Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant bottle

Bioderma is a cult brand among pharmacy products. Their Sensibio line is legendary for sensitive skin and this foaming gel continues the tradition.

We tested it for 4 weeks on sensitive and reactive skin. Result? Deservedly cult status.

Sensibio micellar water has iconic status. Gel Moussant deserves the same attention.

Bioderma uses patented D.A.F. complex (Dermatological Advanced Formulation) that respects the skin's natural barrier.

Performance & Results

9.5/10

Bioderma Sensibio Gel Moussant is a masterpiece in gentle cleansing. After 4 weeks:

Gentleness: Absolutely no irritation even on the most sensitive skin. D.A.F. complex really works.

Cleansing: Effective removal of impurities and light makeup. Foam is rich but gentle.

Hydration: Unlike many foaming cleansers, doesn't leave skin feeling tight.

Long-term: Skin is calmer, less reactive after several weeks of regular use.

Texture & Application

9/10

Clear gel that transforms into rich, creamy foam. Luxurious feel at pharmacy price.

During application: Small amount creates enough foam. Foam is silky.

Rinsing: Rinses easily, leaves no film.

Scent: Almost fragrance-free - just gentle, clean perfume. Suitable even for sensitive noses.
