Basically, this water is made up of microscopic micelle molecules suspended in soft water. A micelle molecule is a spherical molecule with a hydrophilic (water-loving) exterior and a hydrophobic (water-hating) interior.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-6ae0105\" data-block-id=\"6ae0105\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">When we pour the micelle solution on a cotton pad and apply the cotton pad on our skin, the pressure causes the micelle molecules to open up. This exposes the hydrophobic interior, which will attract and attach itself to other hydrophobic molecules (e.g dirt, grime, make up, etc). Once the pressure is lifted, the micelle molecule closes and forms a sphere again, trapping the dirt inside the molecule. This lifts the dirt and non-water molecules off your face, thus cleansing your skin in the process.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-c8f1a99\" data-block-id=\"c8f1a99\"><style>.stk-c8f1a99 {border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #eaeaec) !important;border-top-width:0px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:1px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;padding-top:var(--stk--preset--spacing--none, 0px) !important;padding-bottom:24px !important;}.stk-c8f1a99-column{flex-wrap:wrap !important;--stk-flex-grow:0 !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--column-wrap-desktop stk-content-align stk-c8f1a99-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-c9e3305\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"c9e3305\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-c9e3305 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-c9e3305-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"has-text-align-left stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-c9e3305-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-b3cb6fb\" data-block-id=\"b3cb6fb\"><style>.stk-b3cb6fb .stk--block-align-b3cb6fb{align-items:center !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-b3cb6fb stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-b3cb6fb-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-97bccc0\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"97bccc0\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-97bccc0 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(20% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-97bccc0-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-97bccc0-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image has-text-align-center stk-block stk-d651a9d\" data-block-id=\"d651a9d\"><style>.stk-d651a9d .stk-img-wrapper{width:160px !important;}@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-d651a9d .stk-img-wrapper{width:50% !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-90292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinlycious.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/web_img_084.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"283\" alt=\"Bioderma\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-03d5fa9\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"03d5fa9\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-03d5fa9 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(80% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-03d5fa9-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-03d5fa9-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-7292d03\" id=\"my-experience-with-bioderma-sensibio-h-2-o-micellar-solution\" data-block-id=\"7292d03\"><style>.stk-7292d03 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}.stk-7292d03 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-7292d03 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">My experience with Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Solution<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a605419\" data-block-id=\"a605419\"><style>.stk-a605419 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">I have been looking for a make up remover that works for oily\/ acne skin. Being super acne-prone, I wasn\u2019t comfortable with using oil cleaners. I have been using milk cleansers but I didn\u2019t like the after feel of the milk cleanser.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-839aae9\" data-block-id=\"839aae9\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">So, I was really excited when Bioderma Sensibio&nbsp;H2O was launched. I bought a 250ml bottle as it was bundled with a 100ml free bottle. I can\u2019t remember the price though as it was more than two years ago.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5c708d4\" data-block-id=\"5c708d4\"><style>.stk-5c708d4 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">My first experience was good. It did remove my make up satisfactorily. I also preferred the after feel of the micellar water to the milk cleanser. I was happy that I could finally stop using&nbsp;my milk cleanser. After using Bioderma cleansing water, I followed up with&nbsp;Skinlycious Anti-Acne Wash (now known as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/skinlycious.com\/product\/calming-cleanser\/\">Calming Cleanser<\/a>), even though it was not necessary as micellar solution is suppose to be a rinse free cleanser. However, I am afraid of acne outbreaks, so I continued with my usual routine of Skinlycious products.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-fe6d90e\" data-block-id=\"fe6d90e\"><style>.stk-fe6d90e {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">My happiness didn\u2019t last long.