If you ask any makeup artist — whether they specialize in editorial, celebrity, or otherwise — a large number of them will sing the praises of this OG micellar water from France. Ahn tried it for the first time at a makeup trade show and has been hooked ever since. "It's such a gentle product and also inexpensive," she says. "You can use it as an everyday cleanser and it helps eyelash extensions last longer, too."

"This is my favorite natural gentle exfoliator. It's so good," says Ahn, who noted that it came by recommendation from a good friend. "It provides natural exfoliation without irritation. I have very sensitive skin so it's perfect for me, and I recommend using it once a week."

If you haven't tried a cleansing balm yet, this one just might be a great introduction. Cruz says, "This ultra-gentle balm-to-oil cleanser melts away makeup so seamlessly that it leaves the skin feeling clean, smooth, and ready for any skincare regime. Another great thing about this product is that it is made with clean and vegan ingredients."

"I love this product because it blends micellar water technology in a super easy-to-use, handy cloth wipe," says Hatcher. "It also is packed with antioxidants to help protect your skin while you remove your makeup. These are a must-have in your carry on and any makeup kit. It works great on any skin type and is gentle enough to use daily."

Hatcher is admittedly biased given her role at Jane Iredale, but she swears by the brand's BeautyPrep micellar water cleanser. "It's been a game changer when it comes to prepping the skin for makeup applications," she says. "It has the ability to dissolve all your makeup, making it a breeze to wipe away, and then it leaves behind all these amazing skin hydrators."
