Daily advices
BIODERMA invented micellar water in 1991, revolutionising the way people remove make-up and cleanse their skin every day.
These days, one bottle of Sensibio H2O is sold every 3 seconds worldwide. Bioderma’s micellar solutions are the ideal alternative to the make-up remover + toner combination.
They are based on micellar technology, but their exclusive components and formulas make them completely unique.
Micellar water removes all traces of make-up, sebum and various other impurities without stripping or damaging skin, all in one step. Micellar water is perfect for your daily cleansing routine. Use in the morning and at night to gently cleanse while respecting even the most sensitive epidermal skin.
It works especially well for people with reactive or intolerant skin for whom even rubbing with cotton wool can cause irritation.
A micelle is a complex structure composed of gentle non-ionic surfactants (cleansing agents), in the form of an invisible microsphere.
Micelles have 2 characteristics:
This double affinity allows them to attract all kinds of impurities and attach them to the cotton wool. This means they can remove external residues from the environment (make-up, impurities from air pollution, etc.) and impurities related to the skin’s natural functions (sebum, sweat, desquamation, etc.)
BIODERMA’s micellar solutions are recommended by dermatologists and make-up professionals love them.
They are the leading micellar products because they are made from rigorously selected ingredients.
These include:
They are hypoallergenic and contain no alcohol and parabens, perfectly matching with the skin and preserving its hydrolipidic film.
Tap water has calcium and chlorine, which may irritate the skin. Thermal waters have no cleansing properties. Their composition varies depending on the season, region and more.
Laboratoire Bioderma has designed specific micellar solutions based on what each skin type needs. They provide perfect tolerance and optimal comfort for all skin types, including sensitive, intolerant and oily. They even have a product designed for delicate baby skin.
Your skin has its own type and condition. Therefore, you need to choose micellar water that suits your skin’s character.
They have similar function which is to remove make- up, but micellar water and make- up remover have different benefits for the skin. The make- up remover contains oil which makes it easier to remove thick and waterproof makeup. The oil content is only able to cleanse the outermost part of the skin,leaving dirt and make- up on the inner layer of the skin. Meanwhile, micellar water which contains micelles is more effective in removing make- up and dirt (sebum, sweat, desquamation) to the deep layers of the skin. Micellar water also has a lighter texture and does not give oily feels after usage, an after-effect you may find from using a make- up remover. There are special ingredients to moisturize and treat the skin. Making micellar water more suitable for daily use.
Micellar water can be used as needed. If you use thick make up daily, it is advisable to use a make- up remover first to remove make- up. Further cleanse with micellar water to remove make-up debris, dirt & pollution in the deeper skin layers. If you use light make up daily or not using any, you can immediately use micellar water after washing your face to remove pollution, sweat and sebum on the skin.
