Medik8 Micellar Mousse – The whipped, cloud-like cleanser that delivers micellar power without the cotton pads.

Love micellar water but hate the waste? This bestselling formula takes everything you love about micellar cleansing – the effortless makeup removal, the gentle purification – and delivers it in a luxurious mousse texture you massage directly onto skin and rinse away. No disposable cotton pads required.

The secret is in the olive oil-infused micelles: tiny cleansing spheres with a nourishing olive oil core that grab onto makeup, sunscreen, dirt and pollution particles, then rinse clean away. Meanwhile, moringa extract acts as an anti-pollution magnet, drawing environmental impurities away from the skin so they can be easily washed off. The result? Skin that's thoroughly cleansed yet never stripped – soft, balanced and beautifully comfortable. If you've been searching for the best gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, daily makeup removal, or a sustainable micellar alternative, this is it.

FAQS

What makes Medik8 Micellar Mousse different from regular micellar water? +

Traditional micellar waters require cotton pads to lift away makeup and impurities. Micellar Mousse delivers the same gentle cleansing power in a rinse-off mousse format – no cotton pads needed.

The whipped texture also means you get a more luxurious, spa-like experience, and the olive oil-infused micelles provide extra nourishment that water-based formulas can't match. Plus, rinsing ensures no surfactant residue is left on your skin.

Is this the best gentle cleanser for sensitive skin? +

Micellar Mousse is specifically formulated to be ultra-gentle yet effective for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin. The formula is:

pH-balanced to respect your skin barrier
Sulphate-free – no harsh stripping agents
Alcohol-free – no drying irritants
Free from artificial fragrance

Users with sensitive skin consistently report that it cleanses thoroughly without causing tightness, irritation or dryness.

Can I use this to remove waterproof makeup? +

Micellar Mousse effectively removes light to medium makeup, including most foundations, SPF and everyday makeup. For heavy, long-wear or waterproof makeup (especially eye makeup), Medik8 recommends:

Removing stubborn eye makeup with a dedicated remover first
Or using Micellar Mousse as the second step in a double cleanse, after Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil

Do I need to double cleanse with this product? +

For a quick morning cleanse or if you wear minimal makeup, Micellar Mousse works brilliantly on its own.

For evening cleansing – especially after wearing SPF, foundation or heavier makeup – double cleansing is recommended:

First cleanse: Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil (dissolves makeup and SPF)
Second cleanse: Micellar Mousse (purifies and refreshes)

This ensures skin is perfectly clean and prepped for your serums and treatments.

Will this cleanser dry out my skin? +

No. Unlike many foaming cleansers, Micellar Mousse is formulated with olive oil and glycerin to maintain hydration while cleansing. Users consistently report that skin feels soft, comfortable and hydrated after use – never tight or stripped.

It's an excellent choice for those who've experienced dryness with other foaming or gel cleansers.

How long does one bottle last? +

The concentrated formula means a little goes a long way – typically just one or two pumps per cleanse. With twice-daily use, most users find a 150ml bottle lasts approximately 2-3 months.

Can I use Micellar Mousse with my retinol/retinal products? +

Absolutely. The gentle, non-stripping formula makes it an ideal cleanser to use before applying vitamin A products. It won't sensitise your skin or compromise your barrier, which is particularly important when using actives like retinol or retinal.

What does Micellar Mousse smell like? +

The formula has a light, uplifting citrus scent from natural orange, grapefruit, lime and bergamot oils. It's subtle and fresh rather than overpowering, and rinses away completely with the product.

Is Medik8 Micellar Mousse safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding? +

Yes. Medik8 confirms that this product does not contain any ingredients they would recommend avoiding during pregnancy. The formula is free from retinoids, salicylic acid and other commonly flagged ingredients.

However, if you have any concerns or specific sensitivities, we always recommend consulting your GP or midwife before introducing new products during pregnancy.
