Bioderma Sensibio Cleansing Milk For Sensitive Skin 250 Ml

A first impression

A soft, white milk that reminds you why French pharmacies quietly kept faith with cleansing milks long after the rest of the beauty world fell for foaming gels. Sensibio Milk cleanses without stripping, and feels almost nourishing in the hand – which is the point.

Why eMaison chose it

Somewhere between forty and fifty, foaming cleansers reveal their true nature. They leave the skin tight, the barrier a little quieter than it should be, and the next product working harder than it was designed to. Sensibio Milk is built for the opposite – a low-surfactant, creamy cleanse developed by Bioderma for sensitive and reactive skin, with the brand's D.A.F. patent designed to support skin tolerance over time. It earned its place because a good milk cleanser is increasingly rare on the UK shelves, and because the first step of a routine is where most of the trouble begins.

How it fits into your rituals

Evening, as a second cleanse. Apply a generous amount to dry or damp skin, massage gently over face and neck for about a minute, then remove with a warm flannel or rinse with tepid water. Use with Sensibio H2O as a pre-cleanse on heavier makeup days. In the morning, for skin that has started to prefer a gentler wake-up, use a small amount rinsed with water – no cleanser is strictly necessary at sunrise.

What's in it

Glycerin, water, and Bioderma's patented D.A.F. complex for skin tolerance. No fragrance. Pump-dispensed bottle, which matters – milk cleansers age less gracefully in an open jar.

The honest note

If you love the squeaky-clean feel after a wash, this will take some adjusting. What you are losing is the sensation. What you are gaining is a comfortable skin barrier.
