Micellar Water, £32 | Verso
Best For: Anti-Ageing Properties
Innovatively formulated with spherical molecules that act like magnets, this micellar water removes all unwanted pollutants from the surface of the skin. The formula is also enriched with niacinamide and anti-inflammatory turmeric to soothe any irritation, while your complexion looks brighter and smoother post-use. The best bit? It also works to turn back the clock by firming and smoothing fine lines over time.

E-Rase Milki Micellar Water, £25 | Drunk Elephant
Best For: Enhancing Moisture
After whisking away make-up, dirt and any lingering pollutants, this ultra-nourishing formula goes deeper to purge the skin of impurities and hydrate the delicate skin barrier. Impurity-capturing surfactants and emollients work together with a plant-derived tri-ceramide complex to flood the skin with moisture, in turn balancing and protecting the skin’s barrier to keep your complexion plump, soft and glowing.

Vinoclean Micellar Cleansing Water, £15 | Caudalie
Best For: Natural Ingredients
When it comes to sensitive skin, a gentle and naturally derived formula is guaranteed to keep irritation at bay. Caudalie’s 98% natural origin derived micellar water removes make-up, while its organic grape water-infused formula hydrates and soothes. A fresh and fragrant blend of mandarin tree blossom, lemon leaf, watermelon and fresh mint gives off an indulgent spa-like scent.

Micellar Cleansing Water, £8 (was £10) | CeraVe
Best For: Affordability
SL readers will know how much we rate CeraVe and its range of simple, ‘do-what-they-say’ products. This micellar water is designed to support and strengthen the skin barrier by incorporating three essential ceramides. By encouraging the skin to hold moisture for longer, it enhances the look of a fresher, more hydrated complexion overall.

This easy-to-use spray-bottle micellar water removes make-up but can also be used to freshen up your skin on the go.

Pure Arctic Miracle Micellar Water, £12 | Lumene
Best For: Hydration
Gentle but thorough, this whisks away even the toughest of waterproof mascaras to leave behind a fresher and cleaner-looking face. Meanwhile, Nordic birch sap moisturises and rebalances the skin at a time when it can feel slightly stripped – simply apply to a cotton pad and sweep across the face, eyes and neck to cleanse and refresh.

Micellar Water Facial Cleanser, £5.99 | Garnier
Best For: Cult Favourite Status
There’s a reason this is such a cult product. Probably the most popular micellar water out there, Garnier’s is affordable and gentle, actively encouraging better glow as it cleanses. Plus, it’s multi-purpose – use it as a make-up remover at the end of the day or to just to freshen up skin when it needs a boost. We love using it as a quick morning cleanse, too.
