"Another one that I started using at a point this year when I couldn't find the Biodma one in stores, I think it was around the time that they were doing their rebrand. It is the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micellar Water. This particular Micellar Water is a newer product for the La Roche-Posay Effaclar range and I think it's perfect [...] because it pairs beautifully with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar cleanser, which is my go-to cleanser."

"La Roche-Posay also has an Effaclar Micellar Water for acne-prone skin. It's one of the two micellar waters I've tried and trust, and I'd recommend it for double cleansing instead of jumping on the oil cleansing bandwagon."

"I'm actually just going to use some Micellar Water from La Roche-Posay and I'm going to just put that onto a cotton pad to cleanse the sunscreen and any dirt and whatever off of my neck. You don't always have to rinse Micellar Water off your face but I do like to just go in with a wet washcloth just to get any of the remnants off because I do find like it can leave my skin feeling kind of sticky."

"La Roche-Posay's Micellar Water, first of all, it does have a scent. Second of all, it does burn around the eyes. It does a pretty good job taking stuff off of your face, but it will not touch long-wear lipstick. It's not going anywhere. Just the Micellar Water, rubbing it around, and then getting in the shower and trying to rinse it off. No, forget about it. It's staying on there."
