SKINCARE | Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Travel Kit for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Press samples

Maybe it's a combination of the weather and getting ever closer to 40, but I have really been noticing how dry my skin has been since the start of the Fall season whether it's the inside of my nose, my hands or my face. Usually a sheet mask helps significantly, but as of late even my tried and true "sheet mask moisture providers" have needed a little bit of a boost. Thankfully, I have discovered some gloriously moisturizing products this season with Korean skincare brand Physiogel with my initial introduction to the brand being their sheet mask which I loved! 

 

As Avon carries Physiogel, the team sent over the travel kit to try out and it was truly perfect timing having just discovered the sheet masks at The Face Shop shortly before. The travel kit comes with three products: the Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream, Lotion and Dermo-Cleanser with all three containing Physiogel's BioMimic technology. This technology consists of lipids similar to those found in the skin barrier.

Daily Moisture Therapy Dermo-Cleanser*

As this entire collection is intended for even the most sensitive of skin types, this slightly gel cleanser is very gentle, doesn't strip the skin and has zero fragrance. Unfortunately this cleanser, while comfortable to use on the eyes, does not remove eye makeup completely even when I was just wearing ONLY non-waterproof mascara. It dissolved quite quickly with water, so rinsing was very easy and did leave my skin feeling clean, but only if I wasn't wearing much makeup or if this was my second cleanse. 

Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream and Lotion*

You can maybe see from the swatches above that one moisturizer has a thicker consistency than the other! The lotion has a slight gel-like consistency and while it absorbs quickly and feels fairly lightweight, it actually is quite hydrating! If I have used a particularly intense sheet mask, this lotion is more than enough! The cream takes a bit more massaging to absorb into the skin, but if your skin has dry patches or is extremely parched, this moisturizer is the one to use with my skin stayed hydrated well into the next day!

Final verdict: I enjoy having fun with skincare so while these Physiogel products aren't the most exciting (no scent or fun texture), they are efficient at what they do and get the job done. They are the products that won't upset anyone's skin or are your go-tos for when your skin is upset due to its repairative properties. While I don't use the cleanser all that much, as I wear makeup most days, the moisturizers have been on serious repeat for me these last 6 weeks!
