Happy Sunday, Angels!

How’s your quarantine life? Hope you’re all doing great! Here in Indonesia, earlier this week our government decided to ease up some of the restrictions so a lot of public places have already reopened. Some of the new rules have been applied in this ‘new normal’ era. It’s now mandatory to go through disinfectant chamber and one or two screening steps before entering malls/grocery stores. We are also encouraged to wash our hand often or use hand sanitizer like literally, as often as we could, to protect ourselves from catching the virus.

To be honest, the excessive usage of hand sanitizer & other efforts that I constantly do to keep the virus away have made my skin suffered. My skin is visibly drier, and in some area, it’s gotten crackly as well! This is not a good thing because I have atopic that can flare up whenever I, or my skin, gets stressed out. And yes, with all that’s going on in the world right now, I’d be lying if I say that I’m 100% fine. Of course, like most of the people in this world, my stress level is so high. Thankfully, few days ago I received a big box from Bioderma & Clozette Indonesia. Here it is, the Blue Care Package by Bioderma:

Why blue? As a color, blue is often used to symbolize calmness, peace, and confidence. Bioderma has two product lines with blue color as their color code: Hydrabio and Atoderm. The products inside this Blue Care Package were carefully hand-picked by Bioderma team with the hope that these items would be beneficial for us during this time. There are 3 items from Hydrabio range (Micellar Water, Essence Lotion, and Serum) and 3 items from Atoderm range (Lip Balm, Shower Gel, Body Cream). Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at each of them!

HYDRABIO by Bioderma

Bioderma Hydrabio H2O Micellar Water

I’m a big fan of Bioderma’s micellar water. I’ve reviewed one from the famous Sensibio line here. This micellar water from Hydrabio range has the same potency with the Sensibio one in terms of removing stubborn & waterproof base makeup, but I do feel that this product feels gentler & nicer on the skin. It leaves my skin clean, hydrated, and happy! I’d do double cleansing all the time, so I prefer my cleansers to be potent and effective, but also gentle & not drying to the skin. After trying out this product, I think my favorite Bioderma Micellar Water is now this one from Hydrabio range! All products from this range has been formulated with the Aquagenium patent, a biological complex that helps reactivating the skin’s natural moisturizing process and water retention ability. That’s why all the products in this range is perfect for those who has problems with dry, sensitive, and dehydrated skin! 😉

Bioderma Hydrabio Essence Lotion

This is a hydrating toner with super lightweight, clear, water-like consistency. It claims to rebalance and soften the skin, prepping it to be ready for whatever product in your daily skincare regime that’s gonna be applied next. It feels like such a treat to myself whenever I apply this toner, because it has nice and calming scent which I really like. This toner has perfect – yes, perfect – hydrating effect! It leaves my skin plumped without the annoying sticky or greasy feeling that some hydrating toner has.

 

Bioderma Hydrabio Serum

Another favorite product of mine. Honestly when it comes to hydrating serum, I’d not found one that I really like until I tried this one. Everything else before this Hydrabio Serum was just so-so or okay for me. With the gel-like consistency, this serum looks super lightweight and airy, but after I put it on my skin and start rubbing in, OH MY LORD THIS SERUM IS AMAZING. It has intense hydration formula, plus it gets absorbed quickly and leaves – again, same with the essence lotion – no sticky/greasy feeling behind. After using this serum my skin’s visibly glowing, looking far healthier & livelier than before. The Hydrabio Serum also serves nicely as a makeup base, making whatever complexion product I put on top glides on smoothly & blends seamlessly. With ONLY two days of regular use, this serum has improved my skin a LOT – rebalances the sebum production, eliminate dry & rough patches on my nose, and calms down the redness on my skin and some inflamed acne. I really wonder, other than the mighty Aquagenium patent, does Bioderma involve magic in the development of this product? In all other products from this Hydrabio range??

 

ATODERM by Bioderma

Bioderma Atoderm Lip Balm

Fancy box packaging, sleek white tube, 4 g of product. This lip balm is not like other ordinary lip balm. It’s ultra-moisturizing – just like the name suggests – and is able to repair the moisture barrier on your lips and make them soft again. The Atoderm Lip Balm also has slight fruity scent, I think it’s berry. No wonder there are tons of good review about this product – it glides on smoothly on lips and has nice finish that’s not too greasy and not sticky, almost matte, making it perfect as a primer for lippie. A perfect product for literally everyone, be it men or women, adults or kids. For those who have sensitive lips, no worries! This lip balm is using hypoallergenic ingredients & synthetic wax, perfect for those who are vegan or allergic to beeswax! 😉

Bioderma Atoderm Shower Gel

Now we’re talking about body care products from the Atoderm range and I’m gonna start with this shower gel. With clear baby blue gel and subtle fresh scent, this shower gel contains Skin Protect complex with dual biological action that helps to protect the skin with ceramides and boost the skin’s moisture level by stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid. This product is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for adults, children, and babies. I like how moisturizing this shower gel is. It lathers up pretty well but not so foamy, plus it leaves nice moisturized feeling on the skin after shower. A perfect product to pair with the Atoderm Crème. This duo is doing great to calm my atopic flares and repair the skin’s moisture barrier.

 

Bioderma Atoderm Crème

Another favorite product of mine. Then again, which product in this Blue Care Package that I don’t like?! This package is truly a bliss for those suffering from extreme skin dryness, highly sensitive skin, and atopic like me! I’ve always had a soft spot for multi-function crème like this, as it can be used both on face and body thanks to the hypoallergenic and lipid-replenishing formula. This crème is very potent and rich, but somehow it has pretty runny consistency. I love how this product is able to quickly soothe my skin and provide comfort on itchy atopic flares. With 2-3 times of diligent application a day, the Atoderm Crème can truly help to heal an atopic flare! Totally impressive. This product is now added to my staple + must-repurchase stash without a single doubt.

 SCORE

LAST WORDS

I think Bioderma did a great job creating this Blue Care Package. With these products, cleansing, hydrating, and moisturizing skin is an easy job! I mean, with only 6 products that cover all of your skin’s needs from head-to-toe, you can save up the time that’s usually spent to slap and layer tons of product into your skin and use those extra minutes to do other productive activities 😉 I highly recommend you to grab these products depend on your skin’s needs, and if you could grab all six of them – that’s even better!

Once again, thanks to Clozette Indonesia and Bioderma for sending me this package of bliss, happiness, and joy! Taking care of my problematic skin has never felt this easy. Okay, I’m signing off now – see you on my next post, Angels!
