Micellar Water: The French Makeup Remover Your Skin *Needs*

Ask any French person about their skincare routine (or, let's be honest, just Google "French beauty products") and I guarantee you'll see one product that pops up again and again: micellar water. The French beauty staple is basically a miracle water and has become incredibly popular in the U.S. Why? Because micellar water contains micelles (aka teeny-tiny surfactants) that act like magnets to attract makeup, dirt, and excess oil, but without stripping your skin or disrupting its protective barrier in the process. The result? Skin that's fresh, clean, and baby-soft.

And micellar waters are soooo easy to use: Just saturate a cotton round (preferably a reusable one, bc sustainability) with your micellar water of choice and sweep it over your face until your makeup is totally gone and your skin feels clean. No rinsing required. Sold? I thought so. Ahead, the 10 best micellar waters for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, oily, and acne-prone.
