- Best for
- Sensitive, reactive, acne-prone skin
- Waterproof makeup
- Weak alone; pair with a balm or oil
Why it ranks here. Bioderma invented micellar water in 1995 and is still the benchmark every drugstore version gets measured against, the pick for skin that reacts to everything. One user for whom even gentle cleansers cause breakouts has used it daily for five to eight years without one, another breaks out on the days she skips it, a third's skin became smoother quickly, and it was the only cleanser one user trusted during pregnancy.
It costs about double the drugstore rival for a similar bottle, and fans still reach for a balm first on heavy makeup. One combination-skin user found it left her dry and irritated, and two Garnier users call the difference negligible.
What owners like
- Gentlest for reactive skin
- Fewer breakouts for long-term users
- The original micellar water
What owners complain about
- Double the price of Garnier
- Weak on heavy makeup
- Negligible difference for some
“My skin is super sensitive. Even cleanser that claims to be very gentle like cetaphil will break me out. So I’ve been using Bioderma sensibio cleansing water for the last 5-8 years and whenever I wanna try other options, I just immediately break out and have to throw them in the trash.” — YouTube comment · Visdemhvemduer · 2020-07-19

I love your laugh lol. I love my Bioderma, but I bought the garnier one one in a pinch, but after using Bioderma for so long there’s definitely a difference. I don’t think I used as many rounds with my Bioderma, but I also used a makeup remover balm and only used the Bioderma to get all the leftover residue. All in all I’d definitely recommend Bioderma. Garnier wasn’t the worst, but I didn’t love it.

I recently bought the bioderma micellar water in travel size to try it. It made my skin dry and irritated (I have combination skin and it’s not sensitive). I will try the garnier micellar water next. Thanks for the review.

bioderma is actually the one that developed micellar water, so it's gotta be good. just like vitamin c serum that actually effective by skinceutical. I've been using garnier for many years but lately my skin becoming way sensitive and dry, idk why this happens?? ... i do read some reviews said garnier tend to get dryer in a long term usage. I was thinking to switch to bioderma but the price is the only catch for me.

I use the Micellar Water in the morning, and the Gel in the evening! They are fantastic!

I prefer Bioderma for my face, and the Garnier for cleaning makeup brushes.

garnier irritated me but bioderma hasn’t. i’ve noticed when i don’t use it i break out more (even on no make up days).

I used it for years, maybe 5? The only makeup remover I used. I never had any irritation or breakouts. It was fine. I saw some posts talking about how amazing bioderma was, so I decided to try it. My skin became less textured and smoother pretty quickly. The milia on my chin has also gone down a bit.

In my country, it's between 15-20€ for 500mL. Found 2x500mL recently for 25€. And garnier is between 6-8€ for 400mL.

Its really good, Im currently using the pink Bioderma but after I finish it I will go back go Garnier cause its just cheaper and works the same.

Nice skin cute personality 👍 But....I really think you used way too product on that thin cotton pad no need to drench your face that it ended up in your mouth. Bioderma was the original micellar water.
