Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as Panthenol and Caprylic Capric Triglyceride provide humectant and emollient actions, respectively, supporting hydration and soothing effects for your dry or flaky skin. Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract further aids in calming and moisturizing your skin.
- The formulation effectively dissolves makeup due to the presence of isododecane and isohexadecane, offering general skincare benefits that are supportive for your dry or flaky skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your dry skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover in your PM routine every evening to gently clean your face. Always pair with a gentle cleanser afterward.
- Apply this makeup remover as a pre-cleanser step before using your regular cleanser and moisturizer.
- Gently wipe a small amount of makeup remover across your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid any harsh rubbing on dry or flaky skin.
- Apply the makeup remover directly onto dry skin to easily dissolve makeup without stripping your natural moisture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Avoid direct contact with your eyes and do a patch test before first use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Questions and answers
How well does Bioderma Sensibio H2O Eye work for dry skin?
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Eye works moderately well for dry skin, as its panthenol and caprylic capric triglyceride help support hydration and soothe flaky areas. It is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation, but a makeup remover for dry skin works better when it features multiple types of hyaluronic acid or a rich blend of nourishing oils for deeper moisture.

Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for dry skin?
Panthenol and caprylic capric triglyceride make this makeup remover a fit for your dry skin by helping to hold moisture and smooth the surface. Laminaria ochroleuca extract further aids in calming and moisturizing. A makeup remover for dry skin needs deep hydration from multiple types of hyaluronic acid or a rich blend of nourishing oils alongside gentle soothing ingredients.
What does Panthenol do for dry skin?
Panthenol helps dry skin by keeping it soft and holding onto moisture while repairing your skin barrier. It also helps soothe redness and rough patches, making it very gentle and comfortable for everyday use.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017
What do Fructooligosaccharides do for dry skin?
Fructooligosaccharides help improve dry skin by soothing itching and restoring a healthy moisture barrier. They work by balancing the skin surface microbes and supporting natural epidermal lipids so skin feels more comfortable and smooth.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, or as a weekly step before your cleanser, nourishing mask, treatment, and moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation on dry skin due to its safe, gentle formulation, but dry skin often needs richer oils and deeper hydrating ingredients to stay soft and smooth.

Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening before your cleanser and retinol treatment. To best support dry skin, a product of this type needs extra rich hydrators and soothing barrier-building ingredients.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002
How often should I use it?
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Eye is suitable for use in your evening routine when removing makeup, or weekly as needed. This product works well for dry skin, though a makeup remover with richer oils and butters is needed to better soothe and deeply nourish dry skin.
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This makeup remover is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin due to its safe ingredients and lack of harsh components. However, for a better fit on dry skin, a product of this type needs richer oils and deep moisturizers to keep flaky areas soft and smooth.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.
Life, 2023Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects.
