Finally available in the USA.  I always stocked up on micellar water products when I went to France - they've used it & loved it for years.  It was supposedly invented for Parisian women because the water in Paris is so "hard".  The water is hard there, I can vouch for that & that is why the pharmacy was always one of my first stops when arriving in Paris.  Hard water makes it difficult to remove all your makeup & tends to dry out the skin.

This is really good micellar water.  I use this water on a cotton pad to remove eye makeup and foundation.  I even use it to clean my skin when I do not wear makeup.  Just squeeze the water on to a disposable cotton pad, hold over your eye for about 15 seconds, then gently wipe away the makeup.  You will probably need more than one pad to clean your face.  I like  "Swisspers" brand cotton rounds - you can buy them on Amazon or at Costco, etc.

This stuff is not magic, it's science & it's been around for a long time.  The micelle surfactant molecule is suspended in liquid/water and kind of grabs on to the dirt/oils/makeup on your face & doesn't allow it to stick on your face.  (That is my simple, non-scientist explanation.)  There is no irritation - even around eyes.  And the skin actually feels clean without rinsing with tap water - really!  When you use it, it seems like you are just using regular tap water except it actually dissolves/grabs the goo/makeup/dirt off your face.
