I confess, I’m a skin cleanser whore. I move from brand to brand without a shred of guilt because I’m on a continual quest for pore perfection. With the needs of my skin varying with the fluctuations in humidity, temperature and pollution, it seemed impossible to find a cleanser that can stand up to the task. That is, until now.
I had never heard of the French skincare brand Bioderma, until one day, by chance, I realised I was about to board a plane with no skin cleanser and came across it in a Watson’s Drugstore (I have never seen it in Watson’s since by the way). I bought it and was so impressed I went on a search for it once I had finished the bottle. It took me a couple of weeks to find it again at CitySuper in Times Square. I found out also that my doctor (Dr Lauren Bramley — whom every woman over 40 in Hong Kong seems to see for their skin “maintanance”) sells it too.
Bioderma’s cleanser for sensitive skin (I bought the oily skin formula for my daughter recently as well) has the consistency of water. You simply soak a cotton pad and wipe. It takes off make-up and dirt incredibly well and never leaves my skin dry. You can even use it to remove eye make up. Best of all, you don’t need to follow up with a toner, although I like to finish off with a spritz of Yonka Lotion (toner).
I stumbled across another place selling Bioderma in a building on Wellington Street, coming up from Queens Road Central, between the 7-11 and Kosmo. Look for a big sign on the sidewalk. It is on the 3rd floor, I believe it is called “Alice Beauty Supply”. They sell big 500ml bottles at a decent discount. They also sell some Dr Haushka products shipped directly from Germany and Dermalogica as well.
This post, however off-topic it may be, is about Internet freedom. \”Network Neutrality\” — the First Amendment of the Internet — ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.
But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn\’t take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk.
In the end game, only large companies will afford domains if the communications monopolies have their way with this. This of course isnt new news, but its coming to a head and blogs like this one will be a ghosttown unless all of us figure it our pretty darn quick. I wont post any links, but advise that if you value the internet, and blogs likw this one, that you search Google for \”Network Neutrality\” and educate yourself on this issue as it effects all of us.
Currently i’m in Thailand . I would like to check with you guys . How much is Sensubio H2O (250 ml.) in Watson HongKong . if it’s cheaper i’ll go to shop in Hongkong next weekend . Many thanks
I am away from HK at the moment but from memory, I’d say that the price in HK is around HK$190 or around THB809. There is a shop called Angel Cosmetics on D’Aguilar Street (entrance just past the Kentucky Fried Chicken, I believe its the 2nd or 3rd floor) that sells the 500ml size for around the same price. But its not always in stock.
I’m quite a skin care junkie as well. LOL. I’m currently using the Bioderma cleanser for dry/sensitive skin as well! Its really good but rather pricey. Have you tried Kose Softymo Point Cleanser? How would you rate it against Bioderma?
