Team Clozette Reviews NIVEA’s 1st Rose Micellar Water With Oil

Will Nivea do us proud?


At the end of a long day, one of the most relaxing things to do is to remove our make-up and prep our skin for a good night’s rest. And more often than not, our choice of make-up remover comprises of some very simple characteristics: it needs to do a good job of removing all traces of make-up without leaving a greasy after-feel. It’s as simple as that, right? But what if we told you that your skin can do better than that?

Let’s be clear: Nivea’s newest Rose Micellar Water with Oil is not your regular heavy-duty make-up remover. As the first micellar water with oil in Singapore that is infused with rose water, it not only removes waterproof make-up easily without leaving your skin feeling greasy, it also delivers 10 skincare benefits.

The Nivea Rose Micellar Water with Oil works to maintain skin’s pH balance; hydrate and revitalise skin’s texture; is packed with antioxidants that help protect skin from damage; reduce oiliness; purify and tone skin; sooth irritated skin; reduce redness; cool and refresh skin; fight acne; and encourage the healing of wounds and reduce the appearance of scars. It’s a mouthful of skin goodness, but we thought you should know. Simply put, your skincare routine begins the moment you cleanse away your make-up — and how can we deny our skin of this game-changing benefit, right?

Can the Nivea Rose Micellar Water with Oil — suitable for all skin types — actually cleanse away our waterproof make-up, and is the Clozette team impressed by its skincare benefits? Watch the video above, then read our reviews below.

“I tried it on my waterproof eyeliner next, and I was pleasantly taken aback.”

Nivea’s newest Rose Micellar Water with Oil comes in a super pretty packaging in pink. As a fan of Nivea, I’ve always noticed that my skin feels refreshed and comfortable immediately after using their products. When I first tried the product, it swiftly removed my blush and foundation in one swipe. I tried it on my waterproof eyeliner next, and I was pleasantly taken aback. It thoroughly cleansed my upper and lower lids without the need for rubbing or rinsing.

This effective cleansing remover with rose water takes it up a notch by infusing rose into its formula – smelling like fresh roses and harnessing the skincare benefits of rose water.

The Rose Micellar Water comes with a layer of oil on top and I was surprised by the non-greasy after-feel on my skin. Not only did my skin feel smoother and softer, it left a glowing complexion and my skin felt hydrated! — Sabrina, Content & Community Executive

“My irritated skin feels calmed, refreshed, and soft to the touch.”

I love a good visual, so I can’t help but notice the layers of oil and pink-tinted water that make me want to give the Rose Micellar Water a good shake every time! Now, I use mascara everyday so I’m a regular user of waterproof make-up removers that contain oil. I’m pretty much used to the oily after-feel, so imagine my surprise when my skin didn’t feel greasy or sticky at all after the product dries off. Most of my make-up, including my waterproof mascara, came off on my first swipe!

After a long, hot day in this humidity, my irritated skin feels calmed, refreshed, and soft to the touch with a lingering fragrant that smells a little like baby powder: soft smelling and never overpowering. — Azleena, Campaign Manager

“Is this a make-up remover, toner, moisturiser and treatment in a bottle?”

You’d think that a make-up remover with oil would give you an uncomfortable, greasy finish – but not this one. The Nivea Rose Micellar Water with Oil is godsend for double cleansing ladies like me. Not only does it remove my waterproof make-up cleanly — it definitely gives you instant gratification in that department — it also helps to soothe and reduce the residual redness I get from the angry zits that pop up during the time of the month. Plus, it also tones, purifies and hydrates skin! I’m confused — is this a make-up remover, toner, moisturiser and treatment in a bottle? Well, but it doesn’t matter, does it?


A bottle of cleanser

For a total double cleansing experience, I tried the Nivea Rose Micellar Water Wash Gel next. The result is refreshingly clear skin without that uncomfortably squeaky or taut feeling. The Wash Gel delivers bonus skincare nourishments overnight and preps the skin for make-up application the next day. My takeaway from this review? Your skin doesn’t necessarily need a toner or moisturiser to feel balanced and hydrated. You probably just need this cleansing duo. — Becks, Editor

“It removes makeup… without tugging at my skin or disrupting its fragile balance.” 



A comparison of a woman's face with and without makeup

Stripping down to the basics with micellar water, I like that the Nivea Rose Micellar Water with Oil is a non-rinse, soap-free cleanser that lifts makeup, oil and other impurities from my skin with a simple swipe of a cotton pad. It’s a rather gentle cleanser that removes waterproof makeup from face, eyes, and lips effortlessly without tugging at my skin or disrupting its fragile balance. One thing to note is that it leaves behind a taste on my lips after removing my lipstick and did take a while for it to fade, but nothing a quick wetting of lips with water can’t fix! Apart from that, I think it’s great that it removes makeup thoroughly and easily in a swipe or two, without any feeling of tightness or dryness. — Jenifer, Campaign Manager
