I must thank my favorite makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge for introducing me to Bioderma Sensibio H20. She mentioned in a video a few years back that this was her HG product to remove makeup and that made me sit up and take notice. Bioderma at that time was not available in India so I waited for my trip to Paris to get hold of this wonder product. I went crazy at a French pharmacy and bought two huge 500 ml bottles that lasted me pretty much the entire second half of 2014. Now that Bioderma is officially available in India (Nykaa, Wellness Forever and Noble Chemist), it is time I do a review.
First, let’s start by explaining what exactly is Micellar water and why is it good for the skin.
Originating in France, micellar water gained its name because of the micelles oil molecules in its water-like formula of ingredients. When applied to the skin, these molecules latch onto the dirt, make-up and other impurities sitting on your skin, removing them in an effective and gentle matter. They feel – and look – like a toner, but excel at cleansing the skin, while also leaving it feeling soft and hydrated. There’s no need to rinse after using micellar water, making it a skin-loving version of the traditional face wipe.
