What is micellar water used for?
Micellar water removes all traces of make-up, sebum and various other impurities without stripping or damaging skin, all in one step. Micellar water is perfect for your daily cleansing routine. Use in the morning and at night to gently cleanse while respecting even the most sensitive epidermal skin. It works especially well for people with reactive or intolerant skin for whom even rubbing with cotton wool can cause irritation.

How can I tell the difference between the various micellar waters?
- A specific fatty acid ester called glycerol ester, which is a biomimetic active ingredient that is very similar to the skin’s composition. This is why Bioderma micellar water guarantees such high tolerance, even for sensitive skin.
- High purified water with a unique physiological pH that is the safest available, offering the highest level of chemical and microbiological purity. This is why you do not need to rise off micellar solutions.They are hypoallergenic and contain no alcohol and parabens, perfectly matching with the skin and preserving its hydrolipidic film.
How are they different from water?
Tap water has calcium and chlorine, which may irritate the skin. Thermal waters have no cleansing properties. Their composition varies depending on the season, region and more.
