This review is for the Simple Cleansing Micellar Water sold in Canada in the 198ml bottle. It gets the job done except on waterproof eyeliner/mascara. Stings eyes terribly!! Has a fresh, light smell. Broke me out after using on face, neck and chest to remove sunscreen. Area on each side of my nose where my pores are largest was bumpy with clogged pores, and everything cleared up after I stopped using this. I did not start or stop use of any other product while I was using this.
The lid is great, very easy to get the amount of product you want and doesn't spill/ leak down the sides or make a mess like the Nivea 3-in-1 Micellar Water did. I would NOT recommend this to anyone with acne-prone skin or for removing eye makeup.
The Simple is a micellar cleansing water whose formula really surprised me when it came to its high concentration of moisturizing ingredients and antioxidants, especially because it is so affordable and widely available, at least here in the U.S.- See more at: http://nonsonoquitter.blogspot.com/2015/08/cleansing-wardrobe-innisfree-cosrx.html#sthash.ldm9wrrL.dpuf
