Byoma: quality skincare at affordable prices
In recent years, the beauty industry has been transformed by the rise of clean beauty. Several brands have emerged with a focus on skin-friendly care: reducing the number of ingredients, transparency on composition, and the use of natural ingredients. Byoma fits perfectly into this trend.
The active ingredients
Byoma focuses on gentle hydration and repairing the skin barrier. The active ingredients used, such as squalane, ceramides, and fatty acids, are clinically recognized for their benefits. The products are tested and approved by dermatologists, according to Byoma.
Brand commitments
Byoma stands out for its ethical commitments. The products are cruelty-free and vegan certified. The packaging is colorful and made from recyclable materials, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to sustainable beauty.
General opinion
Byoma’s ambition appeals to cosmetics enthusiasts. The products promise superior quality and affordable prices, with some rated 100/100 on Yuka. Expectations are high for these products that combine efficacy, ethics, and accessibility.
My opinion on the tested products
To evaluate the performance of Byoma products, I chose a skincare routine including a gel cleanser, a serum, and a moisturizer. This selection allowed me to test the products’ efficacy on my skin, which is normal/balanced with a tendency towards oily. Here is my detailed feedback.
Skincare routine
The skincare routine I followed consisted of the following three products:
- Gel cleanser: Used to gently cleanse the skin.
- Hydrating serum: Applied for intense hydration.
- Moisturizing cream: To maintain hydration throughout the day.
Skin type
My skin is generally well hydrated and does not tend to develop acne. I follow a daily routine of cleanser, serum, and cream, which allows me to assess the impact of new products on my skin.
Product Availability
If you are interested in the Byoma brand, it is available in France, notably at Sephora. The three products I tested are available for purchase online, either individually or in a discovery set for 19.90€. You can check the products here.
This basic routine allowed me to verify if my skin remains well hydrated and reacts correctly to new treatments.
My opinion on the hydrating serum
The hydrating serum from Byoma is distinguished by its composition and its effects on the skin. I tested this product carefully, here is my feedback.
Key ingredients of the hydrating serum
Byoma highlights three main ingredients in this serum: the tri-ceramides complex, squalane, and glycerin. The tri-ceramides complex, specific to the brand, is composed of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids. These components are known to strengthen the skin barrier and protect the skin from external aggressions.
Use and texture
I used the serum in two ways: either before applying the Byoma moisturizer or by mixing it directly with this cream. In both cases, the texture was pleasant, rather liquid and non-sticky. The serum did not leave a greasy film on my skin. After application, my skin was immediately softer. However, I did not notice a significant difference in terms of firmness or bounce, probably because I already use similar treatments.
Customer reviews
The customer reviews I consulted are generally positive. Many mention an improved complexion and a significant reduction in acne for acne-prone skin. These feedbacks confirm the serum’s effectiveness on different skin types.
Evaluation by Yuka and Que Choisir
This serum scored 100/100 on Yuka, which attests to its excellent composition without potentially harmful ingredients. Although Que Choisir has not yet evaluated this specific product, an equivalent serum, the “Recovery Oil,” was rated A.
My verdict
I highly recommend Byoma’s hydrating serum for its clean composition, pleasant texture, and moisturizing effect. It is particularly suitable for dehydrated or redness-prone skin.
My opinion on the hydrating gel cream
I had the opportunity to test Byoma’s hydrating gel cream, and here is my detailed feedback.
Main ingredients of the hydrating gel cream
Byoma’s hydrating gel cream stands out for its unique composition. It contains a complex of tri-ceramides, niacinamide, and green tea. These ingredients are particularly effective:
- Tri-ceramides: Strengthen the skin barrier.
- Niacinamide: Has anti-inflammatory properties, ideal for acne-prone skin.
- Green tea: Powerful antioxidant that protects the skin.
Use and texture
I applied the gel cream after the serum, on clean skin. The gel cream texture is pleasant and light. My skin quickly absorbs the product without leaving a greasy film. The gel cream is odorless, which is a plus for those who prefer fragrance-free products. It is also non-comedogenic, alcohol-free, and vegan.
Benefits and value for money
For less than 20€, this gel cream offers effective hydration and impeccable composition. Its texture leaves a refreshing sensation after application. Few creams on the market can boast such a composition at this price.
Customer reviews and evaluation
The hydrating gel cream is highly appreciated, with a rating of 4.5/5 according to customer reviews. It scored 100/100 on Yuka and an A grade on Que Choisir. These evaluations attest to its quality and effectiveness.
My verdict
I highly recommend this hydrating gel cream from Byoma. It is ideal for those seeking risk-free hydration and want to reduce acne thanks to its sebum-regulating effect.
My opinion on the gel cream cleanser
Byoma’s gel cream cleanser has an interesting composition but deserves a more in-depth analysis.
Key ingredients of the gel cream cleanser
This cleanser includes ingredients such as the tri-ceramides complex, licorice root, and green tea. These components are known for their cleansing and moisturizing properties.
Composition and ingredient scores
The cleanser received varied scores on different platforms:
Platform | Score |
---|---|
Que Choisir | A (adult) and D (baby) |
Yuka | 39/100 |
The presence of phenoxyethanol is noteworthy, a common but controversial preservative, which significantly lowers the score on Yuka. This ingredient, although effective against bacteria, raises debates about its safety.
Use and texture
During application, the cleanser transforms into a subtle and slightly creamy foam. It effectively cleanses the skin while keeping it moisturized. After rinsing, the skin is clean, not dried out, and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine, such as applying serum and moisturizer.
My experience
I found this cleanser very effective at removing makeup, including waterproof mascara. The light foam suits me perfectly, although some customers prefer thicker foams.
However, the presence of phenoxyethanol can be a drawback, especially for those with sensitive skin. It is recommended to test the product before regular use to avoid any adverse reactions.
Verdict
Despite the presence of phenoxyethanol, this gel cream cleanser remains an interesting option for those looking for a cleansing and moisturizing product. Its efficacy and pleasant texture make it a good choice for a complete skincare routine.
