View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A micellar water that quickly removes makeup and supports the skin barrier every day.
Use with a cotton pad to remove makeup and impurities to cleanse the skin.
Gently sweep over eye and face area, hold for a few seconds to cleanse.
Try not to pull and tug at skin.
No need to rinse.
What Glass adds
A solid choice for a first cleanse or for those who prefer a no-rinse routine. The addition of niacinamide and postbiotics is a nice touch for barrier support, but it may not be potent enough for heavy-duty makeup removal on its own.
Gentle yet effective
Many users appreciate how well this micellar water removes daily impurities and light makeup without irritating their skin, especially those with dry or sensitive types.
Barrier support bonus
The inclusion of niacinamide and postbiotics is noted as a positive for those looking to maintain skin health and hydration during cleansing.
