I am already on my third bottle of this, it is a lovely product and it does not make claims to which it doesn't stand up. Vichy’s micellar oil is something in-between a cleansing oil and a micellar water. It needs to be rinsed off and not a wiped off as with the classic micellar water. The oil emulsifies when it comes into contact with water, but not so much so that it disappears.

I love using this as a pre-cleanse / the first step in a double cleansing routine. It removes makeup brilliantly and even waterproof mascara melts away in its presence. My skin is left soft and smooth and without any residue. The smell is soft and fresh, not strong or overwhelming at all.

I use three to four pumps of product, depending on how much makeup I still have on. I warm it in my hands and then rub it into my face. It doesn’t seem to work as well if my face or my hands are wet beforehand, so I start off with dry {clean} hands and a dry face.
