Typology: Vegan, Cruelty Free, Ethical Sourcing, Made in France

*products sent to me for review. I was really excited to try Typology, the French brand which has just landed in the UK. Products are Vegan, Cruelty Free and Ethical Sourced. Packaging is simple but stylish and recyclable/reusable. Founder, Ning Li wanted to offer a premium natural skincare line which uses quality ingredients, offers a skincare regime - think AM and PM products suited to your skin type (I've been trying out my personal regimes which take guesswork out of which products you should be using). I have to say, I'm really impressed.


You can shop by Back in Stock, Bestsellers, By Category, By Concern & Routines & Kits. You'll find it really is a treasure trove (and you'll want it all - but never fear prices are very affordable!) Fuller reviews will follow but I highly recommend everything I've tried.

These are the products I was kindly sent for review:


My diagnosis is VE(*) does "not have any particular problems but, like all skins, face ageing. Your phototype and/or lifestyle promote the oxidation of skin cells, leading them to start deteriorating. In fact, oxidation and the formation of free radicals often result in damage to collagen, elastin or DNA. Brown spots can be revealed, the cells renew themselves less quickly, the structure of the dermis is changed and the skin starts to sag". These types of skin "are lucky because they only have one challenge: slowing down skin ageing".


AM: Hydrating Cleansing Bar (100g - £11.80) which comes in a recyclable box. Use the cleansing bar in the shower, lathering the soap in your hands before rubbing onto the face and neck before rinsing. It will gently cleanse the skin leaving it feeling clean and hydrated and never tight.

Orange Blossom Hydrolate (100ml - £8.80) has a beautiful orange blossom scent. It's lovely to use, very uplifting and balancing. Apply with a cotton pad. 

Vitamin C 11% Serum (15ml - £11.80) which fights against oxidation of skin cells which contributes to ageing and lack of radiance. Apply 3-4 drops onto the skin using circular motions. This is presented in a pipette bottle and has a neutral scent.

The final item in my AM routine is Face Cream with 9 Ingredients (50ml - £17.80) which is fragrance free and formulated with 9 ingredients. It has a light texture which absorbs instantly and which leaves the skin feeling hydrated as well as comfortable. 


PM: Cleansing Oil with 7 Ingredients (100ml - £14.80) which is a fragrance free silky oil which makes short work of make up and daily grime. It thoroughly but gently cleanses and leaves the skin clean and nourished. Apply to the skin before removing with a warmed damp cloth. 

Exfoliating Toner 8% Glycolic Acid (215ml - £17.80) which removes dead skin cells, exfoliates, tightens pores and reduces blackheads. Apply on a cotton pad sweeping over the skin, avoiding the eye area. 

The night time serum duo are: Hydrating Serum 3% Hyaluronic Acid+2% B5 (15ml - £11.80) which is the first step. This unfragranced serum rehydrates. Apply 3-4 drops in circular motions before following with Retinol 0.3% Serum (15ml - £14.80) which has an sort of medicinal scent. It'll lift and tighten the skin, plumping out wrinkles and fine lines. Apply 3-4 drops in circular motions. 

I've actually loved having the guesswork taken out of my skincare regime. I love the idea of a routine to use every day and have enjoyed using all the products selected for me. Check out the routines HERE.


I was also very kindly sent the two Perfume Discovery Sets (£8.80 each which include 3 mini sample vials in each (2ml). A fuller review will follow for these (simply stunning) but the ones which have grabbed me immediately are - Jasmin Neroli, Pamplemousse Petitgrain and Yuzu Mandarine). It's a clever way to try before you buy full size. I'm loving the look of the Layering Kit.



I was also sent their 9 Ingredient Lip Balm (15ml - £9.80) which nourishes and cares for the lips leaving them with a glossy finish.  Also if you spend £80 you'll receive a free branded pouch and shipping is free over £50.


I've been so impressed with everything I've tried. Check out the shop HERE. What do you think you'll buy first?
