A couple of weeks ago I was kindly sent some products from
Heimish to test and review:
Matcha Biome Redness Relief Hydrating Toner: this Watery Essence has a pH of 5.5 and is designed for calming & hydrating the skin.
The main ingredient is Green Tea extract, a great anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory that can help reduce redness. It also contains Sugarcane Extract, a natural source of AHA that adds hydration while gently exfoliating the skin; plus soothing probiotics.
This Toner is beautifully lightweight with almost instant absorption, it makes my skin feel so hydrated and moisturised that I could skip using a separate moisturiser afterwards without any problem. My skin is soothed and redness appears reduced.
It has a prominent, classically 'masculine' herbal scent which I really enjoy and is provided by the several natural extracts and oils including Lavender and Bitter Orange. The dark green bottle and weighted golden cap give it a luxurious look.
It is a toner I would highly recommend if you have oily skin like me and I would purchase it in the future.
Matcha Biome Oil-Free/Calming Gel Moisturizer: this moisturiser is designed to calm, hydrate and balance the skin using Green Tea Extract, Glycerin, Niacinamide and Centella Asiatica plus probiotics.
It has a light gel consistency that absorbs very quickly into the skin without stickiness or residue, leaving a soft matte look and a velvety feel to the skin. It gently moisturises and helps reduce redness.
This Gel Moisturiser has a faint sweet, fruity scent that doesn't linger. I find that a small pea sized amount is enough to cover my whole face so it is very cost-effective.
It layers well under sunscreen while retaining its mattifying properties although I felt a slightly bigger amount of sunscreen was needed due to the velvety texture finish making it a bit harder to spread.
Marine Care Eye Cream: this product has Anti-Wrinkle & Brightening properties delivered by the use of several Marine Extracts, Niacinamide, Edelweiss, Peptides and Adenosine.
It also contains Macadamia Seed Oil and Shea Butter to nourish however, it never feels heavy no matter how much I use thanks to its whipped texture, making it great for oily skin. The eye area is left lightly moisturised but for dry skin this may not be enough.
I like the sturdy packaging and love the tool it comes with, which has a handy scoop on one side and a cooling metallic massager on the other side - it feels so relaxing to use and it is ideal to reduce puffiness, especially during allergy season.
This Eye Cream has a fresh, oceanic scent which I enjoy, it's easy to spread and to layer other products on top. It also seems to have helped increase eye lash density which is a great bonus. Would definitely have it again.
Have you tried Heimish skincare?
