Like Magic
I am an old woman, and have had oily and often problem skin since my teens. My parents even sent me to a dermatologist weekly in high school. Nothing did much good, and certainly not with any ease of use! Tried every new thing on the market for decades.
When I saw a commercial for micellar water, I just thought, Yeah, right! But then I heard someone talking about it and decided to give it a try. It might not work as well for everyone, but it honestly gets my skin cleaner than anything I've ever used. Even little electric brushes and dermabrasion things. Really. They helped, but didn't do all that much good over time.
I got my first bottle of micellar water at the drug store, and am just ordering my second one today. It is like magic. I don't use heavy makeup at all, just sometimes sheer lip gloss and some eyebrow definer, maybe liner and a very little mascara. But EVERYTHING comes off in one swoop. And in case I thought it was just an illusion, my skin stays nice and soft and smooth and neither dry nor oily all day or all night.
I still get some blackheads, small but annoying, and this stuff has helped to shrink them down. I think it sort of takes off the top layer (?) so then the rest of the guck comes out little by little? My imagination? There aren't as many anyway.
This is just so great for me, I had to review it for those who might be on the edge - try it, not try it - DO. It's not even expensive.
Oh, and there is NO clean up afterwards! Just throw away the cotton pads and put on a light moisturizer.
