Bioderma is a classic standard bearer for micellar water. It's on the shortlist of must-have products from French pharmacies, and the company claims a bottle is sold somewhere in the world every two seconds. It's a favorite of models, makeup artists, and the general public. It's also one of the best-sellers in all of skin-care products on Amazon and has more than 1,700 five-star reviews.
Garnier's cost-effective micellar water is a fan-favorite for its low price, efficacy on "waterproof" makeup, and suitability for multiple skin types. It has more than 14,000 reviews on Target with a 4.5-star overall rating and more than 2,000 five-star reviews on Amazon.
Noted as one of Business Insider editor Sally Kaplan's favorite cleansers, the Simple micellar water is "kind to skin" — meaning it's gentle, non-irritating, and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. Simple micellar water also claims to boost skin's hydration by 90%. If you have sensitive skin, this may be the best place to start.
This cleansing water is Tokyo-based Koh Gen Do's most popular product and has made its way from Amazon to trendy fashion sites like Revolve. It's infused with mineral-rich hot spring water and six essential herbs to protect and nurture skin. White birch sap, harvested only three weeks each spring, adds minerals and xylitol as it effectively removes makeup, oils, and residue.
Son & Park, a beauty company created by Korean celebrity makeup artists, has received well-deserved notice in the K-beauty moment.
The line's micellar water is among the best-sellers on Sephora, has been favorited more than 40,000 times on the site, and has been called a Holy Grail pH balancer. Lavender water, rosewater, and orange fruit extract hydrate the skin, while willow bark and papaya extract remove dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
Another Francophile favorite, Eau Thermale Avène's micellar water benefits from the fundamental simplicity the company has guarded for its 270 years of hydrotherapy and skin-care expertise. Its core ingredient, Avène Thermal Spring Water, soothes and helps minimize skin sensitivity. If you want a gentle, elevated option for micellar water, this is a solid option.
One of the earliest to enter the micellar water game, Dior's No-Rinse Micellar Milk is an incumbent fan-favorite. The cleanser combines the cleansing power of oil micelles with the nourishing properties of rice milk. If you're concerned about your eco-footprint, it's also an added incentive that the House of Dior works to prioritize eco-friendly practices. Cartons are printed with mostly natural inks and produced with sustainable forest management methods.
Don't be surprised if someone tells you they've been using this micellar water for years. Lancôme has been an authority in luxury beauty and skin care for 80 of them, and the Eau Fraîche Douceur Micellar Cleansing Water is an easy-to-love product. It uses micelles and rose extract to remove impurities, grime, and makeup — even waterproof — and leaves the skin feeling clean, hydrated, and never greasy.
Another mainstay of French pharmacy must-haves is usual suspect La Roche Posay. The micellar water should remove 99% of long-wearing foundation and doesn't require rinsing. The cleanser included (Poloxamer) is so mild it's used in contact lens solution. Glycerin and thermal spring water soothe skin and hydrate with antioxidants.
