MICELLAR LOTION Reviews

I’ve become quite a fan of Avene and their products.
As someone who has normal/dry/sensitive skin I find Avene to be generally quite gentle and soothing.
I’ve been using this micellar water out of the many bottles I have because of the way it leaves my skin feeling.
I use it mostly to ‘wipe the day away’ or soothe my skin after sun exposure.
It leaves my skin feeling so nice, it doesn’t leave it feeling dry or agitated.
It really is a lazy girls dream!
I usually don’t wash afterwards and my skin is still ok.
I admit it doesn’t remove all of my eye make up which is why I’ve given it 4 stars out of 5 instead.

Skin: Combination/Dry with the occasional breakouts

The Avene Micellar lotion is a micellar water to keep things simple. This is used to remove makeup and cleanse the face. I purchased the full-size bottle after I had been using Simple Micellar Water and had doubts because the Simple Micellar water had a carcinogenic (DMDM Hydantion) which I was unsure if safe.

The bottle is clear and as with the Avene brand, the packaging is simple yet elegant. The formula is light and watery without a harsh scent. Like the better micellar waters, like Simple, it removes a full face of make up using 3 cotton pads. It did not cause me to breakout or any changes to my dry skin.

I used this to the last drop, and I haven't repurchased because I am currently favoring cleaning balms and oil cleansers for my dry skin to remove my makeup. If I wanted a micellar water, it would be the Avene, Bioderma, or Simple.

I am a huge fan of Micellar water but I've only just recently tried Avene's Micellar Lotion. I love it! I find it slightly more mild than Micellar water, which is already very mild, but equally effective. I've found no irritation to my eyes, but perhaps that's because I don't start on my eyes so by the time I get to them, the lotion is well dispersed over the cotton pad. I go around my face first and finish with my eyes, folding my cotton pad over and removing mascara thoroughly from the top and bottom of my eyelids. One cotton pad removes all of my makeup. I like the mild, pleasant fragrance of this Micellar Lotion. There are other Micellar products out there that are pretty much equally good but less expensive so I look out for a sale, GWP or a multi-buy offer, but this is definitely one of my two preferred brands.

Micellar waters are everywhere these days and I've tried so many that it's unusual for me to find one that really stands out, but this one does.

It's a standard clear formula that's like plain old water in look and feel, and it has a faint soapy scent that shouldn't bother most people.

I've been using mine for months now but I knew from the first use that this was a good product, and it was such a relief to use one that actually worked after having used others that don't.

Each evening I apply a good amount to a makeup pad and run it over my face, and it cuts through grease like nobody's business. It's made my evening skincare routine that much easier.

I only need one pad to remove the gunk from my face (I apply enough on the pad to cover two thirds of its area and then use both sides to get every last bit of makeup from my skin), and while it won't remove waterproof mascara, I'm yet to find a micellar water that does this so I have no complaints about that.

The other good news is that the product generally meets its claims: it does remove makeup and cleanse the skin; it is gentle and it doesn't irritate or strip my dry skin; I agree that it's not greasy but it is refreshing and soothing; and I do think it has a slight moisturising effect too.

All in all, this is an excellent product and my only issue is that it ain't cheap. Still, if you wait for a half-price sale at one of the big pharmacies, then you'll get it for less than $20 and I think it's worth the investment because it does such a great job.

I've tried all sorts of Micellaire waters and lotions to find one that worked with my sensitive skin and thanks to this product arriving in a beauty subscription box I've finally found one! It removes makeup a lot easier that others I've tried and doesn't have a bad smell. I've had no bad reactions to it so I'd highly recommend trying this product if you have sensitive skin. I've never had any problems with it leaving my skin dry or tight. In my opinion it is worth paying a little more for.

I am sure I had used this product in the past, but only now when I received a big 200ml bottle in one of Marie Claire Parcel did I have a chance to trial this product right.
I am a fan of micellar water as long as removing eye make up is concerned. I love the way they work where no rubbing is necessary and at the same time they are extremely gentle. My all time favourite is Garnier one and only god knows how many bottles I have gone through so far, but I am always willing and curious to check new stuff.
I trust Avene as they are a great brand so I knew the product was going to be decent. My biggest shock was upon opening the product and noticing that it has a scent! Yep! It smells, slightly very pleasantly, but at the same time I started doubting whether it was going to be gentle enough for my eyes. It is. The consistency is that of pure water, is not sticky and will not overdry the delicate eye area. It does a great job removing heavy eye make up. I really like the fact that this micellar lotion has got a scent as I like my skincare to smell nice. The only negative thing is that this product is a little bit pricey.

This is the first micellar lotion which I have used and I pleasantly surprised. It is a mildly scented, refreshing and soothing lotion which removes make up without leaving any greasy residue. I enjoyed using it, however taken off a star as it is not sufficient to remove mascara; I still had to use eye make up remover.

That said, I enjoy using this product and would purchase it again. It provides a simple, no fuss way to easily remove make up without needing water.

This is the first micellaire lotion I've tried, and I've been quite impressed by this. I used up a small bottle of this over a month, and found that this took off most of my make up after a long day out.

It faltered a little at removing mascara, as well as my super tough to budge Marc Jacobs liquid liner. I did like that it didn't cause my small patch of eczema to flare up when I rubbed my lids with a cotton pad. It doesn't have much of a scent for me.

I didn't like that I went through it very quickly, however. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent product.

I'm a huge fan of Micellaire cleansing products and this one is easily accessible is Australia. It is a little pricey but it removes makeup well and fantastic for lazy people like me. It does a pretty good job at removing makeup except for waterproof mascara. It's easy to use with a cotton pad and I don't need to scrub at or tug my skin. It doesn't irritate or leave my skin feeling oily or dried. I also like using it in the mornings instead of washing my face.

This is a fantastic product, I just wish it was cheaper.
