Hello Everyone!
Today’s review is about Balea Micellar Water for combination and sensitive skin without perfume and alcohol. I find micellar water to be very effective and mild to skin while removing makeup. I use micellar water everyday to remove makeup, especially eye makeup.
Product Description:
The Balea micellar cleansing water for combination and sensitive skin combines three products in just one step: cleansing, make-up remover and toner! The formulation with micelles gently removes make-up and excess sebum. Clarifies, nourishes and protects the skin from drying out. No rubbing and no rinsing with water necessary. With panthenol, glycerine and witch hazel water. Fragrance-free and alcohol free.

Aqua, Methylpropanediol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Panthenol, Alcohol, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Water, Sodium Salicylate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA
My Experience with Balea Micellar Water for Combination and Sensitive Skin:
The packaging is a plastic bottle with a flap lid. The packaging is made of plastic and is transparent. It’s easy to see the amount of product still available for use. The flap lid is easy to open and close and it is sturdy too. It does not leak and is safe to travel with. But, the bottle comes in 400 ml size and hence, it will be quite bulky to carry around. I would have preferred a smaller bottle for travel purposes. I would not travel with it as its quite bulky.
The product is fragrance free, but you can smell a little bit of the ingredients and it is not very strong or bothersome.
The consistency is just like that of water. It smells slightly of antibacterial hand sprays available in hospitals. Yes, that is one thing I didn’t like. But, I can live with it. The fragrance is noticeable only when you consciously smell the product. If not, it is hardly noticeable.
I use a cotton pad and squeeze the product till the pad is wet and then wipe with it all over my face. I dab the pad on both my eyes for a few seconds, so that the makeup gets softer, especially the mascara and eyeliner. Then, I wipe it off the makeup with the same pad. The eye makeup is almost completely gone. But, the liner in between the eyelashes takes a few extra wipes. The foundation and other makeup gets wiped off very easily. I also use a makeup wipe after that, but that it will be almost stain free even after wiping all the corners. It shows that the micellar water is very effective in removing makeup.
The product is alcohol free and perfume free and hence it does not cause dryness after use. I have used it on my breakouts and it does not burn at all. I find it very mild and suitable for acne-prone skin or sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin and have had no problems using it.
My skin feels very soft and smooth after use. This product did not cause any redness or irritation on my sensitive skin. Overall, I like using it for everyday makeup removal as it’s so gentle on the skin. I love using it!
