, perhaps, have developed a real masterpiece. The use of carefully similar ingredients promotes hydration of the skin, the accumulation and retention of moisture in the dermis. Besides, Micellar is compatible with contact lenses and has virtually no smell.

An undoubted favorite among pharmacy micellars is La Roche-Posay Ultra. This water quickly and effortlessly removes even the most persistent makeup - some call it the champion in makeup removal. The composition is soft and delicate, suitable for sensitive eyes, and after use leaves a feeling of freshness on the skin. Unlike her, another remedy from the elite segment from Vichy does not justify its value. The micellar water of this brand smells of roses, but, according to users, it does not cope with persistent carcasses, and after using it, the skin remains feeling sticky.
