B.Pure Micellar Water

With the recent hype surrounding the beloved Bioderma making it's first UK appearance in stores, I thought I'd jump on the micellar water bandwagon and hunt out something a little cheaper, and closer to home. I've used Bioderma in the past and absolutely loved it, but, let's face it, it's kind of pricy.

Recently Superdrug brought out their new skincare and makeup range, 'B.' and I went in to check it out (lured in by the offer of a freebie I must admit!). I love how extensive the collection is, it comprises of a wide range of makeup and skincare products, from eyeshadow, foundation and BB cream to moisturisers, exfoliators, wrinkle fillers and everything in between. The range isn't too expensive either, all makeup is under £11, skincare under £14.

I was delighted to find that the range included a micellar water, and mine was the last on the shelf so no doubt it's going to be popular. For only £4.99 for 150ml you get a lot of product for your pennies, which pleases me greatly!

Superdrug say that it's a 'quick and easy 3-in-1 cleanser that dissolves impurities in a single sweep, no water required'. I couldn't agree more! It's also gentle enough to be suitable for sensitive skin types, and I was over the moon to see that it's cruelty free - the little leaping bunny logo sits in the bottom left hand corner on the back of the bottle. As an added bonus this micellar water is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. While I do not classify myself as either a vegetarian or a vegan I think it's vile when I learn that there are animal derivatives in certain products that I would never have dreamt I'd find them. *shudders*.

Put simply, I adore this micellar water, it's blown my Bioderma out of the window. I apply a few drops to a large oval cotton pad and sweep it all over my face and neck - I'm surprised to see the amount of fluff my face picks up, even when I've just cleansed it! It has no scent or colour which makes it a perfectly universal product, perfect for everyone who likes to add an extra cleansing/toning step in their skincare routine, or, if you're like me, running a little late for work/uni/school in the mornings.

I can definitely see this bottle lasting me a long time, i've been using it every morning for a good week now and you can see that it's hardly been touched! Definitely well worth the money, I can't recommend this enough!

Are you a micellar water fan?

  1. This sounds great. I liked the sound of bioderma but the price tag always put me off. I'm glad there's an alternative! Thank you! :) xx

  2. I've just done a mini review of this and unfortunately I wasn't that impressed! I'm loving some of the other products from the range, though.

  5. I'm so glad you posted about this, I was just thinking about trying Bioderma but was slightly put off by the price and this sounds perfect. As long as it's not sold out in my local not so great Superdrug I will be picking one up soon x

  10. I've only used the Avene Micellar water before and I didn't like it! it was quite sticky and dried my skin out..not sure if I should try a different one or not bother! This looks a good one for the price though :) xx
