Just about any skin type can use micellar water, but it is particularly beneficial for certain skin types. “It is great for people with dry and sensitive skin, because it is very gentle and can wash the face without stripping the skin of its natural, protective oil barrier,” says Dr. Shainhouse. Those with dry and sensitive skin will likely be able to use micellar water as their sole cleanser, so long as they are not wearing any heavy makeup. Those with acne-prone and oily skin will benefit from using this gentle cleansing product – and shouldn’t worry about it leaving behind a greasy residue. That being said, Dr. Shainhouse advises that those with oily skin might need an additional cleansing step to thoroughly clean the skin.
