There's something fun about removing dirt from your skin with a cleanser that turns the cotton pad black before you even apply it . . . but the Bioré Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water (£3, originally £5) is more than just a novelty. Those with oily skin probably find traditional micellar waters don't cleanse deep enough, but this really feels like it does the job. It easily removes makeup, excess oil, and the build up of grime from a day in an urban environment. It also smells gorgeous (and not at all like you'd expect) — GC
