Micellar Lotion Cleansing and Make-Up Remover

I’m truly impressed by this cleanser. I’ve tried many cleansers but this one is so unique. Usually after cleansing my skin, I have to use a toner and then a moisturizer. But with this, I now have a cleanser, toner, and makeup remover all in one!

The product drips out from the bottle rather than pour out so you’re less likely to waste a lot of product. I let about 3-4 drips fall from the bottle onto the cotton pad and remove my makeup. Once I’m done removing my makeup, I get another cotton pad to go over my face for a real good cleansing. This removed my waterproof eyeliner and mascara without any issues! This product also left my skin feeling soft and smooth after. Also, usually my skin turns red after cleansing and toning, but the Avène Thermal Spring Water in this Micellar Lotion Cleansing and Make-up Remover helped calm the redness.

**Bonus** This product also has a light lotion scent to it. Similar to your everyday hand moisturizer. It’s very lovely and not overpowering.

Overall, I recommend this product for an every day use!

I'm a huge fan of Eau Thermale Avene, so when I ran out of my previous micellar water I decided to give this one a try. Like most micellar waters, I love the way it easily cleans and removes makeup without having to rinse with water or leaving any oily residue. It's not drying either, and I really enjoy the faint smell it has that I've come to associate with Avene.

Simply open the flip cap and use the small opening to saturate a cotton pad and glide over the skin, it removes my eyeliner and mascara quickly, as well as liquid lipsticks. When I use it to remove lipsticks it does have a little bit of a taste that lingers on my mouth if I accidentally lick my lips afterwards, but that's the only thing I dislike about it. On days I use this to cleanse but am not wearing makeup, I can still see the dirt and oil that is removed on my cotton pad and it's so satisfying!

I'm on a quest to find my Holy Grail makeup remover. This isn't it. It did not remove mascara, liquid lipstick, and smeared the eyeliner I was wearing (Urban Decay 24/7 waterline) all over my eye area. It did remove the powder and cream products I was wearing, but I needed something to remove my mascara (not even waterproof mascara), and eyeliner. Still on the hunt, I suppose!
