heme skincare Review

I was contacted a month ago to do a skincare review for HEME products.

I have never heard of this brand prior to testing and have only come to know of it when I was generously sent 6 HEME products to test out. I gave myself a good month long to test out these products Smile

A little background on HEME first:

Heme International Inc. was established in March 2003. They focus on manufacturing skincare products for young Asian men and women around the age of 20 to 35. The name 'Heme' comes from the combination of the words, He & Me, which means the best skin solution for both young females and males.( From http://www.heme.com.sg/ )

* SHE, a very popular Taiwanese girl group is endorsing this brand of skin care which is targeted especially towards a younger market. To be frank, I have always thought that Taiwanese girls have really good skin and I do enjoy made in Taiwan Masks.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:

I like the look, packaging and the masks from the 24hr hydrating rose very much. I think they are actually suited not just for the younger population but also older individuals with oily skin.

The rose scents in the facial creams feel especially soothing for me but some individuals may find it a little too strong for their liking. 

The products aren’t cheap but the price of HEME products, especially the masks and 24 hour hydrating white night jelly, reflects the quality. Recommended for individuals with non sensitive skin type and oily skin.

The ear loops are of high resilience for perfect adherence to face, chin and neck. It also contains Peptides and Collagen, an Ivy extract hat helps to redefined face contours.

How to Use: Use after cleanser. Apply mask over facial contours, positioning openings over eyes and mouth and place the loops over ears. Leave on for 10 minutes before removing mask. Gently massage remaining essence into skin.

This innovative cutting of the eye mask gives one refreshed and radiant looking eyes. It is specially formulated with patented active ingredients to brighten, depuff and hydrate all skin around the eyes. It visibly improves fine lines.
How to Use: Use it after washing your face. Unfold the eye mask and place it over and under the eye area. Leave it on for 10-15mins before removing it. Rinsing off is not necessary.

Impressions: Of all the masks, this is easily my favorite. I used it after suffering from eye irritation after using Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner and I loved the soothing effect it had. I love the butterfly shaped mask as it’s larger surface area meant my entire eye region was soaking up the goodness. DSC_0402

24hr Hydrating Face Moisturizer
This Aqua-based moisturizer delivers Acetyl hexapeptide-8 and Hydrolyzed collagen skin-essential elements to maintain one’s skin’s moisturizing and brightening qualities. It also helps the skin to maintain its optimum moisture balance. It is absorbed immediately by the skin and keeps it hydrated for 24 hours.
How to Use: Apply onto face and gently massage in a circular motion in the morning and in the evening.
Size: 40ml

Impressions: This moisturizer is a little too rich for me. Post pregnancy, my skin is no longer as dry and I have to be careful as it makes my skin feel oilier. Try this only if you have dry and non sensitive skin.
