I noticed in the last 2 days, both IT Cosmetics and Philosophy introduced Micellar water as a cleanser. It’s been used in Europe forever.

The next big trend here? Do you use it and/or what are your thoughts?

@Shanus  I was tempted by the IT new water product the other night when it was a One Day Only.  I am not sure why I need this, that is why I didnt purchase.  It is being used as a cleanser.  I already use a wipe and then a cleanser, so whould it replace one of these products?

@Shanus and @MrsCat21 ... I use the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water.  I do like it for removing makeup but follow with a facial cleanser It costs about $9.00 at CVS...even less on Amazon.   Much cheaper than the one sold on QVC.

@MrsCat21  In Europe, it’s considered an “essence”....an additional moisturizing step before applying skincare. I was taught, however, to apply my serum to dry skin after cleansing & then follow w/ moisturizer and spf. 

I’m not sold on the idea of an extra step added to the routine.

@Boehm Collector. Can you explain, hopefully, its purpose if you are following with a facial cleanser anyway?

Micellar water cleanser/wipes have been here for at least 2 years not new and they are nice to clean with and take of makeup 

not sure the higher price of IT and Philos is needed for this product

I picked up Philosophy cleanser at Ulta about month ago and the package included micellar water. I wanted to try it. I don’t know or feel the benefits so I’ll use it up and not purchase anymore.

@Shanus .. i think it does a great job at gently removing all makeup, even waterproof mascara, better than just a facial cleanser alone.   I saturate a cotton round and wipe all the makeup off.

@OKPrincess  This just be another attempt for this industry to take our money...make us think a product is necessary.

@Shanus    if you don't get as many replies as you would like, try putting "micellar water' in the search bar above and on the pull down menu, select "Board". As @jackthebear  stated, this has been a topic for several years. This thread is exactly three years old but still informative.
