Skincode Switzerland Essentials 24h Cell Energizer Cream

This was one of those revelations which weren't expected at all but have turned my skincare routine upside down. I usually use my Vichy Normaderm All in One cream (the one with an extremely long name) as a night cream and I alternate it with my grapeseed oil. I though that it was a very nice night routine to follow and it truly was. Until I've tried this cream. I've actually mentioned on the Facebook page that I was using only three new products for my face for a week. It was a tough call in the beginning but later on, I've adjusted the aforementioned routine, mixed it up with my HG products and voilà! My skin has been reborn and prepped for the upcoming winter. Bring it on cold and wind – I'm perfectly prepared. Enter the Skincode Switzerland Essentials 24h Cell Energizer Cream*. So, to explain things a bit I'll tell you this – I've used this 24h Cell Energizer Cream* along with the Skincode micellar water and a face mask for a week + something to wash my face. Nothing else besides these three products + La Roche-Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel Cleanser has touched my face for entire seven days. The way I used this cream is that I've washed my face with my foaming cleanser by La Roche-Posay (you can always use your preferred cleansing method), cleansed my face with the micellar water and then applied the 24h Cell Energizer Cream*. In the morning, I just “washed” my face with water and put nothing on until evening. That's right, you've read it correctly – morning cleanse was just water and no cream. Whatsoever. I have managed to maintain this skincare regime for a week exactly and then I've tweaked it. Oh, the reason why I was doing this for a week was because I was told that I'll see the results in seven days. Extremely ambitious, I thought to myself. I honestly was extremely sceptical about this promise. I ate my own thoughts and washed my doubtful mouth with soap.

Ovo je bilo jedno od onih otkrica koje uopste nije bilo ocekivano, niti iscekivano na bilo koji nacin ali mi je potpuno izmijenilo njegu koze. Obicno koristim svoju Vichy Normaderm kremicu (onu sa dugim nazivom) kao nocnu kremu ili se koristim svojim uljem sjemenki grozdja. Na tome sam ostala posto mi se ova rutina pokazala kao odgovarajucom. Sve dok nisam isprobala ovu kremu. Ako se sjecate, spomenula sam i na Facebook stranici da sprovodim testiranje u kojem tokom sedam dana koristim samo tri nova proizvoda za njegu. Na pocetku je bilo tesko prilagoditi se na spomenutu njegu ali kasnije sam je sebi prilagodila, ukombinovala sa svojim HG proizvodima i voilà! Koza mi je preporodjena i pripremljena za nadolazecu zimu. Samo navalite, izazivam hladni zrak i niske temperature – ja sam spremna! Rijec je o Skincode Switzerland Essentials 24h Cell Energizer kremi za lice*. I imam jedno iznenadjenje spremno sutra za vas ovdje na blogu zato – pratite desavanja na blogu! Kako bih objasnila o cemu je ovdje tacno rijec, radi se o slijedecem – koristila sam Skincode Switzerland Essentials 24h Cell Energizer kremu za lice zajedno sa Skincode micelarnom vodom za ciscenje i maskom za lice citavih sedam dana + nesto za umivanje lica. Znaci, nista osim ova tri proizvoda + La Roche-Posay Effaclar pjenusavi gel za umivanje mi nije dotaklo lice sedam dana. Nacin na koji sam koristila ovu kremu jeste da sam navecer, nakon umivanja LRP pjenusavim gelom (vi uvijek mozete koristiti cistac po svojoj mjeri), potom ocistila lice micelarnom vodom i onda bih nanijela 24h Cell Energizer kremu*. Ujutro bih “ocistila” lice samo vodom i ne bih nanosila niti jednu kremu, sve do navecer kada bih zapocinjala sve ispocetka. Da, ispravno ste procitale – jutarnje ciscenje je bila voda i nisam koristila nikakvu kremu preko dana. Uspjela sam da se ovog rezima njege pridrzavam tacno sedam dana a nakon toga sam unijela neke izmjene. I da, razlog zbog kojeg sam sedam dana lice njegovala na navedeni nacin jeste zato sto mi je receno da cu bukvalno za to vrijeme uvidjeti razliku u stanju koze. Preambiciozno, pomislila sam. Iskreno, bila sam vise nego skepticna. Na kraju sam pojela vlastite misli i oprala svoja sumnjicava usta sapunom.

