Best for Energizing
The name Rodial Dragon's Blood Cleansing Water, $36, may be intimidating, but this cleansing water is actually quite mild. (Dragon's blood is a calming tree extract.) And it contains vitamin B3 to invigorate the skin.

Best for Sensitive Skin
Avene Micellar Lotion, $20, is about as basic as it gets -- but that's not a bad thing. It's alcohol- and soap-free, and it leaves skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.

Best for Breakouts
If you have acne-prone skin, you may think micellar water isn't deep-cleaning enough. But Lierac Gentle Cleanser Micellar Cleansing Water, $24, puts that to the test. It contains honey, which is antimicrobial, and probiotics, which can help with breakouts. Plus, linseed and mallow flower extracts help to pull toxins from the skin.

Best for Antioxidant Protection
Le Couvent des Minimes 3 in 1 Micellar Water, $17, contains two types of rose extract plus wild rose berry polyphenols -- similar to the antioxidants found in wine -- to protect skin from free-radicals.