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-6b4c6fe\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"6b4c6fe\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-6b4c6fe {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-6b4c6fe-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-6b4c6fe-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-5c5848c\" data-block-id=\"5c5848c\"><style>.stk-5c5848c {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The next morning, I woke up with a very oily complexion. I have yet to wake up with oily skin ever since I used only Skinlycious products in my skin care routine. It didn\u2019t occur to me it was the Micelle Solution until my skin oiled up again by noon even after I had washed it in the morning. This had not happened to me for a long time. Of course, my face was more clogged up then usual due to the increased oiliness. Acne started popping up.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ec58d04\" data-block-id=\"ec58d04\"><style>.stk-ec58d04 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">A D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu feeling set in. I knew it was the micellar cleansing water as I did not change my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinlycious.com\/us\/diet-and-acne\/\">diet<\/a>&nbsp;nor other skin care products. I had this experience before when I was trying to formulate a cleanser for normal skin to add to the Skinlycious brand. We were testing out and trying different versions of sulfate-free cleansers with milder surfactants. The first few versions I tried oiled me up by noon.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-45ecbca\" data-block-id=\"45ecbca\"><style>.stk-45ecbca {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">My chemist and I worked hard to improve on the formulations.&nbsp;I, having acne-prone and combination skin, tried 10 different formulations, but all gave me an oily complexion though the last version was not as bad. My best friend, who has normal acne-free skin, went through the 10 rounds of testing with me. The first few versions made her normal skin oil up by noontime as well. The subsequent versions did not cause her skin to oil up.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8c39b38\" data-block-id=\"8c39b38\"><style>.stk-8c39b38 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, we decided that Skinlycious should focus on being an anti-acne brand as that\u2019s where our uniqueness lies. And with more experience in testing, I also found out that certain preservatives and other ingredients can also cause my skin to be oily. These are not taught or found in textbooks. It\u2019s only because I have super acne-prone skin that I am able to test, feel and know the difference between the different formulations.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ccb4b6e\" data-block-id=\"ccb4b6e\"><style>.stk-ccb4b6e {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">I stopped using the Bioderma cleansing water and went back to using milk cleanser for my make up removal. It took about 4 weeks for my skin to regulate back to normal, i.e. oiliness sets in only in the late evening.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-list stk-block-icon-list stk-block stk-973cdca\" data-block-id=\"973cdca\"><style>.stk-973cdca .stk-block-icon-list-item__content{align-items:flex-start !important;}<\/style><ol class=\"stk-block-icon-list__ol stk-block-icon-list--column\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-list-item stk-block-icon-list-item stk-block stk-79c8627\" data-block-id=\"79c8627\"><div class=\"stk-block-icon-list-item__content\"><span class=\"stk-block-icon-list-item__marker\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"stk-block-icon-list-item__text\"><strong>Bioderma<\/strong> is supposed to be the best-selling and the pioneer, so they should be one of the best cleansing water.

These are customers, who have had their acne cleared from using our products. I also asked a few close friends, who have normal skin and have been using my serums and sunscreen (suitable for all skin types), to try. I made a batch of 20 samples of Version 1 and sent it out to them.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-3f70db1\" data-block-id=\"3f70db1\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The feedback that came back was that it cleanses well. A few feedback that smell was ok but many feedback that they didn\u2019t like the smell. My bestie called me up and told me that she didn\u2019t like the smell. When asked if they preferred citrus or flowery smell, most feedback that citrus refreshing smell would be nice. So, we tried an improved version with citrus smell.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-30aa8fd\" data-block-id=\"30aa8fd\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Honestly, I am very bad with smell. I think my nose is kinda spoilt. Sometimes, I can\u2019t even smell my baby\u2019s poop. The original version\u2019s smell was acceptable to me. Nevertheless, I was glad that I didn\u2019t launch the original version and gathered some feedback before I launch. More importantly, I wanted to make sure that Skinlycious micellar cleansing water doesn\u2019t cause our skin to be more oily, which would possibly lead to acne.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-37bb83b\" data-block-id=\"37bb83b\"><style>.stk-37bb83b-column{--stk-columns-spacing:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-37bb83b-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-1c255d3\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"1c255d3\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-1c255d3 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(25% -

It did cleanse better than Version 1, especially so on removing waterproof eye makeup.&nbsp;I only&nbsp;made 3 samples of Version 2. One for me and two for my close friends. One was ok with the citrus smell but the other felt that it reminded her of detergent. So, I decided not to use citrus smell. Also, dosing in natural citrus essential oil might cause photosensitivity, so I decided against that. So, not all natural stuff are good.

