BEAUTY REVIEW: Bioderma Sebium H2O Solution Micellaire

Another favorite cleanser review today :D

Have you heard about Bioderma Sebium H2O? 

Actually, a few months back this product also caused a hype over the blogosphere together with the Sensibio Variant.

Bioderma Sebium H2O 500ml

Some descriptions from bioderma's website:

• BIODERMA innovation, Sébium H2O gently cleanses the skin without drying it, through the micro-emulsion of impurities and excess sebum.

• Enriched with purifying active ingredients, Sébium H2O cleanses the epidermis in depth and regulates secretion of sebum. The patented sebo-correcting complex, Fluidactiv®, normalises sebum quality.

• Sébium H2O guarantees excellent cutaneous and ocular tolerance.

• Sébium H2O is non-comedogenic.

How to use:

• Soak a cotton pad with Sébium H2O and cleanse your face. Repeat the application until the cotton pad remains clean.

• Needs no rinsing but it is essential to dry your skin. Dry gently. Pat your face with a clean, cotton towel.

• Sébium H2O can be used daily, morning and evening.

Fragranced formula.

Ingredients:


WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, SODIUM CITRATE , ZINC GLUCONATE, COPPER SULFATE, GINKGO BILOBA EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).


I use this not only to cleanse my face, but to also remove makeups though it is not actually indicated in the product description It still works well only I need to use a lot till the cotton pads got clean.


Raves:

• No strong scent
• Is non-comedogenic
• Not drying
• Formulated to minimize risk of allergies
• Alcohol free
• No Coloring
• Soap Free
• Feels like just water but with skin benefits
• No need to rinse (a must to celebrate for a lazy me ^.^)
• Works as a makeup remover too!

Rants:

• Not suitable to remove eye makeup such as mascara.
• Need to use a lot before getting the desired result
• Bulky
• Difficult to find
• No change on my face oil production 

10 Raves vs 5 Rants

My Say:

Bioderma works well as a cleanser, though it is not stated in their product description I use it as a makeup remover also. It does claim that it normalizes sebum quality, but I haven't notice any change after a month's use. Will I repurchase? Hmmmn.. maybe if I go to Hong Kong or mom will send some, because unfortunately I haven't seen anyone who sell this here yet.

Wait! That's it maybe I'll sell some myself online hahaha... Also I would love to try their Sensibio too!
