For the past 41 years, Bioderma has been dedicated to advancing skin biology. Their relentless commitment to innovation and collaboration with healthcare professionals globally has positioned them as leaders in promoting skin health.
In the pursuit of making healthy skin universally accessible, Bioderma offers tailored solutions for various skin concerns, collaborating with professionals to preserve skin health and address dysfunctions like sensitivity, hyperpigmentation, dry to atopic, and acne-prone skin. Bioderma targets specific needs by addressing the underlying causes of biological dysfunctions through their cleanse and treat offerings. This means that skin concerns are not just treated symptomatically, but that the root of the concern is addressed in an effort to heal the skin and improve its health.
In 1991, Bioderma revolutionised skincare with the invention of micellar water, introducing a one-step solution for makeup removal and skin cleansing. Today, the globally acclaimed Sensibio H2O is sold every 3 seconds worldwide. Bioderma’s micellar solutions, known for their exclusive components and formulas, offer a unique approach to daily skincare. Infused with micellar technology, these solutions effortlessly cleanse makeup, sebum and impurities in a single step, making them ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and intolerant skin.
Step one – Take care of the skin, starting with cleansing:
Perfectly cleansed skin is a prerequisite for healthy skin. Cleansing is the first step in caring for skin, as washing the face can have important consequences on the skin’s balance and effectiveness as a protective barrier, as well as optimising the effectiveness of all cosmetic products.
In the morning, when the skin assumes the role of a frontline defender against daily challenges, the significance of a thorough cleanse becomes paramount. This ritual is a vital process, removing impurities accumulated during the night’s peak cellular activity. Beyond fortifying the skin, this morning cleanse readies it to absorb the creams and care products tailored for the day ahead.
As the skin actively engages in renewal, detoxification, and regenerative functions to eliminate daily impurities, it naturally becomes more permeable. However, this heightened permeability also exposes it to potential external aggressors. This underscores the crucial nature of an evening cleanse, creating a protective barrier against factors that could otherwise penetrate more easily.
Avoiding harsh cleansing products is key to maintaining a balanced and resilient skin. Cleansing products should protect and strengthen the skin’s natural defenses. Bioderma’s innovations, like the micellar waters, preserve the hydrolipidic film, contributing to the skin barrier function.
Step two – Treat specific skin concerns:
Bioderma offers targeted responses for every skin problem, with products that address the causes of skin dysfunctions, going beyond symptoms, to help the skin reactivate its natural biological functions. This tailored approach allows individuals to choose a cleanse and treat product from the range that suits their specific skin types.
Bioderma introduces a range of new serums carefully tailored to different skin types. Empower your skin from within with formulations enriched with hyaluronic acid, our ecobiological serums are designed to address specific skin needs, acting at the root of each concern before visible signs emerge. Plus, in addition to addressing your unique skin concern, Bioderma serums also offer anti-ageing benefits by feeding the skin with essential nutrients to preserve its health and prolong its youthfulness.
Combination to acne-prone skin
For mild to moderate acne, use Sébium Active Foaming Gel (200ml R360.00) in the morning and/or evening. For oily-combination or congested skin, the active cleanser can be applied once or twice a week for a deeper cleanse to unclog pores, along with the Sèbium Foaming Gel Cleanser used daily.
For delicate and sensitive skin, opt for a gentle purifying cleanser like Sébium Foaming Gel Cleanser (100ml R175.00, 200ml R300.00, 500ml R460.00). Use morning and evening, seven days a week.

Treat with the NEW Sébium Serum (30ml R470.00), the first anti-imperfections and signs of ageing ecobiological serum. The complementary action of precisely dosed active ingredients (salicylic acid, acetyl glucosamine, hyaluronic acid) and the Technology FLUIDACTIV™ act immediately on the visible signs and the root causes of acne-prone adult skin.
Benefits include:
– Anti-imperfections: Salicylic acid exfoliates the skin’s surface, swiftly reducing pimples, while the Fluidactiv Technology biologically hinders sebum oxidation, preventing the emergence of new imperfections.
– Anti-marks: Salicylic acid acts on the skin’s surface, promoting renewal, while acetyl glucosamine, a biomimetic sugar derivative naturally present in the skin, encourages cell renewal from within.
– Smoothing effect: Biomimetic Hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin surface, and acetyl glucosamine stimulates internal hyaluronic acid synthesis, contributing to long-lasting reduction of fine lines.
Sensitive skin
Sensibio Foaming Gel (100ml R170.00, 200ml R315.00) is a calming micellar cleansing gel that strengthens the skin’s natural hydration. Ideal for morning and evening use, it provides a soothing and effective cleansing experience.

– Double Soothing Action: Red sage polyphenols effectively curb skin hyper-reactivity and inflammation triggered by pollution, addressing both neurogenic and induced inflammation. The inclusion of fucose polymer ensures immediate and long-term action, preventing chronic inflammation, especially neurogenic inflammation.
Dehydrated skin
For face and body care, cleanse with Atoderm Shower Gel (200ml R279.00, 500ml R389.00). This gentle cleansing gel is soap-free, respecting the skin. It’s perfect for daily use, once or twice a day, every day of the week. Ideal for normal to dry sensitive skin, it provides a soothing experience.
Cleanse with Hydrabio H2O (100ml R185.00, 250ml R299.00, 500ml R415.00). For dehydrated skin, Hydrabio H2O micellar water cleanses, removes makeup, and provides hydration, thanks to its patented Aquagenium™ formula that stimulates the skin’s ability to reactivate its natural hydration process.
Treat with the NEW Hydrabio Hyalu+ Serum (30ml R720.00). This ecobiological self-rehydrating and replumping serum stimulates the neosynthesis of hyaluronic acid for radiant skin. Hydrabio Hyalu+ serum moisturises intensely, restores volume and suppleness to the skin, and strengthens the skin’s barrier function.
The synergistic effect of thoughtfully measured active ingredients, including biomimetic low molecular weight (LMW) hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, carnosine, and Hyalu+ Technology (a blend of biomimetic high molecular weight (HMW) Hyaluronic Acid and a self-rehydrating sugar), addresses both the internal causes of dehydration and the visible signs of aging for enduring efficacy.
Benefits include:
– Immediate moisturising and plumping action: HMW hyaluronic acid forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, preventing water loss, complemented by a new self-rehydrating sugar that aids in strengthening and preserving natural hyaluronic acid in the skin.
– Plumping and toning action using LMW hyaluronic acid, stimulating collagen synthesis for increased firmness and elasticity.
– Strengthening action using niacinamide, reinforcing the skin’s barrier function to reduce dehydration.
Hyperpigmented skin
Use Pigmentbio Foaming Cream (200ml R325.00) daily on face and body. It’s an exfoliating cleanser that brightens the skin right from the shower. The cream promotes the fading of dark spots and prevents their reappearance.
