Most Helpful Positive Review Great Product!! I was so excited to received this Effaclar Micellar Water by La Roche Possay, It did a great job, this is one of the best micellar water that I have ever tried, it cleaned so we'll on my skin, super easy to get rid my make up, the scent is soft, not too chemically, I used to wash my face with the foam after I cleaned my face with micellar water, because it was still leave the make up residue on my skin, but with this product, you don't need to wash your face after you used it, because it perform so great. I really recommend this product.
Most Helpful Critical Review Effective, but at a cost The Effaclar Micellar Water for Oily Skin is probably one of the most effective micellar waters I've ever used when it comes to removing my eye makeup. I used my usual trick of wetting a cotton pad and holding it over an eye for a few seconds before wiping and it came off more quickly and with less effort than my go-to product. Additionally, it didn't leave a weird feeling afterwards like a lot of micellar waters do. To that end, it really does work!
However, there was a cost to this effectiveness for me: my eyes unfortunately stung afterwards which put a massive damper on my excitement. The product is advertised as supposedly being gentle on eyes, so it may be my eyes are simply overly sensitive, which is definitely possible, but alas, it mean my experience wasn't as positive as it could have been.
On top of that, this product has a strong fragrance. I am fortunately someone who does not use micellar water as a one-and-done product, and I follow up with a double cleanse, so the fragrance didn't last long on my skin, but I am personally of the opinion that skincare products do not need added fragrance. It's just another potential irritant for no real benefit. It's one thing if it's a light fragrance being rinsed off, or something that's part of the product's ingredients, but this is your typical "parfum" fragrance in the ingredients list. If I weren't washing my face afterwards, it definitely would linger and bother me for a while, so if you're someone who is sensitive to scent, bear this in mind.
Overall, it's a good performing product, as long as you don't have sensitive eyes and you don't mind feeling like you're wiping your face with perfume.

Effaclar Micellar Water 4
Mnicole from Ohio
I really do enjoy using this micellar water from La Roche-Posay. I enjoy several other products from the brand so I knew this one would good. This works well taking my makeup off as the first step of my double cleanse. Or on mornings I don't feel I need to wash my face, I will use this to quickly go over and make sure my face is clean before applying my skincare and makeup. The only negative thing that I don't like about this micellar water is it somewhat leaves a oily/greasy residue feeling on the skin. I get rid of this feeling after I wash my face or after I go in with my toner. Overall I would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a good micellar water. 😊
Favorite micellar water toner 5
NorthernSkinGuide from Maine
A beautiful product and a very economical buy. I use this as my toner after a double cleanse. It is soothing, refreshing, and does not burn or "pull-tight" like other toners. Skin feels instantly hydrated and ready to take product. The scent is subtle and gorgeous. Gentle enough as to not waste both cotton and money with application pads, simply drop into clean hands and smooth onto face and neck.

Just Okay 3
RubyZap from Huntington Park
I received this as a free sample to use and review. I used it every night and it worked as good as any other micellar water. I didn't see any different to my skin, didn't really change how oily my skin is. It has a nice clean fresh smell and doesn't sting. I would finish the bottle but probably wouldn't repurchase it.

Love the Micellar water for removing make up and cleansing skin. It's soothing and soft. It doesn't overdry or affect even sensitive skin. This water is formulated for oily skin so helps with overproduction of oil and makes skin soft and clear. This is a great addition to any skincare routine and will definitely stay in mine! I love how easy it is to apply with the bottle and is from a brand I love and trust.
As good as the garnier 5
Danydee from Savannah GA
I've been using the garnier micellar water to remove my makeup for years now, it's definitely my most trusted makeup remover. This effaclar water is just as good for removing make up & its gentle on your skins I also loved that it's scent free.

Little brothers wedding 5
MJ10 from Greeley
This last weekend I received my Effaclar Micellar Water for Oily Skin, and it was the perfect time being as it was my brothers wedding. After the wedding I was able to let the brides maids and my mom try this. They all loved it and were raving. Needless to say they will most likely be buying it. It didn't dry me out either which as great.

I received this product for free for a review. This really cleanses my skin, and takes away all traces of makeup. It doesn't dry out my skin and leaves it feeling very soft. I used this in the morning when I couldn't get a shower. It took care of all the sebum, dirt and traces of mascara. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
