{Oh my BYOMA!}

I didnโt really think much about my skinโs biome until this past year where my skin barrier was compromised by challenging breakouts on multiple occasions, leaving me with dry, red, painful peeling areas of skin. I switched out my chemical-filled routine for BYOMAโs nourishing, anti-inflammatory, hydrating skin care regime and saw amazing results.
For the past few months, Iโve been using three BYOMA products in my skincare routine:
- Creamy Jelly Cleanser
- Balancing Face Mist
- Clarifying Serum
The Cleanser

BYOMAโs Creamy Jelly Cleanser ($17.50) is a fantastic second product for my dual-cleansing routine. It goes on as a soft jelly and lathers up into a rich foam that helps to remove sunscreen and stubborn makeup. Ingredients like green tea and licorice root provide antimicrobial benefits while soothing the skin and leaving it fresh and hydrated. One to two pumps are enough to clean my face and neck, leaving no residue or buildup. I especially loved that the Creamy Jelly Cleanser did a thorough job removing makeup, sweat, and dirt but didnโt sting my eyes or any active breakouts I was having. If youโre experiencing breakouts or looking for a cleanser that doesnโt strip your skin, BYOMAโs Creamy Jelly Cleanser is definitely worth checking out.
The Mist

I have tried misting toners in the past but found that so much product ended up on my face and in my eyes that it was like getting sprayed by a super soaker! (Definitely not a good way to unwind at the end of the day!) Luckily, thatโs not the case with BYOMAโs Balancing Face Mist ($19.50). A quick spritz dispenses the perfect amount, and the mist itself is so fine I donโt have to massage it in or use a cotton round to absorb excess product. My skin immediately drinks this up! The Balancing Face Mist feels like itโs truly hydrating my skin rather than just sitting on the surface and rolling off my face. Packed with probiotics, BYOMAโs Balancing Face Mist restores the skinโs microbiome while star ingredient allantoin gently exfoliates and soothes stressed-out skin. This is a face mist thatโs more than just refreshing!
The Serum

As I mentioned earlier, I had been suffering from some serious breakouts earlier this year. BYOMAโs Clarifying Serum ($21.99) quickly became my secret weapon! With anti-inflammatory blue tansy and healing zinc, this serum left my skin hydrated, strengthened, and decongested. In terms of application, I really appreciated that the instructions included exact number of drops to use rather than making me try to decipher how many drops is โa few.โ Whatโs more, the Clarifying Serum greatly reduced the healing time of the breakout I was experiencing when I first began using the serum, and I havenโt had a single breakout since I started incorporating this into my daily routine! I will definitely be repurchasing BYOMAโs Clarifying Serum as soon as I finish this bottle.
My Final Verdict
Adding BYOMAโs Creamy Jelly Cleanser, Balancing Face Mist, and Clarifying Serum to my skincare routine has helped me strengthen my skin barrier, reduce breakouts, and heal irritation. The entire line is designed to support skin health: BYOMAโs trademark tri-ceramide complex, contained in almost every product, hydrates skin while preventing environmental damage and improving barrier function. From there, each product is formulated to address specific concerns, with every ingredient carefully chosen for its skin-healing properties. As an added bonus, BYOMA is part of the Thoughtful Choices collection at Shoppers, so you know the products are good for you and the planet. The colourful rectangular packaging reduces wasted shipping space and can easily be recycled.
Although I havenโt experienced a severe reaction to harsh chemicals or unbalanced actives in my skincare, I am reconsidering my skincare routine to prevent sensitization in the future. BYOMAโs barrier-boosting products will certainly be the core of that new routine!
