As I said in my Instagram, usually, if I like several products from a brand, I will continue trying more products from the brand, whether they are new or not. Recently, I had the opportunity to try two more products from Byphasse's sensitive skin line: the face scrub & the face mask. In general, I'm happy with both products, but what surprised me most was some of their key ingredients: Pumice stone? Titanium dioxide?
Both products have some ingredients in common, such as thermal water, rich in minerals and trace elements, as well as rosehip oil. According to Byrdie, rosehip oil is known for regenerating and soothing the skin, fight free radicals, increasing collagen levels in the skin, calming inflammation, combating acne, and reducing hyperpigmentation, among other benefits. On the other hand, the BCN Institute confirms that trace elements reduce the signs of skin malnutrition, balance the skin, and have healing properties. Finally, according to the University of Oregon (Linus Pauling Institute), minerals play a vital role in protecting the skin from sun damage, stabilizing cell membranes, and protecting against free radicals, among other skin benefits.

What surprised me most was one of its main ingredients: pumice, whose formulation is reminiscent of the Holika Holika's Soda Pore Cleansing Deep Cleansing Foam, which contains sodium bicarbonate as one of its key ingredients. On the other hand, the Byphasse's facial scrub, also have ingredients like glycolic acid, lactic acid, Laminaria Orchroleuca extract, and Bisabolol.
One of the things I liked the most was its fine and effective exfoliating grain, because I can feel how it deeply cleanses my skin without irritating it. When I rinsed the products off, it feels like a fusion between two skincare products, an emollient cleansing milk, combined with a gentle physical exfoliant. This type of combination is not common in low-cost skincare products that are under 4 euros, making this product stand out among others low-cost face scrubs.

One of the best low-cost face masks for sensitive skin I've tried, after the green clay face mask from Le Petite Oliver. It soothes and conditions irritated skin, and when rinsed off, it leaves a skin-enhancing effect that protects the skin and prepares it for the next steps in the daily skincare routine. It has some ingredients in common with the face scrub from the same line, however, it stands out for two key ingredients: Titanium Dioxide and seawater.
Titanium Dioxide, according to Paula's Choice, protects the skin from sun damage, is the perfect key ingredient for sensitives, redness-prone, and acne skin types. In short, among its skin care properties are:
- UV protection.
- Gentle on skin.
- Non-comedogenic.
- Antimicrobial.
Besides, Seawater as skincare ingredient according to Foreo: detoxify the skin, removes impurities, unclogs pores, improves acne breakouts, soothes the skin, calms irritations, and have healing properties.
