Micellar Facial Cleansing Gel

Contains smart micellar and hard-working Anti-pollution Marine Extract (EXO-P), plus a trio of antioxidant-rich Australian fruit extracts. Micellar Facial Cleaning Gel rinses off easily, revealing clean, soft, more toned and refreshed skin.

Q: Is the Micellar Facial Cleansing Gel the same as micellar water? 

A: It is very similar to micellar water in that they both employ the same type of mild micellar surfactants, but the LYCON Skin Micellar Facial Cleaning Gel is a thicker and more powerful type of cleanser that also effectively removes difficult residues such as eye makeup, without sacrificing gentleness.

The Micellar Facial Cleansing Gel is to be rinsed off, not left on like micellar water, which we believe gives a better overall result for your skin and less product is used, compared to micellar water.

Q: Why are Australian plum extracts beneficial?

A: Some of our LYCON Skin products incorporate a blend of three indigenous Australian Plum Extracts – Kakadu Plum Extract, Burdekin Plum Extract and Illawarra Plum Extract.

These plums are regarded as ‘superfruits’ due to their remarkably high antioxidant levels. For example, Kakadu plum has about 100x the Vitamin C content of oranges, while the anthocyanin-rich Illawarra plum has about 7x the antioxidant level of blueberries.

This blend of Australian superfruits provides potent antioxidant activity (to protect your skin from damaging free radicals) and it also contributes to hydration and the activation of anti-ageing processes (for instance, Vitamin C boosts collagen production).

Q: What makes this range suitable for all skin types?

A: By careful screening and curation of our ingredients, we have designed outstanding formulas that are suitable for all skin types.

For example, we look after people with sensitive skin by using ingredients suitable for sensitive skins. In addition, we have also carefully selected non-comedogenic ingredients to take care of oily skins, and a multitude of intelligent hydrating and anti-ageing ingredients to look after dry and mature skins, without over-burdening oily skins. There are scores of effective ways in how this formulation philosophy plays out.

An example is that we might use Shea Butter, Olive Squalane and vegan ceramides to provide hydration and barrier repair that suits dry skin, mature skin, sensitive skin and oily/problematic skin. On the hydration side, we employ a xylitol (a natural sugar) derived complex that brings optimised hydration in a balanced way so that dry skin is looked after without over-moisturising normal or oily skin. One of our main hero ingredients, Yeast Beta-Glucan, is also fundamental in making LYCON Skin products very ‘adaptive’ and suitable for multiple skin types.
