10 years ago I was on isotretinoin and my regular moisturizer (LRP) was burning my skin. My dermatologist recommended Bioderma Sébium Hydra and it save my skin. I've been a huge fan of Bioderma ever since, even though now my skin is dry and still acne prone.

[@pibells1469]

You can talk about Avene and La roche posay 😀

I love bioderma sm, their sensibio h2o is my favorite cleanser! Also, their hydrabio gel creme is wonderful

[@CarmelaKanda]

[@soniachhatwal]

I have been using their Bioderma Sebium gel moussant and love it's effect on my sensitive skin. it has helped me with breakouts and keeping my skin clear.

I use the pore refining serum on my tzone only. It’s a great primer under makeup!

[@xcforlife77]

Awesomeness. They seem like a pretty cool company. I'd love to see a review of their Photoderm line and an explanation of the different sunscreen offerings from them. I'd also be interested in learning more about the technology behind CeraVe and Eucerin.

Great information, Michelle! I love Bioderma products and I appreciate hearing how these specific products work on the skin.

[@Lip22Gloss]

Awesome! Thank you so much for keeping us educated, healthy, and beautiful!

[@SusanIvanova2257]

One of my holy grail products is the Sebium Serum actually. I love to dabble into all the products so I currently use the exfoliating mask for the ordinary and tried a bunch of other chemical exfoliants but if I had to come back to one single exfoliant to use until the end of my days it would be the Sebium serum. It's even hydrating enough that I could use it as the only product after cleansing and still be reasonably fine the morning after.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

I've heard such good reviews of it! Unfortunately I don't think it's in Australia yet... soon I hope!

Hi Michelle,I heard you mention bakuchiol in one of the products ingredient lists.Can you please talk about bakuchiol in future episodes.

[@babyjenks15]

Great video! Now i understand why Bioderma worked best for me, compared to Avene and La Roche Posay. I have a query though: i got the Bioderma matt and used it for about 1-2 weeks, then started noticing separation of the ingredients. At first it was only some clear liquid before the cream, but if shaken it was fine. Then i traveled for a few days (had the Bioderma matt and Bioderma global with me, in the original packaging) and the matt one just separated entirely (it looks like patches of white solid in clear liquid) Shaking it doesn't do anything anymore, and it feels watery in the tube. The creams were new, opened just 2 weeks prior, traveled with both of them in the same conditions (backpack in trunk, AC on) and only one separated. The first time i noticed the separation i still used the cream and it seemed fine, but i was afraid to use it after that. The smell did not change, so is it still safe to use? I tried asking a lady from the pharmacy the same question and when she heard i was travelling she immediately blamed it on the heat, but the cream already started separating 1-2 days before the trip, and the other one was never affected and i'm still using it. Sorry for the long post, but i really hope somebody can tell me if i should throw away the cream or if i can still use it.

[@riacaasi5259]

Thank you so much for your videos, I have learned so much and have changed my skincare thanks to you! If I can make a request, could you make a video on ceramides? And the Cerave range. 🌷🌷

I love that you onky present small dots of products, compared to hectolitres of other beautubers, they're not even my products, but it breaks my heart nonetheless! You are my spirit animal. Also, I am not crazy about French pharmacy brands, but I do like Bioderma (and Eucerin, love my Eucerin) and I'm now actually interested in two of the products.

[@daniella4889]

Great video. I’m hoping you will do a new sunscreen favourite video! Have always wondered why you use the Ultraceuticals 30+ and not the 50+?

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Ooh that's a good idea! I like that it's slightly lighter and sinks in more easily so I can apply a bit more, but I do use the 50+ sometimes too! The difference is pretty slight.

[@daniella4889]

Lab Muffin Beauty Science I purchased the Ultraceuticals 50+ and it smells like it has essential oils! 😫 It stinks of lemon. Don’t Limonene, Linalool and Bergamia Fruit oil cause photosensitivity? Makes my skin itch just smelling it!

