Dealing with sensitive skin and aging can be a tricky combination. As someone who is 48 years old, I have experienced firsthand how my already reactive skin has become drier and duller over time. I have started noticing changes in texture and firmness that were not present a few years ago. While I still desire hydration, firmness, bounce, and glow from my skincare routine, my skin’s needs have become more pronounced.
In the past three months, I decided to switch out my daily moisturizer for the newly launched Ultra Sensitive Cream ($265) by Cellcosmet. This Swiss brand product surprised me with its light texture, yet it provided enough moisture for my dry skin. The fragrance-free formula absorbed well into my skin without causing any irritation, which can sometimes happen when trying new products. Over time, I noticed that my skin appeared less depleted, felt softer and more comfortable, and regained a healthy glow, reducing the dullness I had been struggling with.
According to the brand, a 28-day clinical study revealed an 11.2% increase in hydration, a 17.1% decrease in transepidermal water loss, a 6.5% reduction in redness, a 4.9% improvement in elasticity, and a 4.2% enhancement in firmness.
A New Take on a Classic
Cellcosmet’s beloved Ultra Vital cream is known for its richness and luxury, catering to skin in need of intense moisture. The Ultra Sensitive Cream builds upon the same cellular approach, incorporating CytoPep, a proprietary blend of peptides, proteins, and amino acids by the Swiss brand, known to support hydration, elasticity, and the skin barrier.
What sets this cream apart is its combination of CytoPep with ceramides, cholesterol, and phytosphingosine, which are lipids that aid in supporting the skin barrier and preventing moisture loss. Hyaluronic acid attracts water, while oat oil softens dry skin and allantoin soothes it. The formula also includes ophiopogon japonicus root extract, aimed at enhancing hydration and the skin’s microbiome. By addressing both dryness and sensitivity, as well as texture and elasticity concerns, this cream caters to a wide range of skincare needs.
The Bottom Line
What impresses me about this cream is that I no longer have to compromise between maintaining skin comfort and achieving a desirable appearance. The results speak for themselves, with a softer feel and a healthier glow that have kept me loyal to this product.
While everyone’s skin is unique, after using this cream for three months, I have not felt the need to go back to my old moisturizer. Given the particular needs of my skin, this speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the Ultra Sensitive Cream.
