It cleans my skin well on the first cleanse. When using micellar water, I usually cleanse twice to ensure my face is clean of dust and what not. The first cleanse already feels clean! My skin feels soothed and smooth after. I also put products on my eyelids and this micellar water does not sting my eyes at all! My skin actually feels fresh after. Wiping on face feels so smooth and easy. Does not feel drying or sticky at all.
