Hyclo Skin Sample Review

 

Lately I’ve been reviewing lots of moisturisers and I’ve noticed that many of them contain similar ingredients. There hasn’t been anything ‘new’ on the market for a while, and so I was pleasantly surprised when I received the Hyclo Skin samples.

Founded by Nicole Fletcher, whose career has seen her working across large personal care companies, she also founded Baby Bare Bubbles. Her passion, as I can see from her LinkedIn profile (yes I research those I write about), is evidently in the skincare industry.

As a beauty editor and blogger, I like to write about new start ups and smaller companies, especially as I often find there’s better customer service. Hyclo’s unique selling point is that the products contain 90% pure formulation of Hypochlorous Acid ‘Hypochlorous Acid is naturally produced by the human body to fight off infection and bacteria’. 

Hyclo Skin Replenish Gentle & Nourishing Moisturiser 100ml RRP £18.75

The Replenish Gentle & Nourishing Moisturiser is your simple, daily moisturiser, suitable for all skin types. It’s a lightweight formula and so sinks into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. 

It has an abundance of ingredients many of them organic, to help keep the skin hydrated but also offer protection against environmental aggressors such as pollution. Some of these ingredients are:-

• Caprylic/capric Triglyceride - contains a mixture of essential fatty acids, and so is an excellent skin emollient. 
• Butyrospermum Parkii Butter - aka Shea Butter, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and so helps calm the skin down. Ideal if you suffer with acne rocesea, eczema etc. 
• Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter - creates a barrier so helps retain moisture, and thus keeps skin supple and more hydrated. 
• Persea Gratissima Oil - Avocado Oil, contains high levels of vitamins A, C, D and E. Helps protect the skin against sun damage, pollution as well as softens the skin. 
• Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil - Sunflower Seed Oil, again creates a barrier to help protect the skin against moisture loss and repair the skin. It’s soothing and skin conditioning so ideal again for those who suffer with sensitive, dry, itchy, hormonal skin.

It contains the highest level of purity of Hypochlorous Acid, a natural ingredient, which we produce in our body to fight infection. It’s ideal if you suffer from acne, breakouts and is suitable for all skin types.

The quality of the product is evident by the very few ingredients listed. However, I do like to list the ingredients to help readers understand what is going into the products.

• Sodium Magnesium Flourosilicate - this is simply a binder and bulking agent, that has the ability to absorb water. It is not an active but is there to give substance to the product.
• Phosphoric Acid - helps neutralise the PH of cosmetics.
• Hypochlorous Acid - so the last ingredient, is the key ingredient and as mentioned above, as only a few ingredients (water is at the top), it’s actually is of high quantity and quality. This is the ingredient that helps treat acne, dermatitis and also breaks up bacteria in the skin. It’s ideal if you suffer from breakouts but especially if you have hormonal skin. Its aim is to give better skin health, especially if you’re suffering from teenage breakouts, pregnancy or menopausal changes and if you have been unwell. It helps calm down puffy, swollen and inflamed skin and treats a matter of skin conditions from eczema, dermatitis and acne.
