Here is a little insight of Aphelia in their own words ::

The founder of Aphelia is DR Lai, he ventured into Traditional
Chinese medicine when he had health issues with his son and western medical
practices and drug couldn’t help him. So Dr Lai met with a well-known
practitioner of TCM and created a resolution for his sons health issues.
Aphelia use natural
traditional ingredients like:
Panax Ginseng which was used traditionally to slpw the aging
process ( have you noticed that most people of Asian decent age really really
well!!)
Chrysanthemum a dried flower that contains essential oils and
vitamins.
Lyciu, barbarum that is just a complicated word for GOJI BERRY.
Schizandra Sphenanthera Fruit Extract which is a spring time berry and is
known for its energizing powers.
Glycyrrhizae an extract of the dried roots and rhizome of
licorice. It is known for its skin lightening properties.
Paenonia this is a pretty flower and plays an important role
in traditional Chinese medicine. Peony is highly desirable for its potent
dermal antioxidant prowess.
Laminaria digitata again another scientific word for seal kelp. Known
in TCM for binding moisture and drawing it closer the skin with soothing
replumping and detoxification effects.
My initial thought when receiving this package for review, is
the care taken to get it to me in one piece. Then after opening the pack I fell
in love with the packing. It is really keeping in theme with Traditional
Chinese Medicine, and taking you back to the old days. All products I received
came in a green box with gold writing. On one side it had the words ‘ the
origin of beauty’ and on the other side the Chinese writing for this. And this phrase suits this brand perfectly,
of all the Chinese decent people I have met, not once have I been able to pick
their age correctly. They all look amazing for their age and their skin just
glows.
The first product I
used was the Peony eye cream. As
stated above in the ingredients, Peony is highly desirable for its potent
dermal antioxidant prowess... This cream is pretty much a wonder cream. It is
an anti aging cream based on a herbal formula. It contains 9 powerful oriental
extracts so this is your Traditional Chinese Medicine queen. I have used this a
couple of times, but I am not a big fan of focusing on my eyes. I actually get
quite lazy; it should be something I do often as I go all out on the eye makeup
daily. So I will be turning to this product more from now on.
You can get this for
AUD $69.00.
Face
Cleanser and Purifier
AUD $39.00
Aphelia Classic Cleanser with herbal
botanical beauty oils provides nourishment and invigoration paired with
simplicity. Imagine cleansing and removing makeup so gentle leaving soft
refined skin. Botanical beauty oils that beautify
skin remove makeup and cleanse with no residue
Then there is the
Purifying Classic Skin purifier and cleanser. I think this is my favourite facial
cleanser so far.; although it’s a close one as I have used some amazing
products. But this literally leaves my
skin glowing and looking like I have just had a facial done. It really does dig
into them pore gently and remove the dirt and built up gunk!! This product
lives on my bathroom bench for daily use.
It helps hydrate the
skin, so if I really wanted to I wouldn’t even need to use a moisturiser, but I
still like to just in case!! There is nothing worse then trying to pop
foundation on with a dry face. But I
think the classic cleanser doesn’t dry your skin out because it is an oil base.
