First Impressions of the Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water
The first, very obvious difference about this Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water is the texture. It's called milky, but it's not as fluid as milk (or water). It's more like a watery serum; it's not as runny as a squirt of water would be on skin, but it's not so substantial that it stays in one place after it's applied (like a thicker serum would).
The next most obvious change is the way it feels. It's creamy to the touch and fairly opaque at first so it's clear — pun intended — there's more than just water inside.
As it turns out, this version stands out because in addition to those micelles to clean dirt and pollution from skin, there's also a plant-derived ceramide blend, which protects against water loss by mimicking the wax-like moisturisers that naturally occur in skin. That, along with wild melon seed oil (to also hydrate and support skin's barrier), leaves my face softer and more soothed afterward, which was immediately obvious after my first application.
