Product Details

Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, this gentle micellar water effectively removes stubborn makeup, sunscreen and impurities without rinsing while maintaining the skin’s natural pH.

Key Benefits

  • Removes Waterproof Makeup / Helps lift away waterproof makeup, sunscreen and impurities without scrubbing
  • Supports Gentle Cleansing / Removes buildup without harsh rubbing.
  • No-Rinse Cleansing / Refreshes and cleans without water
  • Gentle, Sensitive-Skin Focused Formulas / Designed to cleanse without irritation.
  • Dermatologist Developed / Targeted care backed by clinical expertise.

Key ingredients

  • Micelles
    These dual-ended molecules are attracted to water on one end (the hydrophilic "head"), while the other end is attracted to the grease, oils, and makeup on your face (the surfactant "tail"). When applying micellar water to a cotton pad or a microfibre cloth, the hydrophilic head is attracted to the hydrophilic fibres of the cloth or cotton. This leaves the surfactant side sticking up, ready to attract any oils, dirt, and makeup.

 

DIRECTIONS & PRODUCT GUIDE

 

FAQ

 

Micellar Water Makeup Remover FAQ

Does it remove waterproof mascara and eyeliner?

Yes, with the right technique. Soak a cotton pad, hold it gently over your closed eye for a few seconds so it can dissolve the mascara, then wipe downward without scrubbing. Repeat with a fresh pad if needed, then follow with your cleanser.

Do I need it if I use a Riversol cleanser?

Not every day. If you wear little or no makeup, your Riversol cleanser is enough on its own. On days with waterproof or heavy makeup, use Micellar Water first to dissolve it, then cleanse; our cleanser directions suggest the same.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. It lifts away makeup, sunscreen and impurities without scrubbing or rinsing, while respecting your skin's natural pH. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is it gentle enough for the eye area?

Yes, used over closed eyes. It lifts away mascara and eyeliner without scrubbing, so there's no tugging at the delicate skin around your eyes, and it's formulated without added fragrance. Keep your eyes closed while you wipe, then follow with your cleanser.

Do I rinse it off or cleanse afterwards?

No rinsing is needed: it's a no-rinse micellar water. Use it first to wipe away makeup and sunscreen, then wash with your Riversol cleanser, as the directions suggest, before your serum and moisturizer.

How much do I use, and on a pad or cloth?

Use enough to soak a cotton pad or the Microfibre Makeup Removal Facecloth, so it's wet but not dripping. Wipe gently without scrubbing, and switch to a fresh pad when it looks dirty. More product won't give you better results, and too much can pill or feel heavy.

How long will one bottle last?

About 4 months of daily use. The 240 mL bottle holds enough to soak a cotton pad or the facecloth each time, and the 60 mL size lasts about 1 month. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

Our skincare products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.
