Micellar waters can be bad news for people with congested skin that's prone to breakouts,' advises Kerr. 'This is because the ingredients used in micellar waters leave a surface residue on the skin which can act like a film, blocking pores and disrupting oil production.
My review: it caused irritation & acne on my skin
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.
Bioderma literally invented micellar water in the mid-90s and this stuff is incredible.

NOTE: Why was micellar water invented? on Is Micellar Water Beneficial To The Skin? | The Skin Nerd Blog
QUOTE: "The water-based cleanser was invented by Jean-Noël Thorel, the French founder of the skincare line Bioderma. Micellar water was created to cleanse and hydrate because the naturally hard tap water was too harsh on skin, leading to dry, dull complexions" -- If You Aren't Using Micellar Water Already, Here's Why You Should Start ASAP
I've used it since I was a girl. It's the original micellar water (the others just jumped on it like a fad when they realized there was money to be made off it) and, unlike all the popular knock-offs, it contains no detergents or additives that require it to be rinsed off -- which was the point of using micellar water (instead of the available harsh often metallic water) and why it was invented in the first place. You can rinse if you like but it's not necessary.
100% effective. Safe and gentle. Affordable. Best on the market, no competition.
Wonderful product! But absolutely rinse it off!!
