A calming cleanser for red, flaky patches around the nose, brows and scalp line
Bioderma Sensibio DS+ Purifying Soothing Cleansing Gel is a soothing, purifying cleanser for sensitive skin prone to redness and flaking, especially on the oily zones of the face. It cleans gently at a physiological pH while tackling the causes of those patches. The DSactiv patent helps limit sebum and the growth of Malassezia, a yeast that can worsen irritation, while ammonium glycyrrhizate calms redness and discomfort. The D.A.F. patent raises the skin's tolerance threshold, so it reacts less to everyday irritants. With regular use, skin looks less red, feels less itchy and shows fewer scales.
The texture
A clear gel that turns into a light foam with water and rinses off cleanly. It is fragrance-free and soap-free, and leaves the skin feeling clean without tightness. It can also be used on the scalp line, eyebrows and beard area.
Who it suits
- Sensitive skin with redness and flaking around the nose, eyebrows, forehead or beard
- Oily zones that also feel irritated and itchy
- Men with flaky patches in the beard
- Anyone whose regular cleanser seems to make redness worse
Worth knowing before you buy: It contains a mild sulfate (sodium laureth sulfate). Pair it with the Sensibio DS+ Cream for best results on persistent patches; the cleanser alone may not be enough for very visible flaking.
How long one tube lasts
Used morning and evening on the face, the 200ml tube lasts about 2 months, a little less if you also use it on the scalp line or beard.
