Micellar Water | B. vs L'OREAL

Micellar water is becoming the latest craze in the beauty world after Bioderma becoming a cult product for many beauty bloggers. This miracle "super water" cleanser is water based and removes make up very quickly and easily meaning there is no need to rub on your delicate eye area and it also cleanses and tones all in one step. Whilst I haven't actually tried Bioderma due to the price of postage I have discovered a few drugstore brands releasing their own versions for a much nicer price!

I first picked up the B. micellar water available from superdrug (£4.99 for 150ml, however is £3.32 at the moment). This does remove make up fairly quickly but it does need more than 1 swipe. However, whilst this is very gentle on my face, it does hurt my eye area a little, especially if you get just a small drop in your eye and for this reason when I remove my eye make up I have a spare dry cotton pad to wipe off the product straight away so it doesn't get in to my eye.


I decided after trying this one I wanted to try the L'OREAL version as I had heard rave reviews on it, and I hadn't seen anyone saying about stinging in the eye area. I found it in my local Tesco for £4.99 and it's currently buy one get one free, so I have a back up now too! Though I have only used this a few times I already much prefer it to the B. one as it does not hurt my eyes at all and I think removes make up quicker and easier than the B. micellar water. And for these reasons I would recommend the L'OREAL one :) and if you're going to buy it now definitely head down to your local tescos! :)

Have you tried Bioderma? Or any of the drugstore versions? Which is your favourite?
