Sponsored: Physiogel products with GIVEAWAY [Updated]

My skin became a lot more sensitive since I started my house renovation, and the recent haze hasn't been helpful at all. Therefore I gladly accepted when the Physiogel team approached for me to review their products. :D

The team provided me with their cream, lotion and cleanser to review, and I have been using them for about a month. I am very pleased with them.

AT FIRST GLANCE

If you place the Physiogel products next to those prettily-packaged Korean or Japanese skincare/cosmetic products, you may miss their existence completely. And as much as I know the value of a product should be based on how it works, I'm a sucker for packaging. This means that if I was not approached, I would not have given it a chance.

That being said, it is understood why they have chosen to give the product packaging a modest look, since Physiogel is a brand providing dermatologist-prescribed products over-the-counter.

You would probably stare skeptically at your dermatologist if he had prescribed a product that look anything like what you see in Etude House. (hur hur hur...)

PHYSIOGEL LOTION (Usual selling price: 200ml - $33.90)

***

Physiogel Lotion is a hypoallergenic moisturising lotion that provides physiological lipids in the Derma Membrane Structure (DMS)―a structure similar to the skin, hence, revitalising dry skin.

Physiological lipids are natural and essential components of normal healthy skin.

• With physiological lipids to protect and restore healthy skin
• Non-comedogenic.
• Contains no colourants, perfume and preservatives.
• Hypoallergenic.
• For the daily care of dry and sensitive skin conditions.

As compared to my face care routines, I must say I am pretty lazy with those bodycare products. I purchased different brands of body butter (e.g. Bodyshop) and lotions (e.g. L'occitane) but gave up using them after awhile. I do not know if you face the same problem as I, but whenever I apply the body lotion after showering, I would perspire profusely once I step out of the bathroom. Could it be caused by slow absorption? I'm not sure. 

However, whenever I apply the Physiogel lotion over my body, it feels very light, making it easy to apply. I feel that it gets absorbed into the skin quickly too. I don't get the greasy feeling after application and I hardly perspire the way I would with those other lotions. 

One of it's selling point is it being hypoallergic, which means it's suitable for the entire family, from the young to old. Elric has sensitive skin. I guess he inherited it from Alphonse and gets skin irritations easily. I took the courage to apply the lotion on Elric for the passed two weeks and it has been pretty encouraging. He hasn't had problem with his eczema since I starting using the lotion on him.

Best of all, it is pretty affordable if you want to get a bottle just to try if it works for you.

PHYSIOGEL CREAM (Usual selling price: 75ml - $22.85 / 150ml - $42.10) 

***

Physiogel Cream is a hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, high lipid moisturising cream. It uses
Derma Membrane Structure (DMS) to help repair the skin and lock in moisture for up to 3 days for longer lasting hydration.

***

The Physiogel Cream, compared to the lotion, is thicker and is useful for drier parts of the skin such as your elbow and knees. If you tend to have drier skin, you may prefer this option. I personally prefers the Physiogel lotion. :D

However, I was told that this cream is a good option for pregnant ladies who wants to keep the skin at their baby bum moisturised.
Hmmm... Nope. It probably does not prevent stretchmarks, but will most likely stop the itch.

PHYSIOGEL CLEANSER (Usual selling price: 900ml - $29.90)

***

Physiogel Cleanser is a hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic soap-free cleanser that cleanses, soothes and softens without drying the skin. Its non-greasy formula does not contain animal fats, providing a gentle cleansing and maintenance of the skin's natural pH balance.

 ***

The Physiogel cleanser is what I'm be giving away in this post.
I was a little paranoid with washing my face with a soap-free cleanser. How would I know if my face is clean? I managed to convince myself to give it a try since they gave me the product . I guess it's really about getting used to it.

I first thought it didn't clean my face well enough, but as I gave it a few more tries, I noticed my skin feels more supple. Using a soap-free cleanser has also made me mindful that I must massage my skin thoroughly while cleansing.

I will continue using this product, but I will use it only as my morning cleanser because I am still unwilling to part with other of my cleansers which provide functions such as anti-aging, whitening and collagen. I am sorry. I just can't give them up!

By the way, it is so gentle you can use it to clean your baby. I'm going to try this on Elric too! (heh heh heh...)
I believe it is also a good product for pregnant and lactating mummies since your skin tends to be more sensitive when hormones go crazy.

Ah yes... I must not forget. You can use it with or without rinsing! You can choose to wipe the cleanser away with cotton pad!
