The product

Caring for your skin's microbiome has never been easier. ICYMI: Your skin has its own ecosystem, working to maintain a healthy, happy balance. Some of our skin care products disrupt this balance and can occasionally cause an irritation within your skin barrier - obviously not ideal.

Thankfully, we've just come across (with the help of our REVIEWcrew), the new and improved BIODERMA Sensibio AR+ Cream and its cooling, skin-supporting spritzing ally, the BIODERMA Sensibio AR+ SOS Spray. The lightweight, ultra-hydrating cream has been designed to strengthen your skin barrier and even work to reduce the visible signs of redness, while the SOS spritz has been infused with skin-cooling goodness.

So, if you're after a sensitive skin-friendly, barrier-protecting duo that's going to see you through the warmer weather, then our members have some more intel we think you're going to want to hear...

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the BIODERMA Sensibio AR+ Cream and SOS Spray to a panel of women aged 25 and over looking for skin-supporting solutions.

The lowdown

The hydrating benefits: The AR+ cream offers a new and improved, ultra-hydrating formula. Our members loved the inclusion of long-lasting hydrating ingredients such as glycerine, sunflower seed wax, squalane and coconut oil. Plus, with such hydrating, microbiome centered ingredients, our members found that their skin barriers felt stronger and more supported through using the products.

How supported their skin felt: The biomimetic lipids in this formula are great for helping to support the skin, by treating the skin barrier as its own ecosystem rather than working against it. Our members found that this type of formula worked wonders for keeping their skin barrier supported throughout a variety of different skin concerns.

The sensitive skin-friendly formula: Bioderma is a brand beloved for their sensitive skin-friendly formulas, so it's fitting that the AR+ range has been dermatologically-tested, making it suitable to use on even the fussiest of skin. Our member who trialled the range had been dealing with sensitised and irritation-prone skin, so this supportive range was a massive plus.

This cream quickly became a reliable part of my daily routine. The lightweight, fragrance-free texture absorbed easily without leaving any greasiness, making it ideal for both morning and evening use. Despite being light, it was surprisingly hydrating and soothing. I noticed a visible reduction in redness and sensitivity without the stinging or tingling I often experience with other moisturisers. It layered smoothly under makeup without pilling, which was a big plus. Over the trial period, my skin felt calmer, less reactive, and more comfortable overall. For anyone dealing with redness-prone or sensitive skin, this moisturiser strikes a balance between comfort and performance, with the added reassurance of being well tolerated by easily irritated skin. I would recommend it to friends or family looking for everyday relief.

I’ve been using the BIODERMA Sensibio AR+ Cream for about a couple of weeks now, and overall, it’s been a solid addition to my routine. This cream has been a reliable addition for my suddenly temperamental perimenopausal skin which feels especially reactive, red and unpredictable. It’s lightweight, fragrance-free, and calming. It hasn’t caused any irritation, flare-ups or breakouts. It absorbs quickly and works really well under makeup, which is a big plus. It’s moisturising but it’s not super rich or sticky. I often layer a heavier moisturiser over it at night, especially if my skin feels extra dry. Overall, it's a great option for sensitive, temperamental skin. Definitely a steady, skin-soothing one that I have enjoyed and will repurchase.

I was super impressed with this gorgeous spray. I have very sensitive skin and I am very reactive to some fragrances and it was great to try a product that is fragrance free and makes my skin feel cool and hydrated. I used the SOS spray after cleansing, and it provided a good base for moisturiser and serum. I also tried it after makeup application and it was useful to reduce redness and did not disturb the finish of my foundation. I would certainly purchase this, and with summer coming up, I will look forward to using it to cool down!

After consistently using BIODERMA Sensibio AR + SOS Spray I can honestly say it has become a staple in my routine. The spray comes in a sleek, lightweight canister and the mist is super fine, no aggressive squirts, just a soft cooling cloud that lands gently on the skin. It's completely fragrance free which I appreciate. I use the SOS spray mainly in the morning and then again in the afternoon if I notice any flushing. There's a noticeable calming effect within seconds, it doesn't sting or tingle, it just makes the skin feel more balanced and less inflamed. I love how portable and low-maintenance this spray is. You don’t need to rub it in—just spray and let it settle. It dries quickly and leaves no residue, stickiness, or film. Overall, I think the Sensibio AR+ SOS Spray is a fantastic option for anyone dealing with sensitive, red, or rosacea-prone skin. It’s easy to use, delivers real results, and feels incredibly gentle. I’ll definitely be repurchasing as well as Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water and AR+ cream.
