Hello, hello!
Today I’m reviewing the Pacifica Coconut Water Micellar Cleansing Tonic from my March Petit Vour box. [info in italics taken from the Petit Vour website]
We make it easy to be good with this simple step in cleansing that requires no water and no rinsing. Fortified coconut, calendula and grapefruit waters, this powerful tonic helps capture and lift away dirt, oil and impurities without harsh rubbing or over-drying. For all skin types
First off, this smells very strongly of coconut, which I have an aversion to. It smells like bad suntan lotion to me – but if you like coconut scented products, then you will probably like this.
I only used this micellar water once because it triggered a reaction! The one rare occasion that I didn’t do a skin patch test first – my skin felt like it was burning and turned red! I immediately ran to wash it off with my most gentle cream cleanser and then put on a soothing facial moisturizer and managed to calm my skin down within about an hour.
I don’t see any obvious sensitivity triggers for my skin in the ingredient list so I’m assuming that it is something in the “parfum (natural)” blend in the ingredients that is not specified. I’m not willing to test this on my face again. I’ve had no problems with any of their skincare that I’ve tried before, so I was quite surprised!
Ingredients 100% Cruelty-Free and VeganĀ | aqua (purified), sorbitan oleate decylglucoside crosspolymer, decyl glucoside, glycerin, cocos nucifera (coconut) water, calendula officinalis (flower) extract, citrus grandis (grapefruit) fruit water, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, parfum (natural).
Have you tried this?
Thanks for reading

I used to use makeup by this brand year’s ago and I’m impressed to see how much more skincare they are developing. But I wonder how scented this product is? I found most to be to scenty in the past (even though it’s natural fragrance)

I found this one to be quite strongly scented.

Oh, this sounds terrible! First the smell, then the scary skin reaction.
I’m glad you were able to prevent the worst. xo

Oh noooo I literally bought it from ulta and it arrived last week. I am sorry that it caused a reaction for you. I’m not looking forward to the coconut scent but I guess if I really hate it that much I could just use it to wipe of swatches instead of using it on my face š¤·š»āāļø
Thanks for sharing your experience with this one.
