A gentle balm cleanser for acne-prone skin dried out by treatments
Bioderma Sébium Hydra Cleanser is a soothing cleansing balm for combination to oily, acne-prone skin that has become dry and fragile under drying acne treatments, whether oral or topical. Its biomimetic formula (93% biomimetic ingredients) and physiological pH make it very well tolerated. Mild cleansing agents trap impurities in micelles without stripping the skin, while an NMF-like biomimetic sugar replenishes water reserves and shea oil restores comfort. Bioderma’s patented D.A.F. complex raises the skin’s tolerance threshold to calm irritation, for 24-hour hydration after rinsing.
The texture
A soft balm that turns into a light, creamy lather with water. It rinses cleanly and leaves skin comfortable, not tight.
Who it suits
- Acne-prone skin on drying treatments
- Oily skin that feels tight and irritated after cleansing
- Combination skin needing a gentle morning and evening wash
- Teenagers and adults with fragile, reactive breakouts
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance. It cleans gently but is not an active acne treatment, so keep the treatment or serum your routine relies on.
How long one tube lasts
Used morning and evening, the 200ml tube lasts about 2 months.
