Maria and I received some samples from Miessence. Maria and I were actually together for this review! As you may know, Maria and I live 10 hours apart, so us being together for this was a real treat.
As you can see, we received the soothing cleanser, soothing skin conditioner and the soothing moisturizer. These are for sensitive skin and the ingredients look great. Aloe Vera leaf juice is the first ingredient, which I thought was pretty awesome. These Products are available as a Soothing Skin Essentials Kit or individually.
We went to Maria’s bathroom to each give the products a try
Soothing Skin Cleanser
Miessence Soothing Cleanser is very gentle, yet very effective with relaxing organic bergamot and chamomile to immediately calm and soothe sensitive, taut skin.
What Maria thought about the cleanser
“The cleanser smelled very very nice, a lovely bergomot scent. It doesn’t foam much but I still felt like it was cleaning my skin. I really liked the look of my skin after. It looked less red and soothed.”
What Andrea thought about the cleanser
“I really liked the smell, the scent was calming. It felt good on my skin, smooth and soothing. It cleaned it well, my face felt fresh afterwards. It wasn’t too thick or runny and it was easy to wash off.”
Soothing Skin Conditioner
What is a skin conditioner?
We are thinking it must be like a serum, something to nourish your skin before applying a moisturizer. After reading about the product we found out we were right!
A gentle infusion with organic st john’s wort and horsechestnut and essential oils like carrot and chamomile that are known to help calm and soothe skin chapped by the elements. Helps skin feel soothed and softened.
The Miessence skin conditioner and moisturizer work hand in hand with the cleanser. The conditioner is a vital step in the Miessence skincare regime and has a twofold purpose:
a) To feed the skin with nutrients
b) To provide a hydration base for the moisturizer to lock in.
To experience maximum benefits apply the Conditioner then apply the Moisturizer while the skin is still damp, before the Conditioner dries. This seals in the hydration the Conditioner provides for your skin to keep your skin soft and plump.
What Maria thought about the Skin Conditioner
“At first I thought it was going to be greasy, but it quickly absorbed. It made my skin feel soft-and non greasy. I could really smell the chamomile, I am not a huge fan of the scent”
What Andrea thought about the Skin Conditioner
“It was really thin but absorbed quickly. It felt nice and light on my face, and made my skin soft. The smell was nice, you could tell they used a lot of essential oils in it. I love the smell of chamomile so I enjoyed using this product.”
Soothing Moisturizer
This moisturizer contains jojoba, rosehip seed, sunflower and olive juice extract as well as shea butter.
A soothing moisturiser with organic herb and flower extracts, nut and seed oils and butters, and plant phospholipids that restore and repair the appearance of sensitive, damaged skin while demonstrating significant and lasting effects on skin hydration and smoothness.
Contains two soothing chamomiles (German and Roman), protective calendula, carrot and organic horsechestnut.
Andrea’s thoughts on the moisturizer
“It is very thick and creamy. I ended up using way too much. A little would go a long way. It had a nice feel to it, and it smelled heavily of chamomile. I could still smell the chamomile on my face some time later. This moisturizer was quite heavy, and felt greasy to me.
I am used to using light moisturizers as I have oily skin so this was really different for me. After some time I was very impressed at how hydrated and soft my skin felt. I loved how the scent lingered. This would be a great moisturizer for someone with dryer skin, or even for someone like me to use maybe once or twice a week.”
Maria’s thoughts on the moisturizer
“I could really smell the olive oil in it. This moisturizer is jam packed with fatty acids to nourish the skin. It was a bit heavy and made me feel greasy. I wasn’t a big fan of the scent. Although, after having it on my face for awhile, it absorbed and my face felt very soft and nourished.”
Final Thoughts from Andrea
I loved the smell of these products and I think they would be excellent products to use on a regular basis. They feel so nourishing. You don’t have to have sensitive skin either, I think any skin type would benefit from such a gentle treatment.
I love the idea of a skin conditioner, it was so light but really felt nourishing. The moisturizer was heavy and I wouldn’t use it every day, but it made my skin feel soft and supple. The ingredients looked awesome; natural and potent. Thumbs Up Miessence!
Final Thoughts from Maria
I really enjoyed the cleanser. I did feel it was a great wash, and a deep cleanse, So a major plus there.
The Skin conditioner is very nice. It has a silky feel and was superb on the skin. I now realize that using a skin conditioner is a great in-between step. It really has a good effect on the skin.
I agree with Andrea about the moisturizer. It was a heavier cream, with a lot of bite and a strong, lingering scent. I do think the benefits of this type of moisturizer would be great for really dry skin. Adding it to your skin care routine every so often to boost the absorption of those fatty acids would be beneficial.
I would like to give this system another try in the winter when my skin is starving for moisture.
Yours In Beauty,
Andrea
