Bioderma Sensibio AR cream review

About 2 months ago I've run out of face cream and went to a pharmacy to search for something new. I need to point out that I have dry, sensitive skin with redness on my cheeks. 

Redness is my biggest problem, I always struggle to cover it up, especially in winter. I've seen doctors but no one told me what the problem is - when I was younger they said that it will disappear after puberty, other told me I'm allergic to carrots and oranges and red cheeks is an allergic reaction, which is complete nonsense. So no one helped me. Recently, after a lot of research on internet I've realized that I probably have Keratosis Pilaris (KP) on my face and body. There is no cure but it can be controllable. I will write a post about KP in the future.

So I've heard a lot of good things about Bioderma skincare products and decided to try it out this time. I saw this anti-redness cream for sensitive skin prone to rosacea. Pharmacist suggested me to try it out. Also, she offered to try the Bioderma's micellar water. I've wanted to try it out for so long so I've picked it too. I have a review on it here.

There is 40ml of the cream, while usually face creams has only 30ml. Cream itself is slightly yellowish, has a very soft, almost unnoticeable smell.

After using this cream for about 3 months now I can share my impression. Sadly to say - I'm disappointed. It doesn't work for my skin. Whilst using it these 3 months I haven't noticed any difference on my skin: redness is the same, no special moisturizing. I see no difference between when I have and haven't used it. But it didn't have negative impact, my skin isn't worse.

Well I regret spending so much money on it (because it isn't cheap) but I'm glad I've tried it. Sometimes good reviews doesn't mean that everyone will be satisfied with the product. Sometimes it's just marketing talks around famous brands. I don't want to argue, maybe there is a lot of people that liked Sensibio Ar but not me.

Summing up:

rating - 2/5;

will I buy it again - no.

Soon I will need a new cream. Maybe you have an antiredness, rosacea, keratosis pilaris cream to recommend?

Blogmas Day 13 / Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution

A couple of months ago I was searching for a new face cream. I've heard a lot of positive feedback about Bioderma production, so I've decided to try it out myself. I've chose face cream (which I will review in a separate post) and was watching the micellar water. I wanted to try it for a long time now, but every time it was a bit too expensive for me. But that time I saw that Bioderma has a little 100ml bottle and it was on sale that day, so I decided to treat myself.

I've been using the Bioderma micellar water for almost 2 months now and I absolutely love it. I have dry sensitive skin with Keratosis Pilaris. This water doesn't irritate my skin, calms it down and leaves a smooth feeling. This product easy and completely removes any makeup. It perfectly removes eye and face makeup. Before it any product had removed all of the foundation, but Bioderma Micelle solution does. It removes mascara and eye liner fast and easy. As for removing waterproof makeup I can't say anything, because I don't use waterproof makeup.

Micelle Solution doesn't need rinsing, but sometimes I do it, just to feel sure that my face is completely clean. It is alcohol and fragrance free. I've used less than a third over those 2 months.

I am very happy with this product. Only con I can find is the price. But on the other hand this is a great product that has a lot of pros and is worth its money. 

I would like to try out other companies micellar water (Garnier for example), cheaper ones and compare them to Bioderma. I am sure that I will repurchase it again.
