We Need to Talk About This 100% Pure Rose Micellar Water

Let’s talk about a new skincare crush of mine: the 100% Pure Rose Micellar Cleansing Water. This pink beauty has become my go-to for quick evening makeup removal—and let’s be honest, sometimes even early afternoon. Because the minute I get home, off goes the makeup! I don’t want to stamp a full face onto my cat’s fur, after all. But let’s take it from the top…

Packaging for Advanced Users Only

My first encounter with the bottle was… humbling. Picture this: me, standing in the bathroom, squinting at the cap like Jacquouille la Fripouille from The Visitors, trying to operate what clearly looked like a dispenser. Except it wasn’t.

The bottle had a protective plug to prevent spillage during shipping, which totally makes sense. What didn’t make sense (at least not immediately) was that this plug looked exactly like a push-down dispenser. I tilted, poked, twisted—nothing. I even looked around for a hidden camera. After a solid three minutes of feeling outwitted by a piece of plastic, I finally took a knife and popped the darn thing out.

So, a heads-up: if you get this micellar water, bring a knife. You’ll thank me later. It’s like that twisty deodorant moment with Biorythme all over again—you know, the one you have to turn the wrong way.

The Kind of Ingredient List That Makes You Weak in the Knees

What makes this micellar water special, according to the brand? It’s all about the clean, high-quality ingredients.

No sulfates, no synthetic perfumes, no aggressive cleansing agents, and no preservatives. Plus, it’s Leaping Bunny certified, meaning neither the formula nor any individual ingredient was tested on animals.

Star ingredients include soothing mallow extract, calming rose water, cornflower extract, natural glycerin, lemon, and antioxidant-rich resveratrol from grapes.

Full INCI list: Aqua, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Water, Glycerin, Centaurea Cyanus (Cornflower) Flower Water, Benzyl Alcohol, Decyl Glucoside, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Leaf Extract, Dehydroacetic Acid, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate.

Roses and Soap Bubbles

The scent? Think soft rose soap. Subtle, clean, barely noticeable. It doesn’t linger on the skin after cleansing, which I actually love—it doesn’t compete with anything else you might apply.

The Results? Absolutely Glorious

This micellar water removes makeup like a dream. No tightness, no dryness, no sticky residue—just clean, fresh skin.

It takes off even stubborn eye makeup (mascara, eyeliner, shadows) without rubbing or reapplying. Just press a soaked cotton pad onto your eye for two seconds, gently wipe, and voilà.

The best part? If you have sensitive eyes, you’ll love this. No stinging, no burning, no blurry vision (unlike most oil-based removers, which blur my eyesight 9 out of 10 times—though that might be user error, I admit).

I’m Rationing It Like Liquid Gold

Do I use it to remove my whole face of makeup or BB cream? Rarely. Not because it can’t handle it—oh, it can. In fact, it’ll find dirt you didn’t even know existed.

But here’s the issue: it’s too good. You keep wiping, and the pads never come up completely clean. You’ll be there forever. So to save product (and my sanity), I use a gel, cream, or natural soap in the shower, and then go in with the micellar water for a final sweep if needed.

This is also how I treat the Ginkgo Micellar Water by Ere Perez—sparingly, and mostly for eyes. These two are simply unbeatable in that category.

What to Do After Micellar Water

Post-cleansing, you’ve got two options:

1. Rinse your face with water and follow up with toner or floral water (my go-to).
2. Skip the rinse and move straight to your regular routine.

I personally prefer a quick rinse under the tap.

Final Thoughts After a Month of Use

I’ve been using this micellar water daily for a month now. I’m about a third through the bottle.

No irritation, no dryness, no breakouts. Just gentle, effective cleansing every single time. It works beautifully, feels luxurious, and I honestly can’t think of a single thing to criticize. I’m absolutely thrilled with it.
