Review : Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Cleansing Micelle Solution

Product Description
• A BIODERMA innovation, the patented Aquagenium^® biological complex stimulates the skin’s cellular capabilities, re-training it to generate in depth, and to lock in on the surface, the moisture essential for its balance.
• The micelles contained in its formula, in a single step, perfectly cleanse and remove make-up from the face and eyes.
• The skin immediately regains comfort, suppleness and radiance.
• Very gentle to use, Hydrabio H2O guarantees excellent skin and eye tolerance.
• The Hydrabio H2O formula is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

The famed Sensibio H20 Micellar Solution remained as one of my favourite cleansing water ( even though it does contain some not so friendly ingredients ) so when the Bioderma promoter suggested this Hydrabio H20 Micellar Solution to try out, I was hesitant. She told me the formula does not differ much except that its for sensitive dehydrated skin.

I am surprised that for something that is meant for sensitive skin, it is perfumed, as compared to Sensibio H20 Micellar Solution which is seriously for the sensitive skin.
Since its meant for dehydrated skin, the formula does contain Niacinamide which can improve skin's elasticity, dramatically enhance its barrier function, help erase discolorations, and revive skin's healthy tone and texture (source). It has a longer list of ingredients as compared to the Sensibio version.

In terms of texture and formula, it is water-based and is lightly fragranced but in a non-chemical scent. It provides a more refreshing and moisturising feel than that of Sensibio which is more gentle and mild. It removes my make-up effectively though I cannot guarantee for waterproof make-up. I have no problem in removing my eyeliner and eyeshadows with this solution but uses a separate eye make-up remover for mascara.

It is non-drying and non-greasy. I used it with cotton pads and do cleanse my face with my regular cleanser thereafter. I know of some people who do not follow up with cleansers and are fine with it.

In comparision, I preferred the Sensibio since it has a shorter ingredient list and is not perfumed.
