Suitable for oily to combination skin, the Bioderma Sebium range has the Fluidactiv Patent, the only patent in the market that biologically regulates quality of sebum similar to that of healthy skin, targets the source of oily skin and stops the process which causes pimples and clogged pores to form.

Bioderma’s Sebium range now includes two new oil-fighting products, the Bioderma Sebium Mat Lotion and the Bioderma Sebium Mat Control.

Do you know what affects our skin’s sebum?

1) Hormones

• Imbalances and changes in hormonal activity can result in the excess production of sebum.
• Risk of qualitative sebum abnormality.
• Having thicker sebum that has a more difficult time flowing out of the follicle, which increases the risk of clogged pores and pimples.
• Prevents damage to skin immune system and preserves antioxidant reserve.

2) Improper Skincare

• Using skincare products that are not suitable for your skin can irritate and worsen acne-prone and oily skin.
• For example, the use of aggressive cleansing products can lead to skin barrier issues, pH instability and reactional hyperseborrhea, where skin produces even more sebum to compensate for the removal of all the sebum from skin’s surface.

3) Lifestyle

• Diet and stress are some factors that can influence the production of sebum.
• For example, a high-glycemic diet (sugar, flour, rice etc.) and high stress levels elevate hormones that increase the activity of sebaceous glands, contributing to the formation of acne.
