What Makes It Special

Unlike many loose powders that can feel drying or chalky, Sisley’s version is infused with their Ideal Skin Complex. This trio of botanical extracts (cucumber extract + glyco‑complex, green lentil, and buckwheat‑peach blossom) works behind the scenes to hydrate, smooth, and refine your skin.

Thanks to a clever micro-emulsion technology, Sisley is able to deliver hydration in a powder format—micro-droplets carry the skin-active ingredients deeper for long-lasting moisture. Over time, skin feels plumper, pores look less visible, and texture improves.

How It Looks & Feels on Skin

Shade 2, “Translucent / Beige,” is designed to mattify the skin without flattening it. According to Sisley, the finish is natural and airy, not overly powdery. It helps blur imperfections and control shine, especially in the T-zone. Plus, the texture is silky and delicate—use a powder puff for full-face application or a soft brush for lighter coverage.

How It Fits Into A Routine

I love using this powder after applying my foundation or tinted moisturizer. A quick tap across the forehead, nose, and chin keeps my makeup in place all day, without a heavy “cake” feeling. On more humid days, it’s my go-to for shine control. On dry or cold days, the hydrating aspect feels like a little skin treat.

My Verdict

If you want a loose powder that’s as much skincare as it is makeup, this is one of the best. Shade 2 (Translucent) gives a soft matte effect, but doesn’t sacrifice comfort or skin health. It’s an elegant choice for anyone who cares about skin texture, hydration, and a refined, natural finish.

Soothing Rebalancing Shampoo

This one’s ideal if your scalp is prone to sensitivity, dryness, or occasional irritation. It’s enriched with botanical extracts and essential oils like sage and juniper, which help calm and soothe the scalp while gently cleansing. I reach for this on days when my scalp feels a little reactive, whether it’s from product build-up or too much sun exposure (detailed review here).

What makes it even better is pairing it with the Soothing Rebalancing Cure Serum from Sisley. It’s a lightweight, leave-in treatment that helps restore scalp balance over time — think of it as skincare for your scalp. Together, these two leave my scalp feeling calm, fresh, and comfortable without stripping away moisture.

Gentle Purifying Shampoo

Now, if you’re dealing with oiliness, build-up, or just need a really good clarifying wash without the dryness, the Gentle Purifying Shampoo is your new best friend. It’s designed to purify and refresh while keeping the scalp balanced, thanks to ingredients like lemon and verbena extracts. I like using this one after a few days of styling product or post-beach hair to hit reset (detailed review here).

For those looking to boost scalp health and hair strength alongside their shampoo, the Revitalizing Fortifying Serum for the Scalp is worth considering. It’s another leave-in treatment that helps strengthen hair at the root, reduce fall-out, and improve overall density over time.

Final Thoughts

Both shampoos are gentle, beautifully scented, and feel like an at-home spa moment. If your scalp needs soothing and hydration, go for the Soothing Rebalancing option. If you’re after a clean, fresh start without harshness, the Gentle Purifying Shampoo is perfect. Either way, Sisley’s scalp serums pair like a dream with both. Since starting to use serums in my post-wash hair routine I have seen a huge improvement in comfort and overall hair health. Check out my review of Cure Serum here and Revitalizing Fortifying Serum here. What I love is that these serums don't weigh down freshly washed hair. A must for those who want a quick and simple hair care solution! Additionally, my go-to hair brush is the Radiance Hair Brush, which is both effective and gentle for the scalp and hair (review here).

For skincare, I have been loving the new Sisley Paris Sensitive Skin Soothing Care (review here) and my everyday lip care, Phyto-Lip Balm in Shade 4 (review here).
