The Bioderma Sensibio Cleanser Guide
1. The Micellar Water
Quick, no-rinse cleansing
Morning or evening as a first-step cleanse
Ideal for daily makeup removal
A travel must-have
Sensibio Micellar Water is arguably the most popular Bioderma cleanser and the most famous micellar water - it was the first after all! It became famous when celebrities, models, and makeup artists began raving about it in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The non-rinse formula cleanses the skin using molecules called micelles (cue the name), which act like magnets, drawing dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin. What’s special about this formula is that it preserves the skin’s natural balance while it cleanses, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive ones.
2. The Face Wash
Deep, thorough cleansing
Ideal for those with oily or combination skin
Removes excess oils without drying out the skin
Soap-free formula
The Sensibio Foaming Gel isn't like other face washes; it doesn't strip your skin of moisture or leave a squeaky-clean feeling. It's a soap-free formula that cleanses the skin of makeup and impurities while hydrating and soothing it.
It has a creamy formula that contains an exclusive DAF complex, a combination of active ingredients that reinforce sensitive skin's tolerance. The result? A face that looks and feels clean and comfortable.
2. The Cleansing Oil
Gentle yet effective makeup removal
Best for dry or dehydrated skin
Perfect if you prefer an oil-based cleanse for added hydration
Removes heavy/waterproof makeup/SPF without irritation
If you wear heavy makeup or stubborn sunscreen, a cleansing oil is the best way to remove everything without tugging on your skin. The Sensibio Cleansing Oil uses micellar technology for a gentle, frictionless cleanse that dissolves makeup, dirt, and impurities effortlessly.
It transforms into a milky texture when mixed with water, rinsing clean without leaving a greasy residue. Packed with the DAF complex, it helps boost skin tolerance, making it perfect for sensitive skin. The result? Clean, nourished skin that feels soft, not tight or dry.
