    Good, not great

    Definitely a good micellar water, better than others I have used but I wouldn't say it is amazing. No burning around the eyes which is a major plus. There is a film left on the skin until washed off.

    I was excited to be selected to test and review La Roche Posay Micellar Water Ultra, cleansing, make-up removing, anti-tightness and anti-redness, as I have used several La Roche Posay products over the years and have known them to be fantastic products that are not only worth the money, but live up to expectations. Unfortunately, this was not the case with this item.

    I first tried the micellar water to simply clean my face in the morning and found that it left my face sticky. I waited about 10 minutes to see if the stickiness was just from it being damp, but in the end I had to re-wash my face with another product to cleans it from my skin as it was still sticky.

    I tried it a couple more times, wanting to give it a genuine try before reviewing to see if there was any way it would work with my skin. I tried it with liquid foundation makeup, cream-to-powder foundation makeup, and powder foundation. I also tried it with both regular and waterproof eyeliners, and eyeliners in gel, liquid, and regular pencil form. I found it took several wipes to remove all of the eyeliners, and regardless of foundation type, my face remained sticky!

    I have not had this reaction to any other Micellar waters I've tried, so am not sure specifically why my skin reacted this way.

    However, I chose to give the product 3 stars because although the product didn't work for me in the least, it works great for my mom! She absolutely loves it and has made it her primary makeup remover since I received it. My mom is 67, but doesn't look it, and has skin similar to my own. This making it more confusing as to why it works brilliantly for her yet not for me.

    Because it's a La Roche Posay product, I think it's worth trying out. Their products have never met me down before this so, on the name alone I think it's worth a shot. Besides that, given the experiences between myself and my mom, having similar skin types, it's worth a shot. It may leave you sticky, or you may absolutely love it. The company stands behind their products, or you can purchase it at a store that will allow you to return it in case it doesn't work for you. That way, you have nothing to lose. Nothing to lose, but the chance of a major win. Worth a shot!

    La Roche-Posay Micellar Water for Dry/Reactive skin is gentle enough to use every day. It quickly and easily removed all of my makeup and dirt from my skin.

    I was so excited when I was chosen to receive this la Roche posay micellar water. Maybe I am using it wrong, but when I tried to remove my eye makeup it struggled. I had to swipe multiple times to get rid of the eyeliner, and it just transferred it to the bottom lid. For the price, I wouldn't purchase. Wouldn't reccomend as a makeup remover. BUT it did make my skin feel relatively softer when using it after a shower, less dry patches.

    I didn't find it particularly useful. I'll stick with a basic cleanser and moisturizer. I am unlikely to purchase it again in the near future. Fun to try though.

    I was very disappointed in La Roche-Posay Micellar water. It was not effective at allo for removing the very little make-up I normally wear (mascara and face powder), and left my skin feeling sticky and unclean.

    I got this free from ChickAdvisor and I wish I had better things to say about it. I will say it worked better for me as a cleansing agent than a makeup remover. I don't even wear a whole lot of makeup and it failed to remove it all with one large cotton pad, I had to use 2. This isn't necessarily a big deal, but I have used other products that remove my makeup quicker and more effectively without having to go back for a second round of cleaning.

    I do have dry and reactive skin and the first time I used it, I could feel a slight sting which I didn't think would happen and my face did get slightly red. It did only happen the first couple times, however it's supposed to be anti-redness/reactive.

    I would unfortunately not purchase this product or recommend something with a bit higher of a price tag then other Micellar waters to anyone else. This was not the right product for me.

    I've been using micellar water for years and was excited to receive this for review, however, I found it lackluster compared to the brand I use normally. The first day I used it I was wearing a long wearing mascara and instead of removing anything, it just spread the mascara and rest of my makeup over my face. I had to use a makeup remover to get rid of all the product. I don't have this issue with my regular micellar water and this particular mascara, fyi. The second day I wore a lighter mascara and while it didn't spread it over my face, it also didn't remove it completely. This time I just used my regular micellar water to remove everything. On the third day I wore very light/natural makeup and while it worked fine on removing my foundation and concealer, I still had issues with it removing anything with black pigment (eyeliner and mascara).

    There are a number of things I like from La Roche-Posay and will continue to buy and use, however, this micellar water will probably not be one of those products. It didn't feel as if it made much of a difference to my skin overall, and while it works well if you wear light foundation, you may need a better quality micellar water for wearing anything heavier. This might work well for anyone who doesn't really wear makeup or for days where you're going makeup free.

    Disclaimer: I received this product free from ChickAdvisor for testing purposes.

    I was really excited to to test this product. I struggle to find a product that will remove all traces of eye makeup while being gentle. Unfortunately this product did not live up to expectations. This product removes most but not all makeup - about the same as cheaper micellar waters I have used. While the product is designed for reactive skin, it unfortunately caused a reaction for me. Immediately after use, my eyes got puffy and began to itch. After about 10 minutes my eyes watered uncontrollably. Due to this, I had to discontinue using this product after three uses and cannot recommend it.

    La Roche-Posay Micellar Water was interesting to try, but I wasn't very impressed.
    I received this product for free to review and was very excited to try it. I liked the packaging: clean and simple. Unfortunately, the directions were so small (and hard to locate), it was difficult to read. You dampen a cotton ball with the water and wipe your face, no need to rinse! My face didn't feel particularly clean afterwards and I still felt like I needed to wash it. I wear a normal amount of makeup, but it took at least 3 cotton balls soaked with this product before it swiped clean.
    The concept is nice, and my face did feel soft after using it, but I don't think I will buy it. I will only use it on nights when I'm too lazy to wash my face but still want to get rid of my makeup.
