Omy Laboratoires Personalized Skincare | Review

Omy Laboratoires* is a Canadian skincare brand that specializes in refillable customized skincare products adapted to your skin needs and concerns. I was first introduced to the brand a couple of years ago, when attending a virtual tour of their laboratory in Quebec City. Co-founded by chemist Rachelle Séguin in 2018, they developed SkinAI, a technology that uses artificial intelligence to analyze skin and create made-to-measure products with ingredients perfectly adapted to your needs. Upon completing their online quiz, Omy develops customized skincare products in their in-house lab, and, in addition to choosing the preferred three active ingredients, you also get to pick the scent and texture you prefer.

After answering a series of questions, I received my personalized recommendations, formulas that will target acne, redness, pores, and hyperpigmentation:

I opted for lighter textures (great for combination to oily skin types) and unscented formulas. The three key ingredients in each of these formulas (ingredients 1, 4 & 7 in their catalogue) are derived from plant sources and are included in each product in my routine. They each come in recyclable packaging and reusable glass bottles that hold a refill, aligning with their commitment to reduce and reuse as a B Corp-certified business.

The first step, the Personalized Serum, has a beautiful and light gel texture featuring glycerin, niacinamide, grape seed extract, camellia sinensis flower leaf extract, and date seed extract. I like how deeply hydrating it is. It is also perfect for sensitive skin and provides a nice boost of radiance. I apply it right after spritzing facial mist, morning and night.

The Personalized Day Cream contains a fireweed extract known to address the spread of bacteria linked to acne. It also includes camellia sinensis leaf extract, glycerin, date seed extract, radish root ferment and salicylic acid as a few other ingredients. I apply this directly after the Personalized Serum, and it sets in quickly and smoothly, making it a great option under makeup.

The Personalized Night Cream provides instant comfort thanks to hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and phytoceramides. I opted for a lighter texture, and it sinks beautifully and quickly into the skin. I make sure to bring it down my neck as well, and it has made a big difference to counter my dry winter skin.

Since starting this routine over the past three months, I have been seeing great results. My skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and my acne is under control. I don't have any complaints - I really feel like these products are perfectly tailored to my skin type. Two big thumbs up from me!

Yves Saint Laurent Libre L'eau Nue Parfum de Peau | Review

2026-01-30T11:32:00.001-05:00

Yves Saint Laurent Libre L’Eau Nue* is a fragrance designed to feel like sunlight on bare skin. From the first spritz, this YSL parfum de peau delivers a fresh, radiant citrus opening that feels clean and modern rather than sharp. It’s bright without being loud — the kind of perfume that sits close to the body and enhances your natural scent instead of overpowering it. If you love light, skin-like fragrances, Libre L’Eau Nue immediately stands out as a wearable everyday option.

As the fragrance develops, the citrus softens into a luminous orange blossom heart that feels warm, floral, and sun-kissed. The orange blossom note is elegant and natural, never syrupy or powdery, giving the perfume a refined softness. A gentle lavender base adds structure and balance, preventing the scent from feeling too sweet while keeping the composition airy. The result is a citrus-floral perfume that feels effortless, polished, and intimate — exactly what you want from a modern parfum de peau.

What makes YSL Libre L’Eau Nue especially appealing is how easy it is to wear. This is a daytime fragrance that works beautifully in warm weather, on weekends, or anytime you want to smell fresh and put-together without wearing a heavy perfume. The alcohol-free formula melts into the skin and wears like a fine mist, leaving behind a radiant trail that feels clean rather than perfumey. It’s subtle, but memorable — the kind of scent people notice when they’re close.

In terms of longevity, Yves Saint Laurent Libre L’Eau Nue wears as expected for a fresh parfum de peau. On skin, the fragrance lasts around 4 to 6 hours before fading into a soft, close scent that feels like a natural extension of your skin. It’s not designed to project heavily or dominate a room — instead, it stays intimate and refined. Moisturized skin helps extend wear time, making layering with an unscented lotion a simple way to boost performance.

Libre L’Eau Nue will appeal most to people who prefer light, radiant perfumes over bold statement fragrances. It’s ideal for office wear, travel, warm climates, and everyday use when you want something polished yet effortless. Fans of citrus floral perfumes and skin scents will appreciate how modern and breathable it feels compared to heavier designer fragrances. If your fragrance style leans toward clean, elegant, and understated, this YSL release fits beautifully into a minimalist perfume wardrobe.

From Yves Saint Laurent:

Summer freedom in a scent. For my skin. The first alcohol-free Parfum de Peau by Yves Saint-Laurent. The beauty of Mediterranean nature. A breakthrough oil-in-water formula for a radiant, glowing skin. Pulpy citruses, a sultry orange blossom. An endless summer day on your skin.