[@AwkwardFX]

All of them contain fragrance. Sensitive sure.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Not all fragrances have the same sensitivity risks, and sometimes they're overall beneficial if they encourage people to keep using them. Bioderma do extensive testing on their finished products and only have one reported side effect per million products sold, so in practice the fragrances they use aren't very sensitising in the finished formulas. (Yes, I clearly asked them about this issue! 😂)

[@marinan9686]

Lab Muffin Beauty Science Well, that’s what THEY said. I know Dr. Dray likes the brand, although she doesn’t recommend it because their products contain fragrance.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

@@marinan9686 Their explanation makes more sense to me than a blanket statement about all fragrance being bad for everyone (a la Paula) - the dose makes the poison, "fragrance" is not one substance and different chemicals will have different effects, the formulation can make a big difference when it comes to penetration, etc. Bioderma does work closely with dermatologists in product development and research, and have a lot of scientists on their staff as well. IMO the safest thing to do is to test the finished product on your own skin.

[@heredianna2496]

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience Hi you talked about many ingredients but ignored perfume although the brand targets sensitive skin?! You say the dose makes a difference but how long it stays on your skin also makes a difference. The number of products you have to apply daily increases the dose. The repetition of application as well and these are daily products. I am allergic to fragrance so I know all about that. And of course that's was their response: our perfume is different... Come on! What else a brand would say? I am French I love Bioderma ( the micellar water in the pink bottle for the most sensitive skin), I have been using it for years but I can only use the few fragrance free products they have otherwise guess what? I tried, I broke out same for my mum which is also allergic to fragrance. Plus pretty much 97% of their products have perfume, and the 3% which do not are classified for the most sensitive skin. Did you ask them why? Obviously their "innovative" perfume for sensitive skin is not that perfect?!... Unfortunately I can see here the difference between a regular review and a sponsor review video. Many people love this brand so I am not saying it is bad but if you have to call it a review please talk about all important aspects before a viewer have to mention it or just call it an ad.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

@@heredianna2496 Sure, that's what they would say, but it does make logical sense to me as I explained above. Substances get taken away from your skin and metabolised, so daily application doesn't generally increase the dose (e.g. taking a Nurofen tablet won't do anything for a headache even 6 hours later, let alone a day later). I don't generally mention allergens in product reviews, since I'd expect that people with allergies would look out for them, and it would unnecessarily demonise ingredients that I don't think are harmful unless you're allergic or they're in a high concentration e.g. parabens, organic sunscreens, fragrance, lanolin, oatmeal, coconut... Also, the word "ad" is in the title.

[@Rose-cq8gg]

Omg, perfect, thank you 😍

[@camcat26]

Is this your first sponsorship? Congratulations! I'm a bit cheap for Bioderma, but I've been paying attention for a bit and have come to the conclusion that if I do feel splurge-y Bioderma would be my go-to brand (Dr. Dray likes them too). I'd love a deep dive on Biore. Their charcoal micellar water removes my makeup instantly.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

They're a dermatologist favourite! I read that Dr Sandy Skotnicki went on a tour of their factory and I started trying to work out if I could ever go there when I was in France... then they invited me a month later! Such an amazing coincidence 😊

1) I was just looking at their Atoderm Intensive Baume for my face and was in need of a new body wash for my body acne! Definitely picked up the gel cleanser after your review! 2) Thanks for clarifying the micellar water leave-on confusion, I may consider the Sebium one for pre and post workouts if I'm going to the gym after work :) 3) For some reason the OG one burned the bejezuz out of my eyes and skin, and I don't consider myself a sensitive-skin gal :/

[@azeemahnakhoda1869]

What is the point of a miceller water or makeup remover that you can’t use around the eyes????

[@Janicemar1]

Azeemah Nakhoda use the bioderma sensibio (pink cap) if youre wanting to remove eye makeup! It does not sting my eyes at all!

