Many people confuse cleanser and micellar water, and although both have some very similar characteristics, it is important to say that they are not the same product. If you've followed our guide up to this point, you should already know that the main function of makeup remover is to remove makeup, including those of high fixation and water-resistant makeup. As a consequence, it ends up being a product that collaborates to the cleaning of the skin, also removing impurities and dead cells.
Micellar water works in the opposite way, its main function is to cleanse the skin. It consists of micelles, particles that act as magnets and pull all impurities and oiliness from the skin. Thus, it also ends up being a good way to remove makeup, but only those that are not waterproof and have low fixation. Micellar water is very suitable for super sensitive skin, since it is free of parabens, alcohol and perfumes.
