Overall Assessment: If you love using micellar water, then you definitely need to try Bioderma. It is nice to have different formulas to address the needs of many skin concerns, rather than taking a one size fits all approach. I tend to reach for the Hydrabio and Sensible formulas the most, but on the occasions that my skin breaks out, or my t-zone is more active, then I reach for Bioderma's Sébium Micellar Water. Bioderma is a runaway cult-favorite for a reason, and their micellar waters most definitely live up to the hype! A+