Reviews have been great. I\u2019m just glad that I have a makeup remover that I love. No more oiliness after feel from milk cleansers. And importantly, no more breakouts or increased sebum production.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-5f12f76\" id=\"a-move-towards-clean-beauty-fragrance-free-version\" data-block-id=\"5f12f76\"><style>.stk-5f12f76 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}.stk-5f12f76 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-5f12f76 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}}<\/style><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">A move towards Clean Beauty \u2013 Fragrance free version<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1af4418\" data-block-id=\"1af4418\"><style>.stk-1af4418 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">In 2020, we moved towards Clean Beauty removing artificial fragrance and natural fragrance (e.g essential oils) from Skinlycious. As I mentioned earlier, my cleansers had fragrances as I preferred the smell of it while I\u2019m cleansing and these fragrances did not cause any sensitive reaction to my skin. Furthermore, they are washed away, thus I do not think it\u2019s an issue. My leave-on products like serums and sunscreen, however, were fragrance free from Day 1.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8ab05f2\" data-block-id=\"8ab05f2\"><style>.stk-8ab05f2 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, this opinion changed when I tweaked the formula of Anti-Acne Wash (now known as&nbsp;Calming Cleanser), changing the artificial fragrance to natural tea tree oil. A group of customers broke out after using the Cleanser with tea tree oil. And after I removed tea tree essential oil, their skin recovered and had no more breakout. I was a little shocked that there were actually that many cases of allergic acne breakout from tea tree essential oil when tea tree is suppose to help in acne.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-597d326\" data-block-id=\"597d326\"><style>.stk-597d326 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, this also taught me that Skinlycious is not just about Jasmine. I need to make it safer for everybody, reducing the risk of allergic breakouts to as many people as I can. Hence, I\u2019ve decided to remove fragrance and essential oils from Skinlycious.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1a010c2\" data-block-id=\"1a010c2\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">We are still in the midst of testing the fragrance free cleansing water formulation.

The first challenge was to find a surfactant that has good makeup removing power but yet doesn\u2019t trigger increased sebum \/ oil production on my skin.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-b2cc0fb\" data-block-id=\"b2cc0fb\"><style>.stk-b2cc0fb {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">After many rounds of trial, I finally found a suitable surfactant. Afterwards adding turmeric extract, french pine bark extract and olive-derived moisturising agent, for anti-inflammatory and hydration benefits. This is version 7 (v7) of the soothing cleansing gel. v7 of the cleanser was sent to my customers to receive their feedback and intake on it. All of my customers were satisfied with the product especially Irene. For the past year, I had been customising a cleanser for Irene in my lab as she couldn\u2019t use any other cleansers in the market. Her skin improved with the customised cleanser but it did not completely solve her oily acne skin issue. Within 3 days of using v7, Irene feedback that her skin cleared up and could stay matte much longer.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ba7c16b\" data-block-id=\"ba7c16b\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, v7\u2019s cost is high, so we did a v8 with a slight reduction in extracts concentration. Every other tester, including me, was cool with v8 except Irene. Irene\u2019s face started oiling up again and pimples returned.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-17ab2f3\" data-block-id=\"17ab2f3\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-17ab2f3-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-f751fb0\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"f751fb0\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-f751fb0-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-f751fb0-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-0319ae4\" data-block-id=\"0319ae4\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-0319ae4 .stk-img-wrapper{width:169px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-90315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinlycious.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/web_blog_img23.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e74d6b1\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e74d6b1\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e74d6b1-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e74d6b1-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-2a5187b\" data-block-id=\"2a5187b\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-2a5187b .stk-img-wrapper{width:196px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-90316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinlycious.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/web_blog_img24.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-26dc531\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"26dc531\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-26dc531-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-26dc531-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-c11d300\" data-block-id=\"c11d300\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:689px){.stk-c11d300 .stk-img-wrapper{width:196px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-90317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skinlycious.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/web_blog_img25.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\"\/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-444cb61\" data-block-id=\"444cb61\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">From this journey, I had learnt that a slight differ in concentrations of active ingredients does affect the skin greatly.
