Local Blemishes Serum Salicylic acid 2% + Zinc 1%
This serum has a fairly basic formula, but the salicylic acid and ZINC PCA duo is highly effective on skin imperfections. On the one hand, these two active ingredients have an anti-inflammatory action, which is particularly interesting since inflammation is the main cause of redness, raised skin and an increase in the size of a blemish. button. The advantage of acting on inflammation when you have an imperfection is that the result is relatively immediate. fast. Zinc acts on sebum production and is combined with PCA to facilitate skin penetration. Salicylic acid is a powerful exfoliant that acts deep down in the pores.

Radiance Serum Vitamin C 11%
This serum is a concentrate of anti-oxidant active ingredients to restore radiance to dull complexions. The serum contains a water-soluble vitamin C derivative, sodium ascorbyl phosphate. This vitamin C derivative is highly stable, easier to formulate than pure vitamin C and less irritating. For people who can't tolerate pure vitamin C, this is a good option. This serum also contains extracts of silk-tree bark with anti-oxidant properties and evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extrac with anti-inflammatory properties.

This serum brightens the face and its texture is very pleasant.
Minus
Vitamin C derivatives need to be transformed into pure vitamin C to be active, so they are less effective than pure vitamin C.
Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Serum 3% + B5 2%
This product contains high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to help moisturize your skin and panthenol, which is both a humectant like hyaluronic acid, i.e. it attracts water, and an emollient to prevent water from evaporating. To reinforce the moisturizing power of this serum, Typology has added 3 sugars, which are also excellent humectants. Of course, you should apply a moisturizer or sun cream as soon as possible after using this serum.

The combination of 3% hyaluronic acid and 2% provitamin B5 "panthenol" is really perfect for a moisturizing serum.
Minus
In use, it absorbs very quickly, which may be disconcerting for a moisturizing serum, perhaps because of the Benzyl Alcohol, but nonetheless it makes it possible to complete a routine quickly when you're in a hurry.
SPF50 sun face cream with aloe vera
This SPF 50 sunscreen is simply excellent, a combination mineral and organic sunscreen. The 4 organic filters include Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, which protects against UVA rays and is water-soluble, making the cream less greasy, UVINUL T150, which protects against UVB rays, uvinul A Plus, which protects against UVA rays, and tinosorb S, which protects against UVA and UB rays. The mineral filter is titanium dioxide, which protects against UVA and UVB rays. Please note that this cream is not water-resistant, but it really is designed for daily use. Moisturizing ingredients include glycerine, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.

Eye Serum Caffeine 5% + Niacinamide 5%
As for the caffeine 5% and niacinamide 2% eye contour serum, I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Caffeine for the eye contour is a classic that improves blood circulation, but as I mentioned in the video on puffiness, according to one study, it's only really effective on 23% people. Niacinamide reduces dark circles and improves blood circulation. To these two main active ingredients, they've added silk tree bark extract for its numerous anti-oxidant effects. My advice is to keep this product cold, as this will greatly enhance its effectiveness for lymphatic drainage. Like the previous product, this is a well-formulated serum at a reasonable price.

Moisturizing Face Cream with 9 ingredients
The 9-ingredient moisturizing face cream is very well formulated from my point of view, with humectants like glycerin, pentylene glycol from sugar cane and hyaluronic acid and coconut oil to nourish the skin. Coconut oil is second in the formula, a rather thick oil with excellent nourishing properties superior to mineral oils. An ideal cream for normal to combination skin.

As is often the case with Typology, we're working with a simple but well-crafted formulation. I particularly recommend this cream if you have sensitive skin.
Minus
If you have very dry skin, it will lack nourishing ingredients, and if you have very oily skin, it will be too rich.
Purifying face cream
Zinc PCA 4% + bamboo extract
The Purifying Face Cream with 4% Zinc PCA and Bamboo Extract contains several nice emollients, lots of zinc, bamboo extracts and silica for mattifying, but it's sorely lacking in humectants, we've got glycerine and that's about it. And I'd like to point out that this cream contains an essential oil. An ideal cream if you have oily skin, but don't forget to use a moisturizing lotion and serum beforehand.

Retinol Wrinkles & Fine Lines Serum 0.3%
Wrinkles and fine lines serum with 0.3% retinol is an oily serum containing just 5 ingredients. With castor oil and soybean oil, the oils are quite fine and not very comedogenic, so I apply it before my moisturizer in the evening. I think the product itself is fine, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't come in a different concentration, as I think it's intended for mature skin and that people with mature skin will soon want to switch to higher concentrations of retinol.

A very good oil serum to start with retinol
Minus
I find the product itself to be very well but I'm disappointed that there isn't a different concentration because I think this product is intended for mature skin and that people with mature skin will soon want to switch to higher concentrations of retinol.
Exfoliating cleansing gel
PHA 5% + aloe vera
The cleansing gel with 5% PHA and aloe vera is a good cleansing and exfoliating gel that I find well formulated. The first ingredient is water, followed by cocoglucoside, a very gentle non-ionic surfactant, which is also found in Bioderma's cleansing gel. Then there's gluconolactone, a PHA (polyhydroxy acid), a mild exfoliating acid that's also a moisturizer. Then we have coco betaine, an active tension derived from coconut, which has foaming properties, glycerine to moisturize, xanthum gum to improve texture, sodium hydroxide to make the cleanser less acidic, aloe vera, a sweet orange essential oil, inulin to care for the microbiome, Sodium Chloride as a thickener, Benzyl Alcohol as a preservative, Citric Acid and Sodium Citrate to acidify the PH, Dehydroacetic Acid as a preservative, various sugars for hydration and limonene.

For me, this is a good cleanser, well designed, i.e. it remains relatively gentle but is packed with ingredients to gently exfoliate and moisturize the skin. On the other hand, it contains an essential oil and limonene which may cause allergies.
Minus
Limonene, which contributes to the cleanser's fruity scent, is also one of the 26 allergens regulated in Europe, but let's be honest, just because it's classified as an allergen doesn't mean you're going to develop an allergy to it - you just need to be aware of it.
