Rating of the best micellar waters

The skincare market is evolving rapidly, offering new beauty products every day and finding effective ingredients. One of the new products is micellar water, which helps to effectively cleanse the skin. This product is present in the assortment line of a wide variety of brands. In our review, we will try to understand the features of micellar water from different manufacturers and give a rating of the best care products in the opinion of users and cosmetologists.

Nowadays, in the cosmetic departments of supermarkets, the widest selection of micellar water from a variety of companies is presented, and the price tag for them varies from 50 to 1000 rubles. To understand the effectiveness of the proposed drugs and choose the most effective one, We suggest that you first familiarize yourself with the categories of this care product, which stand out depending on the type of micelle.

Poloxamer is an emulsifier with wetting properties. The substance is commonly used to create shower gels, make-up removers, shampoos and oral care fluids. It is a safe component with pronounced antimicrobial activity. Products of the following brands are presented in this category:

• Vichy;
• Garnier;
• LRP;
• Nivea;
• L'oreal.

This group includes micellar with natural cleansing ingredients (Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Coco-Glucoside Tartrate, as well as Coco Glucoside and Disodium Coco-Glucoside Citrate). All listed ingredients absolutely non-toxic, they do not cause peeling and irritation on the skin, nevertheless, cosmetologists advise not to abuse them.

In recent years, there has been an active debate about the safety of Lauryl Glucoside, since with insufficient purity of the substance, the likelihood of developing an allergy is extremely high. In this line, brands release their products Melvita as well as MyChelle Dermaceuticals from iHerb and Derma.

PEGs are a very large group of ingredients that are often used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even food products. PEG stands for Polyethylene Glycol. This component is synthesized from castor oil, but it can also be obtained from oil, therefore poorly purified PEG can be toxic and carcinogenic.

That is why the preference it is better to give it to trusted brands that have a good reputation in the market, for example, Black Pearl, Bioderma and Diademine.

Let us dwell in more detail on the rating of the most effective products according to reviews of cosmetologists and users.

This micellar water is recommended for use by many well-known beauty experts, and the manufacturer claims to have developed the optimal formula for the cleansing agent. The micelles present in the water form an optimal microemulsion while maintaining the physiological pH of the skin. The composition assumes moisturizing active ingredients, therefore effectively combats dryness, flaking and dehydration of the skin, but at the same time preserves the lipid film on the epidermis.

Users note that the use of water has a cumulative effect, therefore, after a few months of use, the amount of inflammation decreases, and the relief becomes smoother. Of the shortcomings, only the high cost of the product is noted.

This is one of the most popular micellars in the mass market. Although this skin care product can be used even on very sensitive skin, it can remove even the most stubborn makeup without any problems. The composition does not leave a sticky feeling, does not form a film and does not irritate the eyes. At the same time, the tool is especially economical, therefore, to completely remove the make-up, it will take several passes with a cotton pad over the face.

This is one of the best products to use in the hot season. Water is optimal for problem skin, has a physiological pH, therefore it delicately cleanses the skin, maintaining its protective barrier at a natural level. With constant use it regulates the production of sebum and slightly mattifies the face... Of the shortcomings, it can be noted far off-budget product cost and inconvenient dispenser.

All care products are created on the basis of environmentally friendly thermal water, therefore take care of the skin as delicately as possible. In addition, they have a subtle odor, which is rarely found in micellar waters for oily and combination skin types. Such funds have the ability to reduce irritation while effectively removing lipstick and mascara residues from the eyes.

Micellar water from the domestic brand "Chistaya Liniya" is very popular among Russian women due to the low price. However, reviews about the effectiveness of this tool are not so unambiguous - most users claim that the composition is powerless against waterproof cosmetics, although the skin becomes soft and tender after using them.

This micellar water is in the budget category, while it copes with the task of cleaning the skin in full. Micellar from this manufacturer removes even particularly persistent mascara and lipstick, does not stick and has a weak aroma.Of course, you should not expect it to eliminate acne and inflammation. But if your goal is simply to remove makeup from your face, then you can safely turn your attention to this particular tool.

When choosing a cosmetic product, you should not follow the advice of friends and fashion bloggers. The skin of any person has its own individual characteristics, so the purchase of effective care products is possible solely on the basis of your own trial and error, or at least the advice of a cosmetologist.

If you have normal skin, not prone to oily and inflammation, the simplest PEG-based micellar will be enough for you, which effectively removes the make-up. But it will not give any additional leaving effects. If the skin has a predisposition to excessive sebum secretion, then it is better to make your choice in favor of the "green series" with polysorbate. This micellar water closes the pores, thereby reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.

This water can be left on after use, but after cleaning it is advised to treat the face with a tonic or apply a cleansing mask... For women with dry, irritable dermis, micellar made from poloxamers is the best choice. They work gently with the epidermis and do not need to be rinsed off after use.

Analyzing the reviews left by users on various thematic sites and forums, it can be noted that many women like Nivea micellar water from the budget segment. The care product contains moisturizers, therefore micellar in its action is a bit like a tonic. Reviews for this product are mostly positive.

Grape seed oil nourishes the skin, while panthenol relieves irritation and soothes. That is why users agree that Nivea is the best choice of micellar water for problematic facial skin. As for the immediate purpose, then this product washes away only light makeup.

From the budget segment, according to buyers, micellar water "Ya Samaya" is highly effective. This tool quickly removes lipstick, prevents foundation from clogging in pores, removes mascara without making your eyes water. After using water, the skin looks fresh and non-irritated. In combination with the low price, this makes the water one of the most popular among our compatriots.

But the widely advertised mycelium "Black Pearl", on the contrary, turned out to be among the failed care products. After using it, an unpleasant sensation remains on the skin, and irritation appears on the mucous membrane of the eyes, and this point defies any explanation, since the composition of the micellar should completely exclude such an effect. Probably, this micellar contains harsh chemicals or basic components, introduced in the wrong proportion.

One of the best micellar waters in the world is considered means of the French brand Ducray Ictyane. For more than 10 years, cosmetologists, in tandem with dermatologists and chemists, have created a universal recipe for highly effective micellar water and have developed, perhaps, a real masterpiece. The use of carefully similar ingredients promotes hydration of the skin, the accumulation and retention of moisture in the dermis. Besides, micellar is compatible with contact lenses and is practically odorless.

The undoubted favorite among pharmacy micellars is La Roche-Posay Ultra. This water quickly and effortlessly removes even the most stubborn makeup - some call it the champion in makeup removal. The composition is soft and delicate, suitable for sensitive eyes, and after use leaves a feeling of freshness on the skin. Unlike her, another product from the elite segment from Vichy does not justify its cost. Micellar water from this brand smells of roses, but, according to users, it does not cope with persistent carcasses, and after using it, the skin feels sticky.
