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.
