Bioderma Sébium Gel Moussant Actif

Sébium Gel Moussant Actif — exfoliating foaming cleanser for blemish-prone skin

Sébium Gel Moussant Actif is the reinforced version of Bioderma's classic Sébium foaming cleanser. Where the standard Gel Moussant focuses on gentle daily cleansing, the Actif formula adds salicylic acid and glycolic acid to actively unclog pores and target visible blemishes, while zinc gluconate works on excess shine. The soap- and sulphate-free base keeps the wash mild enough for regular use on oily, acne-prone skin.

Why Choose It?

• Salicylic + glycolic acid duo helps unclog pores and refine the look of skin texture
• Zinc gluconate supports sebum regulation for a less shiny finish
• Sulphate- and soap-free foaming base — rinses cleanly without a stripped feel
• Targets blackheads, clogged pores and visible blemishes on oily skin
• Dermatologically tested formula designed for daily or twice-daily use

Best For

Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin dealing with blackheads, clogged pores and recurring breakouts — especially those who feel a plain gentle cleanser is no longer enough but want to stay sulphate-free.

Use morning and/or evening on damp skin as the first cleansing step. Because the formula contains exfoliating acids, introduce it gradually if your skin is new to BHA/AHA cleansers.

• Wet face with lukewarm water.
• Dispense a small amount into damp palms and work into a light foam.
• Massage over the face in circular motions, focusing on oilier zones (T-zone, chin).
• Leave on for a few seconds so the acids can work, then rinse thoroughly.
• Pat dry and follow with a non-comedogenic moisturiser; apply SPF in the morning.

Tips

• Avoid the eye contour; if product gets in eyes, rinse with plenty of water.
• Start with once-daily use and build up to morning + evening as tolerated.
• If you also use leave-on retinoids or other acids, alternate days to limit irritation.
• Daily SPF is important when using AHA/BHA cleansers — the surface becomes more sun-sensitive.
