There are three reasons I decided to purchase Simple Micellar Water:
1. @IngridNilsen raved about it and we have similar skin types. I also end up loving her recommendations.
2. I recently discovered my love for Bioderma. I no longer have to go to the sink on lazy days.
3. I had a $2.00 off coupon from a magazine.
SOLD!
Boy, am I happy that I have this in my life! It is easily available and convenient to get from drugstores and grocery stores. It’s inexpensive ($6.99 but varies by location) And it does not irritate my skin. I have stopped using Bioderma in order to completely test this out. All you need is a cotton pad, soak it with the product, and apply all over your face and neck. It gently cleanses my skin and can remove makeup as well. I trust this product more for cleansing my skin rather than a makeup remover. If you wanted to remove your makeup with it, you would need more than one cotton pad for sure. Overall, I’m glad that drugstores are coming out with great skincare products that work well for sensitive skin.
Have you tried Simple Micellar Water or Bioderma? What do you think?

I have tried neither and my sephora and caudalie are gone so, I may just get it.

I really did not like the sephora one. I really liked caudalie.

Sounds nice! I don’t think we have that brand here in Canada. I was thinking of picking up the Yves Rocher version.
LikeLike
OH really?! It’s a brand that is good for sensitive skin and has “simple” ingredients.

PBI: yes, we have this brand in Canada! It launched here maybe a couple of years ago. You can find it at Shoppers. 😀 I have yet to try anything from this brand and micellar water just might be my first foray into the brand.

I just started on a new micellar water from a Canadian brand called Reversa and it’s quite awesome – I’m surprised at myself how much I love it. It’s a bit pricey though.

The ingredient list is even shorter than the Simple one! Although, I do have to say that I like the inclusion of niacinamide in the Simple micellar water – that helps to fade dark spots.
I’d say Bioderma is my 4th favourite micellar water after: Yves Rocher, then this new Reversa, then the Caudalie one.

Oh! You’re the second one to mention the Caudalie. It will go on my wishlist!

It’s really lovely. Too bad it’s so pricey. Sephora sells a smaller / travel size, you can get that to try it out first.

I am currently using the garnier micellar water, have you tried that yet – would you say the simple one is better? p.s does it irritate your eyes at all?

It doesn’t irritate my eyes at all. And I have not tried the Garnier Micellar Water. Do you like it?

Yeah I really like it, it does not take my waterproof mascara off but I like to remove that with vaseline. I bought myself 4 bottles as I like it so much! x

I have loved everything I’ve tried in the past from Simple and I had no idea they even made this product! I’ve always been super curious about Bioderma, but may try this first when I’m in the market for a new cleanser/makeup remover! Great review, Joy!

Thank you, Laurel! I have tried their cleanser before and thought it was just okay. But with this great micellar water, it makes me want to try their other products to see if I’m missing out on anything. Maybe when I need a new moisturizer, I’ll try simple!

OMG I love Ingrid!!! I’ve been following her for years I feel like I know her lol!
I haven’t tried that one but I do like Bioderma so the next time I need a makeup remover I will definitely give this a go! I just got a new bottle of MAC Cleanse Off Oil so it’ll be awhile haha

I’ve been eyeing this for a while now..and my daily cleanser is nearly finished so may try it out. Do you still use a regular cleanser?
LikeLike
Ooh you should try it! I must have a regular cleanser at all times. It’s just how my skin is. I use this usually at night when I am too lazy to go to the sink and use water. Lol I have used it in the morning just to try it and it worked well.

Hi Joy! I’ve never tried micellar water since I was doubting if it can really remove makeup enough… but I think I’m finally going to try!
LikeLike
Awesome. It can! It’s good for nights when you are too tired/lazy to go to the sink to use water to wash your face. I’ve used it to remove eye makeup, face makeup and just as a cleanser. It all works surprisingly well.

I have this but only use it to remove any makeup remnants around my hairline usually. It doesn’t remove waterproof mascara and I need to use like 4 cotton pads before I feel like everything is fully removed. I still want to try Bioderma though.

Then you’d probably like bioderma! I hear that is awesome at removing waterproof but I wouldn’t know because I never wear waterproof mascara or regular mascara on a daily basis.

I bought this over a month ago and am still on the fence about it. For me, it’s not the best for removing all makeup, but I do use it to refresh my face during the day if necessary. I also sometimes use it after cleansing with face wash, kind of like a toner.

I just use this by itself and it works fine for me. I don’t wear waterproof mascara or anything like that.

Im a sucker for micellar water! I’ve tried bioderma and uriage but a cheaper alternative like simple would be good since I’m running out!
Definitely will give it a go since I’m currently using their toner!
