What is micellar water?
Micellar Water is a versatile skincare product that gently cleanses and hydrates the skin thanks to micelles, which attract and lift away dirt, oil, and makeup without the need for harsh scrubbing or rinsing. Suitable for all skin types, including normal, oily, dry, and sensitive skin, Micellar Water can simplify and enhance your daily skincare routine.
How does micellar water work?
Micellar Water products use mild surfactants which group together to form clusters of tiny molecules with hydrophilic (has an affinity for water) and lipophilic (has an affinity for oil) segments called micelles. Micelles act like magnets for dirt and oil, making it easy to wipe skin clean without needing to scrub or rinse

What to look for in a micellar water
Each Micellar Water formula is different, and it’s important to choose one that’s right for you. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a micellar water:
1. Choose a micellar water for your skin type.
While Micellar Water is gentle and generally appropriate for all skin types, some formulas cater more to specific skincare needs such as dry or sensitive skin.
2. Choose a micellar water for the benefits of its formula
Micellar Water is an effective makeup remover and gentle facial cleanser, but depending on the formula, it may offer more benefits to you!
Some NIVEA Micellar Water formulas are enriched with nourishing serums for added skincare benefits. NIVEA Skin Recharge Serum Infused Micellar Water, for example, is 5% serum-infused with an amino acid complex, panthenol & squalane to recharge hydration within your skin’s moisture barrier. You can apply this Micellar Water to your skin before bed to help replenish skin’s moisture overnight.
NIVEA Brightening Serum Infused Micellar Water is infused with 5% serum containing a combination of Vitamins C and E and an amino acid complex. This Micellar Water visibly boosts skin’s brightness* for a more radiant-looking complexion while also removing waterproof makeup.

NIVEA Micellar Water product formulas cater to different skin types, ensuring that you can find one that will work best for you.
3. Choose a micellar water for its ingredients
Look for Micellar Water with minimal, gentle ingredients and with formulas that have been dermatologically tested for skin compatibility. You may also want to consider factors like fragrance if you have sensitive skin. NIVEA Gentle Micellar Water Dry and Sensitive Skin contains no perfume and is infused with Almond Oil for softer-feeling skin.
How should I apply micellar water?
Micellar Water is super easy to apply.
1. Simply soak a cotton pad or reusable cleansing pad and gently wipe over your face, closed eyes and lips. Use gentle circular motions to avoid harsh tugging.
2. If you’re using it to remove eye makeup, start with your eyes and then move on to the rest of your face.
3. Once you’ve cleansed your face with micellar water, you can let the product dry, no rinsing required (though you can rinse if you prefer).
4. Then, move on to the next steps in your usual skin care routine using any serums, moisturizers, or other products that you like to use.
