It removes heavy and waterproof makeup with ease. Doesn’t irritate or sting my sensitive eyes (I also wear contacts lenses). Works great with long lasting matte lipsticks!

I’ve been using La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micellar Water for a while now, and it’s one of the best I’ve tried for oily, acne-prone skin. It removes makeup and excess oil without stripping my skin or leaving that tight feeling. ✔️

SPF

I always go for mineral sunscreens instead of chemical ones. They’re gentler on the skin, don’t cause irritation, and protect by physically blocking UV rays. Plus, they work great for sensitive and acne-prone skin, so they’re always my first choice!
