Many women wonder whether they need to rinse off their micellar water after removing their makeup. Today, we'll tell you everything!

What are micelles made of?

Micelles, the small cleansing spheres that ensure the effectiveness of the micellar water formula, are made up of "biomimetic" molecules. This means they are similar to molecules naturally produced by the skin, meaning the formula is biocompatible with the epidermis.

PAYOT micellar effectiveness for gentle makeup removal

In the no-rinse formula of Micellar Cleansing Water, special care is taken to select extremely gentle surfactants, present in much smaller quantities than in conventional facial cleansers. The goal is to allow for thorough makeup removal thanks to a formula that will allow you to avoid having to cleanse your skin further afterwards. This could prove irritating, especially with the limescale present in tap water.
