micellar water rinse

hi darlings, apparently the biggest mistake i made in skincare was not rinsing the micellar water. I always heard bloggers saying that I should remove the micellar water with water but I thought I was safe from this tip since I always bought the ones that said on the label "does not need rinsing". I was wrong, my skin looks different, it even came out some blackheads as I rubbed water on my face, my face has never been so clean

It depends on your skin and on the formula for micellar water. For Garnier, I definitely rinse out For Bioderma or Simple, I leave in. This is due to the surfactants in Garnier is something you can find in rinse off cleansers While Bioderma and Simple surfactants are the type found in products where they emulsify it and allow it to stay on the skin That’s partly why Bioderma is usually more expensive than Garnier in many places. In the end it’s your choice. But it good to point out the lore that they formulate micellar cleansing water is because of the hard water that causes their skin to breakout so they needed something else to wash their skin and makeup off.

Yes, Bioderma even had a campaign lately in Poland where they promoted their micellar water as a product that doesn't need removing with water, but still it's stronger than me - I had to use water after since my skin feels bit sticky

Yesss i always rinse it off because to me micellar water is just like cleanser. And it probably doesn’t remove 100% of makeup and might leave some makeup particles behind so I like to be safe and follow up with a foam/gel cleanser too.

I use micellar water as first cleanser, so I will rinse it when doing my second cleanser

I also learned this hard way but it does make a big difference specially to improve texture on my skin
