Micellar water

Micellar water is a water-based cleanser containing gentle cleansing agents called micelles. These micelles attract both oily and non-oily impurities and residues, which are transferred onto the cotton pad as you sweep it across your face and neck.

Micelles are gentle, soap-free cleansing agents in the form of tiny microspheres. Each one has a hydrophilic outer shell and a lipophilic core, which attract both oily and water-soluble particles like a magnet. This dual affinity makes micellar water highly effective at removing all types of impurities, including sebum, sweat, dead cells, pollution, and makeup.

BIODERMA's micellar water for sensitive, dehydrated, oily, and children's skin is formulated with highly purified water. However, our micellar technology can also be used with an oil base, as seen in Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil offering sensitive skin the comfort of a cleansing oil.

Micellar water cleanses and removes makeup quickly and effectively. BIODERMA micellar waters offer high tolerance, thanks to unique formulas adapted to the skin's needs, including those for oily, sensitive, dehydrated, and children's delicate skin.
