Bioderma Sebium Sensitive Soothing Anti-Blemish Cream for Weakened Acne-Prone Skin, 30ml

Bioderma Sebium Sensitive addresses a specific and common situation: acne-prone skin that has become red, tight and reactive because of the treatments used on it. Benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and acids all work, but they leave the skin barrier struggling, and at that point most people either give up or push on and make it worse. This cream is built for that middle ground.

Specs

• Form: Soothing anti-blemish cream
• Volume: 30ml
• Skin type: Acne-prone skin that has become sensitised
• Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic
• Range: Bioderma Sebium

Benefits

• Most acne routines fail on tolerance rather than on the active. Skin that stings and flakes is skin that stops being treated
• Being non-comedogenic is essential here. A soothing cream that blocks pores would trade one problem for another
• Works alongside a prescribed or over-the-counter acne treatment rather than replacing it
• A 30ml tube is a sensible size for a face-only product used twice daily
• Bioderma is a common recommendation in dermatology settings for reactive skin, which is the situation this cream is aimed at

How to Use

• Apply to a cleansed face morning and evening
• Use across the whole face rather than only on blemishes
• If you use a drying acne treatment, apply this afterwards once the treatment has absorbed
• Use SPF during the day, particularly while using acne actives
• Avoid the eye area
• Speak to a doctor if acne is severe, painful or scarring rather than managing it with cosmetics alone
