I somehow thought that I was going to finish more products in January, but instead I only managed to use up 4 full-size products. I loved all of them, and would happily use them again! Here is what I finished up in January 2026:
BIODERMA Hydrabio H20 Moisturizing Make-Up Removing Micelle Solution ($5.99- $20.99 for 3.38 oz. to 16.9 oz from Ulta, Target, Amazon and Dermstore): This is a very gentle micellar water that is specifically formulated for dehydrated, sensitive skin. Bioderma suggests that it is, "a cleansing and make-up removing water that respects the fragility of sensitive skin and stimulates moisture." It effortlessly sweeps away makeup, pollutants and dirt without stripping the skin or depleting its moisture levels. It leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and hydrated. I don't often use it in lieu of a cleanser, but on the occasions when I am too tired to do my full nighttime skincare routine, it does a great job thoroughly cleansing my skin. Purchase Again? Oh yes, definitely!
Dove Beauty Bar Original ($5.39-$14.99 for 2-8 bar packs from Amazon, Target, Walgreens): This gentle, creamy cleansing bar contains ¼ moisturizing cream that leaves skin soft smooth and very clean. I have used it for many years, and absolutely love it! Purchase Again? Unquestionably!
Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Shampoo ($56.00 for 300ml / 10 oz from Sephora, Shu Uemura Art of Hair and Amazon): Ultimate Reset Shampoo is a restoration shampoo that is specifically formulated for ultra-damaged hair. It gently cleanses, without stripping the hair or scalp, and without weighing down the hair or leaving it greasy. It rinses clean and leaves hair feeling nourished and hydrated. The shampoo has a pleasant fragrance, but it doesn't linger for very long, and I do not smell it in my hair once it has dried. Purchase Again? Happily, but I will wait for a sale since this is an expensive shampoo!
I have only recently become a convert to micellar water as a makeup remover. The solution was finding the right tool to use it. I just use a microfiber cloth, and it takes it off with just a couple of swipes! Then, I use a second cleanser. I'm really interested in this shampoo. I have fine hair, but my hair stylist says it's a little dry. My problem is with how thin and fine my hair is that many moisturizing conditioners just weigh it down. Do you have that experience?

Hi Marsha, I absolutely LOVE micellar water as a makeup remover, I usually use a cotton pad out cotton ball, but your method is far more sustainable and effective! I will have to try that. My hair is a bit on the finer side, but it is very curly and on the dry side. This shampoo and conditioner do not weigh down my hair, but I have tried some in the past that have.
