The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda

Today I wanted to share about the two latest addition to the Bioderma's Sebium Range!

It's the Sebium Lotion & Sebium Mat Control
These two babies will target the source of oily skin by biologically regulating the quality of the skin's sebum. 





ABOUT THE SEBIUM RANGE
Bioderma’s Fluidactiv™ Patent is the only patent in the market that biologically regulates quality of sebum similar to that of healthy skin and stops the process which causes pimples and clogged pores to form.


So WHAT actually affects the skin's sebum level? 

#1 HORMONES 
The change and imbalance in hormonal activity can result in excess sebum production
 - which means you have a risk of qualitative sebum abnormality.

Having thicker sebum that has a more difficult time flowing out of the follicle, which increases the risk of clogged pores and pimples
prevents damage to skin immune system and preserves antioxidant reserve

#2 IMPROPER SKINCARE 

Using skincare products that aren't suitable for your skin can irritate the skin and make your acne-prone and/or oily skin's condition even worse!
Going too hard on cleansing products can cause skin barrier issues, pH instability, and reactional hyperseborrhea - the skin produces even more sebum to compensate for all the sebum that was removed from the skin's surface.

#3 LIFESTYLE
Your diet and stress level can also influence the production of sebum.
If you add high-glycemic diet (sugar, flour, rice, etc.) + high stress level = elevated hormones =
increased activity of sebaceous glands = formation of acne.
(Which nobody wants)



SKINCARE TIP!!
Stick with a targeted treatment programme and BE PATIENT!
Use a dermo-cosmetic range that targets oily, blemish pron skin - like Bioderma!




BIODERMA SEBIUM LOTION
with Fluidactiv™ Patent
(SGD$33.90 for 200ml)
A non-sticky toning lotion that's specially formulated to soothe and treat oily skin.
Did I mention that this formula is specially for Asian skin? (woohoo!)
It contains a blend of active ingredients that helps balance skin’s pH, reduces excess oil and keeps skin hydrated for 8 hours! 

What are the ingredients that's supporting this?
Glycerin: Provides 8-hour lasting hydration
Capryloyl Glycine (amino acid): Regulates skin’s pH to healthy level and limits the growth of P.acnes bacteria
Zinc Gluconate and Vitamin B6: Reduces sebum production and has anti-bacterial properties
Salicylic Acid: Gently exfoliates and refines skin’s texture with 
Mushroom Extract: Tightens pores


DIRECTION
Pour onto cotton pad and sweep across skin in an outward motion, or pour onto palm and pat into skin with fingertips. Avoid eye and lips. 
For best results, use together with Sebium Mat Control for optimal shine-control and hydration 




 BIODERMA SEBIUM MAT CONTROL
with Fluidactiv™ Patent
(SGD$36.90 for 30ml)
The next addition to the Bioderma Sensibio Range... 
the Bioderma Sebium Mat Control! 
  This is a daily moisturiser that provides just the right amount of shine control and hydration by controlling excess oil, soothe skin and prevent dryness. Just like the Sebium Lotion, it promises 8-hour shine control and smooth effect  with the Matt and Smooth Technology which includes mattifying micro powders and silicones. This can also be used as a makeup base!

What are the ingredients that's supporting this?
Glycerin: Provides 12-hour hydration
Zinc Gluconate and Vitamin B6: Reduces sebum production and has anti-bacterial properties
Salicylic Acid: Refines and improves skin’s texture
Mushroom Extract: Minimizes the appearance of large pores


DIRECTION
Squeeze out a sufficient amount and apply on skin in an outward motion. 
Avoid eyes and lips.
For best results, use together with Bioderma Sebium Lotion for optimal shine-control and hydration 




Let's start off the day! 
You can see that the cream mattifies my face but doesn't dry it out.
I love how there's a slight glow on my skin - making it looks healthy. 
Decided to go out with no makeup to test how good it is!

AFTER 8 HOURS
Hi no makeup face!!

You can see that my skin still doesn't look oily!
I can see why the cream can also be used as a primer - since it can really help to keep the oils at bay.

AFTER 7 DAYS
So I used this for a week together with my makeup on some days and here's what my skin looked like after 7 days.

Even after the end of the day - my skin isn't looking oily!


VERDICT
I love how simple and clean the packaging is - not to mention it's very easy to use it.
The smell of the product is pretty nice too - it feels...clinical? 
I'm not sure if that makes sense but it feels like it will deliver results (LOL)
Whenever my period comes rolling around, my skin breaks out like MAD and when I was trying these two products I was just about to get my period.
To my surprise, my breakouts weren't crazy like usual and I only got 1 breakout.
WHICH IS RARE! 
If you have combo/oily skin like me - definitely give this skincare range a go! 



The products will be available island wide from 1 June 2018 and there's a promotion going on at Guardian right now!! Buy 1 and get the 2nd item at 50% off!

Thank you to both Bioderma Singapore and the Sample Store for letting me try these products out!

xoxo,
HI 2017!!
It's a new year so that means new year's resolution and a brand new START!

I wanted to share with you a derma skincare brand that I'm sure EVERYONE knows but did you know there's a new addition to that popular range? 
I'm talking about Bioderma! 



