Cellnique wanted to know about my skin condition and areas of concern so they could recommend suitable products. Now I (touch wood) have pretty decent skin without any pressing concerns but I do feel that ever since I started working at night, I've lost that general brightness and radiance. Also, under eye circles and puffiness have started to increase so that's what I wanted to treat. Based on my information, I was sent three products along with instructions on how to use them-
Contour De Puffy Jewel, 15 ml ($54) - With its unique combination of Acetyl Tetrapeptide Gold Dipeptide and Rhodochrosite Extract, this formulation lifts away eye puffiness and dark circles by increasing blood circulation and providing deep moisturizing around the eye area. Designed with a SPF level of 15 it protects skin from those harmful aging UVA and UVB rays.
My Thoughts About Each of Them - Please note that these products have been recommended for my normal-dry skin so that's what I'm basing my reviews on. Also, the effect of a product varies from person to person. Please use any skincare product at your own discretion. 1. Contour De Puffy Jewel - This is the product I was looking forward to trying the most. The packaging of this is really fancy. It's a thick pump tube and when you open the cap, inside, the applicator is similar to that of a pen's nib. There is a tiny opening in that 'nib' and when you press the pump, the product comes out of that opening. I know it sounds very complex but hopefully the picture should help you understand the mechanics. This is a gel and it feels really cool and fresh when I apply it. Only a tiny bit is needed to cover the eye area and I instantly feel a tightening effect. The gel absorbs really fast and works well to hydrate the area. Over the last couple of months, I have seen an improvement in my dark circles and it has worked on reducing puffiness slightly. I must admit that I'm guilty of not using it everyday though. At 3.30 a.m in the morning, it does get kinda tough to do a full skincare regime before sleeping!! But however much I've used the gel, I have seen good results. Will not say that the dark circles and puffiness have vanished completely because it obviously has to do a lot with lifestyle as well but the product does work. My eye area looks a lot brighter and less tired.
2. Derma Brightening Complex - This is the serum that works on skin discoloration, dull and uneven skin tone. The packaging is very stark and 'medical'. The color is light yellow and smells again 'medical'. The texture of the serum is neither thick nor runny and you need only 3-4 drops to cover the entire face. I use my fingers to dot the product all over the face and initially it does feel slightly sticky but absorbs within a minute and dries up without leaving any sticky film on top of the skin. What I love about the serum is that it gives me instant hydration and makes the skin smooth. I had no adverse reaction to the product. It did not break me out and neither was there any itching. Over a period of time, I have noticed the unevenness and slight pigmentation reducing on my face, making the skin more bright and clear. I do not know whether this is the work of the serum alone or a combination of the three products but I have seen a difference and I like it very much!
