I am a huge fan of Drunk Elephant cleansers, so this new launch is super exciting! Here’s the lowdown on the brand new Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water.
Update 1st July 2020
The new micellar just launched at Space NK* and Cult Beauty*.
I absolutely love DE’s balm cleanser, the Slaii Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser, and I also really like the jelly cleanser as a second cleanse or morning cleanse. They also have some cleasning bars, and I guess the only thing missing from their cleansing portfolio was a micellar water. Well that has now been addressed.

How to Use it
DE suggest that that you gently smooth over the face, eyes, and lips with a soft cotton pad, holding for a few seconds on heavily made-up areas. Avoid scrubbing, tugging or rubbing. Can also be used anytime in between facial cleansing. Shake before use.
My Review
I have to say, this is not a classic micellar. The texture reminds me more of a serum, or a thick essence type product and the way it feels on the skin seems like more of a hydration treatment than a cleanser.
I have used this to remove makeup a couple of times before I go in and do proper cleanse, but you do need quite a lot of product to remove heavy makeup. So that’s not my preferred way to use it.
I really like the texture. It is like a watery milk that melts into a clear water solution. It feels super gentle and hydrating.
My favourite way to use this is when I want a quick morning cleanse. I love the way it sits on the cotton pad, rather than sinking into it.
It makes skin feel so fresh and clean, and super smooth and plump. I like to do it straight out of bed before I do my workout as it’s so refreshing and wakes up my face.
It actually makes a lovely second cleanse because it’s very soothing and hydrating. Before I tried it I was completely expecting it to be the cleanse number one! I have to confess, it won’t become an essential part of my routine, but it is really pleasant to use.
