**BIODERMA** is a skincare brand founded in 1985 by French pharmacist Jean-Noël Thorel in Lyon, France. The company develops and manufactures its products under strict quality control in its production facilities and research labs, which are located in the lush natural environment of southeastern France. Today, BIODERMA is recognized as one of the leading dermocosmetic brands (a category between cosmetics and dermatological treatments), highly praised by dermatologists in France. The brand is now sold in over 90 countries and enjoys widespread support from women worldwide.

Here, we introduce **Sebium Foaming Washing Gel**, a rinse-off facial cleanser designed to address skin issues such as oiliness and shine.

The **Sebium** series is specifically formulated for sensitive skin, especially for those with oily or combination skin. If you have dry or very dry skin, we recommend trying the **Sensibio** series instead.

**Product Description**

During puberty, the skin undergoes changes, and for many people, this leads to acne or other sebum-related problems. In some cases, these issues persist even after puberty. Oily or combination skin tends to produce more sebum, which leads to enlarged pores, thicker skin, dullness, and shine. Acne scars can also form.

BIODERMA offers a solution for those struggling with oil-related issues with its unique patented **Fluidactiv®** complex. Composed of ginkgo biloba extract and mannitol, **Fluidactiv®** is a proprietary ingredient in all Sebium products. It helps prevent the oxidation of sebum that can clog pores, while maintaining the sebum in a fluid state, preventing the formation of comedones (clogged pores) and reducing the likelihood of acne. This results in skin that is less prone to oil-related issues.

**Sebium Foaming Washing Gel** is a gel-type facial cleanser. With a rich foaming texture, it is effective as a light makeup remover while thoroughly cleansing the skin of excess sebum. After washing, the skin feels fresh and hydrated without the tightness often caused by other cleansers.

It is mildly acidic, gentle on the skin, and free from colorants, alcohol, and oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin that reacts to even mild irritation. While not completely fragrance-free, it has a light, refreshing scent.

The blue color of the liquid in the Sebium series is due to the natural color of copper sulfate, an ingredient used in the formulation. You can use it with peace of mind.

**How to Use**

You can use this product for your morning and evening facial cleansing routine.

- Wet your hands and face lightly.
- Take an appropriate amount of the gel (a small amount, about the size of a pea) and add a little water to create a lather.
- Gently massage the foam onto your face, ensuring that it mixes well with any oil or impurities.
- Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of the cleanser and impurities.
- After washing, gently pat your face dry with a towel to absorb excess water.

**Customer Reviews**

- "The lather is not great. Even when I use a net to foam it up, it doesn’t produce as much foam as I expected. But the washing experience is fine. After cleansing, my skin feels smooth, and it doesn't feel tight. I like the scent, so I think I’ll repurchase."

- "The foam doesn't build up well. However, I don’t mind because I don’t think the foam volume correlates with cleansing power, and the lack of surfactants might actually be a good thing. The slightly slippery finish makes me use more water to rinse it off, which isn’t ideal in the morning when I’m in a hurry."

- "I started using this after my orthodontic treatment caused acne. A pharmacy recommended it to me. The gel is a beautiful blue color. Although the foam is not great, I feel it's gentle on my skin. The slippery feeling after washing is something I can’t really fix, but I like how my skin feels afterward. It's fresh and not tight. I double wash when using waterproof sunscreen because I feel it doesn’t get fully removed in one go. I’ve noticed an improvement in my acne, though it wasn't immediate. I’ll probably repurchase."

- "I bought it because I wanted to try BIODERMA, but it didn’t seem to suit my skin. Unfortunately, it ended up as a luxury hand cream. Sometimes products don’t work for everyone."
