I have sensitive-skinned friends who swear by Physiogel
products. Personally, I have yet to try any from them (until now, obviously)
because I know I don’t have sensitive skin and it’s pretty obvious with how
adventurous I am with the makeup and skin care products I’ve used. I can only
imagine the struggle that my sensitive-skinned friends go through. As much as
they’d want to try new products, they just can’t and they have to be extra
careful all the time because when they get a breakout, it can sometimes be far
worse than what I would call my breakout.
So when Physiogel sent me their new Daily Moisture Therapy
line to try out, I got so excited that I have something now to share to my
sensitive-skinned friends and blog readers. I’ve been using this line
religiously for about two weeks now and here are my thoughts:
PHYSIOGEL DAILY
MOISTURE THERAPY DERMO-CLEANSER
According to the packaging: This gentle cleansing gel is appropriate for frequent use with or
without rinsing. Also suitable for babies and children. No colorants.
The Good Bits:
With makeup! |
Using the cream cleanser here. |
Done! Squeaky clean with no makeup anymore! :D |
I am in love with this product. I do not believe in
cleansers which can be used without water but when a brownout happened at my
place because of the heavy rain, I got lazy and told myself, “what the heck, I’m trying this out without
water!” It did a really good job with cleaning up my face and even removing
my makeup. Wow! Oh and no worries with regard to the scent… It doesn’t smell
like anything. It’s basically scent-less (is that even a word?).
The Bad Bits:
None I can think of. I am in love with this product. What
can I say? I love this product.
Over-All:
I am buying my next one and will have this as a staple in my
skin care routine. For the price of PHP220.00, you are getting more than your
money’s worth. I'm giving it a rating of 10/10.
PHYSIOGEL DAILY
MOISTURE BODY LOTION
According to the packaging: This light weight, fast absorbing lotion spreads easily and is
appropriate for all over body use. Also suitable for babies and children.
Clinically tested by dermatologists. Noncomedogenic and hypoallergenic.
The Good Bits:
One of the things I look for in a lotion is that it should
be fast absorbing and I’m glad this one is. It doesn’t feel sticky and icky
upon application, it doesn’t have a scent too, and it gives your skin just the
right amount of moisture it needs. Well aside from my personal experience, the best
part of this is the science behind why it gives your skin so much protection.
According to Physiogel, it uses a BioMimic Technology® formula that mimics the skin’s
very own lipids so that it can restore the skin’s natural barrier to lock-in
moisture and improve hydration. Oh and It also forms a layer of protective
barrier on the skin, preventing harmful irritants or allergens from penetrating
to make skin less sensitive.
The Bad Bits:
I prefer using this only at night because it doesn’t have
any SPF. Because I go out and travel a lot both for leisure and work, I need a
day lotion/moisturizer which can be an all-in-one product. Moisturizing,
fast-drying, and has SPF.
Over-All:
I like it but it lacks something I need. I think that part
of the protection should include SPF but hey, it’s still a good product which I
would recommend perfect for night use. Yep, moisturize even at night. This
product costs PHP420.00. My rating for this is 8/10.
PHYSIOGEL DAILY
MOISTURE THERAPY CREAM
According to its packaging: The cream works naturally and gently with your skin to repair its
moisture barrier and make skin less sensitive. The advanced BioMimic Technology® accelerates
dry skin repair by supporting the natural process of the skin.
The Good Bits:
Just
like the rest of the Daily Moisture Therapy line, it doesn’t have any scent and
I love the moisturized feeling it gives your skin. I use it more of as a night
cream than a day cream and I’m happy that after waking up from my beauty sleep,
I really feel that the moisturizing properties of this product has worked its
way into my skin.
The Bad Bits:
I
tried using it as a day cream but I didn’t quite like it as that. First of all,
it doesn’t have SPF content and it doesn’t get easily absorbed by the skin. You
need to wait quite long for it to get absorbed and it feels kind of a bit
sticky. Since I prefer my makeup matte and long lasting, this will not be a
good day cream for me.
Over-All:
I
will continue using this product as a night cream as it really does work best that
way for me. It costs PHP750.00 and my rating for this is 7/10.
I
love this line and would highly recommend to people with dry and sensitive
skin. I can already think of friends and family members who would be happy to
try this out. The cleanser is my ultimate favorite and is the one I’m sure of
purchasing once my stock runs out.
How
about you, do you have dry and sensitive skin? What product/s are you currently
using? Have you tried Physiogel before? Share your thoughts and comments below.
Would love to know what you think.
Looking gorgeous! x

DeleteI don't think I've seen this brand here in Canada, is it a local brand? The cleanser did such a brilliant job removing your makeup, it's pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
It's not originally from the Philippines, actually. When I checked their website, true that they're not available in Canada but they're available in the US actually. Produced by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) :)
DeleteIve never heard of this brand but it looks like a great one! Thanks for sharing

It is, Darriyan! :)
DeleteThese sound like great products. I've actually never heard of them before. Unfortunately, I have the exact opposite skin haha. My skin is oily and non-sensitive, so these probably wouldn't be something I'd try. I am wondering what Shireen is too. Is this a local product to you? Or can you find it in the US? Thanks for sharing! I love reading skin care reviews and discovering new stuff eeeep!

It's actually available in US too. It's from GlaxoSmithKline. :D

What? A no-rinse cleanser? That is interesting! I would love to try that but I am very OC and I don't think I would feel comfortable not rinsing my face. But that is a very interesting concept. Hmmm....thinking. :)

DeleteI also like Physiogel products and I do agree that they work best during the evening. I also prefer using moisturizers with SPF during day time although most of the time I use a separate product or sunscreen if I need added protection. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd something that gets absorbed fast for day moisturizer! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great review and thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteIs the facial cream also non-comedogenic. I looked up the ingredients and one of them is coconut oil so I'm a bit worried. Lovely, detailed review!
ReplyDeleteI can use body lotion on my face or not ?
