WHAT ARE MICELLES?

Micelles are microscopically small congregated molecules that are both ‘water-loving’ (hydrophilic) and ‘fat-loving’ (lipophilic). As a result, they can remove water-soluble as well as fat-soluble dirt.

Micelles envelop lipophilic dirt particles within their lipophilic centre, so that they can be easily removed without the need to rub or cause irritation.

Like a magnet, the outer hydrophilic part sticks to the hydrophilic cotton pad used with the micellar water.

This natural phenomenon is used to remove make-up easily and quickly, while caring for the skin and eyelashes.

WHAT IS MICELLAR WATER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

NIVEA Caring Micellar Water cleanses and tones by a simple swipe with a cotton pad.

In scientific terms, the ‘fat-loving’ centre of the micelle attracts and binds oil-like dirt particles.

THE KINDEST WAY TO CLEANSE

Micellar water is a kind and gentle way to cleanse the skin and remove make-up. Furthermore it is caring and also mild enough to use on the delicate eye area.

The formula effectively targets dirt and grime without smudging or requiring rubbing or rinsing.

All you need is a cotton pad and your NIVEA micellar water.
