Invented by the BIODERMA Laboratory in 1991, micellar water has revolutionized the makeup removal and daily hygiene of the skin. Today, a bottle of Créaline H20 is sold every 3 seconds in the world! The ideal alternative to duo cleansing milk + toner, BIODERMA micellar solutions are based on micelle technology, but their unique components and formulas make them totally unique.

MICELLAR WATER, WHAT'S THE POINT?

The micellar water is capable of removing all traces of makeup,sebum diverse and impurities without stripping or irritating the skin in one step. Perfectly adapted as a gesture of daily hygiene, the micellar water is used morning and evening to make skin cleanly smoothly, in the respect of the most sensitive skin dermis. It is particularly suitable for reactive and intolerant skin for which the simple rubbing of cotton is aggression.

THE MICELLES, WHAT IS IT?

A micelle is a complex structure of mild nonionic surfactants (= washing agents), having the shape of an invisible microsphere.

The micelles have 2 poles, a hydrophilic pole that is soluble in water and a lipophilic pole that catches fat, which is incompatible with water. This double affinity allows them to attract impurities of all kinds and bind them to cotton. They are therefore able to eliminate external residues, from the environment (makeup, impurities related to air pollution...) and impurities related to the natural the functioning of the skin (sebium, sweating, desquamation...).

HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN DIFFERENT MICELLAR WATERS?

Advised by dermatologists, adopted by makeup professionals, the micellar solutions of the BIODERMA Laboratory remain the absolute reference because of they are based on rigorously selected components:

a specific fatty acid ester, the glycerol ester, a biomimetic active, very close to the composition of the skin. This is why BIODERMA micellar waters guarantee such a tolerance, even for sensitive skin.
a highly purified water with the single most secure physiological pH that offers the highest level of chemical and microbiological purity. That's why BIODERMA micellar solutions do not require rinsing.

No alcohol, no paraben, hypoallergenic, they are in perfect affinity with the skin and preserve its hydrolipidic film.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH WATER?

Tap water contains limestone and chlorine that are potentially irritating to the skin. Thermal waters have no cleaning power. Their composition can vary according to the periods, the regions...

WHY MANY MICELLAR WATER FORMULAS?

To offer perfect tolerance and optimal comfort for every type of skin, the BIODERMA Laboratory has designed specific formulas of micellar solutions according to the needs of each type of skin: sensitive, intolerant, oily, skin of babies...

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Micellar water can be used for facial hygiene in the morning before applying care. In the evening at bedtime, it is very important to clean your skin, even if you do not wear makeup, because you must rid the dermis of the many impurities accumulated during the day: pollution residues, dander, perspiration, dust...
