If you’ve read my previous articles, you’d know by now that I take a great deal in properly taking care of my skin. Over the years, I’ve tried and tested all sorts of skincare products, but as of now, I finally found a routine that my skin is very happy with. This routine includes Blissoma’s Awake – Morning Firming Facial Moisture and Peace – Evening Calming Creme. Before my review, let’s learn a little about the brand, shall we?
Blissoma champions 100% natural products, combining herbal form and function, resulting in botanical innovations that really work. The brand provides remedies that directly address the root causes of discomforts, imbalances and problems with the skin. Faithfully offering medicinal compounds from plants, the ingredients are fresh and blended with skill to offer a final product that is uniquely effective as well as pleasant to use.
Here’s what the Blissoma website claims about both products:
Awake – Morning Firming Facial Moisture
- 21 active ingredients
- For normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin types
- 100% natural, botanical recipe with antioxidants, vitamins, and firming herbs
- 1 oz quantity provides enough to use product once daily for one month
- Organic herbs freshly extracted at potent, healing concentrations
Peace – Evening Calming Creme
- 22 active ingredients
- For normal, combination, mature, dry, and all skin types and ages
- 100% natural, botanical recipe with minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties
- 1 oz quantity provides enough to use product once daily for one month
- Organic herbs freshly extracted at potent, healing concentrations
When I first received these products, the colour put me off instantly. Never have I used any dirty green-coloured products on my skin and after finding out that they were 100% natural, I was put off even more. Yes, I was that sceptical.
Another thing you would notice instantly is the smell. These products are formulated with tons of good stuff for your skin without additional chemicals, hence, the smell is very herby and medicinal. At first, I totally hated it, but the more I used these products, the more I look forward to breathing in that natural scent. Although it is strong, the scent is very calming and therapeutic. Both the products smell similar and besides waking me up in the mornings, the scent also relaxes my mind at night time. It lingers, but disappears after a while.
As you can see from the photo above, the Awake – Morning Firming Facial Moisture is much thinner in consistency compared to Peace – Evening Calming Creme. Let’s first talk about the Morning Firming Facial Moisture. If you look closely at the moisturiser itself, you will see tiny bits of blended herbs and whatever not that’s used to create this product. This was kind of concerning for me, but these bits don’t show up on the skin.
After cleansing my face in the morning and applying a serum, I would use one pump of this moisturiser. A little goes a long way and one pump is sufficient. It smooths very easily over the skin and doesn’t feel oily. This moisturiser absorbs amazingly well into the skin! If you don’t spread it quick enough, you won’t have any more left to spread as it would have been completely absorbed by then. It disappears into nothing and feels very comfortable to wear. It hydrates just enough and makes my skin look brighter and plump.
I wear makeup daily and I’m glad that this moisturiser works perfect under my makeup. I’ve used moisturisers that didn’t absorb very well and as a result, my makeup wouldn’t adhere as much, fading off throughout the day. With this moisturiser on, my makeup stays on really well and most importantly, it really keeps oils at bay. After I switched to using this moisturiser, I stopped using a finishing powder to set my makeup because I simply don’t need it.
As for the Peace – Evening Calming Creme, the consistency is thicker, but it works just as well. After a long day, I would remove my makeup, cleanse my face and apply my serum as well as eye cream before putting on this moisturiser. Again, one pump is enough and with this product, you get a little more time to work with it. This moisturiser also absorbs really well and makes my skin feel very nourished. However, I feel that this moisturiser is more hydrating. It also doesn’t absorb into nothing as quickly, but it doesn’t feel oily.
Overall, my skin feels and looks healthier – it is way less oily, looks more luminous and my skin gets way less irritation. It turns out that 100% natural products really do make a difference and I absolutely love this moisturiser combo. If your skin has had problems with regular products, you should make a switch to using more natural products from skincare brands like Blissoma to notice a difference. I would definitely purchase these two products again and I cannot wait to try out other products from the brand.
Blissoma Morning Firming Facial Moisture and Evening Calming Creme retail at RM118 each for a 1 oz bottle. You can purchase Blissoma products via Brown Bag Malaysia!
