Bioderma Pigmentbio Foaming Cream

Bioderma Pigmentbio Foaming Cream is a gentle exfoliating cleanser for dullness, dark spots and uneven tone. Its creamy foam cleanses while mild acids and fine cellulose microbeads lift away dead surface cells, so skin looks brighter and more even with regular use.

What it does

• Cleanses and gently exfoliates in one step
• Helps fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone over time
• Leaves skin smoother and more radiant
• Doubles as a 5-minute brightening mask

Key ingredients

• Citric acid (an AHA) – loosens dull surface cells for gentle exfoliation
• Azelaic acid – helps even out the look of skin tone
• Cellulose acetate microbeads – a soft, gentle polish
• Shea oil – keeps skin comfortable after cleansing

Who it's for

All skin types with dullness, tanning, post-acne marks or uneven tone. If your skin is very sensitive, start with a few times a week.

Where it fits in your routine

Massage a coin-sized amount onto a damp face or body in gentle circles, without scrubbing, then rinse. Use once a day, morning or night, depending on how your skin tolerates it. As a mask, apply a thick layer for 5 minutes once or twice a week, then wet, lather and rinse. Because it exfoliates, wear sunscreen every morning.

FAQs

Q1. How does Pigmentbio Foaming Cream work differently from a regular cleanser for pigmented skin?
A1. It combines cleansing with active brightening and gentle exfoliation in a single step. LumiReveal™ Technology — Bioderma's proprietary brightening complex — works during the cleansing contact time, while Citric Acid (an AHA) and Cellulose Acetate microbeads provide light exfoliation that accelerates the shedding of hyperpigmented surface cells. Azelaic Acid adds melanin inhibition. The net result is that each wash contributes to spot reduction rather than being a neutral cleansing step, which compounds over time with regular use.

Q2. Can it be used as a mask in addition to a regular cleanser?
A2. Yes — apply a coin-sized amount to damp skin, leave for 5–10 minutes, then rinse. This extended contact time allows the AHA and brightening actives to work more intensively than the rinse-off cleansing routine provides. Used as a mask once or twice weekly, it gives a deeper exfoliating and brightening effect; used daily as a cleanser, the action is gentler and cumulative.

Q3. What skin types can use it?
A3. It's suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin — the AHA concentration is mild enough for general use. For very dry skin, follow with an intensive moisturizer as the exfoliating action can temporarily increase surface dryness in those with already-compromised barrier function.

Q4. How does it fit into the complete Pigmentbio routine?
A4. It's the first step: Pigmentbio Foaming Cream (cleanse and prep) → Pigmentbio C-Concentrate or Pigmentbio Night Renewer (treatment step) → Moisturizer → Bioderma Photoderm or Anthelios SPF 50+ (morning). The brightening cleanser primes exfoliated, fresh skin to absorb the treatment serums more effectively.

Q5. Is daily exfoliating in a cleanser too much for the skin?
A5. The AHA concentration in the cleanser is low and the contact time is short, making it appropriate for daily use for most skin types. It produces a gentler, cumulative effect compared to leave-on AHA treatments or dedicated exfoliating masks. If you're already using a leave-on retinol or AHA at night, use the Pigmentbio Foaming Cream only in the morning to avoid over-exfoliation.
