Hey friends!
If you have sensitive skin and you feel like there are no skincare products out there that are suitable for you, do not be dismayed.
Instead, you might want to read this entry because I'll be introducing 3 great products under French beauty brand, Bioderma.
Bioderma has been in the market for a while now and many of you have probably seen them on the shelves in local pharmacies like Watsons and Guardian. Admittedly, these products do not look pretty or cute and the white-red colour scheme makes the products look more like they belong in dermatological clinics.
Well, you're not wrong about that. Bioderma provides derma skincare products as well as derma cosmetics to ensure that your skin is well taken care of using high quality and beneficial ingredients.
Despite the serious-looking packaging, I'm pretty sure that these products will become many people's holy grail and people with sensitive skin types will be particularly thankful for their existence.
For the makeup gurus out there, you've probably heard many raves about their star product, the Bioderma Sensibio H2O ($28.90 for 250ml).
Also available in 100ml (for $15.90) and 500ml (for $41.90), this star product is a makeup remover, but oh, it's not just ANY makeup remover. This product uses Micelle Technology to remove every single trace of makeup without needing to rinse your face. In fact, it was the world's first non-rinse cleansing water and one bottle of this was actually sold worldwide every 3 seconds.
If you're new to micellar water makeup removers, the idea of not rinsing your face when removing make-up sounds disgusting. I used to think that if you don't rinse, you will end up breaking out from makeup residue. But ever since I tried non-rinse makeup removers, I was SOLD. It truly removes all your makeup from your face in just a few wipes!
Bioderma Sensibio H2O was way more impressive because it could remove my makeup with just 1 thorough wipe. I wore light and simple makeup when I went out for lunch with the boyfriend's family yesterday. When I returned home and removed my makeup, I was intrigued that 1 facial cotton soaked with Bioderma Sensibio H2O was all I needed to feel clean and refreshed again. I normally need at least 2 facial cottons to wipe off my makeup fully and 1 more to wipe off the wetness from my face.
For Bioderma Sensibio H2O, I didn't even have to wipe off the wetness because it dries so quickly. Thus, not only did it save me a lot of time; my skin was also super comfortable.
Some non-rinse makeup removers can also leave your face slightly reddish. Fortunately, Bioderma Sensibio H2O doesn't have this problem because it is very gentle on the skin. In fact, it is made of highly purified water and is entirely free from impurities and irritants. Thus, it is definitely suitable for sensitive skin types.
Bioderma has also introduced 2 additional products into the Sensibio range and one of them was the Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant ($33.90).
This product is a fragrance-free, gel-based cleanser that has lipid-restoring and moisturising properties. Many people with sensitive skin types have trouble finding a cleanser that works for them. Some cleansers in the market are too harsh; will strip the skin from moisture or even leave the skin reddish and tight.
Thankfully, the Gel Moussant is a very gentle cleanser which will not only hydrate sensitive skin but soothe it. It also has a runny texture and foams easily. Although the cleanser is higher on the price point, it will probably last you for a long time because you don't need a lot of this product to clean your face so I guessed it's still value-for-money.
I have also tried removing my makeup with this product and found that it worked very well. You can use this product alone or combine it with the Bioderma Sensibio H20 if prefer to double cleanse.
Lastly, we have the Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological Water ($19.90 for 150ml) and I was so happy to add this to my collection of face and body mists!
This product is made of highly purified water and enhanced with an ideal balance of mineral salts. It is suitable for people with sensitive and intolerant skin types as the spray calms the skin while maintaining healthy skin cells. You can use it to do the following:
- Soothe redness and itching
- Freshen up
- Set makeup
- Remove excess mask
I'm a fan of facial mists because they have always worked wonders on my sensitive face and I love the refreshing sensation after spraying. I typically use them when my skin feels dry, tight and red after stepping out of the shower. Occasionally, I'll spray it to set my makeup. I also like spraying it on my body after coming home from a humid day out or after fitness to calm my skin and prevent sweat rash. I really like how multipurpose this product is so I'd definitely recommend it for anyone with sensitive skin. They also have a 50ml version at $5.90 which you can bring on the go and use it whenever you need. Awesome eh?
If you're interested to purchase Bioderma Sensibio products, they are available at Watsons, Guardian, Unity, Robinsons, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and National Skin Centre.
