WHAT IS MICELLAR TECHNOLOGY?
Research
on Micellar Technology can be traced as far back as 1913 at the University of
Bristol in England. Micellar Water was then created to help the French deal
with their infamously harsh water supply. Micellar technology has since undergone
refinements and advances until it became mainstream in high-end brands.

Micellar
water is made up of “micelles,” which are invisible oil molecules suspended in
water. When surfactants are dispersed in water, they form micelles. In water,
micelles give surfactants their cleansing properties. The micelles then cling
on to the dirt, residue, oils, and all unwanted particles on your skin and
dissolve them while leaving behind a dewy, hydrated finish.

as a bottle is good for 100 uses. Also,
micellar toner attracts and absorbs dirt and oil as compared to just regular
face wipes that merely smears dirt around your face.