I will tell you a little something about Skincode. Remember the cult brand La Prairie? The same people who founded La Prairie have founded Skincode as well. Russian prince Massalsky line seems to, simply put, be a descending line from the legendary Rurik. For all those who don't know, Rurik is considered to have founded the first Russian monarchy. I was pretty astounded to find out all this info. First there's this founder of the Russian state, than there's La Prairie which is the ultimate luxury brand and here comes the next big, surprising piece of the puzzle. After La Prairie turned out to be a massive success (duh), this amazing prince Michael Massalsky along with his son Niclas has decided to create yet another high quality skincare range in Switzerland. In 1998. the Massalsky heirs, together with the greatest dermatologist from Switzerland, have created SKINCODE – a fabulous skincare range which features more affordable prices. Good thing that they did. This stuff is pure gold. Their products are hypoallergenic and contain CM Glucan which is a natural polysaccharide which helps restore skin's defense mechanism, renews the balance of the skin and protects it from premature aging.

Reci cu vam nesto o Skincode-u. Sjecate li se brenda La Prairie? Isti ljudi koji su osnovali La Prairie su osnovali i Skincode. Radi se o Massalsky lozi. Ruski princevi Massalsky porijeklo vuku od velikog kneza Sv. Nikole Cernigova iz 13. stoljeca, koji je bio direktan potomak po muskoj liniji legendarnog Rurika, osnivaca Rusije 867. godine. Zar nisu ovo fascinantni podaci? Nakon velikog svjetskog uspjeha kozmetike La Prairie, koju su osmislili, lansirali i svojedobno prodali “Beiersdorfu”, princ Michael Massalsky i njegov sin princ Niclas, koji je danas nastanjen u Zürichu, godine 1998. u Svicarskoj su, zajedno s najboljim svicarskim dermatologom prof. Brunom Renaldijem, pokrenuli visokokvalitetnu liniju SKINCODE koja je, za razliku od njihove cuvene linije La Prairie, cijenom dostupnija sirem broju kupaca. Dobra stvar pa jesu jer ovi proizvodi su cisto zlato. Takodjer su hipoalergeni i sadrze CM Glucan koji je prirodni polisaharid. On potice i pospjesuje obnovu prirodnog obrambenog mehanizma koze te obnavlja ravnotezu kozne barijere time stiteci je od preranog starenja.

I've actually noticed significant difference in my skin texture and quality withing the first week of use. 24h Cell Energizer Cream* is a velvety, rich moisturizer which stimulates the cell renewal process and skin defense mechanism, while intensively hydrating and smoothing away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 24 hours a day. It's made for normal and dry skin and as you know, my skin is combination with pronounced dehydration during winter. This has literally “Selma” written all over it! And I had no idea, I mean how could I? This brand has just recently appeared in Bosnia and if I hadn't tried their products myself – who knows whether they'd ever come under my radar? Just look at the luxurious glass jar. It looks very professional and expensive. Design is minimalistic, which is completely something I usually go for. It looks clean and like it arrived from a pharmacy. You get 50ml of this cream and due to its rich texture, it will most definitely last for a long time. I loved the fact that it comes with a protective seal which sits beneath the jar lid. It all looks very much hygienic and that's the approach I prefer when my face is in question.

Ja konkretno jesam primijetila prilicnu razliku u teksturi i kvaliteti vlastite koze tokom te prve sedmice koristenja. Tada je napredak najprimjetniji a kasnije se efekti samo odrzavaju. 24h Cell Energizer krema* je barsunasta, bogata krema koja je zamisljena kao stimulator obnavljanja celija i odbrambenog sistema koze dok istovremeno, intenzivno hidratizira i zagladjuje prethodno stanje blagih borica tokom 24 sata koliko djeluje. Namijenjena je normalnoj i suhoj kozi a kako znate, moja koza je mjesovita s time da je tokom hladnijih mjeseci izrazajno dehidrirana. Preko ove kreme je ispisano moje ime – toliko mi odgovara! A uopste nisam imala pojma, nisam znala nista o njoj a i kako bi? Skincode se kao brend tek nedavno pojavio u BiH. A da nisam imala priliku isprobati ove proizvode – tko zna da li bih ih sama uopste otkrila? Pogledajte samo luksuzno pakovanje ove kreme. Djeluje profesionalno i skupocjeno. Dizajn je minimalistican sto je nesto potpuno po mom ukusu. Djeluje cisto i skoro kao da je upravo dostavljena iz apoteke. Dobijete 50ml kreme i ovo pakovanje zbog bogate teksture ce sigurno da potraje jako dugo vremena. Fantasticno mi je sto se na otvoru nalazi zastitna barijera, tik ispod poklopca staklenke. Time vise je pakovanje higijensko a takav pristup svakako preferiram,. Posebno kada je proizvod za lice u pitanju.

