Price: 1360/-

Quantity: 200ml

Directions for use:
Apply on wet skin, work into foam. Rinse well and gently dry. Use morning and evening. Can be used as shaving foam

Packaging:
This product is packaged in a thick transparent plastic with a pump dispenser. Since it is transparent, you can see how much is left. It has a very alluring look about it, but nothing very special. The pump delivers a very little amount of the product, which is enough for one-time wash. This is a standard 200 ml bottle. It is not very travel-friendly as the pump dispenser doesn’t have a cap, so it might spoil your bag.

The pump dispenser:

My take on BIODERMA Sébium FOAMING GEL 200 ML

My mom’s dermatologist is a big fan of my skin. He doesn’t forget to admire the texture of my skin each time I take my mom to his clinic. So this one time he handed over this face wash to me – not for free though. My mom was totally against buying it as she asks me to use natural products and not expose my skin to chemicals. However, since the doctor admires my skin, I didn’t listen to my mom and bought this anyway.

According to the instructions, you’re supposed to foam a small quantity of this ‘Purifying Foaming Gel Sébium’ in hand and apply smoothly. Massage on damp face. Rinse thoroughly. Finally, dry your face without rubbing but by dabbing with a towel. I followed the instructions very well.

The doctor said this face wash would keep my skin glowing for at least 7 hours. I have a very normal skin, which tends to get a bit oily in summers. The first time I used it my skin felt pretty dry. It was stinging. Such issues tend to occur when you use new skin care products. So, I gave it the benefit of doubt and kept using it every day and night religiously.

On the third day of usage, I started seeing some changes in my skin. I was happy, as usual. However, the next day when I woke up, I was looking like “Om Puri.” You guys know Om Puri, right? His skin has pits on his skin. It was a nightmare for me. I literally cried a lot that day. In addition, my mom was showing off her “I told you so” behaviour. Anyway, that’s really irrelevant.

This product broke me out. I wonder how come I always come across such products. My skin took more than a few weeks to recover but, truth be told, my skin has lost its originality. 🙁 Now I seriously wish I could throw this on my dermatologist’s face. It might be a good product but it just didn’t suit my skin. Still, I cannot recommend it to anyone after this appalling experience

Would I recommend?
Based on my experience with this product, I will not be able to recommend it to anyone.

    1. Ahem I thought of the same thing 😮
      If he admired your skin and said it was wonderful, why would he suggest you try something else?
      I sound childish too, but hey that’s what it seems to be!
      Hope your skin gets back to how it was before, Sugi! It could take some time, but you will get there.
      Huggs.

  1. So sad ,may be u have sensitive skin 🙁 ..but this is a good product for super oily skin …I have used it before when I was at Moscow …can’t find this product in Delhi 🙁

  2. thanks for the warning! i wonder why the doctor was so determined to sell this given that you already have good skin and did not ask him for any advice 🙂

  3. why dont you send a similar hamper of disasterous products to his wife..the doc surely doesnt know wt skin means to girls in their girl world!!

  4. oh no girl. It can be really depressing having clear skin and then breaking out. I wish you luck in getting back ur clear skin. If u ever go to that prick again, do give him a piece of ur mind!

  5. Ohh Sugi… am so sorry about what happened to you. but my dermatologist recommended the same to me, i have been using it for 4 months now and it worked quite ok on my skin. i guess the skin type matters a lot. Mine is a highly oily skin and thats probably why it hasnt shown much effect on my skin.. but for the expense at which we had to buy this face wash i still dont think its worth it. Cetaphil works great and is also affordable.
