It’s the number one beauty rule.

Always take off your makeup before bed (we’ve all been guilty of going to sleep with makeup on).

But we’ve finally found it, the best makeup remover ever.

Micellar water (our favourite new skincare product), easily and completely removes makeup, cleanses your skin (and so much more), for noticeably healthier, more beautiful skin fast.

We’ve put together a list of 9 reasons why micellar water is the best makeup remover you’ll ever use and why you’ll never want to try anything else again.

It’s glow time.

REMOVES ALL MAKEUP

Micellar water easily and completely removes all traces of makeup (face, eyes and lips). And yes, even long-lasting waterproof varieties, with no trouble.

ALL-IN-ONE

It’s not just a makeup remover (it does so much more). It’s the ultimate all-in-one skincare product, removing makeup while also cleansing, soothing, and hydrating your skin (in just one step).

LIFTS MAKEUP, DIRT & OIL

Micellar water removes makeup properly. A small amount used with a cotton pad will lift makeup, dirt and oil away from (and off) the skin, not just move it around (like many traditional makeup remover wipes).

GENTLE & EASY TO USE

No rubbing or rinsing required (makeup is easily removed like magic). Did we mention no alcohol or oil, and it’s fragrance free?

ALL SKIN TYPES

Oily, dry, combination, sensitive or normal skin? Micellar water is for you. Choose from purifying, nourishing, hydrating or extra gentle formulas enriched perfectly for your exact skin type. Questions or concerns? Ask your dermatologist or doctor before use.

AWARD WINNING

The world’s (and America’s) #1 micellar water, Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, has won several beauty awards and is dermatologist recommended for skin health.

LONG LASTING (SAVES YOU MONEY)

A little goes a long way. Make the switch to micellar water and you’ll be buying makeup remover, cleansers (maybe even moisturizers) much less often (saving you money). One bottle used with cotton pads lasts much longer than a standard pack of traditional makeup remover wipes.

PRICE IS RIGHT

A highly rated, well-priced Amazon’s Choice beauty/skincare product, you absolutely can’t go wrong at $6.26 ($7.29 CDN) for a 400 ml/13.5 fl. oz. bottle.
