What does Micellar mean?
Micelles are microscopic, spherical aggregates of surfactant molecules. Each surfactant molecule has a hydrophilic (water-loving) head that is attracted to water molecules and a hydrophobic (water-hating) tail that repels water and simultaneously attaches itself to the oil and grease in dirt or eye make-up. These opposing forces loosen dirt and eye make-up and suspend it in the water which is wiped away on the cotton pad. Micellar cleansers are highly effective, do not require water and are especially suitable for sensitive skin.
Can I not just use my cleanser to remove my eye make-up?
Several of our cleansers are clinically and dermatologically proven to remove eye make-up, including waterproof eye make-up, but we always recommend using Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Eye Make-Up Remover to remove resistant waterproof mascara and/or to effectively remove all traces of other waterproof eye make-up, some of which are not visible. The product has been specially formulated to pH7.4, the optimum pH for the eye area, and has been ophthalmologically tested so is proven to be safe for your eyes
Why does the eye make-up remover have two different layers?
Our eye make-up remover is what’s known as dual-phase or bi-phase. The bottom, clear layer has a water base and removes make-up that is water soluble. The top, blue layer has a non-greasy oil base and gets to work on water-resistant make up including waterproof mascara.
