Bioderma Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "It will take off all make-up (including eye makeup but may need scrubbing), as well as oils, dirt, etc."
• "It actually removes any makeup left after washing with a creamy cleanser."
• "This does a great job cleaning and refreshing."
• "It cleans makeup really good and my skin feels fresh (not oily) and soft afterwards."
• "All the makeup is gone and my skin feels like it kept the moisture."
• "Takes my waterproof makeup and leftover lash glue off without having to rub hard."
• "Can remove even waterproof and other resistant makeup without hard rubbing the skin."

Cons:

• "But does not erase my waterproof eyeliner as well as I would've liked."
• "However it doesn't remove the waterproof eye liner/mascara as easy as those blue neutrogena make up remover cleansing towelettes."
• "However, removing mascara with this product is lackluster."
• "I have to mention that it does not remove water proof mascara, even though i soaked the whole cotton with solutions then put it on my eyes for almost a minute, my mascara was still there."
• "It works great as when I'm too lazy to cleanse my face. I was expecting it to remove my make up too, and it does NOT take off water proof mascara."
• "However, as a makeup remover, I find this irritates my eyes quite noticeably when I remove my eye makeup, especially mascara and around my waterline."
• "This product seems to control my oil a bit more and balance my skin out in general, helping prevent breakouts."

Skin Sensitivity

Pros:

• "This stuff is great and works very well on sensitive acne prone skin."
• "This is so gentle and never makes my eyes sting."
• "It’s gentle on my very sensitive skin and is working on evening out my skin tone."
• "Great product for sensitive skin."
• "It if perfect for my sensitive skin and removes my makeup gently and efficiently!"
• "I have very sensitive skin, and this has been a miracle product."
• "Very gentle, non drying on my overly sensitive, acne prone skin."

Cons:

• "This product just destroyed my skin, my face is all covered in red spots and pimples."
• "It also stung my eyes when I took off my eye makeup."
• "I don't enjoy this as much as the pink one. I know this one is for oily skin but it left a burning sensation on my skin and I had to wash my face every time after I used it which kind of defeated the purpose."
• "I noticed last night that my face was stinging when I washed it and used a gentle toner, and I’m pretty sure this is the culprit."
• "It felt prickly... It was burning, stinging and my face was on fire!"
• "This product burns my face and not in a good (exfoliating) way."
• "What I didn’t like was that you can’t really use it to remove makeup from your eyes; it really stings a lot."

Scent

Pros:

• "I love the clean feeling it leaves and the smell is very light."
• "It has a very nice scent."
• "There is a light scent, but I'm scent sensitive and it doesn't bother me."
• "Also I'm pretty sensitive to smells and this has a subtle clean/fresh scent, which doesn't bother me."
• "It has a mild cucumber and rose smell but you really cant smell it unless its right under your nose."
• "This smells amazing!!"
• "Smells great!"

Cons:

• "Wow this product works great and has a strong fragrance which I do not like."
• "It also leaves a film on the skin and if you happen to lick your lips at any point hours after using it, the taste is disgusting."
• "But it smells disgusting."
• "The micellar water for combination/oily skin does not have a pleasant smell."
• "I can barely use the product because of how intense the scent is."
• "This product has an unpleasant musty smell."
• "The fragrance is quite strong, in my opinion. (It's almost the facial product equivalent of a 'freshly cleaned sheets' type of scent, but can be overpowering.)"

Packaging and Price

Pros:

• "Great price here on Amazon. Expiration date 13 months out."
• "Totally worth the affordable price and more."
• "Besides it has a great price!"
• "I'm happy to have stumbled upon this on amazon, as the price is not too high."
• "And for the price I love that you get 2 HUGE bottles!"
• "The duo pack is a great deal! It removes make up and all the skin impurities."
• "I just wish it was cheaper."

Cons:

• "Afterwards I realized that there was no safety seal of any kind around the bottle."
• "While I love this product, it was always $19.90 until Sept 2023 when it was raised to $27.00. This month, April 2023, the price jumped to $39.00!"
• "Yes, it's kind of expensive compared to other brands."
• "However, this time one of the bottles arrived broken and the content spilled."
• "The bottle arrived with a broken cap, so that’s a bit of an inconvenience."
• "Unfortunately though there was one issue: on my second order both lids were chipped & one of them was cracked all around which made some of it leak out."
• "Love the product, BUT it's the second time I've received a bottle with a broken cap!"

Overall Skin Health

Pros:
