Typology is a premium natural (vegan) skincare line based in Paris, France. They comply with the stringent European cosmetic regulations -far exceeding that of the US, and go a step further by banning many more ingredients. See their “Ingredient Black List” here . They identified 24 “typologies”/ specific skin types. You can take a diagnostic evaluation on their website to identify your typology. Mine is DE (-). discreet skin aging and sebum hypoproduction- I have fine lines and wrinkles and run somewhat dry. Typology then formulates a personalized “prescription” of products for a full AM and PM skincare regimen based on your skin type. I love how clinical this feels.
I was bemused at how much product was in each container – definitely no skimping here. Each of the 8 products I am using are gentle and have caused no reaction.
I’ve used the products daily for 5 weeks now.
Here is what I am loving:

This is so luxurious. it contains 3% macadamia nut oil. I’ve never used a product with macadamia nut oil before! It feels nourishing and soothing. It leaves a bit of a yellow cast on the skin after application but fades shortly after and does not deter me from use. There is no greasy feel or finish after it is absorbed. I have not gone a day without using this since I received the package. I apply this AM and PM.
This cleansing gel is so gentle. It contains PHA- Poly Hydroxy Acid which is a gentler form of alpha hydroxy acid. This is a great way to implement chemical exfoliation into your routine. We talk all about chemical exfoliants in this post. My skin feels hydrated after use, never dry.
This is a wonderful way to ease into using a retinol product. The Tsubaki (plant based) oil makes it hydrating and gentle. And super impressive…… it has a Yuka score of 100/100. (With the Yuka app you can scan any food or cosmetic barcode and see how it rates. Ingredients are scored into 4 categories: risk-free: green dot. low risk: yellow dot, moderate risk : orange dot and hazardous: red dot) Like wow. No retinol I have used prior would come close. Additionally, I love this product because it is moisturizer + retinol in one. I would certainly recommend this to any retinol newbie.

I haven’t seen a difference with the 11% Vitamin C Radiance Serum just yet. I was excited about this product. In all fairness, I have very little hyperpigmentation but with the dark spots I do have, no change as of yet. I’ll continue to use and will report back.

This set includes 4 serums: Vitamin C (AM), Hyaluronic and B5 (AM) , Caffeine and Niacinimide (for the eye area- AM and PM), Lactic Acid and Acerola Acid Exfoliating (PM). This is a special gift for the beauty lover in your life who’s a purist when it comes to skincare.
The Eye Contour Serum which I discussed above is only $24 and would make a wonderful gift.
The Glow Drops look amazing! This seems similar to the Saie Glowy Super Gel Highlighter, however this contains 5% Vitamin C and is more of a serum where the Saie is definitely a gel consistency. I’ll try it and report back. Shall I do a side by side comparison? Let me know in the comments!
