What is Dr. Grandel Micell Cleansing Water?
Micell Cleansing Water is Dr. Grandel’s two-in-one make-up remover and cleanser from its Cleansing series, built around micelle technology. Micelles are tiny cleansing particles formed from plant-based raw materials that trap dirt and make-up through an encapsulation process, then lift them cleanly away from the skin. The aqueous formula works with or without rinsing, which is why Dr. Grandel positions it as an easy, on-the-go option as much as a daily cleansing step.
Key benefits
- Removes make-up and cleanses in one step: a single formula does double duty as make-up remover and cleanser.
- No water required: the micelle technology works with just a cotton pad, making it travel-friendly.
- Gentle enough for the eye area: formulated to also remove eye make-up.
- Deep-down clean feeling: lifts even lipid-containing make-up formulas effectively and gently.
Key ingredients
Micelles (via Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer) are the formula’s core technology: very small, plant-derived cleansing capsules that remove dirt particles, including make-up, without leaving residue. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) supports the skin’s moisture level and has a soothing reputation. Dr. Grandel’s Phyto Detox complex, built from Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, citrus-derived bioflavonoids and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, cleanses and refines the look of pores while adding antioxidant support against environmental stress.
How to use
- Apply to a cotton pad.
- Start by removing make-up from the eye area.
- Continue cleansing the face, neck and décolleté.
- No rinsing is required, though you can follow with your regular toner if you prefer.
For external use only; if the eye area is sensitive, use gently and avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves.
Who it is for
Dr. Grandel formulates Micell Cleansing Water for every skin type, and it’s a particularly convenient option for travel, gym bags or anyone who wants a thorough cleanse without needing a sink.
