SPONSORED // NATURAL AUSTRALIAN SKINCARE FROM MEI & CO - PRODUCT REVIEW


Mei & Co Skincare

I love coming across new beauty brands, and even better when they are hand-made in Australia and cruelty free using 100% natural ingredients such as Australian Oils, Fruits and Extract, Aromatherapy Oils and natural preservatives such as Lemon Myrtle Extract, Aloe Vera Extract, Olive Leaf, Thyme & Rosemary Extract. They contain no chemical nasties, including no phosphates, SLS or parabens,

I’ve put the full Mei & Co skincare range to the test…


The Mei & Co skincare range includes 8 products, and simply everything you'll need in your skincare routine. Here's my thoughts..

Mei & Co Hydrating Cleansing Milk, Refreshing Toning Mist,  
Firming Peptide Cream and  Intensive Eye Cream 


Hydrating Cleansing Milk with Rosehip & Aloe Vera - RRP: AU$27 / 200ml
This Milly cleanser is so light and gently cleanses the skin and removes makeup, while nourishing and moisturising the skin thanks with the added Rosehip Oil and Aloe Vera. It also has Cucumber and Lavender Flower Extract to soothe, along with Desert Lime rich in Vitamin C to firm and rejuvenate the skin, while helping even out the skin tone.
It smells so beautiful from the added make it an ideal cleanser for those with sensitive skin. It is beautifully scented with Orange, Lime, Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang and Neroli.
I particular love using this cleanser as my morning cleanse as it is so gentle and leaves my skin clean, soft and fresh!

Refreshing Toning Mist with Quandong & Papaya - RRP: AU$22 / 200ml
This toner is alcohol free and contains wild harvested Quandong Extract, rich in Vitamin C to help stimulate collagen production, reduce pigmentation and reduce fine lines, while it also acts as an AHA that naturally exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogs pores for a cleaner, clearer and fresh soft skin.
I love the that it is alcohol free so its gentle on the skin, while smelling so divine from the added oils of Lemongrass, Lime and Bergamot.
I also love that it comes in an easy to use spray bottle, so you can also spritz throughout the day, even on top of makeup, if needed, for a refreshed, and healthy dewy skin.

Firming Peptide Cream with Hyaluronic Acid & Native Snow Flower - RRP: AU$28 / 60ml
This cream is made with Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, a peptide that stimulates cell reproduction, and help reduce wrinkles, along with Sunflower extract to reduce sun damage and Co-Enzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid to deeply hydrate, for a skin that is softer, smoother and more toned. It has a beautiful floral scent from the added Jasmine and Rose.
It can be used AM and PM and while it does take a few moments to fully absorb, it’s worth the wait for the soft skin you’re left with.

Intensive Eye Cream with Seabuckthorn & Cucumber - RRP: AU$38 / 30ml 
This eye cream has Cucumber Oil to soothe and help reduce any eye puffiness, along with Lemon Aspen to strengthen the capillary walls and help reduce the appearance of dark circles, while the Seabuckthorn helps intensely hydrate and boost elasticity. 
It can be used AM and PM and its highness means it absorbs immediately so I don’t have to wait applying my eye makeup. It has a beautiful fresh scent from the cucumber and it leaves my eye area feeling soft and looking rejuvenated and refreshed. I also like that it is so gentle that it doesn’t irritate or sting my sensitive eyes 

Mei & Co Blemish Spot Remover, Hydrating Gel Mask,
Vitamin Crystals and Vitamin C Serum 

Hydrating Gel Mask with Hyaluronic Acid & Jojoba Oil - RRP: AU$26 / 60ml

A gel mask with Hyaluronic Acid and a plant-based peptide to add intensive moisture and improve elasticity.
It gorgeous delicate scent from the added Chamomile, Sandalwood and Rose Germanium.
It can be used either as a normal mask for 10-20mins for an instant moisture boost, or alternative as a night mask a few times a week for a more intense hydration.
Often hydrating masks like this are way too intense for my combination skin, but not this one. It is light like a gel serum and literally melts into the skin without greasiness or stickiness, so you completely forget its there! 

Vitamin Crystals with Vitamin C & Malic Acid - RRP: AU$25 / 50g
These crystals contain Vitamin C, fruit-derived Malic Acid from apple along with Aloe Leaf Juice Powder to gently exfoliate, deep clean and brighten the skin.
They are best used by simply adding a small amount into a cleanser a few times a week and then massage it into wet skin. For a more intensive effect, you can simply add ore crystals.
This is such a brilliant product, leaving the skin incredibly soft, smooth and refined, and I really love how you can make it to suit your skin type and its needs! I’m hooked!

Vitamin C Serum with Kakadu Plum & Davidson Plum - RRP: AU$38 / 30ml
This super light serum contains Kakadu Plum with the highest level of Vitamin C to help nourish the skin and brighten the skin, while the Davidson Plum acts as an AHA that helps gently exfoliate the sin, promote cell turnover and even out skin tone. It has a slightly spicy scent from the among others the Lavender and Lemon essential oils.
It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling silky soft and healthy looking, and unlike many other Vitamin C serums, This one has not made my skin break out, no doubt thanks to the Davidson Plumb.

Blemish Spot Remover with Pineapple &White Willow Bark - RRP: AU$24 / 30ml
This natural, yet potent Blemish Spot Remover contains Tea Tree and Lemon Myrtle to help kill surface bacteria, Licorice to help regulate the production of oil, along with Pineapple and White Willow Bark to dissolve dead skin that clog up pores and thus help prevent future breakouts. It can be used AM and PM as a targeted treatment where needed.
Often blemish products are very harsh and drying on the skin - and the natural ones I’ve used of little benefit - so I was amazed to see results in a few breakouts clearing up faster, literally overnight, but without leaving my skin red and irritated. Must have!!


Overall Mei & Co is such a 
beautiful natural Australian brand - the products are as lovely to use as they look in the bathroom, and they effectively care and treat the skin whilst being super gentle! Needless to say that I’ve been enjoying these, with my top pics the Vitamin Crystals, Vitamin C Serum and Blemish Spot Remover - but as you're skin and its needs is likely different to mine, I highly recommend that you try them all out too! 

In addition to this skincare range, Mei & Co also hand-crafts a selection of 100% natural skin-friendly soaps.
