Micellar water and acne.

As its name indicates, micellar water contains micelles that remove impurities from the skin. They absorb pollutants, cosmetic residues, and excess sebum. These surfactants have two poles:

• A lipophilic pole;

• A hydrophilic pole.

Thus, micelles remove:

• External residues originating from the environment;

• Impurities from the skin’s natural functions: sweating, desquamation, and sebum.

Micellar water is a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without leaving an oily film. It suits oily and combination skin and is used in the evening to clear sebum and pollution residues.

Micellar waters contain active ingredients that:

• Thorough epidermal purification;

• Prevent the appearance of small pimples.

Thus, these skincare treatments have regulating and cleansing properties.

Particle buildup can cause skin inflammation and contribute to acne. Daily cleansing removes:

• Dead cells resulting from natural desquamation;

• Excess sebum;

• External residues originating from air pollution.

Micellar water removes sebum, makeup, and impurities without stripping or irritating the skin. It suits reactive and intolerant skin types. Acne-prone skin may react to drying treatments and deep-cleansing scrubs. Due to its soothing and purifying properties, micellar water helps reduce irritation. This treatment offers a dual action: it removes makeup while providing gentle facial cleansing. Micellar water absorbs makeup and holds it in a cotton pad to cleanse the skin.
