BIODERMA Atoderm Shower Oil Cleanser

The Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil comes in a 200ml clear plastic bottle and has a blue pump top dispenser. It can be turned to lock into position, but I would tape down as an added precaution if you are planning to travel with it. I've never used a cleansing oil, for my face or body and I wasn't sure how to best use it. To start with I used it as a first step cleansing oil for taking off my makeup but I didn't find it that effective for that purpose. I decided to use it in the shower instead, dispensing about one to two pumps onto my mesh sponge and found that it lathered up well. It has a lovely light fragrance and doesn't leave behind any oily residue. This worked really well for my dry skin on my legs which I am prone to in Winter. I probably wouldn't get this again as I think its a bit steep for a product that rinses off but it might be worth the extra dollars for those that have chronic dry skin.

I have incredibly sensitive skin and find many body washes incredibly hard to use. I can't use anything with a high fragrance and if the product doesn't suit me I can end up with a rash over most of my body. I've used products specifically for sensitive skin and still had problems. I've used Biodrema products so decided to try this. I've been using it for a few months now without any irritation. It is different from most body washes and doesn't foam but it does clean beautifully, leaving my skin without any dryness and most of all, no irritation. It is incredibly economical as it isn't expensive in the first place and a few pumps does the entire body. The bottle is easy to hold as is the pump so that it is pleasant to use as well as extremely effective. The gel like lotion/liquid leaves the skin feeling soft, moisturised and calm and above all, clean. I feel confident in highly recommending this to anyone with extremely sensitive skin.

The last summer has left my skin really dry and irritated and I have to make sure that the products I use on my body are nourishing and not drying. It did not irritate my sensitive skin or cause an allergic reaction. It was fun to use and see how the oil emulsified when mixed with water and did not leave any residue on the skin afterwards. It left my skin clean and hydrated after each use and therefore I would recommend it to everyone who has sensitive skin. It is good for the whole family too because it has no scent.

An amazing nutty sweet scent that is high quality and not overpowering but simply perfect in my view, is what this delicate and gentle cleansing formula has. It's an oily cleanser that lathers up between damp palms and then can be used all over the face, neck and entire body too. In fact, when I first used this I thought it was for the body because it comes in a large container but later I found out that it is primarily meant to be for facial cleansing! It didn't matter because my body got a luxurious cleansing treat anyhow and my skin felt soothed and cleansed. So this is great for delicate skin and sensitive skin too. I have oily skin on my face in general being an oily combination skin type. This cleanser suits that skin type too. So I dare say this would suit any skin type. I highly recommend this even though I never thought I would have ever seen myself recommending an oily based cleanser! This really opened up my eyes as to how oily cleansing can work so well and nourishingly for the skin all while giving it a thorough clean. I found this gentle cleanser to be excellent after a beauty treatment too.
