Bioderma Hydrabio H2O

I've been holding on to this little bottle for some time now. I was really feel torn about testing the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O. On one hand, I already use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water and seriously love it, but on the other hand, I love a new product!

So after a few months of having this little bottle sat in my 'to try' pile of products, I decided enough is enough. I can't stand it looking at me waiting to be used! This little bottle lasted me just over a week and a half. 

Bioderma claim that their Hydrabio H2O is a 'cleansing and make-up removing water that respects the facility of sensitive skin and stimulates moisture' and states it is the ONLY dermatological micelles water that is 'perfectly compatible with the skin'.

So the first thing I tested? How well it actually removes my make up. I tested this on my normal 'everyday' face of make-up which includes foundation, powder, blusher, mascara, brow product and mascara.

Unless you only wear a super light foundation or BB cream etc, this Bioderma product is not removing your make up. I mean I'll give it some credit, it took off a lot of my actual face products, but didn't budge any of my eye make up and I had to rub pretty hard to shift my brow products too. However, that being said, when I use the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, use it AFTER I have washed my face and before I apply my moisturiser. With this in mind, for the rest of the week, I simple switched the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O in the place of my Garniner Miceller Cleansing Water, only seems fair. 

After using the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O for just over a week, morning and night in place of my Garniner, these were my thoughts...

Although the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O smells absolutely incredible (the smell to me, is just like how clean fresh air is on a summers day, yeh imagine that every day on your face lol) it wasn't enough for me to want to stop using my Garniner Miceller Cleansing Water.

Price was, the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O comes in two different sizes 100ml (£5.00) and 250ml (£10.50) vs the Garniner Miceller Cleansing Water 400ml (£4.99). Which is quite a difference.

Personally, I didn't feel that my skin benefited at all from switching over to the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O and so for that reason that I won't be switching from Garniner Miceller Cleansing Water.

Garnier : Micellar Cleansing Water

#lovetakingitoff

Around 4 weeks ago I started using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water for sensitive skin. I actually started using this after having laser eye surgery as I wasn't allowed to get water in my eyes, which meant that using face wash was pretty difficult. I still wanted to use something to make sure that I was keeping my skin clean, even when I wasn't wearing make up. 

I picked up a bottle in my local Boots and at the time it was 1/3 off, so a bargain! 

Each bottle is 400ml and says it will do around 200 uses. After 4 weeks I'm around a 1/4 of the way through my bottle and I have been using this day and night as part of my skin routine. 

I have to admit I have been pretty impressed with this so far! It has fitted in really well with my current products and I have found that my skin has been much clearer since I started using this. In the mornings I use it after my shower and before I apply my Treatment Lotion and Soft Cream by Creme De La Mer. 

Although this bottle claims it can remove all of your make up without rinsing I still use it after my Cleansing Oil by Shu Umera to make sure my skin is 100% clean in the evenings. However, for the sake of my blog, I did try to use this once on it own to remove all of my make up. It took 3 or 4 rounds of using this to get everything off my face and it didn't fully remove my mascara. I also found it was quite difficult to get my eye liner off fully too. 

My skin feels so clean and fresh since I have been using this and I have been having less break outs. 

I would say this is a great bargain piece to add into your skin care routine. Like I said above, I wouldn't suggest it can be used to remove eye make up, especially water proof mascara.
