Discovering Double Cleasnsing with Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel Cleanser and H2O Micellar Water

As double (or even triple!) cleansing is becoming ever more accepted and practiced across beauty enthusiasts – after all, is there a better way to ensure your face is truly squeaky clean than to literally clean it twice?! – makeup removers have become big business. Right at the forefront of this are the micellar waters, first originating in France and taking the UK and USA by storm. Most reknown for pathing the way in micellar water cleansers are Bioderma, who’s Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel Cleanser and H2O Micellar Water have become cult products in the double cleansing limelight.

The Bioderma H20 Micellar Water is widely regarded as one of the first micellar waters in the world. As a French pharmacy brand, Bioderma know their skincare and this makeup remover-come-cleansing water is often thought of as the best in the world. And who am I to argue? Many brands, both high end and high street, have tried to recreate this gentle yet powerful cleansing solution and whilst they all do a fair enough job at removing makeup, Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water is still the winner for me. It’s the one makeup remove I always go back to as it’s wonderful at removing any trace of stubborn lipstick or waterproof mascara in a soft and gentle way.

The newest addition to the Bioderma Sensibio family for sensitive skin is the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel Cleanser. This can be used morning or night (or both!) but I personally like to use it for a double cleanse. After removing my makeup by swiping a couple of drops of the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water on a cotton wool pad over my face – being especially gentle on my eye contour – I then wet my face and lather up with the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel Cleanser. Using circular motions, this cleanser bubbles up and penetrates the pores gently to remove any leftover traces of makeup and cleanse the skin deep down.

Double cleansing with the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel Cleanser and H2O Micellar Water has become a welcome addition to my evening skincare routine as a basic step to ensuring my face is as clean as possible, without stripping away any skin cells and making sure I am gentle and kind to my skin. Sometimes, if I’m feeling fancy, I finish off with an oil or balm cleanser for a moment of luxury, but often times I use a toner before trying out a new serum or moisturiser – leaving my face feeling so fresh, so clean.
