sensitiveDamaged Barrier

The original pharmacy micellar water — gentle enough for reactive skin, effective at dissolving daily makeup and sunscreen. Not a standalone cleanser if you wear heavy makeup; excellent as a first cleanse or a no-water morning refresh.

Byoma
CleanserBudgetMorning or evening
SensitivityDamaged BarrierDryness

A jelly-to-cream gentle cleanser built on Byoma's tri-ceramide barrier complex. Non-stripping daily cleansing that supports the barrier; a good sensitive-skin pick, though not a heavy makeup remover.
