What is micellar water—and how does it work?

First things first. Before we jump into the benefits and uses of micellar water, let’s quickly touch on what it is.

Micellar water is a gentle cleansing solution. It looks and feels like regular water, but does so much more. The magic behind micellar water lies in tiny oil molecules known as micelles. These microscopic spheres are suspended in soft water and act like magnets. They easily pull away impurities, makeup, and excess oil from your skin.

With just a few sprays or swipes of a cotton pad, micellar water can cleanse and tone your skin. It removes makeup residue and leaves your skin feeling moisturized. Best of all, there’s no need to wash it off afterward.

These qualities make micellar water a great multitasker. It’s also perfect for travel or late nights where a proper face wash just isn’t going to happen.

Where does micellar water come from?

If you look at any French beauty enthusiast’s skincare routine, you will likely see micellar water is a must-have. That’s because micellar water originated in France.

The tap water in France is 'hard' by water quality standards. It contains a high percentage of dissolved minerals, such as magnesium and calcium. These minerals can strip moisture from the skin, which can leave it dry and irritated.

French beauty companies developed micellar water to clean skin without using hard water. This helps avoid dryness and irritation. And while the solution has been around for some time, it truly started gaining popularity in the 2000s as a sensitive skin cleanser—even in areas that don’t have a hard water issue.

Micellar water is a great choice for people with sensitive skin, because it doesn’t require harsh scrubbing or rinsing.

What are the benefits of micellar water?

Micellar water offers a host of benefits for your skin, lashes, and brows, including:

Cleansing the skin and eye area. As mentioned, micelles act as a gentle cleanser, pulling away impurities, dirt, and sebum from oily skin, lashes, and brows.
Removing makeup. It’s not just dirt and oil that micellar water can get rid of; it also acts as a gentle makeup remover (including as an eye makeup remover for lashes and a makeup remover for brows). It can remove makeup better and less harshly than many other methods.
Hydrating the skin. Micellar water is great for any skin type because it doesn’t dry out the skin. But it can go a step further—as in addition to not stripping the skin of moisture, hydrating micellar water can also add a potent dose of hydration to the skin. It’s basically micellar water skincare!

How to use Micellar Water Lash Wash

Want to give the Micellar Water Lash Wash a try? Here are the steps to keep in mind:

Step 1: Spray 4-6 times onto a cotton pad.

Step 2: Gently press the pad on the closed eye for 10 to 15 seconds to help loosen makeup.

Step 3: Wipe the eye area clean and repeat as needed to fully remove dirt and makeup products from lashes, brows, eyelids, and lash line.

How to use Micellar Water Lash Wash with eyelash extensions

Got extensions? You’re in luck!

Lash extensions can be hard to clean because harsh scrubbing and oil-based cleansers can damage them. Micellar Water Lash Wash is the perfect product to use along with eyelash extensions; the application process is just slightly different.

Because it’s oil-free, applying Micellar Water Lash Wash directly on the lashes can keep both lashes and extensions clean without compromising their integrity. So, if you have eyelash extensions, do not use Micellar Water Lash Wash with a cotton pad. Instead, spray a few pumps directly onto the closed eye, lightly massaging product along lashes, brows, and lids—then gently wipe dry.

How to build a healthy lash and brow routine with Micellar Water Lash Wash

Our Micellar Water Lash Wash is also safe to use with other lash and brow products. For best results, pair it with other products designed to hydrate, nourish, and support optimal lash and brow health, including:

Our Lash and Brow Masque, which helps to repair damaged lashes and brows by infusing them with an intense burst of nutrient-rich ingredients to support brows and lashes in looking their shiniest and healthiest;
RevitaLash® Advanced eyelash serum, which is physician-developed to address the visible signs of eyelash aging for healthier-looking lashes; and
RevitaBrow® Advanced brow serum which does the same—just for your brows. These four products combined will deliver the ultimate routine for supporting brow and lash health—and can help lashes and brows look more luxurious.
