It’s not up for debate — taking off your makeup at the end of the day feels way more satisfying than putting it on. There’s something deeply gratifying about scrubbing the day off your face. The only problem? When you’re running on fumes, the thought of double cleansing, rinsing and patting dry sounds exhausting. Even busy moms like Emily Ratajkowski get it.
“I haven’t always been great at taking off my makeup,” Ratajkowski told InStyle. “But in the past year, I decided it had to stop. I’m an adult and a mother, so now I always take off my makeup with Bioderma,” adding, “If I’m really tired, I sometimes leave the eye makeup on — it doesn’t seem as bad to me. But I always make sure to take the makeup off my skin.”
The $20 French pharmacy staple she swears by? Bioderma’s Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. It’s been a cult-favorite skincare item for decades, and it’s currently blowing up on Amazon with thousands of glowing reviews. The real hook: you don’t even have to rinse it off. Just soak a cotton pad, swipe it across your face and boom — your skin is clean. No need to hover over the sink or deal with the splash zone at midnight.

Bioderma pretty much invented micellar water, and its formula is still considered the gold standard. The Sensibio H2O version is specifically made for sensitive skin, and it removes dirt, sweat and makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry or tight. It also has a skin-loving pH around 5.5, so it won’t mess with your moisture barrier. And Amazon shoppers are just as obsessed as Ratajkowski.
“This micellar water removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara, without the need for harsh rubbing,” one reviewer wrote. “It leaves my skin feeling clean, hydrated, and calm.”
Another shopper said, “I was hoping this would cleanse well without needing to be rinsed… Wow, this product is not only perfect for that, it actually makes my skin soft and clean. You’d never know I skipped my regular cleanser.”
If your end-of-day routine could use a shortcut that doesn’t feel like cutting corners, Bioderma’s Sensibio H2O is the low-effort luxury your skin has been waiting for.
