Bioderma Sébium H2O - Purifying Micellar Water for Oily, Combination & Acne Prone Skin, Cleanser Removes Impurities, Pollution & Pollen, Gentle Makeup Remover, 250ml

This product is my holy grail of skin cleansing! I am only rarely as excited about a product as I am with this solution. I have a combination skin, with oiliness concentrated in between the eyebrows and nose area (and around it) only, the rest of the face is normal. I used to get occasional zits here and there and quite a few blackheads, but never acne, and also I rarely wore foundation/concealer of any kind. The first time I used Bioderma Solution was in 2014, and I actually substituted my whole skin cleansing step (I stopped using foaming cleansers and water to cleanse my skin) with it, and I did not regret it. My skin was more hydrated, less oily and most of all CLEAN very quickly, and after a while I did not have as many zits on my face, unless I used some new products that would trigger it. I used Bioderma for a year, and I did not re-purchase due to financial difficulties. I started using foaming cleansers again, and for a while it felt okay, but my skin clogged faster than it was cleaned, and in a few months it felt not as great. This made me realize what a good cleansing power Bioderma had. My skin is prone to occasional clogging, and a year ago for the first time in my life I got acne - the reason for that was caffeine, comedogenic sunscreen, stress with university deadlines and foaming cleansers. After eliminating those, I quickly switched to affordable micellar solutions, e.g., Garnier, but they left a sticky residue on my skin and I had to wipe my face with the solution several times (using several cotton pads) to see the pad clean. I re-purchased Bioderma Sebium shortly after, since for me acne meant I was going to wear foundation daily until it healed, and I needed something to deeply cleanse my skin morning and evening as well as get the make-up off. I was genuinely surprised, when my acne purging and healing sped up upon Bioderma introduction! For comparison, when I ran out of the bottle, I temporarily switched to other brands (L'oreal and Garnier micellar waters), and my progress somewhat hindered - it did not make it worse, but it wasn't nearly as good in purifying my skin. This was my story, my acne has healed, and Bioderma keeps those pores from clogging and skin hydrated, and it does not leave any tangible residue on the skin. As for the product characteristics, the solution smells incredibly pleasant; I find the cap on the bottle practical at preventing product wastage; I have never used versions smaller than 500ml, and 500ml bottle lasts me up to 5 months (depends on whether I use it to wipe of make-up or just cleanse the skin). All in all, Bioderma Sebium solution is a great product for combination, oily and acne-prone skin types, and it does not aggravate existing acne, but assists in healing it (tried and tested). It is pricey, but I would never switch to other affordable versions, since from my experience, most will be inferior to Bioderma. Drugstore micellar waters might be okay for people with okay skin, but for clog-prone skin it is important that the product delivers on its promise, and it is this product that does!

Has a subtle fresh cucumber kind of scent, removes eye makeup effortlessly without irritation. Pricier than other brands but it was gentle on my sensitive skin in comparison to other micellar waters I’ve tried.

A must-have product to cleanse your face and pores, especially with the horrors of London pollution. Absolutely superior to other micellar cleansing waters from other brands - a few drops on a cotton pad will clean your face well and you can literally see the dirt on the pad when you are done. Other brands may be cheaper, but you have to use more product, so it's a false economy in the end. I use it before my foam cleanser as the first step of my double-cleansing routine. I also use it in the mornings just to sweep my face, and after the gym because I don't want to strip my face with a harsh cleanser too many times a day. I have sensitive skin and it hasn't caused any reactions at all. Can definitely feel a difference in the cleanliness of my skin when I don't use it. I have also used the pink version that is supposed to be more gentle, and prefer this one as it is more effective at removing dirt and makeup. My partner also uses this product and his pore tone has definitely improved.

I’m happy

I was getting spots from other micellar water. This one is brilliant .

I love this!!!! This is party of my life have several years!

This is excellent for my skin. reduces pores and skin feels clean afterwards

Soothes and calms my sons spot prone skin. He likes using it a lot and says it feels nice.

Had these before. They work great!

I've been using it for more than 6 years! It's the best for sensitive skin!

Melhor agua micelar que já usei. Não troco por mais nenhuma marca. Já deve ser o 6 que compro. Dura mto!

Étant très sensible des yeux, je ne pouvais me démaquiller qu’avec un démaquillant biphasé mais je n’aimais pas l’effet gras qui restait sur ma peau. Donc un jour une amie maquilleuse m’a recommandé l’eau Micellaire Sébium et j’ai adoré ! Je peux me démaquiller facilement (même le maquillage waterproof), les yeux ne me piquent pas, aucun film gras à la fin et la peau est propre. Ayant la peau mixte, je sens que cet eau micellaire me correspond vraiment car ma zone T est moins grasse (après 3 mois d’usage) et je n’ai aucun tiraillement sur les joues (quelque chose qui m’arrivait avant).

Best for combination or sensitive skin. I use it to double cleanse. Works like a charm. A little goes a long way with cotton pads. Don’t use too much at a time and don’t rub it as it can be drying in the long run. Always wash off micellar residue with water or a cleanser as you prefer and follow up with a Moisturizer.
