BYOMA first launched in 2022, and ever since it has gone from strength to strength. There are numerous products I have tried, tested and adored. But the new six-piece Blemish range from Byoma has blown my socks off.
In recent years I have been plagued with hormonal breakouts, more so than I did when I was a teenager – who would have thought it?
I have tried so many products and home remedies, even supplements to help beat the breakouts bubbling under the skin when Auntie Flo comes knocking, but nothing quite gets rid of them for good. Even if the redness and whitehead disappears, it often leaves a raised lump, or redness I can't shift, only for it to reappear a few weeks later with vengeance.
I have my best friend's wedding approaching, and I'm a bridesmaid, so I have been more conscious of my skin than ever. Unsurprisingly, my skin has decided to have a flare up, and I have erupted in more boils and red bumps on my face than I care to admit. Thankfully, BYOMA sent me its new Blemish range ahead of its official release in Boots stores, and it's making quite the impact on my skin already.
The six-part range includes face and body products, but I have mainly been testing the face products of late in the hope I'll get a clear complexion once again. Spoiler: In three days I've noticed a huge difference already.
It's commonplace for blemish busting products to be quite drying on the skin, or burn as it hits the spot. But not BYOMA. This collection has been formulated to treat the breakouts, clear those blemishes, but without compromising the skin barrier, or stripping my skin of its moisture. Not only is this rare, but it's essential considering this is designed for all ages and sensitivities.
Instead, BYOMA has patented its Clearamide Complex with salicylic acid to treat those blemishes, but strengthen the skin's barrier, which can be the cause for some breakouts.
I cleanse morning and night, sometimes even twice in the evening, but this doesn't stop a breakout. Lately, I have been leaning on BYOMA's Clearing Cleanser to remove the dirt and grime lingering on my skin, and to unclog congested pores in the morning and evening.
Unlike other toners I have tried over the years, BYOMA's Redness Relief Soothing Toner is super gentle on the skin. Interestingly, it is a spray rather than a liquid formula that needs to be applied sparingly to a cotton pad and swept across the face. This toner is ultra gentle, in fact I'd say it's more like a face mist.
For the more aggressive breakouts on my skin, I have applied the Blemish Clearing Paste directly to those areas to minimise the redness, and treat that specific spot by pulling out its impurities. It applies like a clay mask, and leaves behind a chalky texture that is slightly coloured, so I would recommend applying at night. Though wait until it has dried to put your head on the pillow. Just like the toner, this product doesn't sting or cause my breakout to react like other spot treatments, which can leave my skin more inflamed. More Trending
The moisturiser is also a dream to apply. If I didn't know any better I would assume it was like any other lightweight, oil-free moisturiser to hydrate my skin. However, it is packed with skin-loving and acne-busting ingredients that help to nourish the skin, repair the skin barrier, and minimise any pigmentation.
Every item in the collection is super affordable, as it ranges from £9.99 to £14.99.
The best part is this collection is suitable for all ages, so whether you are a teen having a breakout or an adult, this range offers gentle yet effective solutions.
Formulated with 25 salicyclic acid, bakuchiol, green tea extract and allantoin, which combine to provide a potent treatment to reduce excess sebum on the skin that can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts, as well as combat post-blemish marks. Green tea extract is the key ingredient to calm stressed and inflamed skin. It is a milky texture that blends into the skin and is not drying. BUY NOW FOR £12.99
This toner comes in a fine mist spray form, which is unlike other toners and more like a face mist – just more has been formulated using panthenol, heartleaf extract, BYOMA's signature Clearamide Complex and chamomile extract. Not only does it treat breakouts, but it also hydrates and soothes the skin. It has also been claimed to improve the skin barrier by 60% within one hour. BUY NOW FOR £12.99
I love a spot treatment, especially when I want to double down on a particular area and target a specific aggressive breakout, which this paste is great for. It contains salicylic acid, Kaolin Clay, as well as Camphor and Kojic Kaolin Clay works to extract the impurities to treat the spot's source, while salicylic acid also helps to unclog pores. It has been clinically proven to decrease redness in 30 minutes, and the size of spots in 24 hours, which I can attest to. An aggressive spot on my cheek was visibly reduced in size and soreness when I left this on overnight. BUY NOW FOR £9.99
My skin always needs a moisturiser to keep it hydrated, but one that is safe to wear in the daytime and nighttime without stinging or irritating my skin is a new level of innovation in my eyes. This formula is enriched with 1.5% salicylic acid, bakuchiol and Clearamide Complex. It is oil-free, lightweight in texture, easy to blend, and suitable for those with sensitive skin. BUY NOW FOR £13.99
For those who suffer with 'bacne', uneven skin tone or texture on your back, this body wash is a simple step in your beauty routine to treat it. The formula contains a prebiotic complex to soothe the skin barrier, as well as salicylic acid to reduce any active spots or post-blemish marks. BUY NOW FOR £13.99
Some are put off of wearing body lotion in fear it may clog their pores further, but that's the opposite effect of this body lotion. BYOMA has called on lipid-rich oils, including safflower, jojoba, and soybean to hydrate the skin, while salicylic acid targets the clogged pores. It is lightweight and non-greasy on the skin, but also fast absorbing so you can apply your clothes afterwards without feeling greasy. BUY NOW FOR £14.99
