[REVIEW] Byme Skincare | Plant based sources skincare (Suitable for All skin types including Sensitive skin)

An honest review of Byme Skincare

Recently explored a new skincare brand and I kinda think that the name of the brand is super cute, namely 'Byme' Skincare with a tagline of 'By me for you'. Hehe. Before I get into details on the products, let me share with you what makes Byme a convincing brand to me. The concept behind Byme skincare products is actually that they use naturally derived ingredients that would give a result of effortless beauty. And yes, this would also mean that their ingredients are plant-based sources which gives me a sense of relief when using it (especially when im currently 7 months pregnant!).

The current 5 products that are available by Byme Skincare

Founded by Bonnie Low, she had skin issues herself when she was younger which prevented her from using conventional skincare products. Because she has sensitive skin, she had very limited options and had to go for medicinal skin care products which she's prescribed to. With that in mind, she decided to come up with Byme Skincare with a mission to bright out the best in you by formulating skincare that provides you with beautifully hydrated skin. Now, let's get into details on the products that 'Byme' has to offer. 

Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water

RM65.00

Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water

Comes in a plastic bottle

The Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing water is more of a makeup remover that would gently cleanse your skin after a long day. After about a week of owning this gentle cleansing water, I personally use it as a makeup remover, or simply when I need an extra cleanse when my skin feels like it's covered with pollutants. It has this similar feel to a micellar water makeup remover, but I like it a lot more because it's more gentle and it leaves the skin feeling soft and supple after using it. It contains a variant of vitamin B5 infusion that would naturally skin well hydrated. 

Apply it on a cotton pad

Results after one swipe to remove makeup

I'd say it does a pretty good job in removing makeup

It comes in a plastic bottle with a black cap that contains 120ml of cleansing water. Usually, I would use a cotton pad and dap an adequate amount of cleansing water and wipe off my make up by gently by wiping the cotton pad on my face. I was pretty impressed that despite putting very light pressure as I was removing my makeup, this did a pretty good job without really making my skin feel likes it's being harshly exfoliated. It's not oily, and it really leaves a clean finish. I approve!

Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse

RM99.00

Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse

After removing makeup, the next step is to use the Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse. From the name itself, you would have guessed that it's a foam cleanser which is one of my favorite type of cleansers! It comes out in rich lather and the best part is, its a soap-free cleansing mousse! Being soap-free, it would unlikely cause any irritation to the skin, and how it gently removes impurities is through their active ingredients which would be the German Chamomile extract. It comes in a plastic pump bottle and contains about 150ml of product. 

Comes in a foam texture

Pump 2 times on palm and apply to face

Cleanse in a circular motion then rinse

The benefit behind a cleansing mousse would be that it's naturally derived from coconuts, this ingredient is toxin-free, easily-rinsed off, and leaves no residue and irritation. It has also been clinically proven to improve skins pH balance while providing comfort when cleansing. I personally would pump 2 times onto my palms and lather onto the face while gently massaging face in a circular motion. Once cleansed, gently rinse off with water. I actually love the refreshing feel of my skin after cleansing as there's no tight drying feeling on the skin, and just as it claims, it leaves the skin feeling supple and cleansed

Radiant Glow Skin Essence

RM90.00

Radiant Glow Skin Essence

Comes in a 120ml plastic bottle

Once youre done cleansing, next would be to apply the Radiant Glow Skin Essence. This is apparently a two in one toner and serum that hydrates the skin effectively with its active ingredients to improve on hydration and cell structure. If youre looking to make your skin glow within this range, this would be the secret to it! It comes in a 120ml plastic bottle with a white cap which I appreciate since the size of the bottle is almost similar to the Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water. Very thoughtful of them to think this through by differentiating the product by color coding the caps. 

The texture is like a slightly thick liquid

Very concentrated essence that works as a toner and serum

The essence is formulated to reduce inflammation and has been clinically tested to improve the skin's barrier and prevents rashes and breakouts. The ingredients are also naturally derived from reed flowers and fuling china root. Its toxin-free and cruelty-free making it suitable for all skin types while providing sufficient protection and nourishment for the skin. For this, I would usually dab a sufficient amount onto the palms of my hands and gently tap my face until the essence is fully absorbed. The texture is slightly on the sticky side if you ask me, but after a few minutes, till the essence is fully absorbed, you'd hardly notice the sticky feeling on the skin. I guess it takes a while for the skin to absorb the essence. 

Radiant Glow Complexion Cream

RM99.00

Radiant Glow Complexion Cream

Thick creamy texture, similar to sunblock

And to lock in the essence, it's always good to have the Radiant Glow Complexion Cream as a moisturizer which may also act as a makeup base. By using the Radiant Glow Complexion Cream, this rejuvenates the skin cells and brightens the complexion while providing hydration for the skin. It also has a mild sun blocking agent to keep your skin protected from harsh UV rays, but of course, it's always best to apply proper sunscreen for extra protection. It comes in a small pump bottle that contains about 30ml of product. 

Easy to apply and works great as a makeup base

Since the texture of the cream is a little heavy, I would use 1 pump of it and apply it onto the 5 points of my face. Gently spreading it out to ensure that its evenly spread out, the only comment that I have for this would be that it does leave your skin feeling slightly greasy, but it works great with makeup as it keeps your makeup fresh to last you throughout the day. Not a fan of the greasy texture, but once you apply your loose powder, youre good to go as it leaves your skin with a smooth finish. 

Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask Box (5pcs)

RM62.00

Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask

There are instructions on the back of the pack as well

For an extra boost in moisture, I actually really enjoyed using the Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask. The mask is silky and translucent, so it feels really comfortable to leave it on the skin while you wait for the mask to do all the work. Designed to hydrate the skin with its naturally derived moisturizing ingredients, it has been proven to leave my skin soft and supple after application. The mask pack has instructions on it and it would be recommended to leave it on for about 20-30 minutes for best results.    

Easy to apply and it's very thin

Generous with the essence

Use the extra's to wipe on body

When opening the individually packed mask, you'll find 3 layers of sheets that protect the mask. I usually remove the white sheet first, then gently apply it directly to the skin with the blue sheet facing outwards. Once satisfied with placing, remove the blue sheet and adjust the mask to your liking. The mask is so juicy that even after applying it on your face, you would also notice that there is extra essence in the pack. Don't let good essence go to waste, and maybe just apply it on your body. 

VERDICT?

What are my thoughts on Byme Skincare?

As a verdict, I would have to say that im impressed with Byme Skincare products and I honestly feel that the product is very safe for those who would like to opt for products that are toxin-free and cruelty-free. I am also convinced that the formulation for each product is effective and I find it a bonus that their products are derived from natural ingredients. What more can you really ask for from a skincare set? Hehe. It's minimal, and it does the job! In terms of price, I would say that it may be a little on the higher end, but for something that doesn't contain harsh ingredients that would harm the skin, its a fair price charge since it worked on my skin very well without giving me any breakouts.
