Gentle but thorough

I've been using the Avène Make-Up Removing Micellar Gel for a year now and I'm really happy with it. I don't need cotton pads for it. It's a gel so I just apply it with my hands. Very practical, don't waste anything on cotton pads. Sometimes I even use it while sitting on the couch and watching TV. It doesn't sting my eyes at all (sometimes with my lenses in). I use it as the first step in my cleansing, then I follow with Avène's cleansing gel. That combination just works well for my skin. This micellar gel removes my makeup very well, even persistent 24-hour lipstick and mascara come off effortlessly, without leaving my skin feeling dry or tight. My skin responds really well to it too — fewer blemishes, pores are smaller and my face feels clean but not dehydrated. It's gentle on the skin, yet thorough. I've really noticed the difference since using these two together.
