[Review] My current love, Bioderma ♥

Hello, Lovely! ♥

Back to another product reviews, I wanna review my currently "in love" product. They're somewhat cool for me. They're great products and are safe for sensitive skin! It should be your favorite if you're in difficulty to find right products.

It is Bioderma. Do you know Bioderma? It is one of famous skincare brand from France. :D

Bioderma Laboratories is a privately owned French pharmaceutical company that specialises in medication for dermatological and hair / scalp conditions, as well as for Pediatry and cell regeneration. - Wikipedia

Does it sounds promising? :P

One of the most popular product from Bioderma is Sensibio H2O. Sensibio H2O is a non-rinse product and it won't leave any residue on your skin. Moreover. this product is so watery, no alcohol and no paraben. What a great product! :D

And, Bioderma is now available in Indonesia. I was not into skincare thingy for years until I got too much black heads on my face. So, I tried to find many kinds of skincare but I am still very picky! Because my blackheads and acne will always come when I use wrong products, especially facial wash.

Well, I've used Sensibio H2O for months and I love it!

I was ran out of facial foam and make up remover, so I decided to buy both of them. I asked my mom to buy them since she was going to mall. I asked her to purchase Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant and Sébium H2O since my skin type is oily one. However, I forgot I had purchased Sensibio H2O one --" *Stupid Me* So, I have two make up remover right now.

And these were the products I had:

They're simple.. So simple. Let's review them:

First review is Sébium Gel Moussant:

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):

It's quite tall and not too bulky bottle. It is on thick clear plastic with green pump. However, it is "still" very tall to bring it everywhere (I mean, it is not for travelling purpose :P). Nothing special on this packaging because it really looks like a dermatology skin product. :3

♥♥♥ Description and Ingredients (3/5): 

They have clear statements about their products! They put it on 2 languages, French and English. However, the English one is covered by a label. The label is in Bahasa.

And since the ingredients list is difficult to capture, I will type it:

WATER (AQUA), SODIUM COCOAMPHOACETATE, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, METHYLPROPANEDIOL, DISODIUM EDTA, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHASTEARATE, LACTIC ACID, LAURETH-2, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).

They have turquoise color but I don't know which "ingredient" makes it turn into turquoise. I tried to find its ingredients on Google and got some from Makeup Alley and CosDNA. Based on those site, I found "Ginkgo Biloba Extract". Perhaps it is because that extract, that is why the product has turquoise color.

If you compare it to those site, they have many differences on the list -_-" Dunno which one is true?

"Paraben Free" is labelled on mine. Perhaps, those site are true ones. Duh -_-" But I've asked Bioderma Indonesia on their Facebook Pages and they said that the product is Paraben free. So, which one is true? Meh :/

♥♥♥ Hygiene Level (5/5):

Simple. It is wrapped on plastic. If the plastic is torn, no need to buy. It is exactly hygienic because it has (roll? no! glide? ah what kind of pump it is!) simple pump. If you want to use this foam, just turn left :D

  

♥♥♥ Scent (3/5):

The scent is soooo medicine :s I don't like it.. It has similar scent to Sébium H2O one. On Sébium H2O, Ginkgo Biloba is written in the ingredients. Yep, it perhaps a "ginkgo" scent.

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (3/5):

It is quite ordinary facial foam. The only special thing is no foam. As my pic above, I put it on my hand and pour little water (and sure, I blended it). It doesn't produce any foam. It is good.

Most of all foam is from Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES). Based on this site, it can harm the vision of young people. If you find warnings on many shampoos and foams, you will know it why.   

Based on the ingredients, they don't have SLS. Such a good product (and perhaps, they're into organic product) :)

For Period After Usage (PAO) is in 6 months and the expiry date is printed on the bottom of the bottle. Do't forget to check its PAO and expiry date ;)

The whole result is 3.5. Such a small result! The gel foam is quite good and leaves cool effect on my skin, but I will think twice to repurchase. :/ But if you want to find SLS free facial foam, grab it! ;)

And let's go to the second review:

P.S: I will review both Sensibio H2O and Sébium H2O.

   

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):

The packaging reminds me of many dermatology skin products. They are in simple and clear plastic and they are not into decorations or cutey packaging. They're quite bulky and they're not travel-friendly. Need their travel-size product? They provide some. ;) The smallest size is in 100ml. You are safe to bring it everywhere!

And every line has their own color. Light red one is for Sensibio (sensitive skin) and Green is for Sébium (oily/combination skin).

 

Ingredients:

Sensibio H2O:

WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE.

Sébium H2O:

WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, SODIUM CITRATE , ZINC GLUCONATE, COPPER SULFATE, GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).

♥♥♥ Description and Ingredients (4/5): 

Just like the gel moussant, they're such having clear statements about their products! They put it on 2 languages, French and English and the English one is covered by a label. The labels are definitions in Bahasa. Uh yey. For the ingredients itself, they are slightly different. 

If you think that Sébium one has coloring, you are wrong! They have no coloring here. It is blue since it has Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract. Based on this site, Ginkgo leaf can help protect skin from redness and inflammation during exposure to UVA/UVB light in a lab setting.

The only thing I don't like is "Fragrance". I don't know why they put it on Sébium one -_-"

P.S: Do take a note on their PADs (Period After Opening). They have different PADs. Sensibio H2O is in 12 months and Sébium is in 9 months.

The blue looks pretty here *o*. No, it's not blue. It's turquoise. 

♥♥♥ Hygiene Level (5/5):

They must be well-know of their hygiene product. They have quite good seal on Sensibio and Sébium H2O. The seal is quite strong but it's quite easy to remove the seal.  And they also have tight caps. They don't let you pour their products everywhere ;)

♥♥♥ Scent (4/5):

For the scents, they have strong natural scents. For Sensibio, it is so "Cucumber" and Sébium is so "Ginkgo Biloba". If you have ever taken any Ginkgo medicine, you will find Sébium has that kind of scent :3 Unfortunately, I don't like its scent because so "medicine" :/

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (3/5):
Since it is non-rinse cleanser, it must need more time to remove all of the make up. As you can see those photos, they are not cleaning as much as oil-based remover one. It needs to swipe 3-4 times on your face.
But don't worry, it won't leave any residue anymore. And no need to rinse! ^3^ It freshens my skin.

My whole result is 4. Nice meh? :D
But well, you need to pay it in a high price. They're quite expensive but they're that worthy!!

P.S: Don't forget to check its expiry date ;) It is embossed on the bottom of the bottle.

And so, if you want to find them, you can buy it on Guardian stores in Jabodetabek, Bali, Surabaya and more. You can ask the availability on their Facebook Pages and Official Twitter :)

For the price, I was not sure because I lost my bill  -_-" But each products is approximately Rp. 200.000 (USD 17). Quite expensive, but they are worthy :3

And last but not the least, thanks for reading ♥♥♥
