alche{me} Personalised Moisturiser: Editor’s review
The concept of “bespoke skincare” is very novel and I’ve never heard of it before I knew about alche{me}.
So how does it customise your products?
In order to understand what your skin needs, alche{me} requires you to go through an online skin consultation. You upload a selfie for analysis and answer questions related to how your skin behaves and reacts, your day-to-day lifestyle, and the city you lives in (so the system can find out how badly pollution might affect you). And within five minutes, you get a report about your skin concerns!
But does the product really deliver what it promises: a moisturiser that addresses the skin woes that you have?
I find that the alche{me} Personalised Moisturiser has a comforting texture that absorbs quickly into skin. My skin feels instantly hydrated and supple upon application, and I like that it sits nicely under makeup, without interfering with it. I have combination skin and often notice my T-zone oiling up by mid-day. I notice that the moisturiser has a mattifying effect on my T-zone, and I don’t suffer as much shine as before since I started using the product.
I’m ready for work with just light makeup.
On nights when I sleep with the air-conditioner on, I wake up with skin that feels less tight and dry. In fact, my skin has a subtle glow and a nice bounce in the morning – something that I certainly appreciate, because it means I can use less makeup and still look presentable for work.
alche{me} Personalised Moisturiser uses only natural ingredients, which is something that feels reassuring. As with any product that I’m using for the first time, I’m always cautious about whether my skin would react to it negatively. Thankfully, this product agrees very well with my skin and I didn’t see any irritation or redness throughout my trial period.
The positive experience that I have with the Personalised Moisturiser makes me want to try out the other products by the brand. It looks like bespoke skincare is not just a hype after all!

Summary
Many of the reviewers found that the online skin consultation was very convenient, and that it accurately pinpointed the skin concerns that they had.

Rachel Low
Concerned with acne and dull skin
When I first received the alche{me} Personalised Moisturiser, I was experiencing very bad breakouts from stress and was looking for an effective solution. The online consultation correctly picked up the fact that I was under high stress, which was really affecting my skin badly. After using my personalised moisturiser in both the day and night, I found that my breakout is now under control! I will definitely continue using this during my evening routine, as I love its refreshing scent – it really sets the mood when I am getting ready for bed. Absolutely recommending this to others!
Jasmine Tsoi
Concerned with oil production and uneven skin tone
I have combination skin, which tends to get oily. Through the online consultation, I found out that I also had an uneven skin tone, and needed to increase my skin’s protection against environmental pollution. I liked the texture, which was a gel that was quickly absorbed and felt comfortable on my skin. My skin felt more moisturised and my overall skin condition has improved. This is actually not my first time using alche{me}’s products – I really like the idea of having my moisturiser personalised through an online consultation. I also love the non-sticky texture that doesn’t make my skin feel oily.
Dawn Phua
Concerned with acne, pores, wrinkles, pigmentation
My combination skin and multiple skin concerns (from acne to wrinkles) can make it tricky to get a moisturiser that works. I really love this product, from the fact that I can customise a solution to my problems, and the scent of it. Will repurchase this one from alche{me}!
Jessie Quek
Concerned with pigmentation, wrinkles
After I apply the moisturiser, my dry skin feels immediately felt hydrated and looked significantly brighter. I’m fully aware that my dark spots are not going to disappear after short period of usage, but I believe that constant usage will help me to resolve my skin pigmentation issue. This lightweight moisturiser feels watery, and is great to wear under foundation. It is also nice to know that my personalised moisturiser does not contain any extra “ingredients” that my skin can do without.
Kym Tey
Concerned with pigmentation, sagging eyes
The online questions were easy and fast to complete, and the product reached me in good condition. Despite its thick creamy consistency, it wasn’t uncomfortable at all. In fact, I found that the product was readily absorbed and suitable for both day and night use. It is a very hydrating moisturiser that made my skin feel very smooth, and I don’t see my skin flaking at all. I can actually apply my makeup more easily in the morning. While I did not really see my pigmentation lightened, I am proud to be using alche{me}’s products, as the brand uses environmentally-friendly materials and plant-based ingredients, so I will repurchase this.
Alicia Ang
Concerned with dullness and uneven skin
I have dull skin, so I hoped to see brighter and more even skin after using alche{me}’s moisturiser. I like that the product is personalised and customised to my own skin issues, so it allows me to effectively treat the affected areas. Will I buy again? Yes!
Candy Tan
Concerned with fine lines, sagging skin, and puffy eyes
I wanted to improve the appearance of fine lines and get firmer skin with this moisturiser, and I was satisfied with the results. The product actually smells good even though it has no fragrance. It is lightweight and easily absorbed by my skin, so I will buy alche{me}’s Personalised Moisturiser again.
