For a long time, micellar water was one of my go-to products for removing makeup. It’s quick, convenient, and perfect when you want to take off your makeup without a full skincare routine. However, after I started double cleansing with a cleansing balm or cleansing oil followed by a foam cleanser, I slowly stopped using micellar water in my routine.

Double cleansing simply works better for me because it removes sunscreen, makeup, and impurities more thoroughly while helping keep my pores clean.

That said, I recently started using the Avène Makeup Removing Micellar Water again, and I wanted to share my thoughts after testing it for a while.