Bioderma has been in the market and in Singapore for a while - I'm sure you guys know this brand because it has such a clean, simple packaging that everyone raves and swears by!

Bioderma is approved by dermatologists and they aim to provide derma skincare AND derma cosmetics to make sure that you skin is using only the highest quality and effective ingredients!

Today I'll sharing and reviewing 3 Bioderma items from the Sensibio Range!





BIODERMA SENSIBIO H2O
(SGD$28.90 for 250ml)



This is THE micellar water that is approved by dermatologists and loved by makeup artists, celebrities, and many bloggers! This cleansing water is formulated with highly purified water, which means that it is the highest grade of pharmaceutical water that's free from impurities and irritants. 
So this baby is suitable for even very sensitive skin. 




Micellar Water is a makeup remover that doesn't require you to wash your face after removing your makeup! It sounds like a crazy idea since...if you do that with any other makeup remover = your face will hate you the next day. 

I mean this product will DEFINITELY be great for people who are super busy, partied all night long and can't be bothered to wash your face, and...LAZY (me!). 



There's 3 sizes available - 100ml (SGD$15.90) /250ml (SGD$28.90) /500ml (SGD$41.90)
The one I'm holding is 250ml!


Here's a view of the back!
  

So let's try this baby out! Since...that's the most effective way to test a makeup remover, right?


I have foundation, concealer, eyeliner, mascara, liquid lipstick, eyeshadow, and eyebrow pencil/powder. Soo... you can say that I have almost EVERY kind of makeup product on my face.


*removing my makeup*
Check out how it removed ALL my makeup! (on one side with one side of the cotton).
I was SUPER impressed how it was able to easily remove my liquid lippie!!
Usually I use an oil-based makeup remover, so I didn't expect it to come off but...IT DID!!
*mind blown*


Here's another shot of me with no makeup on one side~
My face felt like...I washed and toned my face!
Such a weird feeling since after you use makeup removers, you have that funky 'film' feeling on your skin and you DEFINITELY need to go wash your face. The Sensibio H20 didn't have that feeling at all. My skin felt refreshed and clean! 



I can understand why this is such a raved item! To be honest I thought it was overrated and I've been using other water-based makeup removers...but I couldn't be more wrong. LOL
I've become addicted to how my skin feels after using this product that it's replaced ALL my makeup removers!! 




BIODERMA GEL MOUSSANT
(SGD$33.90 for 200ml)


Now let me introduce you to one of the new family members of the Bioderma Sensibio Range!
The Bioderma Gel Moussant!


This is the Bioderma Gel Moussant gently cleanses while hydrating and soothing the skin. 
It's enriched with skin conditioning ingredients like coco-glucoside and glyceryl oleate, which also has lipid-restoring and moisturizing properties. It's suitable for both day and night for your face and eyes...not to mention also for sensitive skin! 


So what's also great about this product is...
-fragrance free
- soap free
- paraben free
- hypoallergenic


Hello gel cleanser~!
You can use this baby alone or together with the Bioderma Sensibio H20!
       

Here's the back of the packaging!



Some face washes ends up leaving your skin feeling super tight...which means it strips the moisture off of your skin = no no no no!!!
This cleanser was great since it left my skin feeling supple! If you're used to having lather in your face wash, keep in mind that this is SOAP FREE! That means that it won't give you that foam you get from your other face washes but this baby gets the job done!




 BIODERMA SENSIBIO DERMATOLOGICAL WATER
(SGD$19.90 for 150ml)


The next addition to the Bioderma Sensibio Range... 
the Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological Water! 
  
There's a lot of other body/face mists in the market and I've tried quite a few brands! 
Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological Water is using highly purified water - which is enhanced with a perfect balance of mineral salts and oligo-elements. What is oligo-elements? It's bioavailable forms of trace minerals that are rapidly aborbed sublinguqually. 


This is what the Bioderma Sensibio Dermatological Water does:
- soothes skin (includes mannitol, rhamnose, and zinc)
- maintains healthy skin cells
- suitable for sensitive skin  
- refreshes the skin 
- set makeup 
- you don't need to pat it dry! 


Here's the back of the packaging~!


In Singapore, besides the hot, humid weather we face... the office is SUPER DRY from the air-con!
You can see how cold my office is from my outfit LOL so you can imagine how dry my face feels! 
I also use it to set my makeup too! 


Super easy to use, just spray spray and you're done!

Besides the office, I brought it around in my backpack when I was in Japan!
It kept my skin hydrated and flake-free!!!


Here's just a random snippet from the trip - my skin was happy!
I kept spraying my friends with it when they felt like their face felt tight.
I wish I took more pics using this on myself and everyone in Japan...
*slap myself* 


I'm so SO happy that Bioderma expanded their range and included this dermatological water! 
I mean...I brought a 150ml spray along with me for a trip to Japan...if that doesn't scream I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I'm not sure what does...heh.
They also have a 50ml version for only $5.90 soooo...I'm definitely getting that the next time I travel!





All the products are available at Watsons, Guardian, Unity, Robinsons, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the National Skin Centre.
