I am a beauty editor based in California, and was a judge in the Beauty Shortlist Awards for 2021, where I discovered Sage & Ylang’s microbiome-friendly cleanser and essence featuring pre- and postbiotics. The cleanser is incredibly gentle and one that I consistently reach for, including post-treatment. But the Essence is my favorite; it imparts unbelievable GLOW. I have an aesthetician friend I let try the duo who experienced the same glowy radiance to her complexion. I am so excited to try the moisturizer!
Thank you so much for the products,
Sage & Ylang!

This makes a difference in the hydration and moisturised feel on my face, without it feeling greasy.
Melanie –
Amazing scent, feels light and absorbs well! Hydration is just right, especially when used in combination with the Beauty Essence.
Evelyn –
I like that very little product goes a long way, they spread easily on the skin and absorb well. I also noticed my complexion has evened out !
Shah –
The entire Microbiome series fits my sensitive skin – which is a mixture of dry and oily. After using this daily for a month, the texture of my skin has evened out!
Narelle –
Irene has the best service! She will chat with you and provide a skin consultation and then recommend boosters in addition to the essence. You can add up to 2 boosters to treat your skin. The option to customise is great!
Jing Hao –
Product is good, my skin problem is have some acne and red skin, after i using the product for a months with my other skincare product, I have long long time didn’t saw any pimple came out. And all the problem i feel has been solved. Now I am more confident without make up when i going out. My favourite product is the essence, i can feel the effect when i’m using it on my face. Generally the experience of the product is good,

I have been using Sage and Ylang Microbiome products for few weeks now, and it always helps to calm down my inflammation. I believe with continuous use of the products i will achieve better skin.
Cal Lim –
The gentle face cleanser was surprisingly pleasant to use. It can remove light makeup as well. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth after every wash. Highly recommended as it is PH balanced and a very gentle cleanser.
Ernie Tjioe –
The first thing that i notice about this series is the natural fragrance from the cleanser. Love love love the smells as i cleanse my face. I am not a big fan of cleansers that doesn’t lather much as it doesn’t feel clean enough. But to my surprise, this cleanser did such an amazing job. It does make my skin felt clean and moist at the same time. What not to love about it!
My skin leaning towards dry and sensitive type. A lot of skincare that i’ve tried either left my skin too oily or can’t provide enough moisture. Tried the microbiome essence and moisturiser, and it provided sufficient hydration and felt light on skin. It absorbs almost instantly which is one of the most important point for me. Overall, love this series! And thank you for developing such an awesome products. 🙂

I rarely have breakouts now! My skin looks and feels more plump, my pores have also decreased in size; it is not as visible now.
Jodie. T –
Really love how gentle these products are on my skin, and love how it protects my skin microbiome ✨

Happened to chance upon Sage & Ylang microbiome products. My sensitive skin is calmed and condition has improved after usage. Highly recommend these products for those with sensitive skin. Thanks Sage & Ylang !
Michelle Koh –
The Biomecare series is amazing. The beauty essence customises the ingredients to my skin which is on the drier side. Coupled with the moisturiser, my skin feels hydrated and nourished at the same time. Really love the lightness to the skin- no oily feeling but felt the tinge of suppleness with the hydrating effect. Thank you Irene for being so patient in guiding me by equipping me with the knowledge of skincare. With understanding, I feel very assured and empowered on what goes into my skin! Looking forward to more creative innovations!

There aren’t many skincare products that I find suitable with my two acne prone teens but I can confidently share Sage & Ylang regimen with them without having to worry about breakouts or harmful ingredients.
Claye –
More of an emulsion than a cream, it gives my skin beautiful moisture without weight, making it the perfect under sunscreen choice.
Taliar –
I love the texture of this moisturiser it feels so light it could almost be a serum yet packs a super nourishing punch and layers beautifully and with the added benefit of protection against blue light from UV rays and digital devices what is not to love.
This works so well for my dehydrated and blemish prone skin ❤️
Saloni –
I found the texture to be lightweight and very nourishing without clogging my pores or leaving any residue. Sometimes to look for in spring and summer!
Sarah –
This Moisturiser is a daily staple in my routine since I‘ve opened it.The texture is very lightweight and it absorbs easily but gives a boost of hydration, freshness and wellbeing.
Savannah –
Having sensitive skin I can say that this product is very suitable for skin like mine. It integrates well into any existing routine which is also very comfortable and important. The scent of this gem – I would call it „citrus milkshake“ – it smells milky with a sweet orange scent .. so delicious ????
Sharon Goh –
Textures are light, soft and with a very pleasant refreshing sensation. I look forward to my morning skincare routine as it wakes up my skin and refreshes me up.
Jaclyn –
The best skincare investment i made on myself in 2021! After testing countless of brands, and my skin barrier being so broken and compromised….I WAS SO THANKFUL and genuinely relieved I found a clean, sustainable and ethical brand that worked for me. My hyper sensitive and oily skin has been balanced back and despite the weather/hormonal changes I am able to know how to manage my skin because of the information that SAY has been sharing on their social platforms. So I thank you SAY Team for all these!!
Esther –
Very light-weighted and hydrating for my skin! I love the citrus scent and how fast it is absorbed in!
Alice –
Possibly the best pre and post biotic routine, a long time favourite of mine, in 3 simple steps! This moisturiser has a formidable scent, Love it!
