Maybelline Philippines just released one of the newest and most groundbreaking products they have, the Maybelline Micellar Water!
Okay, okay, maybe I'm just hyped about this, but if you're someone who's got sensitive, oily, and acne-prone mature skin like I do, then you probably already know how much of a difference a good makeup cleanser can do in your skin care regimen. Maybelline Micellar Water Review.
But, What is Micellar Water to Begin With?
Okay, micellar water (you pronounce it my-SELL-ar) is simply water that's been infused with micelles. Micelles are teeny-tiny molecules of a special cleansing oil that acts as a strong magnet towards skin impurities, impurities being oil, makeup, and dirt. Upon contact with your skin, micellar water removes makeup by lifting it away together with dirt and excess oil.
The above is the reason why micellar water works as a facial cleanser and a makeup remover in one. Yep! No need for double cleansing (see video below to believe!).
Because micellar water has a gentle formula, it does not harm the skin as it dissolves dirt and makeup on your skin's surface. It does not have to be rinsed off unlike other makeup removers so this is a huge plus, and the best part is it feels just like water!
I'd admit I was skeptical about micellar waters when I first heard about them a few years back but they do work and they work like magic! To use, simply soak up a cotton pan (I actually under-saturated my cotton pad in my review video because I was nagtitipid, haha!), and gently sweep your cotton pad on areas you want to cleanse. There is no need to rub and rinse after, plus there is no sticky after-feel, although your skin won't feel squeaky either :)
I love using micellar water because it provides me with the benefits of double cleansing. It is really a tamad girl's bestfriend! I usually take some for travel, long-flights, and in my GYM kikay kit. My sensitive skin loves micellar water especially for summer!
Okay, enough about the ultra-long intro, let's move on to:
Maybelline Micellar Water Review
 |
| It is paraben-free too guys! YEY! |
What drew me to the Maybelline Micellar Water although I have stashes upon stashes of micellar water at home is hey, Maybelline is one of my fave brands...plus guys, can you see how much a 200 ml bottle is? Only 199 pesos! That's less than a peso per ml, making the Maybelline Micellar Water the most affordable micellar water to hit the Philippine market! Can we get a yey?
The product has four claims, It says it removes makeup, hydrates, cleanses, and soothes.
The Formula is also alcohol-free, oil-free, no-sting, no-rinse, and fragrance-free.
have I mentioned that the formula for the Maybelline Micellar Water is also ophthalmologically tested? It really does not sting! Some micellar waters from other brands have added ingredients that have a slight stinging effect on my eyes so this is a real plus for me.
Here's a Maybelline Micellar Water demo in photos (there's also a video below by the way):

| products for removal testing are L-R: Limecrime liquid lipstick, BH Cosmetics Gel Liner, ABH Liquid Lipstick |

| after 2 swipes |
And yes, the Maybelline Micellar Water did deliver all its claims, no sting, no irritation, no scent, cleanses oil based makeup and waterproof makeup in 1 to 3 gentle swipes. I think it is MORE THAN worth the 199 pesos price per 200 ml.
