Last year, Cellnique sent me a product for an exchange for a survey. I'm at the last drop of this product and thought I would review it.

Product Review: Cellnique Intensive Hydrating Complex

Where to purchase: cellnique.com
Price: $61 for 1 fl oz/ 30 mL

Made in Singapore

Description from the back: A lightweight, smooth texture formulation with high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid and Essential Amino Acids to bind moisture in the dermal connective tissue and to restore elasticity of the skin. It thereby minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and helps delivery an instant supple and smooth skin.
Ingredients:
Thoughts: I've used Cellnique products in the past and had decent results. For that reason, I was excited to try this product. When it comes to packaging, it's the same with all Cellnique products. It's very classical, as well as, sanitary safe.
It comes in a pump. It's also good to know that air does not circulate within the product changing the serum chemistry. I apologize for the background of the first and above picture. I took the pictures before I started using the product. Now I try to take pictures with a white background so the focus is on the product not the background.
Here's a picture of the serum on my hand. It's a clear product.

When it comes to the scent, it has a slight smell. I'm not too sure what the smell is, but it's very light and refreshing. It reminds me of spring/summer weather. The smell only lasts for a few seconds so it's not noticeable. To be honest, I never realized it has a scent until I smelled it.

Now for my overall opinion... On the back of the box, it says to use 6 drops for the face. I'm not too sure but from what I can see on the reviews on the website, it used to have a dropper. I'm guessing the older version came that way. Again, I'm not 100% sure. When I used this product, I actually patted it on my face. As soon as you apply it on your face, it's cooling and slight sticky. The stickiness disappears within seconds and sinks into your skin. I noticed when my skin is drier than usual, I would need more of the product. The main concept of this product is to keep skin moist and smooth. It definitely helped my skin with hydration, but I needed more than the serum during my winter weather. Right after I applied the serum, I used a moisturizer. My skin was smoother for sure and needed less moisturizer than I would have without the serum. Since it keeps the skin hydrated, it's suppose to improve your imperfections. It definitely did not improve my fine lines and wrinkles. Then again, it didn't get worst.

Pros:
* Comes in a pump; sanitary safe.
* Hyaluronic Acid & Essential Amino Acids.
* Not noticeable scent.
* Sinks into skin.
* Hydrates.
* Does not worsen fine lines and wrinkles.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Cannot test out before purchasing.
* Does not improve fine lines and wrinkles.

Would repurchase: Maybe.
