What is Micellar Water?
Micellar waters are no rinse cleansers that take their name from micelles, the microscopic cleansing agents that are used in their formulas. These micelles have a lipophilic core that attract oil and impurities.
How to Use
Apply micellar water to a cotton pad and gently wipe face, eyes, and lips. Repeat until cotton pad looks clean and no rinse needed. Use as a cleanser, makeup remover and face toner.
Recommended for gentle cleansing and makeup removal. For all skin types.
Dermatologist & Ophthalmologist Tested
Our Micellar Water is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested to be suitable for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes.
Deep-rooted in dermatological heritage, La Roche-Posay skin care products are developed according to a strict formulation charter to combine safety and efficacy.
Why You Should Cleanse with La Roche-Posay Micellar Water

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does this save me in my morning routine compared to a multi-step cleanse?
Significantly. Instead of cleansing, toning, and using a separate makeup remover, you apply this once and you're done. It collapses three steps into one—saving 2–3 minutes every morning and evening.
Is this travel-friendly enough to carry in my gym bag or work bag for touchups?
Yes. The 6.8 fl oz size is compact and TSA-approved, perfect for gym lockers, work desks, or travel bags. The no-rinse formula means you can refresh your face anywhere, anytime.
Can I use this on-the-go without access to running water?
Yes. The entire point of this formula is that it requires no water or rinsing. It's ideal for gym cleanups, office refreshes, or travel scenarios where you don't have sink access.
Does this work as a quick makeup remover before my evening workout or commute?
Perfect for that. It removes 99% of long-wearing foundation in seconds, so you can cleanse before the gym, after work, or during travel without spending time at the sink.
Will one bottle last long enough for daily use, or will I need to repurchase constantly?
The 13.52 fl oz size offers excellent value for daily users, lasting weeks with consistent use. Even the 6.8 fl oz travel size provides several weeks of regular application.
How do I use this micellar water correctly for best results?
Apply to a cotton pad and gently wipe across your face and neck to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. No rinsing needed. Use morning and evening as part of your skincare routine. One application is typically sufficient, though you can repeat if needed.
Can I use this micellar water on my eyes, or do I need a separate eye makeup remover?
Yes, it's gentle enough for the eye area, including removing mascara and eyeshadow. However, if you wear waterproof eye makeup, you may want to focus slightly longer on the eye area or use a dedicated waterproof remover first.
Do I need to follow this up with a moisturizer, or is it hydrating enough on its own?
While this formula hydrates, it's most effective as the first cleansing step. Follow with your regular moisturizer or hydrating serum to lock in hydration and complete your skincare routine.
Does this micellar water work for all skin types, or is it only for sensitive skin?
While formulated for sensitive skin, the oil-free, gentle formula works across all skin types—sensitive, combination, oily, and normal. It's universally effective because it doesn't over-strip or irritate any skin type.
What's included in the bottle, and what do I need to buy separately?
The bottle contains only the micellar cleansing water. You'll need cotton pads (which most people already have) to apply it. No additional products are required, though a moisturizer is recommended to follow.
How long does a bottle typically last with daily use?
The 6.8 fl oz size lasts approximately 2–3 weeks with twice-daily use (morning and evening). The 13.52 fl oz size lasts approximately 5–7 weeks, making it better value for regular users.
Is this product safe for me if I have very reactive or sensitized skin?
Yes. It's dermatologist-recommended and specifically formulated to be gentle on reactive skin. It contains no fragrance, dyes, or common irritants, and doesn't disrupt your skin barrier. Always patch-test if you're prone to reactions.
Can I use this product if I'm pregnant or nursing?
The micellar water is gentle and contains no harmful chemicals. However, if you're pregnant or nursing and have concerns, consult your dermatologist or OB-GYN before introducing any new skincare product.
What is micellar water, and how does it differ from regular face wash?
Micellar water contains tiny oil molecules (micelles) suspended in water that gently lift away makeup, oil, and impurities without harsh scrubbing or surfactants. Unlike regular face wash, it requires no rinsing and leaves skin feeling hydrated rather than stripped.
What's in the box when my order arrives?
Your order includes the micellar cleansing water bottle (6.8 fl oz or 13.52 fl oz, depending on size selected). No cotton pads are included, but the product works with any makeup remover pad you already own.
