[Brand Deep Dive] AXIS-Y

We love discovering new beauty brands, and in today’s Brand Deep Dive we want to talk about a famous social media one, that we cannot wait to try out. Let’s talk about AXIS-Y and its products. 

Empowerment and confidence

AXIS-Y describes itself as a brand that’s “Inclusive and free spirited”. On their site they speak up about beauty and how “beauty is not about following a certain standard, beauty is your ultimate values, your uniqueness, your passion and your story.” (Source: AXIS-Y).

Their products were created to tackle the constant climate change and how everyones’ skin is affected by it. Their formulas are free from harmful ingredients, and on top of this they are committed to be safe for everyone and are vegan and cruelty free.

AXIS-Y divides its brand by type of products, ranging from cleansers to serums, moisturisers, SPFs, face sheets, and so on. Let’s now take a closer look at their products. 

Cleansers

Clearing and hydrating are the main goals of the ‘Quinoa One Step Balanced Gel Cleanser’. Quinoa is a not so common ingredient in skincare, however, this cleanser claims that in combination with natural nutrients, it will remove environmental toxins and level the skins’ PH level. 

This cleanser also has in its ingredient list green tea and centella asiatica, and with these two we know we have a powerful combination for calming and balancing oil levels on the skin. Find out more about this product here.

The ‘Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam’ is set at a pH 5.5, making it perfect to remove impurities and provides that clear and balanced complexion. The inclusion of Glycerin will help restore the skin barrier, and together with green tea and camomile, this product will leave your skin soft and moisturised.

Toners 

Going into toners AXIS-Y has in this line the ‘Daily Purifying Treatment Toner’ with exfoliating and soothing properties. This toner includes a higher amount of AHA and PHA for gentle chemical exfoliators, and together with centella asiatica, this toner will purify the skin while soothing it.

In the same line, they also have the ‘Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment’. This one does not only help with the relief of breakout and blemishes but also has anti-inflammatory benefits. Check their in-depth ingredient breakdown here.

The last 2 products on their serum/ampoule line are the ‘Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule’ and the ‘Advanced Aqua Boosting Ampule’. The former is formulated for healing and calming the skin with anti-inflammatory ingredients and antioxidants that will replenish your skin. 

For deep moisturising effects and a dewy look, the ‘Advanced Aqua Boosting Ampule’ helps with skin regeneration and strengthening of the skin barrier. 

Moisturisers and Sunscreen 

We are starting this one with the ‘Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen’ perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. This sunscreen besides protecting from UVB and UVA rays also has niacinamide and squalane that protects and heals the skin. For more information about this product and its application, click here.

Helping with the sebum production we have the revolutionary ‘Cera-Heart My Type Duo Cream’, what I really loved about this product is how it is so perfect for combo skin. It includes a gel-type cream for the T zone, and a thicker one for the U zone.
