My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The product Bioderma Sensibio Defensive Rich is primarily intended for sensitive, reactive skin prone to dryness or discomfort. My analysis of the formulation reveals a clear desire on the part of the Bioderma brand to strengthen the skin barrier and provide protection against external aggressions (pollution, oxidative stress, climatic variations). This product aims to soothe feelings of heat and tightness and limit intolerance reactions, while restoring deep hydration to the skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Squalane : Of plant origin, it mimics the skin's natural lipids, strengthening the skin barrier and limiting water loss. It provides immediate softness and comfort, without leaving a greasy feeling.
• Carnosine This antioxidant peptide protects cells from oxidative stress and limits inflammatory reactions, helping to soothe sensitive skin and prevent premature aging.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) : A major antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals and protects the skin from environmental damage, while supporting skin repair.

The synergy of these active ingredients, combined with moisturizing sugars (mannitol, xylitol, rhamnose), explains the product's effectiveness on fragile skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying Sensibio Defensive Rich Morning and evening on clean skin, after cleansing and before applying sunscreen in the morning. This product is compatible with gentle active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. I would avoid combining it with powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA acids) or retinol, so as not to over-stress sensitive skin.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This skincare product stands out for its rich but non-greasy texture, fragrance-free formula, and high tolerance. It offers an expert response to the needs of sensitive skin, while limiting the risk of irritation. The only possible downside is that the texture may seem too rich for combination skin in summer. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for restoring comfort and protection to the skin on a daily basis.