This is a white colored cream which acts like a heavy-duty moisturizer yet the texture is so light and refreshing. It feels like the skin's been replenished with water itself. It's very pleasant, very creamy and it's a dream to blend into the skin. It isn't oily and that is quite a pleasant surprise given that it's intended for dry skin. Most creams for dry skin make me break out and give me an oily appearance but not this one. It's so velvety and smooth that it sinks into the skin in a matter of seconds. Skin does feel very nourished and very plump after application and even the day after. The part about this cream working for 24 hours was a bit confusing at first. You know, I have my skincare routine worked out and it works for me. I was worried that this cream wouldn't fit into my skincare. But it has. After using it as instructed for the first week, I've decided to switch things a little. And I have noticed a difference within that first week, I'll tell you about it a bit later. I've continued to use this cream as a night cream and as such – it is perfection. My dehydrated skin looks normal and has an even healthy color to it. Usually, during this time of the year, my skin gets really dull. It becomes gray-ish and that doesn't look appealing. Now it's like something I've craved for all these years. It's bloody amazing, that is.

Ova krema bijele boje se ponasa kao koncentriran proizvod, pruzajuci jaku hidrataciju a opet – tekstura je iznimno lagana i osvjezavajuca. Doslovno, kao da sam se umila vodom. Jako je ugodna, kremasta i prijatno je nanositi i masirati u kozu. Nije masna, sto mi je ugodno iznenadjenje, posebno zato sto je namijenjena za suhu kozu. Vecina krema za suhu kozu mi izazove sitne bubuljice i pojaca sjaj T-zone ali ova krema nije. Barsunasta je i glatka te se upija u kozu u roku par sekundi od nanosenja. Koza je jako podatna i nahranjena odmah nakon koristenja pa cak se ta mekoca osjeti i dan kasnije. Dio o tome da djeluje 24 sata mi je na pocetku bio zbunjujuci ali zaista se osjeti kao “prekovremeno” omeksava kozu. Brinula sam se i da li ce se moci uklopiti u vec pomno odabranu njegu koju sam sebi kreirala za lice. Uspjela se fantasticno uklopiti i doprinijeti cjelokupnom poboljsanju tena. Nakon pocetnih sedam dana, rezultate sam vidjela u vidu toga da mi koza nema sivkast ton. Taj ton mi se u ovo doba godine pojavi zbog dehidratacije i tretiranja bubuljica tj. njihove preventive. Uz ovu kremu uopste nije doslo do isusivanja i koza uopste ne gubi zdravu boju. Cak djeluje zdravije i prokrvljenije nego inace. Upravo ono sto sam zeljela svih ovih godina.

I love how it doesn't interfere with my Effaclar Duo which I alternate with the Anew E-Defense cream I reviewed recently. Those two are my current day creams and the 24h Cell Energizer Cream* is my night cream. It's okay to change the way you use it because everyone's skin is different and has different needs. Just don't mix it with another similar product. My skin loves this baby during the night when it gets the most out of it. Skin is so gentle and smooth and I'm really impressed. I will tell you more about the micellar water and the face mask in one of my next reviews so keep an eye on those. Have you tried any Skincode skin products?

Odlicno mi je sto Effaclar Duo ne smeta njoj, i obratno. Kao dnevne kreme naizmjenicno, po potrebi, koristim ili Effaclar Duo ili nedavno recenziranu Anew E-Defense kremu dok je 24h Cell Energizer krema* moja nocna kremica. Sasvim je uredu prilagoditi koristenje sebi jer niti jedna koza nije identicna i svaka koza ima neke svoje specificne potrebe. Moja koza na ovu kremu najbolje reaguje kada je koristim pred spavanje jer tada izvuce najvise iz nje. Ne mogu nista lose reci, zaista sam impresionirana. Nesto vise cu vam reci o micelarnoj vodi i maski za lice u slijedecim recenzijama tako da, obratite paznju na njih. Ova krema kosta 69,90KM sto prelazi srednji rang ali je jos uvijek dostupna. Za razliku od La Prairie ciji su proizvodi daleko, daleko skuplji.  Ispod cu vam ostaviti spisak apoteka u BiH koje drze Skincode proizvode, cisto da znate gdje ih potraziti ako sam vas zainteresovala. I nemojte zaboraviti sutra svratiti na blog. Kako sam na pocetku spomenula – imam jedno krasno iznenadjenje spremno za svoje citateljke!
