While we can’t change the weather, we did spot a great deal on a French pharmacy staple that gives your skin indulgent nourishment as you wash durign the warmer months. Beloved for their micellar water, European brand Bioderma also makes this highly-rated, super soothing shower oil, which users call a “lifesaver” and “godsend” for heat rashes and sunburned and parched skin. While it typically runs for $33.99, it’s currently on sale for 25% off, the lowest price we’ve seen this year, over at Amazon and Ulta. It’s what one reviewer calls a “life-changing, holy grail product.”
Made with niacinamide and agents to replenish lipids, this rinse-off oil is gentle enough for daily use, with reviewers saying they use it on their kids and babies, too.
From the brand’s Atoderm line, it’s intended for those with dry and sensitive skin, offering cleansing and restoration without irritation.
“I’ve struggled to find the right body wash for my eczema-prone skin. I’ve tried many products, but this one really impressed me,” reviewer Peter wrote. “It leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and velvety, providing a lasting moisturizing effect that helps soothe irritation. What sets it apart is how effectively it cleans without stripping the skin of its natural oils, which is often a problem with other hypoallergenic or gentle cleansers.”
Many reviewers note that Bioderma doesn’t make your shower slippery, feel sticky or “leave an oily film” (as other oils can), so reviewers of a mature age or really, anyone worried about falling in the shower feel safer using it. Users also love the product’s gentle, clean scent that’s not overpowering or irritating.
The brand recommends following this oil with their intensive balm which, as luck would have it, is also 25% off today.
Reviewers love this duo for its intense moisturizing ability. Loved by folks with eczema, acne and dry skin, shoppers note they use it for everything from shaving to removing makeup and taking a bath.
If you’re looking to cleanse and nourish your skin with some extra TLC in the heat, grab a bottle of this French shower oil while it’s on sale and double up on the skin love with the balm if you like!

“If you’ve ever felt sticky from. body wash after a shower, skin was tight, or still felt deodorant residue while showering then you need this! My skin always feels clean after using this!
I’ve incorporated this shower oil in my everyday routine especially super long hot days, gym days or when ever i need a really good “everything” shower. This gets all the muck, dirt, dead skin off your body. The smell reminds me of baby soap, not overwhelming at all but it’s not very viscous but lathers okay. I would say the first time buying this i got the 16.9fl oz and feel like i went through it so fast but I see this lasting a lot longer once I realized you dont need a lot. And for the price you can definitely stretch the product and make it last!
I know I used too much and going through it fast but once I realized that, I’d say use a little bit of body wash to extend the lather but not many pumps are needed. I’d also recommend washing with this first and then your body wash and then a quick once over with what’s left on your loofah/cloth to make sure there’s no left over body wash.
I’d also say this is pretty moisturizing, BUT please keep in mind washing in super hot water will always make your skin tight and you wont retain much moisture without adding it back in HOWEVER I can definitely say with using this product I find when I take my hot showers, my face doesn’t feel overly dry and tight but I do make sure to moisturize properly afterward.
This is a must have for any shower routine!” — cathy
“I’ve been using the Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil for both my face and body and it has completely elevated my shower routine. Unlike traditional body washes, this feels silky and comforting on the skin, cleansing effectively without stripping moisture. From the first few uses, my skin felt noticeably softer, smoother and far less tight after showering which is a major improvement for dry or sensitive skin.
What I particularly appreciate is how it hydrates while it cleanses, thanks to its lipid-replenishing formula and gentle, soap-free composition. It leaves a subtle protective feel without any greasy residue. This cleansing oil is a luxurious yet practical everyday cleanser that delivers real hydration and comfort. Ideal for anyone dealing with dryness or sensitivity.” — Ina

A widely endorsed ketoconazole shampoo
Experts regularly sing the praises of the reviewer-beloved Nizoral shampoo, a "gold-standard" of dandruff treatments, according to one dermatologist.
"The active ingredient in this dandruff shampoo is [1%] ketoconazole, which has antifungal properties," Camp explained. And although he admits that evidence is limited, ketoconazole may help to reduce inflammation and the hormonal influences that can contribute to hair loss in addition to helping to alleviate dandruff.
And if you're traumatized by other medicated anti-dandruff shampoos in the past, reviewers assure us that, unlike other market options that smell unpleasant, are harsh on hair and can have it feeling dry and gunky, Nizoral leaves tresses soft and clean-smelling.
