Skincare/LRP Micellar Water Products

Can anyone clear up my confusion please?!

I have (mostly well managed) Rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. I use:-

LRP Toleraine Cleanser (love)
LRP Redermic (couple of times a week at night, love)
Eucerin Hyaluron Filler (daily, love)
REN Evercalm Anti-Redness Solution (day and night, love)
LRP Make-Up Remover Micellar Water Gel (not keen, too gloopy)
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant Toner (use once a week although I probably shouldn't. I think it's too harsh. But it was expensive!).

I don't wear make up every day. I think I want something that's not a full on cleanser for those days (an LRP Micellar water product, but there seem to be a few and I'm confused plus don't like the one I already have). There's also an exfoliating one I think, which is interesting and may be worth a try.

Can someone please advise?! Thank you.

Micellar water is just slightly soapy water. Waste of money. Just use soap and water.

I have sensitive skin and like the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser.

Thanks for the reply. Soap is too drying for my skin. I tried the hot cloth cleanser. It was okay, but the heat is a rosacea trigger so I stopped using it.

Ok my skin is hyper sensitive and I actually quite like the simple micellar water for those days you describe. My skin hates all of the simple range but the micellar water is the exception.

I have sensitive skin prone to redness and I find the Boots No7 pink cleanser v gentle and L'Oreal Micellar water afterwards v good. No redness or stinging and both v gentle. I can't use hot cleansing methods either.

Yy to the L'Oreal micellar water - removes make up and is very gentle. This is the best one I've tried including the LRP ones. My skin is sensitive and I don't get on with the hot cloth cleansers either!

Bioderma micellar water is the original and best selling version.

I have just discovered Avene micellar water and find it incredibly gentle. I probably prefer it to Bioderma.
