I was contacted by Selina from Cellnique to become part of Cellnique’s bloggers community and do products review on my blog. She asked for my skin condition or my skin concern so she could send the suitable products for my skin condition.

My main skin concerns are:
  • dry skin
  • large pores
  • little signs of aging (fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth)

These are the products I received:

Amino Collagen C Intense Set
Advance Bio Renewal Serum
Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion

I've been using these products for about a month now, and I think it's time I share my opinion with you.

Let's start with some "before and after" pictures:

 Before

 After

I don't know if you can see a difference, but for me, there's definitely an improvment. My skin is much clearer and radiant, the pores on my nose and chin are smaller, and my skin is less dry.

These are the guidelines to use the products in my daily beauty routine:



Amino Collagen C Intense Set



Price: US $96.00/10ml x 2


The claims:



How to use:



Ingredients:



Pros:
  • doesn't really have a scent
  • very light texture
  • absorbs quickly into skin
  • my pores are noticeably smaller after a few weeks of use
  • I noticed improved skin texture


Cons:
  • Intense I stings and burns sensitive skin
  • the dropper dispenser leaks 
  • didn't not get rid of all of my dry skin patches
  • expensive

What I think:

I had better results with Intense I than with Intense II. When I look at the pictures I took before beginning this routine, I can really tell that my pores are smaller, especially on my nose and my chin, and I find this truly amazing because I've never used a product that gave similar results. However, I was scared of using it because it stings and burns my dry skin like hell (even when I used Intense II first, as they suggest for sensitive skin), so I ended up using it only on my nose, chin and cheeks. Intense II did not get rid of all of my dry patches, but it significantly moisturized my skin.


Recommend? yes

Advance Bio Renewal Serum


Price: US $51.00/30ml


The claims:




How to use:




Ingredients:




Pros:
  • thick and creamy but fluid texture 
  • the scent reminds me of vanilla yogurt

Cons:
  • not moisturizing enough
  • didn't appear to have done something to my skin
  • expensive

What I think:
I didn't notice anything special after using this product. I didn't notice a "fresh, radiant and healthy looking skin". This product didn't appear to have dissolved pore clogging debris as I don't see a difference regarding the blackheads on my nose and chin. And I'm not sure if it reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles because the only fine lines I have are around my eyes and around my mouth.

Recommend? no

Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion



Price: US $73.00/30g


The claims:



How to use:



Ingredients:




Pros:
  • doesn't really have a scent 
  • my skin is noticeably softer after use
  • creamy texture

Cons:
  • not moisturizing enough
  • isn't absorbed quickly enough into skin
  • a little greasy
  • expensive


What I think:
This cream moisturized my skin a little, but not enough. As it is anti-inflammatory, it calmed the redness on my face cause by dryness. I like the creamy texture, but it doesn't sink right into the skin. However, I appreaciate the fact that my skin is noticeably softer after use. As


Recommend? yes

  3. Hi Gaby :) I'm glad the Intense 1 and Repair Emulsion gave you good results! But I totally agree that it would turn me off if a skin product stung my skin. It would put me off from using it :\
    Cellnique had sent me a couple of items maybe two months ago? I did review them and I think you saw and commented on my review too! It does work, and thankfully at the price it does. But it would be about $120 or so a month for me to maintain. Quite expensive for me at the moment unfortunately....I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative. Have you heard of the Olay Microsculpting cream? I keep seeing ads that it's better than a $300 cream that they tested. I got a sample of it from Procter and Gamble sampler but not enough to see a difference in three days (as expected). I think I'll give it a try since it's only $30.
    Oh I'm not sure if you can get a prescription for the Aveeno Eczema Care cream. I bought it for $12.99 at Pharma Plus/Rexall. I've only had the one eczema steroid cream prescribed to me. Hopefully together we can figure out how to get rid of the eczema on our right hands! Mine is also mostly on my middle finger too LOL
