“Sensitive Skin Micellar Water”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (peg-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, peg-7 caprylic/capric glycerides, poloxamer 124, poloxamer 184, polysorbate 80) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

User reviews
1 of 1 community members would buy it again.
Been a long-time user of this product, as face washes tend to be too harsh on me. I use it almost every day, doesn't clean too hard. Started having less pimples when using it regularly. Works well with my combination skin. With comparison, the other micellar water of the same brand (for oily skin) left my skin irritated, but this one hardly does. Even saved me once when I put a really irritating product on my face.
