CELLNIQUE SKIN CARE REVIEW

Ok, here's what I was trying to post the other day! Finally got it re-written! Hope you all enjoy this review and find it helpful!

A little over a month ago Cellnique Paramedical sent me a few items to try and review. I told them that I had issues with uneven skin tone, pores, under eye bags, and fine lines around my eyes. I've been using these products for about 4 and half weeks now and the following is my honest opinion.

Amino Collagen C Intense Set

"A highly intensive skin rejuvenating combination targets at large pores, the appearance of fine lines and sagging skin. The Amino Collagen C Intense Set consist two serums work synergistically to encourage a firm, youthful and elastic quality skin.

Amino Collagen C Intense I

This high-potency vitamin C serum helps improve skin resilience and refine open pores.

Amino Collagen C Intense II

This oil-free serum contains a proven low-density Hyaluronate Acid, a natural moisturizer which is able to attract 1000 times its weight in water. Rich in soy and silk protein, Amino Collagen Intense II helps repair damaged cells and instantly delivers a silky smooth texture after application."

The Intense I is pale yellow, thicker than water, and almost smells like nail polish remover. It's not a strong scent, but it's not one I enjoy. Going on my face, it doesn't glide on, I do have to work it in a bit. It also makes my skin tingle just a bit and it feels a little warm as well. It didn't bother me though or irritate my skin. I was really hoping I would see an improvement in the size of my pores after using this. So far, I see no change. But I'm not going to give up! I read in Allure magazine that you should give skin products at least 6 months to show results--but hopefully it won't take that long.

The Intense II is clear, thicker than water, and has a very faint scent. This truly does make my skin feel more moisturized! Unlike the Intense I, this just glides onto my skin and feels awesome! I have to say, after using this for several weeks, my skin does feel smoother!

Pros:

1. For both of these, a little really does go a long way. I'd say these will last me 2 months!

2. Intense I really does hydrate my super dry skin.

Cons:

1. Both formulas are in a dropper bottle. I'd much prefer them to be with a pump. It gets a little messy with the dropper and pumps are just more hygienic if you ask me.

2. Price!! This set of two 0.34oz bottles cost $96.00!! Too far out of my league! But hey, if you get the results you're looking for, I suppose it's a small price to pay!

• Strengthens and regenerates skin tissues

• Soothes, softens, and hydrates the delicate eye-area skin

• Sun protection with SPF15"

I really was so excited to try this one! I've got horrible darkness all around my eyes, puffyness PDiddy would be jealous of, and fine lines around my eyes. I put this on twice a day, in the morning and right before bed, and I'm so happy to say that I've seen a big change! I tried taking pictures to chronicle the experience, but my camera's not great at picking up fine details, but take my word for it! It really made a big difference. Now, I still have a lot of discoloration around my eyes, but the puffyness is almost 100% gone! I just dab a little on and take the puffyness away! It also goes on really smoothly and doesn't tug on my skin. There's a very faint scent, but I don't mind it.

Pros:

1. Comes in a 0.5oz PUMP that will last forever! All I need is half a pump each time I uses it.

2. I've really seen a difference in my under eyes using this!

Cons:

1. Because the bottle is opaque, I've got no idea how much is left in here.

2. It's a bit pricey at $54.00.
