What is micellar water and how does it work?

Micellar water products contain something called micelles, which are very effective at removing oily substances.

These are formed by special molecules known as surfactants.

When a small amount of surfactant is added to water, the two ends of the molecules have competing interests.

The hydrophilic head wants to be in the water, but the hydrophobic tail can't stand water.

Surfactants will remain on your skin after product use, but for many people they don't cause irritation. If your skin is feeling irritated after using a micellar water product, you can try rinsing afterwards or discontinuing use. And as is the case with many cosmetic products, you first d test two first on a small patch of skin before using it all over your face. Provided by The Conversation.