[@susanneflora3133]

I would love an anti aging routine for hands ✋️😃 Spf is an obvouis, but what about other products/ingredients - since you wash your hands several times a day, do you wash away the benefits and waste money? And personally I am also worried about using ingredients that will sensitise the skin for sun exposure, thus risking doing more harm than good, since multiple hand washes means it is challenging to ensure you have spf on at all times 😟 If you are spending the day outside during summer it is easier to plan and be prepared, but you are exposed to UV all day year round 😩😩

[@Ebichuchu]

Many people who are dedicated to sun protection just take their SPF with them and reapply throughout the day every couple hours. It’s technically what you should be doing anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@susanneflora3133]

Aubri I do the same. When I’m outside reapplication is usually not a problem, at least not with my current lifestyle. For me personally it’s more challinging during busy days at work. It’s indoors, but with huge windows everywhere, so I always wear sunscreen even though there’s no direct sunlight. For people who rarely need the restroom, reapplication is probably no fuss, but I am not one of those 😂 I’m also curious as to whether certain ingredients is a waste to use on hands during the day, due to frequent hand washing.

[@TheRegevAmit]

I LOVE your videos! I was wondering if I could get your advice on something: I'm thinking to start mixing a bit ascorbic acid powder every morning into my moisturiser (something like the Ordinary one or Vitabrid C12 Vitamin C as I've heard great recommendations on both) but it sounds too easy to be good for you. What do you think? :)

I think it's a good idea for most people! But make sure you check if it's sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate - sodium laureth sulfate (used in this foaming cleanser) is much much gentler, especially when combined with other surfactants.

[@ocandro]

@@LabMuffinBeautyScience researching surfactants is my obsession, because I have horrible scalp and hair problems, could you please make a video about different types of surfactants, how strong/gentle they are, what they remove (as in quaterniums, silicones, mineral oil etc - it would surely be interesting, especially for natural/curly hair community), how lather affects cleansing and how overall formula (addition of humectants, emollients, pH) changes everything, shortly - how much can we tell just from inci list. I know from my own experience that I used shampoo with Sodium C14 (...) Sulffonate much gentler than one with Decyl Glucoside, which surprised me at the time. I also have a quick question (I hope it's not too much): I noticed that Ordinary's Hemi Squalane is called "isoparaffin" in the ingredients list, but I thought it's reserved for petroleum derived products, can you please explain it?

Hi, Michelle! :) i'm a doctoral student in microbiology and there is one thing that I have been wondering for quite some time now. Skin care and hair care products are relatively new things, if we look at the human history. Our skin and its microbiome have evolved to exist and coexist without these products. No doubt, use of some of them is beneficial for our health, for example, washing hands with soap helps to reduce pathogen transmission. But I'm often wondering, if our hygiene practices (e.g., daily hot, soapy showers) and different products that we apply to our skin are actually necessary or even good for our skin health from the perspective of skin-microbiome interactions. We could combine our science superpowers to explore this topic together and hopefully find some answers :) if you are interested, check your mail box - I sent you an e-mail

Almost all of their products contain fragrance, even the one that is marketed for sensitive skin. Why would any companies put fragrance in their products, it serves no purpose for skin, it's all for the smell.

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

Having a pleasant sensory experience means people are more likely to keep using the product. I don't understand all the hate for fragrance - the prevalence of fragrance allergy is only about 5% in the general population, and not even most sensitive-skinned people are sensitive to it (prevalence is somewhere around 20% in dermatology patient populations). I think being anti-fragrance was just marketed strongly as a "scientific" stance early on and it's persisted, same as being anti-alcohol...

[@SofieChh3n9]

Lab Muffin Beauty Science, what are your thoughts on essential oils in skincare such as lavender oil, citrus oil, bergamot oil, etc?

[@LabMuffinBeautyScience]

@@SofieChh3n9 They're common irritants, but most people can handle them at low amounts. A few are beneficial for skin (tea tree, clove), and a few can be phototoxic at low concentrations, although the phototoxic compounds can be removed through extra processing.
