This month, BIODERMA is taking skincare back to basics and celebrating its range of iconic micellar waters.
As the first step in any skincare routine, cleansing is often considered the most important. Our skin faces constant stress from make-up, pollution (fine pollution particles or heavy metals), impurities (sebum, metabolic residue) and mask-wearing which weaken it. Skin must therefore be thoroughly cleansed in the morning and evening, in order to prepare the skin to absorb moisture and essential ingredients from serums and creams that follow. Cleansing is essential: it is the first step to take care of the skin.
Skincare routines don’t need to be complicated, and BIODERMA’s micellar waters are the first one-step, no-rinse cleansing method that is directly inspired by the skin’s lipids. They cleanse the skin from make-up and pollution while allowing it to regain its natural balance by respecting and preserving the skin’s barrier function.
Invented by Laboratoire Bioderma in 1995, micellar water revolutionised everyday make-up removal and cleansing, especially for sensitive skin. Working with dermatologists, BIODERMA developed a product that was better suited to the skin’s biology in particular for sensitive skin, Sensibio H2O micellar water.
Today, one bottle of Sensibio H2O is sold every second worldwide.
BIODERMA’s micellar solutions are based on micellar technology and remain the gold standard thanks to their rigorously selected, 100% skincare ingredients which work in harmony with the skin including glycerol ester, a fatty acid which mimics the skin’s composition along with pharmaceutical-grade water which guarantees optimal safety and tolerance, even for the most sensitive skin.
BIODERMA knows that it isn’t one-size-fits-all when it comes to skincare and has developed micellar water for every skin type using a tailored dermatological approach to encourage healthy skin.
Sensibio H2O
The pioneer of the range, Sensibio H2O is designed to remove make-up, cleanse, and soothe sensitive skin. The lightweight product freshens, immediately soothes, and lastingly reduces feelings of discomfort. Sensibio H2O protects the skin against irritants leaving it less reactive and less irritated.
Sébium H2O
Developed for combination to oily skin, Sébium H2O gently cleanses skin, removing and preventing excess sebum. Active ingredients copper sulphate and zinc gluconate help rebalance the skin and prevent blemishes. Sébium H2O leaves the skin purified, clearer and smoother.
Hydrabio H2O
Hydrabio H2O is ideal for dehydrated skin removing make-up, cleansing, and moisturising skin in one simple step. Thanks to glycerine and AquageniumTM, skin is immediately and lastingly hydrated. Hydrabio H2O leaves the skin feeling soft, supple and toned.
BIODERMA H2O range 250ml is priced at €12.75 and is available from pharmacies nationwide.
