Reviews
Here's what our community thinks
Bioderma Sébium Gel Moussant 18 ingredients
The first time I used it was on August 28, and now it's the best thing I have. It removed my acne from my face. I use it daily during the daytime and nighttime. My skin is combination to normal, and it doesn't dry out my skin 10/10
Very effective cleanser for my oily acne prone skin. In winter, my cheeks tend to get a little bit dry. So I wouldn't recommend it to dry skin people to use it in winter. But for summer, this is the best cleanser for me.
