8 out of 10 readers awarded this popular micellar water 5 out of 5 stars – here’s why they love it
Peek at the skincare shelves of models, makeup artists, and celebrities (or anyone with flawless skin), and there’s a good chance that you’ll spot a bottle of micellar cleansing water. This skincare staple looks and feels just like regular water, but is able to remove makeup, cleanse, and tone with just a few light swipes of a cotton pad.
However, not all micellar waters are created equal. Different skin types and concerns require different formulations, which is why Japanese beauty brand Bifesta has launched their renewed Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water series in celebration of their 10th Anniversary.
To find out just how effective the makeup removers are, Daily Vanity has invited 10 readers to give us their honest opinions about the products after trying them out for six days. Spoiler alert: the average verdict for the Micellar Cleansing Waters was a 4.8-star rating out of 5!
Before we dive into the reviews, let’s learn a little more about the Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water series.
About Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water
Bifesta is no stranger to micellar waters. In fact, Bifesta was one of the first brands to launch a micellar water product within the Singapore market. Since then, the beauty brand has garnered loyal fans who adore its popular Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes as well.
The Micellar Cleansing Water series features five variants that cater to different skin types and needs:
- Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water Sensitive: Contains skin-conditioning ingredients to soothe and strengthen sensitive skin.
- Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water Moist: Penetrating Hyaluronic Acid and Adsorbent Amino Acids hydrate dry areas for smoother and softer skin.
- Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water Sebum: It is infused with Green Tea Extract, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that reduces the skin’s excess sebum production.
- Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water Brightup: Contains Vitamin C Derivative and Lactic Acid to gently slough off dead skin cells and blackheads for brighter skin.
- Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water Acne Care: Skin-conditioning and antibacterial ingredients calm redness and fight acne.
Of course, just like the other makeup removers in its range, the Bifesta Micellar Cleansing Water series removes makeup in mere seconds. Even better, the series boasts an improved formula that includes a new blend of Pullulan and Penetrating Hyaluronic Acid, which does an exceptional job at removing makeup with less friction while keeping the skin hydrated.
Besides removing makeup, the formula is also able to wipe away dust, pollen, PM2.5 pollution particles, and dirt. When used regularly, you’ll notice clearer, smoother skin over time.
What’s more, the products in the series come in a pump bottle, which makes it extra convenient to dispense and use anytime, anywhere. To top it off, the bottles have also been given an upgrade in size, bumping the original 300ml volume to 400ml!
These formulas do not contain any fragrance, colourants, oils, drying alcohols, and parabens, so they’re safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Since we’re all wearing masks regularly, it can even help to reduce our chances of getting maskne (mask-induced acne).
