  Luxury in a bottle

  I got to try Sensai Dual Essence. An elixir that is a mix of oil and serum with the idea of calming the skin, softening the skin, providing moisture, and reducing wrinkles. Can be applied in several different ways and should suit all skin types. A little about me before I dive into my opinions on the product! I have a normal to dry skin type that is sensitive and easily gets clogged. I have often struggled with oil on my face as I have gotten many clogged pores from it. My opinion on Dual Essence is as follows: ◾️ Incredibly economical product that will last a long time! ◾️ Does not leave an oily feeling on the skin ◾️ I think it works best when you mix 2-3 drops into your night cream or use it on its own as the last step in your skincare routine, especially now in winter ◾️ Luxurious packaging in feel and appearance ◾️ No particular scent that bothers ◾️ Gives a nice glow ◾️ Works well to mix into foundation as Sensai suggests for a wonderful radiance ◾️ Can be used for hair and cuticles, but it feels a bit wasteful when the product is so expensive? Well, for me, this is only used on the face, and any leftover product can be massaged into the hands ◾️ Absolutely an expensive product, but a really luxurious gift for yourself or someone you care about In summary, an expensive but luxurious product. I haven't seen any immediate reduction in wrinkles, but I definitely get a nice glow and wake up with soft skin in the morning. I also haven't had any issues with clogged pores, which is a big plus! I can highly recommend it as a luxurious gift for yourself or someone you care about. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SENSAI

  Luxurious product - worth the price?

  First of all: I have been a big fan of pure squalane oil from another brand for probably ten years now. I use squalane on the eye area, on the rest of my face after serum and moisturizer, in the lengths of my hair, and on dry cuticles. Squalane is a so-called stable oil that does not oxidize easily, and it should be able to penetrate quite well into the skin compared to oil from e.g. rosemary and olive tree 🌿 In Dual Essence from Sensai, there is fortunately a portion of squalane, how much is uncertain, but it is at least first on the ingredient list. Unfortunately, olive oil has also snuck into the serum. A Google search shows that olive oil is not particularly stable and should be stored cool in a light-tight container to increase shelf life (the latter also applies to squalane). This bottle is made of uncolored glass, so that should be taken into account. Olive oil is also not a first choice for use on my face - there are simply better ingredients, like the mentioned squalane. Otherwise, on the ingredient list, we unfortunately also find other less friendly ingredients (that maybe not everyone can tolerate either) - linalool, dimethicone, perfume, alcohol, and various plant extracts. Several of these are known allergens, and alcohol is directly drying 😩 It goes a bit against the product's purpose, to provide lots of moisture! The perfume, however, gives the product that little extra in its own way - it smells like an exclusive spa, and I can somewhat like that! Just not on my face, and definitely not at night 🙈 The perfume would have been lovely in a shower gel, for example 💕 I have therefore used Sensai Dual Essence occasionally on my face during the day to get a bit of variation in products, and in the lengths of my hair. That way, I get the nice scent in a suitable amount and don’t have to think too much about whether I will react to any of the ingredients. The glow it gives is also nice, I guess dimethicone contributes a bit there. The serum also provides a nice base for face makeup 💃🏻 It is written about the ingredient koishimaru silk royal, which Google tells me is a type of silkworm that spins particularly thin silk threads. Uncertain what this does for the skin? 🤔 In my world, anti-aging products are typically exfoliating and thus renewing, like e.g. retinol and various acids. The price is also something quite unique for me 🙈 It is nice to treat oneself to something extra beautiful from time to time, but for me, function is most important when it comes to skincare and cosmetics in general 🥵‍♀️ Here I don’t quite see what makes this serum worth the money. Because in my opinion, you can get good results from products that cost a tenth of the price or less 🙏🏻 #sensai #sensaidualessence #lykoinflutester

  Sensai Dual Essence

  I have tested the Sensai Dual Essence. This is a two-phase elixir that combines serum and oil. It is supposed to give glow, nourishment, and moisture to the skin. It should also reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as soothe the skin. The oils consist of olive, peppermint, and squalane, and 25% essence. I have a combination to dry skin type, which gets a bit extra dry during the fall and winter. I have tested this both during the day and at night, but I prefer to use it in the evening, as it sits a bit on the skin which can interfere with makeup during the day. It comes in a lovely glass bottle with a screw cap, and you have to pour out the product. I would have preferred if this came in a pump or dropper, as it is a bit difficult to control how much product comes out. It has a mild and somewhat spa-like, fresh scent. My skin can react to perfume in skincare, but that is not the case with this. I have applied this under my night cream, and I wake up in the morning with well-moisturized skin with a lot of glow. I have not seen any reduction in fine lines, but I have only used it for a couple of weeks, so I am excited for what comes next. I can absolutely recommend this essence, the only downside is the high price tag. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #SENSAI
