Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water

A long-time Sephora shopper lists Bioderma Sensibio micellar water among their holy-grail skincare products.

“Bioderma Sensibio Wicellar Water”

Chronically ill with type 2 rosacea that cleansing balms started triggering, they now swear by Bioderma Sensibio, and on low-energy days a cotton-pad swipe with it is enough.

“Now I swear by Bioderma Sensibio”

They love Bioderma micellar waters and rate the Sensibio as great for wiping off SPF and makeup gently with cotton pads.

“personally i love bioderma micellars - the sensibio is great”

Switched to it as a first cleanse on their dermatologist's advice after oil cleansers broke them out.

“i am using micellar water now instead (Bioderma Sensibio)”

Fungal-acne safe and saved their skin, alongside the Vanicream cleanser.

“You should try the vanicream gentle facial cleanser and the bioderma micellar water. Both are fungal acne safe, and has saved my skin tbh”

Five years on super-sensitive, acne-prone skin; no breakouts with double cleansing.

“My skin is SUPER SENSITIVE and acne prone .. no micellar water/ eye remover has ever worked for me better than bioderma’s sensibio”

Fine for a decade, but recent bottles stung their eyes and may have triggered perioral dermatitis.

“This absolutely made my eyes sting, and I think it caused perioral dermatitis. I've used this product for a decade with no issue, but my last two bottles have been awful”

After 15 years of use, the rebranded bottles sometimes sting their eyes.

“I’ve used this product for over 15 years and I’ve noticed since the branding changing and the micellar water bottle looks different, my eyes have been stinging occasionally”

Started using it and is breaking out.

“I’m 65 and starting using the biiderma sensibio miscellaneous cleanser and I’m breaking out”

Used on and off for a year; suspects it caused their breakouts.

“I've used the sensibio micellar for over a year on and off. I kept wondering if it was the source of my breakouts.”

Their holy grail cleanser: the only one that doesn't dry out or irritate their sensitive skin.

“Out of all the cleansers I've tried in the past year, this is literally the only one that doesn't dry out or irritate my skin.”

Rated 4.5/5 holy grail: gentle, reliable makeup and sunscreen remover.

“The original one with the pink cap. Just a really reliable, gentle micellar water that removes sunscreen and makeup effectively.”

Cleans better than Garnier and CeraVe, fully removes sunscreen and feels more hydrating.

“I recently bought the Bioderma Sensibio micellar water. I was using Garnier and CeraVe micellar waters. The Bioderma is much nicer in my opinion.”

Their all-time favourite; removes sunscreen, though mineral or tinted needs a second pass.

“This is hands down my all time favorite, bring with me if I was stranded on a deserted island, product. It definitely removes sunscreen.”

Works well, but they prefer Garnier's pink-cap micellar water.

“I am using up a big bottle of it now. It works well but I think the Garnier with the pink top works better”

Two to three weeks of use broke them out for months.

“my skin broke out and took me solid 2/3 months to get back to my clear skin when i only used the h2o for like 2/3 weeks.”

Calls Bioderma Sensibio H2O the gentlest cleanser they know: it was the only thing their skin could tolerate while on Accutane.

“The most gentle cleanser you can use in my experience is Sensibio H2O micellar water. This was the only thing my skin could tolerate when I was taking accutane.”

Patch-testing it gave them bumps behind the ear.

“now I have 4 bumps behind my left ear on my neck”

Their favourite micellar water.

“If you're looking for a new micellar water, I really love Bioderma's sensibio one.”

Less irritating to the eyes than Garnier, with less residue, and a little goes further.

“the Bioderma is a lot less irritating to the eyes and leaves less residue behind”

No eye stinging or itching unlike Garnier; worth the extra money.

“The Garnier stung my eyes a lot and took more work to take off makeup. After I switched I also realized that it made my eyes itch and with the Bioderma I don't have those issues anymore”

No filmy or sticky feel as a morning rinse.

“I also use the Bioderma Sensibio and it doesn't leave a filmy or sticky feeling on my face”

No stickiness on sensitive skin; sometimes needs a second swipe for sunscreen.

“I've got sensitive skin, I use Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water sometimes. I don't have any problems with feeling sticky afterwards.”

Caused redness and irritation, especially around the eyes.

“I got a lot of redness and irritation specially in the eyes area from using Bioderma micellar water Sensibio H2O (pink).”

Their under-eye area gets dry and patchy even with heavy moisturizing.

“I use Sensibio one and my eye under eye area looks crazy”

Loves it as a makeup remover and gentle morning cleanse on oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin.

“I use Bioderma and love it, but I use it primarily as a makeup remover”

Gentler than Simple micellar water on their skin.

“after being babied and pamper with my Bioderma Sensibio, I just couldn't handle it.”

Removes face and eye makeup easily without irritation or dryness.

“it's better than anything I've used”
