Buy Cream for Seborrheic Dermatitis Online in Kenya – Bioderma Sensibio DS+ 40ml
Bioderma Sensibio DS+ Cream 40ml is a soothing cream for seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin — the flaking, redness and irritation that settle around the nose, eyebrows, hairline and beard area and never quite go away. It combines gentle anti-fungal agents with calming and moisturising ingredients, so it addresses both sides of the problem: the yeast overgrowth that drives the flaking, and the irritated, uncomfortable skin left behind.
If you have been treating this as ordinary dry skin, or wondering why moisturiser alone never fixes it, this page will make sense of it. At HealthAlone, a trusted Kenyan health store, you get the original sealed 40ml tube with honest, pharmacist-led guidance on WhatsApp before you buy.
What Is Seborrheic Dermatitis, and Do You Have It?
Seborrheic dermatitis is one of the most commonly misread skin conditions there is. Most people call it dry skin and reach for a moisturiser, which is why it keeps coming back.
It is actually a reaction to Malassezia, a yeast that lives on everyone’s skin. In some people the skin over-reacts to it, particularly in oily areas: the sides of the nose, the eyebrows and between them, the hairline, behind the ears, the beard area, and the chest. The result is flaking that looks like dandruff, tightness, itching, and skin that feels irritated. It flares in stressful periods, with weather changes, and with poor sleep, then settles, then returns. Dandruff on the scalp is the same condition — which is why so many people have both.
On Melanin-Rich Skin It Often Looks Different
This part matters, because it is why so many Kenyans go years without recognising it. Textbook descriptions of seborrheic dermatitis emphasise redness — but on darker skin, redness is hard to see. Instead it commonly shows up as lighter patches: pale, sometimes ring-shaped or petal-shaped areas around the nose, eyebrows and hairline, often with fine scaling.
Many people see those pale patches and assume it is a fungal infection, a reaction to a product, or the beginning of something worse. Understandably, it causes real worry. If that describes what you see in the mirror, it is worth asking a healthcare professional to look, because seborrheic dermatitis is common, manageable, and not dangerous — and knowing what you are dealing with is the first relief.
How Sensibio DS+ Helps
It addresses the yeast. Climbazole, piroctone olamine and glyceryl undecylenate are gentle anti-fungal agents that help limit the Malassezia overgrowth driving the flaking. This is what an ordinary moisturiser cannot do, and the reason moisturiser alone never solves the problem.
It calms the irritation. Enoxolone is a well-established soothing agent that helps reduce the discomfort and visible irritation that come with a flare.
It repairs and hydrates. Laminaria extract and fatty acid triglycerides moisturise and support the skin barrier, so skin recovers its comfort instead of staying tight and flaky. Skin affected by this condition is often both oily and dehydrated at the same time, which is confusing to treat — this formula is built for exactly that combination.
Key Benefits of Bioderma Sensibio DS+
- Helps soothe the flaking, scaling and irritation of seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin
- Gentle anti-fungal agents help limit Malassezia overgrowth
- Enoxolone calms discomfort and visible irritation
- Moisturises and supports the skin barrier without heaviness
- Formulated for sensitive, reactive skin that other products aggravate
- Suitable for the face, including the delicate areas where flares appear
- Fits into a routine alongside an anti-dandruff shampoo for the scalp
- Compact 40ml tube — a small amount covers the affected areas
How to Use Sensibio DS+ Cream
- Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser and pat the skin dry.
- Apply a small amount to the affected areas — sides of the nose, eyebrows, hairline, behind the ears, beard area — rather than over the whole face.
- Massage in gently until absorbed.
- Use once or twice daily during a flare, then reduce to maintenance use as the skin settles.
- Follow with sunscreen in the morning, particularly if you have pale patches, since sun exposure makes the difference in tone more obvious.
Two habits that help as much as the cream itself: treat your scalp at the same time with an anti-dandruff shampoo, since the same yeast lives there and reseeds the face; and avoid harsh soaps, alcohol-heavy toners and aggressive scrubbing, all of which reliably make a flare worse. Ask our pharmacist on WhatsApp if you would like help putting a full routine together.
Who Is It For?