Nicole Tan
Concerned with oil control and acne
It took me a while to get used to the product as the moisturiser has a thick texture. It can be difficult to spread out, so I actually mix it with my serum, and it works! I opted for a fresh cucumber scent, which is really refreshing and different from the usual floral or sweet smell. I observed that my pores look smaller and my face does not get too oily, which I really like. I would recommend this personalised moisturiser because it actually caters to each person’s targeted problems.
Lim Li Ting
Concerned with oil control, acne, and large pores
My key issues are oily skin that is prone to acne and my large pores. I chose a non-scented moisturiser, but I do think there is a woody smell to it. I personally did not see a difference in terms of oil control, but I think I may need more time to try this product over a longer period of time to see more significant results.
Nicole Lee
Concerned with oil control and blemishes
Blemishes are my main skin concerns. In addition, I wanted to improve my skin’s oil control ability. The alche{me} Personalised Moisturiser met my expectations as a moisturiser – it was non oily with a gel-like texture, and my skin did feel more hydrated after usage. However, I will need more time using it to determine its efficacy.
Lim Hui Ning
Concerned with acne, pores, pigmentation
My personalised moisturiser has worked well and helped to improve the appearance of my pores, which was an area of concern identified by my online consultation. I am happy with the product, but I am not sure how well it works for some skin issues (e.g. skin tone) as these will take a longer time to observe. However, I am very satisfied with the results I have seen so far, and want to continue using this. I will also check out other products from alche{me}!
Trish Koon
Concerned with dry skin
Being able to do a skin consultation online was very convenient. I opted for a moisturiser with a fresh cucumber scent, which I did not personally enjoy. I did, however, like the packaging a lot, as there is a personal touch, having your name printed on it. I also felt that the product could be more hydrating, as I have drier combination skin.
Niki
Concerned with dry skin
The analysis told me that I have dehydrated skin, so I wanted to find something that can moisturise and balance my skin. I think this moisturiser does improve my skin. The concept of a personalised moisturiser done with an online skin analysis is very good, and I did see an improvement in my skin, so I will repurchase this.
Adelyn Chen
Concerned with dry skin, acne
I have acne caused by dry skin, so I wanted a moisturiser that could really hydrate my skin. This one from alche{me} certainly did the job: I saw an improvement in my skin just within two weeks. I think it definitely suits my skin, and I really love the personal touch provided. I would definitely recommend alche{me}’s Personalised Moisturiser to others. The whole purchase journey is just so convenient – it was quick, yet very personalised!
Amanda Wang
Concerned with dull, uneven skin and wrinkles
My online consultation was very convenient, and it correctly identified the skin issues I wanted to improve: dullness and wrinkles. I loved that the gel-like texture of the product: it was very hydrating, lightweight, and easily absorbed by skin. After weeks of using this, my skin tone and texture have definitely improved. I see that my scars have also lightened and my complexion is a lot more radiant. I definitely recommend this moisturiser from alche{me} because it’s highly customised to each individual’s skin problems, and it has worked very well for me.
Koh Jia Xin
Concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity
I did observe slight improvements in my skin, although there were not considerably significant as skin is generally okay, except for some minor problems like wrinkles. The good thing about a personalised moisturiser is that each individual’s area of concern focused on. This one also contains botanical active ingredients and feels comfortable on the skin – absolutely not sticky at all – so I will repurchase and recommend this moisturiser from alche{me} to friends who have sensitive skin, and have more skin concerns.
Farhanah Bte Mohamed Amin
Concerned with sagging eyelids, dark circles, puffiness, crow’s feet
My main skin concerns are mostly the skin area around my eyes. According to my consultation, I have sagging eyelids, dark circles, puffiness, and crow feet. I hoped to improve the elasticity of my skin with the personalised moisturiser from alche{me}, and I was not disappointed. I saw significant results in terms of my skin texture, which I was very satisfied with. However, I found the product texture to be rather thick and creamy for my oily skin.
Josephine Ng
Concerned with wrinkles and pigmentation
alche{me}’s Personalised Moisturiser was creamy and rather rich. It took quite a while for a layer on my upper lip to be absorbed, but was okay for the rest of the face. My oil production seemed to have reduced by a bit. I also experienced fewer breakouts during the trial – I’m not sure if it was entirely due to the moisturiser, though there were no other significant changes to my skin during the trial period.
Geraldine Song
Concerned with pigmentation
I opted for the fresh cucumber scent, which was rather comfortable. Personally, I had hoped that the moisturiser would reduce the pigmentation, but I did not manage to see significant results.
Jady Tan
Concerned with sensitive skin
Because it was customised for my skin concerns, I did see a reduction in redness of my skin. Even though I have sensitive skin, the fresh cucumber scent that I chose was comfortable and did not irritate my skin. In fact. My face did not itch as much as before and my makeup also stayed on longer throughout the day. Besides the fact that the moisturiser works for me, I also love the nice packaging! It is such a cute touch to have my name printed on the label.
