Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water Face Cleanser for Sensitive Skin

by Bioderma · skin_care

Editor's Take

PEG-6 keeps this benchmark from feeling fully current, but Bioderma still outcleans most micellar waters without turning sensitive skin into collateral damage.

Four-pillar formula scores

  • Performance: 7.8 / 10
  • Innovative Ingredients: 6.8 / 10
  • Clean Standards: 7.8 / 10
  • Formula Sustainability: 7.0 / 10

The Verdict

Efficacy is Excellent at 7.8, with PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides lifting sunscreen, makeup, and daily grime without a harsh surfactant mix. Clean is Excellent at 7.8, while Mannitol, Xylitol, and Rhamnose support the formula’s sensitive-skin focus. The micellar design and sugar complex are modern; the ethoxylated surfactant base is legacy. It remains the category yardstick, though not the greener one.
