Common questions

Is Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance (Parfum)") is the 18th of 18 ingredients.

Does Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel safe for fungal acne?

None of the ingredients usually flagged for fungal acne are listed: fatty acids with 11–24 carbons and their esters, polysorbates, plant oils and butters, or ferments. 2 of its ingredients aren't in our glossary yet, so check those yourself. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is Bioderma Sebium Foaming Gel suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains fragrance and sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, a strong cleansing agent, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
