- Best for
- Sensitive, reactive, acne-prone skin that wants a gentle daily cleanse
- 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. It comes up in every comparison video and skincare thread as the pick for skin that reacts to everything, from dermatology-minded creators and everyday users alike.
Owners with reactive skin are the core fans. One says 'Even cleanser that claims to be very gentle like cetaphil will break me out'↗ but Bioderma has not in five to eight years of daily use; another breaks out more on the days she skips it; a third found 'My skin became less textured and smoother pretty quickly'↗. It was the only cleanser one user trusted during pregnancy. The complaints: it costs about double Garnier for a similar bottle, fans still use a balm first for heavy makeup, one combination-skin user found it 'dry and irritated'↗ her, and two Garnier users say the difference is 'negligible'↗ or that Garnier 'works the same'↗ for less.

What owners complain about
“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.
