- Antioxidant: Protects skin cells from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) ExtractProven
A natural astringent rich in tannins, catechins, and gallic acid. Provides pore-tightening, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial benefits without the harsh effects of alcohol-based witch hazel.
- Astringent: Tannin content constricts skin proteins, temporarily tightening pores and reducing oiliness.
- Antibacterial: Gallic acid and catechins help inhibit acne-causing bacteria on the skin surface.
- Vasoconstrictor: Helps narrow blood vessels, which can reduce redness and puffiness.

How to use
HOW TO USESaturate a Cotton Pad
Apply a generous amount of micellar water onto a cotton pad until it is fully saturated. Using enough product prevents tugging on the skin.
Gently Swipe Across Skin
Dab and gently swipe the cotton pad across your face, eyes, and lips to dissolve and lift away makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities.
Repeat if Needed
For heavier makeup, use a second cotton pad and repeat. Continue until the pad comes away clean.
No Rinse Required (Optional)
Rinsing with water afterwards is optional. You may also use this product as a toner before applying the rest of your skincare routine or makeup.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You have oily or acne-prone skin and want a gentle first cleanser
- You need a quick no-rinse makeup and sunscreen remover
- You prefer fragrance-free, minimal-ingredient products
- You want a micellar water with anti-acne and sebum-control benefits
- You have sensitive skin and need a sting-free formula

- You want a high-concentration active treatment cleanser (AHA/BHA cleanser)
- You prefer a rich, balm or oil-based cleansing texture
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESIdeal match. Oil-free formula with Anti-Sebum P Complex and Niacinamide actively controls excess oil without stripping the skin.
Specifically formulated for acne-prone skin with Tea Tree, Witch Hazel, and Niacinamide. Non-comedogenic, low irritation risk.
Lightweight water texture balances well across oily and dry zones. Cleanses T-zone oil without drying cheeks.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and no-sting formula. Bisabolol and Centella soothe irritation. Patch test if very reactive to tea tree.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Similar no-rinse micellar concept and gentle cleansing action. However, lacks acne-specific actives like Niacinamide, Tea Tree, and Centella. Contains fragrance.
Also targets oily and acne-prone skin with a sebum-regulating micellar formula. Includes zinc gluconate instead of Tea Tree/CICA. More widely available internationally but costs more.
K-beauty micellar water with Niacinamide and BHA at low pH. More exfoliating focus but lacks Centella/Witch Hazel soothing actives. Better for those wanting mild exfoliation.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This micellar water does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid (BHA), hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or any other ingredients commonly flagged as unsafe during pregnancy. All 21 ingredients are considered pregnancy and breastfeeding compatible. However, always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns about your skincare routine during pregnancy.
Use with caution. The formula contains PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, which is an ester-based emulsifier that may potentially feed Malassezia yeast in individuals prone to fungal acne. While most of the other ingredients are fungal acne safe, this one ingredient means it is not strictly FA-safe. If you are sensitive to fungal acne triggers, do a patch test or consider a fully FA-safe micellar water alternative.
Yes. Since this is a cleansing product that is wiped or rinsed off, it does not interfere with subsequent active ingredients. Use it as your first cleansing step, then follow with your retinol, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA treatments. The gentle formula and Centella Asiatica content may even help soothe skin before applying stronger actives.
This micellar water is best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. The Anti-Sebum P Complex and Niacinamide specifically target excess oil production and pore minimization. It also works well for sensitive skin due to its fragrance-free, no-sting formula. Dry skin types can use it as a first cleanser but should follow up with hydrating products.
You will feel an immediate clean, refreshed sensation after the first use. Reduced oiliness and fewer minor breakouts typically become noticeable within 1-2 weeks. Pore refinement and improved skin texture generally take 3-4 weeks of consistent daily use. For brightening and fading of acne marks, expect 6-8 weeks with regular use.
Use it as the very first step in your skincare routine — before any other cleanser, toner, or treatment. In the evening, apply it to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. Follow with a gel or foam cleanser for double-cleansing. In the morning, it can serve as a quick single-step cleanser or toner replacement. Apply all subsequent skincare products (toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen) after this step.
No. This product has a comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it has a very low risk of clogging pores. The formula is oil-free, silicone-free, and water-based. Niacinamide and Witch Hazel actually help reduce pore congestion. It is designed specifically for acne-prone skin and is unlikely to cause breakouts when used as directed.
The product has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal freshness and efficacy. With daily use, the 300ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months, so shelf life is rarely a concern. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the pump sealed between uses.
Verdict: The Luxe Organix Miracle Solutions Acne Derm+ Micellar Cleansing Beauty Water is an excellent budget-friendly micellar water specifically designed for oily and acne-prone skin. Its standout combination of Niacinamide, Anti-Sebum P Complex, Tea Tree, Witch Hazel, and a full CICA complex puts it above typical micellar waters that only focus on cleansing. The fragrance-free, alcohol-free, no-sting formula makes it safe for sensitive skin and pregnancy. The only notable drawbacks are its limited international availability and the presence of PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, which may not suit those with fungal acne concerns. For the price and the 300ml size, it delivers outstanding value as a first cleansing step with real skincare benefits.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
