French manufacturers are real leaders in the field of pharmacy cosmetology. Initially, Bioderma, established in 1978, specialized in the manufacture of pharmaceutical bases. Today, the laboratory has radically changed its direction of work - Bioderma cream, compact powder, masks, micelle solutions and other cosmetics have become a real salvation for owners of problematic and sensitive skin.

Sensibio
Sensitive skin is characterized by weak pigmentation, a thin stratum corneum and a lack of lipids. Tissues are prone to redness and irritation due to internal factors (heredity, stress) and external factors (improper makeup, weather conditions).
The fair sex is often noticed around the eyes and in the nasolabial region. Thin and delicate skin needs special care. If you do not pay enough attention, then the risk of an allergic reaction and dehydration, as well as the development of skin diseases, increases several times.
Specially for sensitive skin, Bioderma Sensibio products have been developed. We will tell you in detail about some of the products presented in this pharmacy line.
Micelle solution
Cleansing is an important step in the care of any type of skin. By evening, not only cosmetics, but also excess sebum, keratinized cells and dust particles are on the face with a heavy load. Recently, micellar water has been especially popular with girls and women. Reviews talk about the effective removal of various contaminants. Spherical crystals, or micelles, deactivate chemicals, bind and remove particles of fat.
As a basic tool, the specialists of the French brand offer Bioderma Sensibio H2O micelle solution, designed to cleanse and remove waterproof makeup from the contour of the eyes and face.
The solution perfectly moisturizes and soothes the skin, maintains a hydrolipidic balance. Free of phenoxyethanol, alkalis, flavors, parabens and alcohol.
Skin prone to rosacea and redness will use a Bioderma Sensibio AR micelle solution. The composition includes a unique Rosactiv complex, as well as extracts of aloe, ginkgo biloba and cucumber, which provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
A little more about cleansing
About 10-15 years ago, only in the collections of “luxury” and pharmacy brands was micellar water. Product reviews for Bioderma have always been excellent. Compared to budget competitors, Sensibio H2O really removes permanent makeup and perfectly cleanses the skin.
In addition to two types of micelle solutions, in the line for sensitive skin are presented:
- Sensibio Lait. Milk gently cleanses the skin, soothes and softens the epidermis.
- Sensibio Tonique. The tonic instantly refreshes and tones, and also increases the effectiveness of moisturizing and soothing treatments. Contains allantoin, fructooligosaccharides and cucumber extract.
Perfect cream
In addition to cleansers, the Bioderma Sensibio collection also includes cosmetics for the care. Three means of the French brand successfully cope with redness on the skin .
Sensibio AR Bioderm Cream reduces the intensity of redness and soothes the skin. The long-lasting effect is provided by the Rosactiv formula, which controls the expansion of capillaries.
Sensitive skin reacts sharply even to changing weather conditions. The cream protects against cold, wind and heat.
Due to the absence of flavorings and colorings, Sensibio AR is well tolerated. The non-greasy and light texture provides comfort when applying the cream.
The fair sex uses Bioderma Sensibio AR as a foundation for makeup. The tool is used twice a day on cleansed skin.
Bb-cream
It is very difficult for girls and women suffering from rosacea and rosacea to refuse decorative cosmetics. You want to mask redness on the skin, but a large amount of foundation or powder can only worsen the situation. Sensibio AR BB Cream comes to the rescue. It works due to the complexes Rosactiv and DAF, which increase the threshold of skin sensitivity and prevent the appearance of redness.
Mineral microparticles of the cream give the skin a velvet glow without shine, even out complexion, hide visible imperfections. The innovative structure provides reliable protection, but does not interfere with skin respiration.
The product has UV protection (SPF 30) and an unobtrusive aroma, does not contribute to the appearance of black dots.
BB-cream AR (Bioderma Sensibio) reviews have been mixed. Some girls scold the cream and talk about uneven application, others put a solid “five” for the fight against rosacea, moisturizing and radiance of the skin.
Compact powder
Daily masking and soothing care for sensitive skin with dilated capillaries can provide the compact powder Sensibio AR, which is available in two shades.
The delicate texture is easily applied to the skin and reliably hides redness, evens out complexion. During their stay in the open sun, Bioderma laboratory experts advise updating the powder layer every two hours. Mineral screens (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) protect against the damaging effects of UV rays. Canola oil, allantoin and enoxolone are responsible for strengthening the protective barrier.
Eye gel
The area around the eyes often gives out not only the age of the fair sex, but also a lifestyle. You can fight with dark circles, swelling and small wrinkles using the Sensio Bioderma.
Eye gel relieves irritation and discomfort, and also reduces sensitivity. Thanks to the active ingredients of the Toleridin complex, small wrinkles are smoothed out and swelling goes away.
The product is well tolerated, does not contain preservatives and dyes. Suitable as a base for makeup.
Girls and women agree that it is Sensibio eye gel that is an indispensable assistant for the care of sensitive skin around the eyes. It easily copes with allergies to other cosmetics and moisturizes effectively from the first seconds of application.
Soothing mask
No less popular among owners of sensitive skin is the Bioderma Sensibio mask (price from 1,500 rubles). Dermatologists recommend the procedure once or twice a week.
The product is applied to the face with a thick layer, washed off after 15-20 minutes with water. During this time, the mask removes redness and inflammation, restores the protective barrier and intensely moisturizes the skin.
According to reviews, the Sensibio mask has a creamy and slightly oily texture, does not spread on the face. After application, redness becomes less noticeable. The only drawback is the packaging. The product is sold in small bottles (75 ml), so it is consumed quickly enough.
Instant freshness
In the summer months, any type of skin experiences increased stress. Specialists of the French brand have developed Bioderma Sensibio dermatological water, which is suitable for adults, children and even newborns.
The balanced composition of minerals and trace elements increases the tolerance of aggressive environmental factors. The combination of zinc and mannitol quickly returns a sense of comfort and soothes the skin.
Indications for use:
- removal of the remains of a mask or cream;

- makeup fixation.
Sensibio water is sprayed as needed onto clean and dry skin. No flavoring or coloring.
Makeup base
As a base for makeup, the Sensibio line offers Tolerance + cream, which reduces the sensitivity to makeup.
The product is based on the exclusive Neurocontrol complex with a combination of active ingredients and tetrapeptide. Due to their action, there is a control of the excitability of nerve fibers and the regulation of mechanisms responsible for increased skin sensitivity.
It does not contain parabens, fragrances and preservatives, and also does not provoke the formation of comedones.
Tolerance + intensively moisturizes, relieves the feeling of discomfort and tightness.
Proper care
Owners of sensitive skin are definitely not envious. It is necessary to constantly think about how a person will react to changes in weather conditions or to substances in cosmetics.
Depending on the causes of sensitivity, dermatologists distinguish four types:
- Weak skin. It can be very thin and dry from birth. Due to a deficiency in fat production, a lack of protective pigment is observed. There is weak skin in red-haired and blondes with green or blue eyes.
- Diseases Skin can become sensitive due to internal problems in the body: gastrointestinal diseases, allergies, endocrine disorders, foci of local infection.
- Improper care. The destruction of the protective layer of the epidermis occurs due to the lack of basic care or the use of cosmetics based on mineral oils.
- Stress. If an increase in skin sensitivity occurs suddenly, and then disappears after a short period of time, then stress and nervous disorders are most often considered the cause.
The most correct decision is a medical examination. Depending on the cause of the sensation, only a dermatologist can advise on suitable cosmetics. Pay attention to all stages of cleansing, because they are the basis for healthy and radiant skin. Always protect your face from direct sunlight.
