Can I use this micellar water daily?

Yes. The mild, soap-free formula is gentle on sensitive skin, making it suitable for use morning and evening. It can serve as the main cleanser or the first step before other skincare products.

Will it remove waterproof make-up?

It removes most make-up with ease, though very stubborn waterproof mascara may need a second round or a specific remover. For everyday foundation, eyes, and lips, one application on a cotton pad is often enough.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

While it works best for oily, combination, or sensitive skin, the hydrating formula means those with normal or even slightly dry skin can also enjoy its benefits. It reduces shine without stripping moisture.

Does it leave sticky residue?

No. Effaclar Purifying Micellar Water absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling fresh, light, and clean. It primes the face for moisturiser, sunscreen, or make-up without clogging pores.

Is there fragrance in the formula?

Yes, but it’s a mild fragrance created for sensitive skin. The blend is free from harsh alcohol, parabens, and common irritants, helping lower the chance of a reaction.

Can it help with acne or excess oil?

While not an acne treatment, regular use helps skin appear clearer by lifting away oil, debris, and dead skin cells. Zinc PCA and glycerin help balance oil, reduce redness, and leave pores feeling fresh.
