Essense Rooibos Micellar Water 240ml


Sale priceR 299

Make-up, sunscreen and daily impurities respond best to gentle cleansing that removes buildup without disrupting your skin. Daily buildup dissolves when micelles, tiny cleansing molecules, attract make-up, excess oil and impurities without stripping your skin. Essense Rooibos Micellar Water helps leave your skin feeling clean, soft and comfortable while preparing it for your evening cleanse.

Essense Rooibos Micellar Water pairs rinse-free micellar technology with Rooibos and AquaVital+ to gently remove make-up, excess oil and impurities while helping maintain skin hydration. It leaves your skin feeling clean, comfortable and refreshed, perfectly prepared for your evening cleanse. The fragrance free, alcohol free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and the delicate eye area.

Part of the Essense range, five decades of Rooibos skin care expertise in a single swipe.

Benefits
  • Removes make-up and impurities without scrubbing or rinsing
  • Hydrates with AquaVital+ as it cleanses, leaving no greasy residue
  • Fragrance free and alcohol free, safe for sensitive eyes and skin
  • Prepares skin so your cleanser works more effectively
Key Ingredients
  • Micelles - tiny cleansing molecules that attract dirt, oil and make-up like magnets, lifting impurities without stripping natural moisture.
  • Rooibos - rich in antioxidants that calms skin, protects against environmental stress and supports long-term resilience.
  • AquaVital+- a deeply moisturising complex that locks hydration into the skin and guards against dehydration throughout the day.
  • Allantoin - soothes irritation, reduces redness and supports the skin's natural healing process while improving overall texture.
  • Glycerin - a humectant that draws moisture into the outer skin layer, strengthens the barrier and relieves dryness without heaviness.
How to use
  1. Soak a cotton pad with Micellar Water and gently sweep over your face, eyes and lips to remove make-up and surface impurities.
  2. Repeat until the cotton pad appears clean.
  3. No need to rinse.
  4. Use in the evening as the first step in your routine.
  5. Follow immediately with your Annique Rooibos cleanser suitable for your skin type for a deeper clean.
