I'm sure you all know of the incredibly famous Bioderma Créaline H20 makeup remover by now. Every single makeup artist recommends it, and countless more swear by it.
But did you know that the fabulous Créaline H20 has a little sister? Meet Bioderma Sébium H20.
This gorgeous thing utilises the exact same technology and is every bit as effective as its older sister, but caters to a slightly different skin type. Whilst the Créaline H20 is gentle enough to work on every skin type, it does not address the very serious issue of excess sebum and oiliness in the skin.
Oily skin types can now rejoice, because Sébium H20 is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin, and works wonders. The Sébium is a star range in Bioderma's product line - its Sébium AKN has been nominated in the ACP Beauty Awards for best anti-acne treatment. This product is an absolute favourite of mine, and you can read my review of it here. It is a fabulous little product that has kept my acne at bay and completely cleared out my blackheads!
Bioderma: For the “non-rinse product fans”, Bioderma offers Sebium H₂O, a Daily Purifying Cleansing and Make-up Remover. Derived from our bestseller Crealine H₂O, this Micellar solution also uses the power of micelles to cleanse impurities (dirt and sebum) and remove make up. Additionally, it purifies the skin and helps fluidify sebum.Packaging
Indications: soak a cotton pad with Sebium H₂O and simply cleanse your face. Avoid the eye area.
Fluidactiv® patent, soap-free, alcohol-free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic.
Aside from the colour, the packaging on this product is identical to the Créaline H20. Both products have locked caps - which means that sellers of fake Bioderma products cannot reuse the original packaging to market their counterfeits. The bottle is pretty sturdy, and the product dispenses easily out of a pop-open cap.
Product
I love the colour of this cleansing solution! It is tinged a very slight blue, which is (and this is completely irrelevant to its performance, but I just had to mention it) mesmerizing when the bottle is placed in the light.
One difference that I should point out is that this product is very slightly fragranced (the Créaline H20 is not), but the smell is beautiful and very pleasant. I am the kind of person who gets headaches from heady, deep scents, so rest assured, this is not one of them.
Performance
What I love about the Bioderma makeup removers is the fact that you can use them without fear of stressing your skin out. They are gentle enough so that I can use them right after I get back from work - when my face is at its most oily and when I am desperate to remove the grime and dirt of the city from my skin. It doesn't interfere with my twice-daily cleansing routine, which is what I love the most! I can, in essence, wash my face three times a day without worrying about stripping the essential oils from my skin and causing dryness or irritation. PERFECT.
This product also does one thing that the Créaline H20 cannot - it regulates the production of sebum and keeps my face oil-free without feeling too dry. After I cleanse my face, my skin dries down to a beautiful, SOFT, velvety matte texture, very similar to the effect that I get with the Sébium AKN. If you think your skin feels soft now, wait till you try both the Sébium H20 and the Sébium AKN. You won't be able to stop....touching yourself.
One important thing to note about this product is that you should not use it to remove your eye makeup! It will irritate your eyes if you do because this product was not formulated with eye makeup removal in mind. I love using an oil cleanser at night to remove my eye makeup, but if you like, you can also remove your eye makeup with a separate eye makeup remover first, and then follow up with the Sébium H20.
Sounds like something you want to get your hands on? This product comes in two sizes here in Australia - 100mL (AUD 19.95) and 250mL (AUD 29.95). For stockist information, visit the Cosmetiques de France website here.
Also: If you are interested in testing out both the Sébium H20 and Sébium AKN, you are in luck! I am giving away 10 packs of these gorgeous babies, so stay tuned for the giveaway, coming up on my blog in a couple of days!

I have oily skin and i got this about 4months ago. At first it was ok but after a while (not sure if its relevant to the weather changing to winter) my skin stings and drys and i can feel it getting pulled super tight when i use this i pretty much have to quickly go rinse my face with a wet cloth afterwards... i could blame the weather because skin does tend to get more dry during winter but even so i still consider my skin pretty oily
I have dry skin so I love the other Bioderma but so good to know that they have an oily version for my kit!
That's so strange! Goes to show that every skin type is different :/ Have you tried the Crealine version? Maybe that would work better on your skin :)
Isn't the Crealine gorgeous! I hope your oily-skinned clients like this one! :)
I know you wrote this article a long time ago, but I'm french and I wanted to say that the Sebium H2O is not meant for removing makeup, only the Crealine H2O is meant to. You should definitely use a makeup remover and then use this micellar solution (unless you're using the Crealine).
I used to use it 5y ago and at that time, the Sebium H2O was a really bad choice for me (I had SUPER oily skin) and every time I used it, it irritated my skin and it stung. So I stopped using it.
I got through a phase of medical prescription and nowadays, the Sebium H2O works like a charm (I now have combination skin).
That might not help anymore but just saying :)
I recently bought one from a seller on Amazon where one person who reviewed it got a fake, and she knew she did because one of her friends actually got her one from France. Mine seems to work. I don't use waterproof makeup so I'm not so sure I can determine authenticity from that. But as you mentioned... The cap was locked/sealed. So does that mean it's real? I bought a 500mL bottle of it for $30, so I feel like I should be really careful about this since I believe the 250mL bottle is around that price from the real distributor.
Hi Mai, thanks for the comment! The paragraph in italics was taken from the Bioderma website, so that means that they market it as a makeup remover, doesn't it? Personally I oil-cleanse first before using this so it's not an issue for me, but thanks for the heads up!
I am so sorry about the late reply! The locked cap does make it very tamper-proof, and though there is no guarantee that someone with the intention to do so wouldn't be able to, it should be pretty safe so long as the cap remains intact.
