This one is much easier to find in drugstores and online, and I've gone through two bottles of this before I did my brows.

The formula is said to be made with thermal spring water to hydrate more intensely, but I didn't see a major difference between this and others I've used. I did notice that the redness on my cheeks was mitigated a bit.

This one is also more hydrating than others thanks to vitamin B5, but I still use moisturizer after cleansing — same with all the other micellar waters. Unlike Bioderma though, this one has added fragrance so it might irritate people with sensitive skin.

Beauty Water is pretty versatile and works as a toner and cleanser; if you've got a spray bottle, you can decant some and use as a facial spray too. I've used it both as a toner and cleanser, and like the hydration and brightening effects.

It's a much larger bottle than the others and has other ingredients besides micellar water and vitamins, like green tea for antioxidants, rose water for hydration, and witch hazel for toning. The $30 price tag sounds like a lot compared to others here, but I think it's worth the price given the additional skin-care benefits.

I used a travel-sized bottle of this recently in Savannah and was surprised at how well and how quickly it removed my waterproof eye makeup — which lasted through 80% humidity, so it was definitely hanging onto my skin for dear life.

I just laid a soaked cotton round on top of my eyes for a few seconds and most of the inky makeup easily lifted off my skin. I felt confident enough that I didn't need a second cotton round to finish the job, so I just used a cotton swab to get between my lashes.

This one is a little more hydrating than the rest because it has coconut water, though you'll still need moisturizer.

This one smells super fresh, but not sickeningly so. In fact, I look forward to the light cucumber scent because it makes me feel clean — which is the main reason I'm removing my makeup in the first place, right?

This one gets rid of my makeup as quickly and as well as the others, but also does a nice job of calming down my red cheeks a bit too.

It also has a pump dispenser that I really appreciate. It draws the liquid up so all I have to do is press a cotton round on top of the bottle to dispense. With others bottle, you have to squeeze the water onto the cotton round, which isn't the most annoying thing as it's just ineffective when you're trying to get to bed faster.
