I love skincare products and with skin that’s nearly 50, I’ve used a lot of products in my time.
I’m always looking for natural products and ones that are never tested on animals nor contain any animal products. Being a vegetarian, this is very important to me.
I recently had the pleasure of trying a product from a skincare line called Hemloq.
I’ve never heard of them before so I checked out their website. I was pleased to find it’s visually appealing, extremely helpful and informative on their products and the use of them, and very pleased to find they offer personalized assistance by telephone so you will be able to shop for just the right products for your skin.
Aimed with the knowledge I gained from their site, I was excited to try out the Citrus Scrub that I received.
Described as a “extra-creamy formula”, it promised a “gentler feeling exfoliation”. Blended with jojoba beans, green tea extracts, and chamomile, it fit my first criteria of being animal-free.
Next, on my list of necessities is scent.
I was pleasantly surprised by the light but definitely citrus smell. Definitely higher-end essential oils were used to scent this as so many citrus facial products end up smelling like cheap dish soap. This was wonderful and refreshing. The scent was an enjoyable part of using the scrub.
Did it Work?
Well, it did provide a light overall scrub, but unfortunately I have oily skin, and it left my face too moisturized. It’s meant for drier skin types and it seems like a perfect match in that case. Even though it wasn’t meant for my skin type, my skin overall felt smoother, and I found it did leave my drier areas very supple.
What’s in it and why?
Jojoba Bean - semi-solid which melts while you scrub
Green Tea Extracts - an anti-oxidant and help reduce irritation
Chamomile - Provide healing, soothing, moisturizing, and toning for dry skin
What’s NOT in it?
Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Cruelty Free and never any harsh chemicals, artificial colors, or artificial fragrances.
Do I recommend it?
For dry skin absolutely! It’s natural, cruelty-free, and has a list of ingredients that’s not only pronounceable but not full of preservatives and other harsh chemicals.
Enjoy!
