Doesn’t pass muster
**What they claim:**
A cleansing and make-up removing water that respects the fragility of sensitive skin.
Sensibio H2O is the 1st and only dermatological micellar water perfectly compatible with the skin: its fatty acid esters, the constituent elements of micelles, are similar to the phospholipids of the skin cell membranes and naturally help rebuild the skin's hydrolipidic film.
Combines performance and very high tolerance. Cleanses and removes make-up from the face and eyes. Soothes and clears up irritated skin. Produces a feeling of instant freshness. Non-rinse.
Positives: Even removes water-resistant make-up. One bottle of Sensibio H2O sold around the world every 5 seconds!
**Initial thoughts on viewing the product:**
I was incredibly lucky some time ago. I won a bottle of this cult favourite! Not only did I win a bottle, but I won the 500ml limited edition pump pack, plus a mini travel bottle (100ml), in addition to a cute little zip pack of cotton rounds, perfect for travel! Gee did I feel spoiled.
**Thoughts on application:**
Micellar water is one of the most amazing things to have ever hit the market by way of makeup removal products. Particularly for people who have sensitive skin, sensitive eyes or if you wear contact lenses. This is no exception. This crystal clear micellar water is perfect for persons with any kind of sensitivity. This micellar is scent-free, colour-free and, as far as I am concerned, without any kind of irritation.
Except, it doesn’t perform to my expectations. Bummer. This cult favourite just didn’t pass muster. For a micellar to not be able to remove my mascara was a real killer for me (and I don’t even wear waterproof). I don’t want to keep wiping away at my eyes over and over again to get my mascara off. That’s a redundant process. I will say that this micellar does well at removing some makeup but residue does remain. I absolutely must do a second cleanse (preferably with a foaming cleanser). If I was wearing a heavy makeup, then a lotion or oil-based cleanser and then a foaming cleanser is also required. This micellar is simply the first pass, or a toner alternative.
Ideal for
This product is recommended for all skin types. And I do not disagree there. This is perfect for all skin types and sensitivities. However I do not agree with the constant reapplication; it needs to work well at first pass! You have to go through a lot of product to get the results you need. That’s an expensive way to go. This is not a micellar I would go out of my way to buy, but if you have skin sensitivities, I would recommend it. I’ll be recycling the pump bottle: that’s a winner.
