Collection: Micellar Water

Micellar water is the easiest way to remove makeup and refresh your skin at the end of the day: just soak a cotton pad, sweep it over your face and you are done. At Glamu you will find gentle micellar waters for the face and the delicate eye area, with hydrating and soothing ingredients that make everyday cleansing quick and comfortable.

Micellar water for face and eyes

The Biocos Hydra Hyaluron Micellar Water 200ml combines hyaluronic acid with calendula extract and gently removes makeup and impurities, also around the eyes, without leaving a sticky feel. For a bigger bottle that lasts, the Farmona Pure Icon Soothing Micellar Make-up Remover 500ml lifts away makeup, excess oil and daily dirt and is enriched with hyaluronic acid, algae extract and glycerin.

A gentle option just for the eye area

If you mainly want to take off eye makeup, choose a formula made for this delicate zone. The RefectoCil Micellar Eye Make-Up Remover 150ml is an oil-free micellar cleanser that removes eye makeup without vigorous rubbing, so it fits nicely into a daily routine.

How to use micellar water

Soak a cotton pad, hold it on closed eyes for a few seconds to let the makeup dissolve, then gently wipe outwards. Use a fresh pad for the rest of the face until it comes away clean. Many people follow up with a cleansing gel or cleansing foam in the evening, but always check the instructions on your bottle. For long-wear or waterproof makeup, a biphasic makeup remover can be an easier choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is micellar water?

Micellar water is a water-based cleanser with tiny cleansing particles called micelles that attract makeup, oil and dirt. It is used with a cotton pad and is popular because it cleans quickly and gently, without the need for scrubbing.

Do I need to rinse my face after micellar water?

Many micellar waters are made to be used without rinsing, which makes them handy for busy days. Others can be followed with a face wash. Check the label of your micellar water and follow its instructions.

Can I use micellar water around my eyes?

Yes, as long as the product says it is suitable for the eye area. Hold the pad on closed eyes for a moment instead of rubbing, and choose an eye-specific remover if your eyes are easily irritated.

Does micellar water remove waterproof makeup?

Some micellar waters can remove waterproof makeup, but long-wear mascara and eyeliner usually come off more easily with a biphasic remover that contains an oil phase. You can use both: a biphasic remover for the eyes and micellar water for the face.

Where can I buy micellar water in the USA?

You can buy micellar water in the USA at glamu.shop, where you will find gentle micellar cleansers for the face and eyes from brands like Biocos, Farmona and RefectoCil.
