SAVING FACE

In our quest for the perfect skin tools, we’ve landed on the ultimate game-changers. Meet your new skin saviours: Bioderma’s Sensibio H20 and Photoderm Aquafluid – thank us later

There’s nothing worse than waking up and finding smudges of foundation welded into your pillow after you thought you had wiped every inch of your makeup off the night before. Our idea of a winning A-Z skincare routine is one that starts with a cleanser that removes the grime in just a few magical swipes. Bioderma’s Sensibio H20 gets rid of 99 per cent of your makeup and eliminates 98 per cent of fine particles meaning your skin can breathe without residue clogging up your pores. And, the micellar water ingredients are a combination of purified water and hydrating ingredients such as glycerin and low concentrations of extremely mild surfactants – which basically means, no alcohol, so it’s very friendly for all skin types. Its biological mode of action preserves and strengthens the skin, which means it will look like a blank canvas, perfect for makeup application. Snoop into any celebrity’s medical cabinet and you’re guaranteed to find bottles of Bioderma’s Sensibio H20 lined up.

And here's a note-worthy finishing touch to add to your skincare routine (and glossary) – Photoderm Aquafluid. It’s basically Bioderma’s biological answer to facing the sun with the full protection of SPF50+/ UVA 29. Thanks to a combination of two key ingredients starting with mannitol: a powerful anti-radical that protects your DNA of keratinocytes subjected to UV rays and then ectoin which limits the migration of langerhans cells and prevents ageing caused by the sun. In short, your skin is totally protected.

Both these iconic cult products are not only effective, Bioderma work alongside dermatologists to develop them. Need more convincing? We think not…
