Recently a friend gave me a few samples of products from Bioelements she thought would be suitable for my oily, blemish prone skin. I’ve had very little experience with Bioelements but I know that is a well respected brand among dermatology professionals.

While I am a product junkie, I am also fussy about my products like everyone else. My skin is still very oily even though my teen years have long passed. I’m seeing initial signs of aging and would like to ward that off while keeping my skin clear.

The first product I tried was Biolements Decongestant Cleanser. I cannot say enough good things. Cleansers for oily skin have to create a balance between deeply cleansing pores to remove excess oil while also avoiding over-stripping that may trigger even more oil production. This one is fragrance free but still has a pleasant smell, lathers lightly without over using detergents and leaves the skin squeaky clean but also balanced. It’s a gel cleanser that is free of colorant and fragrance. The only thing left behind is clean skin!

The second product is Bioelements Beyond Hydration which can be found in the Bioelements Great Skin In a Box – Oily Skin. Moisturizers are also a tricky thing for oily skin. Many oily skin types avoid them because they don’t want a heavy feel on their skin. This one is a super light gel that absorbs quickly and does not feel the slightest bit sticky. Once absorbed, I’m not aware of it at all and my makeup goes on nicely.

Lastly I tried the Bioelements Quick Refiner which is perfect for skin like mine that is very oily but still in need of some anti-aging benefits. I find that skin like mine benefits from a combination of age-defying alpha hydroxy acids and pore-clearing beta hydroxy acids. The Quick Refiner is a fast-absorbing gel that smoothes my skin while also fighting blemishes. I love it!

Biolements products are all manufactured in the United States. The company uses recycled packaging and does not test on animals. Do I need yet another reason to love this brand?
