Bioderma Sensibio H2O Solution Micellaire review by E2E Beauty

This is my third or forth bottle of Bioderma Solution Micellaire I have used (at least, might have been more but I lost track). I have had both the 500ml version and the 250ml. Both versions come with the same type of dispenser and packaging.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Centrimonium Bromide. (Source: back of the bottle :) ).

This product is targeted for sensitive skin and is hypoallergenic. The texture is basically like water and it has no scent.
At the beginning I used to rave about this product, plus years back there weren't too many products on the market similar (unlike now when many brands have their own cleansing waters). Don't get me wrong I still love it, and will purchase it again most likely, however I feel this is not enough anymore for my everyday cleansing routine.

In order to demonstrate how good it cleanses I have added on my hand BB cream, foundation, liquid eye liner, waterproof mascara, eyeliner, lip stain and eyeshadow (order from left to right).

I put a generous amount of product on a big cotton pad and this is how it looked after one swipe.

 

 After I gently swiped the cotton pad on my arm multiple times, all the product was gone except the waterproof mascara, and vague traces of eyeliner and lip tint.

After I rubbed more vigorously only the waterproof mascara left. After intense rubbing it cleansed everything eventually, but that is not something I want to do especially on my eye area.

I think it's a great cleanser for face make-up, but to be honest I wouldn't recommend it for the eye make up especially if you like to wear waterproof products. However even for face makeup you need to use quite some product to make sure it removed everything, so I don't use it for removing make-up anymore.

I do love to use it in the morning to remove all the oils and dirt that gathered on the surface of my skin overnight.
Would I still recommend it? To be honest yes, as it's great for sensitive skin, gentle and in the end it does it's job of removing make-up. But I would still recommend to use a separate eye make-up remover.
