“Sensibio Soothing Micellar Face Wash Sensitive Skin”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate, laureth-2, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-glucoside, glyceryl oleate

This is my favourite face wash of all time. So gentle and non stripping yet cleansing! Even with sensitized skin, you can happily cleanse with this 2x a day without causing barrier damage. It’s amazing! I was using the blue version of this and it was good but, my skin really flipped over to amazing after switching to this one.
Sans parfum et formulé pour peau sensible, ce nettoyant est très doux.
Agréable à utiliser, la mousse est fine et laisse la peau bien propre sans sensation de peau "décapée"
Mais je vais quand même arreter de l'utiliser, ou seulement lorsque j'aurai des boutons, car au bout de plusieurs semaines d'utilisation, je trouve que ma peau tiraille légèrement après le nettoyage.
Je ne suis pas sûre de pouvoir le recommander pour les peaux vraiment sensibles ou très sèches mais je pense que c'est un bon basique pour les autres types de peaux.
I was looking for a milder cleanser and this one popped up while searching. I think it's really helped with the dryness I was experiencing with my last cleanser. I do recommend using something to remove concealer or eye makeup before using this cleanser, although it is mild enough to use on your eyes, concealer and mascara can't totally be removed with this cleasner alone. Otherwise, very good.
