The shower oil promises deep hydration and 24-hour moisture. It has Skin Barrier Therapy technology, featuring ingredients like water, glycerin, mild surfactants, niacinamide and citric acid. It works to cleanse and soften skin, while preventing dryness. The lightweight, non-comedogenic formula can also be used by the entire family, including children and babies.
How to Use Bioderma Shower Oil
The brand recommends wetting your skin before applying the cleansing oil. I started out with adding three pumps onto my body scrubber and working it along my arm. I saw it lather up almost immediately and found it also worked just as well if I was applying it directly on my hand or a wash rag. Now, it doesn’t have a super-rich lather like other body washes I’ve used in the past, however, it still got the job done. I added three more pumps for good measure and realized six was my sweet spot in cleansing my entire body.
Once rinsed, my skin felt silky smooth. The gentle formula didn’t dry out my skin and it maintained moisture even after I stepped out of the shower. The cleansing oil is also great for your face and hands (the bottle label literally says it’s “suitable for frequent handwashing”). Of course, I tested it out on these areas and discovered it was just as nourishing, too. When it comes to the face, it has become a great double-cleansing product to ensure all my makeup is gone.
Formula aside, the scent is very subtle. You have to really press your nose near the shower oil to catch a whiff of the fragrance, which can be a nice bonus for those with sensitive noses. It doesn’t have an out-of-this-world scent, but it smells fresh and clean.
