Common questions
Is Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Serum Soothing Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Serum Soothing Serum contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain c20-22 alcohols: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Serum Soothing Serum safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: plant oils & butters (glycine soja (soybean) oil). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Serum Soothing Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Bioderma also recommends it for sensitive skin. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
