[Skincare] Cellnique treatment review

This is a post continuum from my Cellnique skincare review
This time, I am going to talk about their treatments, yes, they provide facial treatments.


Their treatment list: http://www.cellnique.my/index.php/treatments/treatment-list.html

Till now, I have only tried Intensive Moisturizing Treatment and Skin Renewal treatment. Intensive Moisturizing treats normal skin while Skin Renewal is more targeted to skin problems. Since I dont have problematic skin( mine is oily/combination, enlarged pores, blackheads and dry) so I dont need those reversal or anti aging ones. Bear in mind that your skin might differ from mine so its better to take consultation advice from them which treatment suits you best.
I tried on intensive moisturizing to treat dry areas around my cheeks. Beauticians helps you remove your makeup and sunblock first and then cleanse your face. They explain every steps and products applied on you. After cleansing, toner is sprayed and pat dry. After which the pineapple masque or I call it the scrub application. Smells fruity like pineapple with small fine beads for gentle exfoliation. Almost all other treatments begins with a pineapple step. Then wash off, toner and another concentrate moisturizing serum where she applied ultrasound for effective absorption (so cooling and relaxing cause it was cold). I managed to snooze for a while. Hee :D Then,  the part I dreaded the most- extraction. T__T die die also must bear the pain while trying hard not to make any noise. In extraction step, beauticians uses the extractor to push out any zits if you have acnes, or simply to pluck out any whiteheads/blackheads. Depending on how serious your skin condition is, this may last up to an hour. Proceeding is the algae masque, for soothing the swollen face and reduce the redness. Next up to the treatment you chose, appropriate masque follows. For example, in intensive moisturizing, a moisture masque is applied.
Plus, they gave a real good neck and back massage that makes the pampering session even more enjoyable. We chatted throughout the facial session and she was kind enough to clear my doubts and gave  useful advice and tips on how to take care of my skin.  Most of the time I closed my eyes and enjoyd this treatment,so not much photos was taken. Coming to the end of the treatment, they added another layer of hydrating and brightening serum together with moisturiser, toner and sunblock.   Their cleansing and toning series.
The ultrasonic equipment, not those we use in lab har.. Cellnique Intensive Moisturizing Treatment is able to replenish the water content and slow down the skin water loss, by working on both the Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) and the Water Retention Factor (WRF). The masque (Intensive Moisturizing Masque) applied in this treatment helps rehydrate, repair and soften the skin while the serum (Concentrate Moisturizing) provides immediate moisture. The main active ingredients involved includes:  1.  8 amino acid (Serine + glycine + Glutamic acid + Alanine + Lysine + Arginine + Thereonine + L-Proline). amino acids combine with epidermal cells to fill increases, resulting in smoother skin appearance. In deeper layers of the epidermis, amino acids stimulate the build-up of collagen, reduce lines and wrinkles and maintain the continued elasticity of skin. 2. Sodium PCA. It helps retains water and increases the capacity of skin to hold moisture. 3. The most heard of ingredients in locking moisture-Hyaluronic acid. This powerful water binding agent able to absorb and hold water up to 1,000 times which keep skin moist and smooth, giving the skin a youthful appearance. 4. Acerola fruit extract. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, helps in increasing collagen synthesis which not only aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but also helps in the restoring of skin natural radiance. Benefits: Result in smoother, youthful skin appearance Increase the capacity of the skin to hold moisture Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles Restore skin natural radiance
My experience with the results: My skin did become smoother and radiated immediately after the treatment, however, they return to normal after a few days later.
Managed to have a baby soft skin and that 'doink doink' feel you know? Hehe Since I am still considered ''young' aiya, not yet reach mid-20s ma.. I dont have any wrinkles and fine lines yet, so reducing fine lines and wrinkles are not observable on me. However, did have dramatic results in smaller pores (which leads to smoother skin), reduced blackheads and whiteheads
Face might get a little red and swollen because of the extraction but dont worry, they reside in the same day :D Since my skin is like so good before this, so I thought no need go facial every month la, too costly for a student like me. SO I have skipped facials like for half a year before I decided to go for one again. (To ask these experts to cure the serious breakout problems on my forehead). This is like the most serious acnes I have I have never experienced one so terrible like this. This time they say I cannot do the Moisturizing Treatment already (not cannot la, but I need to treat my problem first, then only improve ma) so they recommended me to try the Skin Renewal Treatment. Cellnique’s signature AHA treatment which works to exfoliate accumulation of dead skin cells, unclog pores, improve circulation and aid in the natural process of skin cell regeneration. Process is same like for Moisturizing Treatment described above-cleansing, toning and application of serum/masques. This time, we have like three treatment feature which are: Skin Renewal Gel Complex (Helps reduce wrinkles, impacts on the dermis to aid in the renewal); AHA Neutralizer (Prohibits further peeling action and helps protect against the reproduction of micro organism) and Special Desincristation Lotion (dissolves sebaceous material such as blackheads, pimples and all other types of clogged pores).  Main active ingredients includes: 1. AHA + BHA. Acts as a gentle exfoliant which remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and clogged pores. It also helps re-texture the skin, stimulate cell renewal and works as a natural skin brightener and softener. 2. Chamomile extract + Essential fatty acid + Vitamin E + Lavender extract + Grape seed + Allantoin\ Excellent soothing and repairing properties help reduce redness, soothe and anti sensitizing, repair cell membrane and strengthen intercellular lipid layers and replenish and revitalize skin with various vitamins 3. Red algae extract. Improve skin hydration, tone and smoothness. 4. Ascorbic acid. Assists in promoting a firmer skin texture while providing sustained antioxidant protection for the skin. 5.  Peppermint oil. anti inflammatory and soothing effects. It imparts a cooling sensation and minty scent, providing the skin with clean and refreshing feel. Benefits: Stimulate cell renewal for a healthier skin layer Natural skin brightener and softener Anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, anti microbial Re-texture the skin My experience with the results: Breakouts did improve a little. However, I came out of the saloon looking like a red bomb because of the redness after the extraction. Even after the application of the algae masque. But after a few days, the redness resides and no difference in the acnes. They told me it may have reduced and grow at another side. The beauticians says I have to be very hardworking to go and clear my heads and zits, as my forehead keep producing sebum/oils and clogging my pores. Its like residing and growing at the same time. Thats before I decided to change my whole skincare products. After I have changed the skincare range to Cellnique products, my skin condition gets better, and the acnes stops growing, so I presume the leftover are the scars.  The other areas of the skin improved, more elasticity and better hydration. And I have finally found out who is that culprit that causes the breakouts on my forehead after discontinue using them. Sadly, those are quite well known brands. What I am curious about is that, they wont grow acnes in the first half bottle of application, when I start to dry these bottles up, they appeared. And when acnes grows, continous application only worsens the problem. Take quite a whole lot time to recover. So dont wait for the problems to turn worse, consult ur therapist as soon as symptoms appears. So the lifesaver of my acnes are: 1. stop using products that worsens them 2. use Purifying Masque every night (they help control sebum production, the areas feels not oily after you woke up). Thanks muchie to one beauty guru on YT she made a video stating the worst used products (because they made her breakout halfway too) and coincidentally one of the series I am using. And also thank Cellnique therapist Lily for recommending this masque to me. I am so happy with the results! Generally, my advice dont purchase without trying. Always ask for samples and if you are confident with the results only continue using. Mine special condition cause I already used up half a bottle only acnes starts appearing.
