Unimpressed with this micellar water malarkey

[MrsBertMacklin]

I've seen this being touted on various beauty blogs as the new development in cleansing for sensitive skin since the most famous one, Bioderma Crealine, became available in the UK, so I thought I'd buy and try.

I bought La Roche Posay's version: 200ml for about £11. It's lasted me 2 weeks, because I've had to use about 5 cotton pads saturated in the stuff to properly clean my face. I wear CC cream, mascara, blusher and powder as my 'daily face', so not that much makeup to remove.

And in spite of the last pad I use appearing clean, I'm waking up with smudged eyemakeup.

I might buy a cheaper version of this for nights away from home, where hot cloth cleansing, my normal method, isn't convenient, but on the whole, not for me.

Has anyone else tried any of these products? Same experience or do you like it?

I use Bioderma and I like it, I wear EL double wear and full makeup every day and it takes 2 cotton pads to remove everything, including eye makeup.

I tried the L'Oreal Micellar water and it was no where near as good and left my face sticky and didn't remove everything, there was still make up coming off when I used my clarisonic and that never happened with Bioderma.

I'm halfway through a bottle of bioderma and not that impressed either. I prefer make up removal wipes much more.
