Typology creates vegan and cruelty-free skincare products to create transparent products.

Typology was born from a mission: to demystify skincare with simple, straight-talking transparency. We make naturally active, effective and sustainable skincare in France.

Our philosophy is not to add anything to our products to make them stand out; instead we pare them back and distil each formula down to the most-essential, natural active ingredients.

I was drawn in by Instagram advertising + the premium look of the product packaging. I’ve tried the radiance serum and it’s okay but probably won’t be repurchasing. 

I definitely was swayed into purchasing because of their prolific instagram following. Sadly, the product definitely looks of higher quality online rather than in person as the bottles showed up with labels uncentered.

I ordered 3 products, a rosehip oil scrub, an eye serum, and a make-up remover. All of them were good enough for the price but I don't think I am rushing to reorder any of them. The rosehip oil scrub really didn't have enough scrubby pieces to be considered exfoliating and the few pieces in there were overly abrasive. The make-up remover was pretty standard - but I actually ended up using it as a pre-bedtime moisturizer for my hands in the winter. Didn't notice anything with the eye serum. 

I do appreciate the transparency on the website when it comes to ingredients and reviews. Its great if you have very sensitive skin and want to avoid synthetic ingredients.

Swap plastic bottles with glass. Add pumps to cleaners, shampoos.

I love the brand mission. The is the best Natural product brand with affordable prices. And I love the esthetics they are promoting.
Shipping is always fast, receiving on time. All paper based packaging.

Clearer wording on what it is you are buying is always welcome. It can take a while to try to figure out what a product is.

This brand is my favorite for anything skincare. It's got great packaging design and overall feels luxurious. It comes well packed and the shipping is quick coming from France. They have very natural ingredients and none of the smells are strong nor offensive. These products are great if you want to feel good and not break the bank. Loved the moisturizer, cleaning cleanser, and the chemical exfoliant cleanser.

Like others, I too was enticed by this brands amazing Instagram and appeal of it all. When I got my package I was a little bit surprised to see that the bottles were not glass and just had stickers on them. The products were OK, I am a beauty junkie and love to purchase new skin care all the time. I don’t think the products were bad and I enjoy the ingredients but I think I was a little bit misled by thinking that this would be a higher quality than it was. I don’t think the brand is bad but I do think they do a great job at advertising

nothing really! It's a great brand with high quality products :) 

First, the packaging is lovely. I love that it has a more vintage feel, and the products are solid. I do think they are a bit pricey for what the products actually are, but that being said, the Vitamin C oil has become a staple in my everyday routine. I've also tried the hand cream and it's...fine, but nothing particularly special!

I used Typology's rosehip oil, two 100% squalane serum bottles, and make-up remover oil with seven ingredients. I especially enjoyed their squalane serum, which made my dry skin dewy during fall and winter. It was a perfect texture as it was not too oily but still moisturized the skin. Also, their ingredients are all resourced from sustainable farms. Their delivery packaging is all environmentally friendly, which is a highly additional point for me to consume this brand. I recommend this brand to anyone who wants to experience french chic with an affordable price point and clean ingredients. 

Even the "purifying" moisturizer was too heavy for my skin, especially in the summer months.

I confess that I tried this out because the packaging is appealing and I saw it enough times on Instagram. At first it worked quite well for me (particularly the retinol serum) and the price is good. After several months of use, I developed awful bumps at my hairline that I thought were millia. I discontinued everything, went to my derm, and have started up a very pared down routine. Thankfully the bumps went away so I don't know for sure what caused them. If I had to guess, I'd say the moisturizers. There wasn't much variety and both seemed quite heavy for my acne-prone skin.

Overall, the packaging is nice and it's worth a shot if there's an ingredient you know for sure works well for you.

I have been using the Retinol, Vitamin C, and Caffeine serums for 6 months. It is hard to gauge the effectiveness of these kinds of beauty products but I am satisfied with the results I have seen and I like the brand. The price is good, the products are easy to use, and the website is really good at suggesting products for the problems you are having.
