Bioderma Sebium H2O Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution Review: Features And Extras
This non-rinse micellar water functions as the perfect soap-free, non-greasy formula to clear makeup, remove dirt from the pores, and oil and sebum from the skin.
It is made of water and surfactants to gently remove impurities. The surfactants have two ends, a head and a tail.
The head is hydroliphic, which attracts water and repels oils, while the end is lipoliphic, which attracts oils and repels water.
When added to water, the surfactants’ molecules assemble into little groups called micelles. The water-loving heads are pointed outwards, towards the water, while the water-hating tails face inward away from it.
When applied on cotton pads, which love water too, the oil-loving ends point towards the skin and dissolve the oil, makeup, and sebum from the skin.
This micellar water can be used in both your a.m. and p.m. routines to cleanse the skin, even if you are not a makeup user. It requires no harsh rubbing or struggle to remove the residues from your skin.
It also lends a soothing, matte effect to the skin and also reduces and delays the secretion of oil and sebum.
The non-comedogenic formula has a runny, blue-ish color and has been approved by dermatologists too!
The hypoallergenic formula does not trigger reactions or allergies.

Editor’s Rating: 4.5/5
This non-comedogenic micellar water has just one little complaint against it, it requires a bit more product than usual for removing stubborn waterproof makeup. It is a superhit product otherwise. It is perfect for both indoor and outdoor skin care, even if you are in the mountains, out on a hike, or at the airports. It takes 3-5 minutes and leaves your skin squeaky clean without the need for water at all! It works effectively without triggering reactions or sensitivities; however, be extra careful while removing your eye makeup and you are all set. It shows such good results that some users have also called it “magic in a bottle”!
