Sounds Amazing, Tell Us More!

Radiant Micellar Water is made up of micelles, aka, tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules that are suspended in soft water. Sounds kinda magical, right? The micelles work like magnets on your skin to attract even microscopic impurities along with dirt, oil, and makeup. Thanks to the crazy power of the micelles, it picks up all this stuff easily, so you never have to pull or rub your skin. Plus, it doesn’t strip skin of it’s natural moisture or radiance, so your skin is left cleansed yet still hydrated every time. The liquid looks just like water and has the same viscosity, but you can tell the difference as soon as you apply it. It feels much silkier, and leaves a light layer of moisture on your skin. *Chef’s kiss*

Fantastic, But Is It Right For My Skin?

Because Radiant Micellar Water is so gentle and hydrating, it’s a great option for dry and sensitive skin. Traditional cleansers can sometimes be too stripping, and also might leave behind chemicals that continue to dry out skin–whereas Radiant Micellar Water is formulated with Aloe Vera and Rose Water, which soothe, hydrate, and comfort skin, as well as Hyaluronic Acid, which hydrates, softens, and smooths. These powerhouse ingredients are clean and vegan, and make our formula even more ideal for dry and sensitive skin types.

I’m Sold, Now How Do I Use It?

Micellar water is great to use in the morning, when you don’t want to fully wash your face and lose all those natural oils your skin worked so hard to create overnight. Dab some onto a cotton pad and wipe gently across your face, then follow with the rest of your morning routine. It’s also perfect to take with you throughout the day, use after a workout – anytime you want to freshen up that face. At night when you’re removing makeup, start with micellar water as your first step. For waterproof or stubborn eye makeup like mascara, hold the pad still on those areas for a few extra seconds and it should come right off. If you’re wearing a full face, it’s always a good idea to finish with a double cleanse.

Now that you’re micellar water masters, it’s time to try the latest superstar essential from Refreshments! We can’t wait to hear what you think.
