Bioderma

Sensibio H2O is designed to work without rinsing. Most people still prefer to follow it with a gentle cleanser at night, especially after heavy makeup or sunscreen, and that's fine.

Sensibio for sensitive, normal or dry skin. Sebium for oily and blemish-prone. Same idea, different formula.

Atoderm is the line for it, and Intensive Baume is the one to reach for during a flare. It isn't a medication though — if the skin is cracked or weeping, see a dermatologist.

NAOS, an independent French group near Lyon. Unlike most pharmacy skincare brands, it isn't part of a large multinational, which is why you'll sometimes see it positioned differently to La Roche-Posay or Vichy.

Genuinely close. Effaclar tends to be the stronger, more actively drying route; Sebium is gentler and better tolerated if your skin is oily but easily irritated. Sebium Hydra has no real Effaclar equivalent.
