GLW Insiders: Biophora

GLW Insiders are back again with another product testing! This time; Biophora Medical Grade Skincare.

5 women were selected to participate in a 3 week trial of Biophora. They each met with Tracy, the senior educator at Biophora, discussed their skin concerns and what they wanted to improve. Tracy then provided them with a protocol to follow.

Watch their videos below for their skincare journey and thoughts on the products they used.

Mathilde’s Notes on Products:

Bioactive Cleanser: Good “gel” cleanser, not too drying and great to remove makeup. I felt that my skin was very clean after using it, even on days I didn’t double cleansed.
Bioactive solution: I really liked this product. It had a light tingling effect and I felt like it really worked to exfoliate/keep my skin clear. This product is clear and very liquid (water/alcohol like).
Spotless: Great product, it did an amazing job removing/reducing the appearance of the blackheads on my nose. This product is like a thick brownish paste.
Bioactive gel: Overall, I felt like it did what it was supposed to do. This product is a clear gel.
Light hydration: This moisturizer is very very light. I you have dry skin, dry patches, even normal skin, I felt like it wouldn’t work. For me, I have very oily skin so I didn’t feel like my skin was tight or dry. However, it wasn’t my favorite product, especially under makeup (looked a little dry). This product is more like a gel-cream.
Actibac veil: Overall, I felt like it did what it was supposed to do, it kept me less oily. This product is a white cream.
Suncreen: Overall, I felt like it did what it was supposed to do. This product is a light cream.

Mathilde’s Overall thoughts:

I really liked the Biophora products and I would 100% recommend them to my friends. The main difference that I saw was reduced pore sizes and blackheads which are my main concerns. I have used other medical grade lines and pricey products in the past and I didn’t see such a difference. After 2-3 days, I noticed a good difference in pore sizes and appearance of my blackheads (I continued to see improvements with usage). I get occasional pimples and did not have any during the time I was testing the Biophora products. If I saw a pimple coming, I put a bit of Spotless on it and the next day it was gone. After 1-2 weeks, my skin was definitely brightened and clearer. I think using the full Biophora routine helped me see great results.I would say that my top 3 products are spotless (can’t live without now!), bioactive solution and cleanser. Also, when I finished the testers provided by Biophora, I repurchased most of the products myself because I saw such a great improvement in the appearance of my skin. I would also highlight that the price point of the products is good. I feel like the quality/effectiveness of the Biophora products is better than higher priced products (sold at Sephora or other medical grade lines). Product size is also great. I feel like full size products will last me a long time.
