We tested the rebalancing routine from Oh My Cream Skincare

The promise.

By launching Oh My Cream Skincare, the brand wishes to introduce 3 essential gestures:double cleansing, gentle exfoliation and care oil. Double cleaning, kezaco? This is a two-step routine inspired by layering, which starts with the use of an oily phase in order to attract pollution and sebum (in short, we rid the skin of the dirt of the day), before to use a cleansing gel or milk to capture impurities that may have penetrated deeper into the epidermis. If after that, the skin is not clean…! The gentle exfoliation is done with an enzymatic formula (=without grains), used 2 to 3 times a week and the treatment oil completes the routine, leaving the skin purified or smoothed (as needed). Clearly, whether you have dry skin (restorative routine) or combination to oily skin (rebalancing routine), the skin is deeply cleansed and provided with everything it needs. All with Oh My Cream! requirements, namely “clean” formulas (free of mineral oils, sulfates, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, etc.). It promises!

We tested.

The first step of the routine begins with the oily phase of the Cleansing Balm. With an ultra-melting texture, it transforms into an oil that is neither too fine nor too thick, inviting you to massage your face for a long time. A large hazelnut is enough. The balm does not sting the eyes and melts away all traces of makeup in no time. The smell of coconut biscuit is to die for… We want to eat it! After emulsifying with a little lukewarm water, it rinses off very easily. The skin is soft and does not feel tight. Continue the routine with the foaming aqueous phase of the Cleansing Jelly. Once again, a large dab of product is enough. The honey-colored jelly foams quickly in the palm of your hands and gives off a very chic and sweet smell of bergamot and ginger (reminiscent of Earl Gray tea!) while remaining very discreet. We feel that the cleaning is thorough without stripping the skin. More softness… We move on to the third step, gentle exfoliation with the Exfoliating Powder. The brand recommends using it 2 to 3 times a week, but we wanted to use it every night, as its fine pink powder is so soft... Just pour a small amount into the palm of your wet hands , to rub them against each other (the powder melts instantly), then to pass the generous foam on the face, avoiding the eye area. The routine ends (already…) with the application of Corrective Oil. Its lemony fragrance and its lightness made us adopt it immediately! Little tip:apply 3 to 5 drops of oil to the still damp face to facilitate penetration.

Verdict.

The routine took us a total of 5 minutes, which in itself is not much… especially when you see the result! From the first use, upon awakening, the skin is supple, soft, soothed. The pores are tightened, the irritations disappeared, and the imperfections are already giving way. Make-up stays on better, and skin is much brighter. Hello perfect skin!
