I usually use the Micellar Cleansing Water from Simple so that's what I compared this one to.  Both did a great job of removing make up, including mascara, gently and completely but neither could remove lip stain.  Both did an excellent job of removing sweat and grime post workout.  The only difference I noticed was the Vichy water left my face feeling a little tacky.  Not a lot, but when I lightly drag my fingertips across my cheeks, I can feel a slight pulling on the Vichy side. The tachy feeling diminishes with time and after about 10 minutes,  both sides felt the same.