It suits adults with seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin, anyone with persistent flaking around the nose, eyebrows or hairline, men whose beard area flakes and itches, people with facial dandruff alongside scalp dandruff, and anyone whose sensitive skin reacts badly to ordinary creams. It works on skin that is oily and flaky at the same time — a combination most moisturisers handle badly.
Safety note: for external use only; avoid the eyes and rinse with clean water if it gets in. Do not apply to broken, weeping or infected skin. Patch test on a small area first if your skin is highly reactive, and stop if irritation develops. Please get a diagnosis rather than self-treating. Flaking and pale patches can look similar across several conditions — fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis and others — and they need different treatment. This is a dermocosmetic cream that helps manage and soothe seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin; it is not a medicine and does not cure the condition, which tends to recur and to need ongoing management. If your symptoms are severe, spreading, painful, or not improving after a few weeks, see a doctor or dermatologist — prescription treatment is sometimes needed, and this cream works well alongside it. Pregnant or breastfeeding, or considering it for a child? Ask our pharmacist or your doctor first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bioderma Sensibio DS+ used for?
It is a soothing facial cream for skin prone to seborrheic dermatitis — the flaking, scaling, itching and irritation that appear around the nose, eyebrows, hairline, behind the ears and in the beard area. It combines gentle anti-fungal agents that help limit Malassezia yeast with soothing and moisturising ingredients that calm and repair the skin.
How do I know if I have seborrheic dermatitis?
Typical signs are persistent flaking and scaling in oily areas of the face, often with itching or tightness, that improves and returns rather than clearing for good. Many people also have scalp dandruff, which is the same condition. Only a healthcare professional can diagnose it, and several other conditions look similar, so it is worth having it properly identified rather than guessing.
Why do I have light patches instead of redness?
This is common on melanin-rich skin. Seborrheic dermatitis is usually described as causing redness, but on darker skin it often appears instead as lighter, sometimes ring-shaped patches with fine scaling, particularly around the nose, eyebrows and hairline. It is a well-recognised presentation and not a sign of something more serious, but do have it confirmed by a professional.
Is seborrheic dermatitis curable?
It is manageable rather than curable. It is a long-term tendency that flares and settles, often with stress, weather changes or poor sleep, so the goal is control rather than a permanent cure. Using a suitable cream during flares and keeping up gentle maintenance care usually keeps it quiet. Persistent or severe cases need medical treatment.
How often should I use it?
Once or twice daily on the affected areas during a flare, reducing to occasional maintenance use once the skin settles. Apply it only where you need it rather than across the whole face. Consistency during a flare matters more than quantity.
Should I treat my scalp too?
Usually yes. The same Malassezia yeast lives on the scalp, and scalp dandruff often reseeds the face, so treating only the face means fighting half the problem. Pairing this cream with a suitable anti-dandruff shampoo generally works far better than either alone. Our pharmacist can suggest one on WhatsApp.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — it is formulated specifically for sensitive, reactive skin, which is the skin type most affected by this condition. That said, skin in the middle of a flare is easily irritated, so patch test on a small area first and stop if you notice increased burning or redness. Avoid harsh soaps and alcohol-based toners while using it.
Can I use it with prescription treatment from my doctor?
Often yes, and many people do. It is a dermocosmetic cream rather than a medicine, so it is commonly used alongside prescribed antifungal or anti-inflammatory treatment, and afterwards for maintenance. Check with your doctor or our pharmacist about how to combine them, and never stop a prescribed treatment in order to use a cream instead.
How much does Bioderma Sensibio DS+ cost in Kenya?
Prices vary, and counterfeit Bioderma circulates widely in this market. You will see the current price of the 40ml tube right on this page, always up to date. A small amount covers the affected areas, so a tube lasts longer than its size suggests — and with sensitive, inflamed skin, original sealed stock from a licensed pharmacist-led store is what you are really paying for.
Where can I buy Bioderma Sensibio DS+ in Kenya?
You can buy Bioderma Sensibio DS+ Cream 40ml online at HealthAlone, a trusted Kenyan health store. We deliver across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and the rest of Kenya, and we serve customers in East Africa, including Uganda and Tanzania.
