Beauty and grooming products that are derived through the experience of running salons and spas tend to produce great products. This is because they have a unique advantage of being able to speak directly to their customers and use said customers as consumer marketing. This Reponse Homme range leans on this expertise and are available online at Beauty Fresh as well as their Matis salons & spas across the UK.

This week I was able to try some of their products listed below and was pleased with the results.

Reponse Homme High Protection Shaving Gel - £11.80

At the time of the trial, I was growing my beard so couldn’t fully test this product, although I did use a small amount to tidy the edges of my beard on the underside of my chin. The gel quickly transforms into a rich cream, foamy texture when applied for a smooth shave. A few notable ingredients in this product are aloe vera, vitamin E and sorbitol which all help nourish and moisturise the skin.

Reponse Homme After Shave Sooth Balm - £31.40

After shaving it is always a good idea to use a shave balm. I would tend to opt for the same brand of shaving gel and after shave balm, just because the brand would have developed them together to compliment each other perfectly. This balm is light and non-greasy that pampers irritated skin through shaving. The main ingredient is peppermint, which is a great ingredient in balm because it helps revitalise and sooth your skin. Notable ingredients are vitamin A, bisabolol, allantoin, and aquaregul - all combined will leave you skin feeling hydrated and calm.

Reponse Homme Shine Control Moisturising Emulsion - £37.40

Using a moisturiser should be the absolute minimum in a daily skincare routine. This one from MATIS is non-greasy and leaves your skin in a matte finish, perfect for applying before heading out the door. It is suitable for all skin types and will help moisturise and protect your skin throughout the day.
