Micellar Water - Cleansing and purifying, no rinsing required

A formula specially designed for problem skin and teenagers looking for an all-in-one, no-rinse skincare product.

Micellar water is designed to cleanse and specifically disinfect areas of the face that are starting to break out, after physical activity when sweat has accumulated.

A few drops on a cotton pad are enough to wipe the area to be cleansed. Upon contact with the skin, the micelles trap all dirt, makeup, and sebum without the need to rub the skin.

• Thanks to the presence of micelles, derived from plant sugars, the water is able to dissolve lipids and impurities lodged in the pores of the skin.
• Black willow extract, rich in salicylic acid, improves the skin's cell renewal by promoting exfoliation, which leads to an overall improvement in the appearance of the skin. It is also known for its antimicrobial properties, which can be useful in cases of problematic skin conditions. Based on results obtained in a study, it was concluded that salicin (also called salicylic acid extract found in willow bark) has the ability to reduce the visible signs of skin aging when applied locally.¹
• In combination with glycerin, propanediol, a natural preservative based on corn sugar, it maintains skin hydration. A study evaluated the combination of 1,3-propanediol with glycerol (also called glycerin): this combination provides greater benefit to the skin, improving both hydration and skin barrier function.²
• Refreshing, astringent, and toning, grapefruit essential oil brightens the complexion and adds a touch of good humor.

  The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of grapefruit essential oil would eliminate bacteria and other microbes trapped in the pores and promote the acne elimination process.³

   

This micellar water can be used morning and evening, after cleansing, following sports activity, or directly on a pimple.
