Cellnique Review: D'Sensi Cream + Vital Cellular Repair Masque

Cellnique is a Malaysia based beauty salon brand that sells skincare products

My main skin concerns are skin sensitivity and redness. Two products I was given to review based on my skin needs: D'Sensi Cream and their Vital Cellular Repair Masque







Shipping:
-free worldwide shipping for orders of $60 USD or more

-if your order is less than $60 USD, their flat rate shipping charges are very reasonable (eg: $10 USD shipping to Canada from Malaysia)

-the company has a No Paper. No Bag. campaign for environmental awareness


Packaging:

-I prefer products like this in containers rather than in tubes because I can get all the product out. I don't like the fuss of cutting open a tube to dig the last bits of product out.
-I like how there's a seal on the packaging so you know it has not been open/used (picture below has white vertical sticker seal intact)

























$54 USD / 30 grams
Lasted me about a month when used twice a day

Texture: Creamy

Scent: Unscented (I think!)

Application: Use day & night after cleansing, toning and serum


I like how this cream moisturizes and absorbs well. Because it absorbs well (not oily) I could use it under my foundation. On most days I did not use it in the mornings because I like to use a lotion with SPF.
I do not use a toner and I chose not to use a serum for review purposes. So all I did was cleanse my face and apply this cream at night.







$45 USD / 50 mL (1.7 fl oz)

One container would probably last 1.5 - 2 months when used once a week

Texture: Creamy. Cooling.
Scent: Very light pineapple smell (it contains papaya and pineapple extract)

Application: Apply a thick layer on clean face for 20 minutes. Rinse off with water.



When I first tried to rinse this off, I was a bit worried water alone wouldn't remove the creamy film. But after several splashes of water the masque is completely removed. I like how the masque is more on the moisturizing side because my skin is not dry and taut right after.

I was happy to see that this cream is great for sensitive skin since it's even suitable for post-operational skin.


Verdict: The following pictures speak for themselves. The two products used in conjunction got rid of a considerable amount of redness in my skin. I am impressed. However I don't see a marked difference between the 10 day point and the one month point, do you?
