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. These opposing forces loosen dirt and suspend it in the water which is wiped away on the cotton pad. Micellar cleansers are used without water and are especially suitable for sensitive skin.

How often should I cleanse my face?
We recommend that you cleanse your face in the morning and in the evening. The sebaceous glands in your skin produce sebum – an oily substance that keeps it from drying out – both during the day and overnight. Cleansing in the morning ensures that you remove this sebum. At the end of the day you need to remove sebum, sweat, pollution and any make-up that you may have been wearing. Cleansing your skin also ensures that it’s able to absorb the active ingredients in your care products.
Do I need to use toner after cleansing?
Ideally yes. Eucerin DermatoCLEAN [HYALURON] Toner is a valuable last step in your cleansing routine. It restores your skin to its optimal pH and leaves your skin ready to fully absorb the active ingredients in your care product. And, because it is alcohol-free and contains Hyaluronic Acid, it is gentle on your skin and helps to support skin moisturization.
