Cleansing my face is one of those areas where my views have changed a lot since I developed my current skincare routine. Before I didn’t know better and used quite harsh cleansers which would often leave my skin with a tight feeling afterwards but I didn’t know that it was a bad thing. Since seeing the light I am now very strict with my cleanser choice and what I want it to deliver.
What is it?
The Bioderma Sebium Gel Moussant is a purifying cleansing foaming gel for combination to oily skin.
What they say…
Sébium Gel moussant gently cleanses and purifies the skin without drying it : containing zinc sulphate and copper sulphate, it cleanses the epidermis, reduces the number of blemishes, and limits sebum secretion. Its ultra-gentle, soap free formula respects the skin’s balance : the physiological pH is maintained and the hydrolipidic film is preserved to maintain moisture in the skin. The patented natural complex raised the skin’s tolerance threshold

How I use it
I use it once a day in my evening skincare routine. It slots in after my makeup removal step and before my toner step.
My thoughts
I’ve been using this cleanser for 2 months now and it is fits my needs for a cleanser:
- foaming – in my mind I associate foaming with a cleanser really working well!
- non-stripping – my skin does not feel tight or stripped after cleansing
- cleanses skin – after using it my skin feels cleansed and it doesn’t leave any sort of film or residue
