Finally a more affordable micellar solution is now available! Very recently L'Oreal brought out the Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution similar to the cult product from Bioderma that many have gone crazy for. I bought this as I've been wanting to try a micellar water for ages after hearing so many rave reviews. However, I've always held back as Bioderma can be difficult to get hold of (until recently) and I would rather spend the money on a 'proper' cleanser. That was until this made an appearance and I had to try it!
L'Oreal describe this as a "purifying magnet...to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities" whilst at the same time dissolving all traces of make-up. As I haven't tried any other similar products I can't compare this but what I can say is that after trying this once I went out and bought another one as a back up for when this one runs out! It removed all of my face make-up and eye make-up in two cotton pads leaving absolutely no residue on my skin. As I have dry skin I thought this may dry it out as I'm used to using cream/balm cleansers but it hasn't at all so if you have dry/combination skin don't worry. My eyes can also be sensitive to some eye make-up removers and sting but this didn't make them red or uncomfortable in the slightest which is something I have been yet experience with any eye make-up remover!
I don't think I'll be saying goodbye to my cream cleansers completely but I will definitely use this on my eyes, when I'm feeling lazy or just as a quick cleanser in the morning.
This is currently on offer at Boots for 2 for £6 here or at Superdrug half price here so if you're thinking about giving this a try I would snap one up before they go out of stock!
Have you tried a micellar solution before? What do you think of them?
