As a brand, I love Deciem and I love that they bring science to the beauty world, make it interesting, you always learn something and I am yet to be left feeling disappointed by a product I have tried from the range. So Hylamide High Effiencient Cleaner is the newest product to my collection and I just love it.
Referred to as a cleaner rather than a cleanser, Hylamide is described as being 'a crystal clear micro-emulsion that works like an oil cleanser but feels like a water-based one to leave skin perfectly clean and clear'. Expertly formulated, Mediterranean Crambe and East Asian Kanuga Oils work alongside fruit and plant extracts to help eliminate impurities, excess oil and makeup. Purified Tomato Carotenoids and Amazonian Oils then leave behind a protective non-comedogenic barrier to combat dirt and harmful pollutants. So just like that we have a product which promises to:
- Removes all traces of makeup
- Eliminate impurities
- Purifies the pores
- Eliminates excess Oil
- Provide surface hydration to the skin
When using Hylamide, if you are wearing makeup, then you should apply it directly to a dry face, if you have removed your makeup already, then you apply it to a wet face. I have tried using it both ways and it works incredibly well either way. On a dry face, I pour Hylamide into the palm of my hands then massage onto my face and in doing so, you can feel and see your makeup and other gubbins simply breaking down and being removed. I used a Muslin cloth to wipe my face after I felt I had massaged for long enough and more makeup, dirt and grime came off my face than I was expecting! On a wet face, ensure your face is obviously damp, it doesn't need to dripping down your skin, but repeat the action above and although you cannot see 'stuff' being removed as clearly using this method, if you wipe your face afterwords with a Muslin cloth (or flannel) then you will see just how much 'stuff' there was to remove and it might possibly make you feel a tad green and a little bit ashamed!
Once dry, my skin always feeling amazingly clean, soft to the touch and as though it can breathe. An issue i have with living in London is that sometimes after a day of travelling around, I just want to come home and clean my face because it feels just totally vile. So havin Hylamide within my grasp helps put me at ease. There is no drying feeling, my skin doesn't feel tight and nor have I had any kind of reaction. I always add my serum and moisturising cream after using and everything applies like a dream.
Hylamide High Efficiency Face Cleaner is £19 available to order online from Lookfantastic and in some Boots stores.
