Back at the end of October when I visited Paris, I visited Pharmacies very frequently to try track and down the Bioderma Créaline Cleansing Water two pack. I was under the impression when I was inundated with french product "must haves" that this would be widely available in Paris, but it seemed the double pack was sold out everywhere and the only one I could find was the Green lidded Bioderma Sébium. I finally tracked it down on my way back to Gard de Nord, in what may have been the smallest Pharmacy ever and well and truly stocked up for my friends and I.
Bioderma Créline is a Micellar lotion, meaning it's a mild cleansing water that doesn't require any rinsing or to be honest, any work. It's really gentle on my skin and doesn't take anytime to soak off my make up, which lets face it, is usually piled on!
I tend to only use this to remove my eye make up, however it can be used to remove a whole face of make up and on occasion I do. I apply a small amount onto a cotton pad, place it onto my eye and my make up gently dissolves onto the pad. It works really well and with it's soothing qualities leaves my eye area feeling especially cool and fresh.
The formula of Bioderma is hypoallergenic, fragrance and alcohol free so I would say it would probably suit all skin types.
Over in Paris I managed to get two 500ml bottles for €18 which is a great price and if you get the chance to, I really recommend getting it from there. I know most people from the UK tend to buy it on eBay because it is a lot harder to get hold of, I know I've only ever seen it in the Beauty Mart in Harvey Nichols where it costed a considerable amount more for a single, maybe smaller bottle.
I'm not sure how true this is, but a little bird tells me it will soon be available in Boots, if it is true then it is exciting but to be honest, I'm not sure it will come with a super appealing price tag.
Have you tried Bioderma Créline Cleansing Water? I would love to know your thoughts.
I have been hearing tons of stuff about this cleansing water. I have it on my makeup list but can only order it online. Great review
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this! I just can't justify buying it whilst i have so many other cleansers and make up removers, as soon as they're all gone ill definitely pick a bottle up!

Oh no! I don't want this to be more widely available, I think it is kind of part of the appeal! It is more exciting to buy it on holiday knowing you can't get it at home :) (although Paris is my home)

I saw this recently in a cosmetics store out here in Korea. I was really surprised they had it. I might go back and pick up a bottle to try, sounds good!

I've just started using this and its by far the best eye make-up remover I've tried. I purchased mine in Boots in Dubai and paid around £6 for one small bottle! Hopefully it comes to Boots in the UK soon but at a more reasonable price. x
ReplyDeleteI'm desperate to try this! Heard soooo many good things about it! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI started using this a couple of months ago, i got mine off amazon but it was from a french pharmacy. I've used it everyday since i got it, best make up cleanser i've tried :) Hope it does become easily available soon!

I've used this for almost a year now and I love it! It's changed my skin completely. I get mine off ebay and a 500ml bottle is about £10/£15 :)

There must have been a Bioderma shortage as this was everywhere when I went to Paris last year! So glad you managed to find some! It's incredible stuff I couldn't live without it xx
ReplyDeleteI love this stuff so much, does such an amazing job :) x

Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteMiss Warren recommended this product to me when I has having an eczema flare up on my face. I think it was down to the face wipes I was using to remove my make up (which were for sensitive skin). This stuff is brilliant, leaves your skin feeling really clean and fresh and doesn't irritate my skin. I got some off of Amazon.

I reallly want to try this. I've been using the La Roche Posay micellar for my eye makeup and although it's nice you only get a 200ml bottle. I'm trying to convince the boy on a trip to Paris mostly so I can go pharmacy shopping haha!
