Kanebo Sensai-Cellular Performance Review
Advanced Recovery Concentrate for Eyes
I am currently having skin issues. My most pressing problem is the skin underneath my eyes. Lately it has been looking dull, dehydrated, dark and dreary. I needed some sleep and cosmetic help.
I have a box of skincare samples that I have been hoarding for no good reason. I decided to dig through the stash to see what gems were in there. I uncovered a treasure chest of Kanebo samples. Kanebo is one of Japan's leading cosmetics manufacturers.
This eye cream gives fresh moisture to the skin surrounding the eye, banishes wrinkles and results in firmer skintone and smoother, more translucent skin. I noticed that skin surrounding my eye looked less swollen and tighter. It had all the effects of Botox but without the pesky needles or medical bill. I loved how rich the cream felt. Like a whipped cream version of La Mer.
Ingredients: They are slightly mysterious and questionable. However they have hooked me. I get distracted by special polymers and outrageous promises. I am sure the Beauty Brains would cringe if they read this.
Apricot Essence Complex: The benefits of this substance, found in the apricot kernel, to epidermal cell renewal are a renowned Kanebo discovery.
Barrier Power Booster: The effect of this component of the vitamin B complex in supporting the skin's own barrier function has recently been discovered by Kanebo.
OH Scavenger: Developed by Kanebo, this outstanding anti-oxidant has the ability to neutralise the damaging hydroxy radical many times more effectively than vitamin C.
Hyaluronate/Collagen Booster: Kanebo's research into restoring skin firmness and moisture resulted in the discovery of this special ingredient that enhances the skin's own hyaluronate content and collagen quality.
Kakyoku Extract: Kanebo's discovery of a heretofore unknown cellular mechanism, and the relevation of the benefits of this Oriental medicinal plant, opened up new possibilities in the prevention of uneven skin tone. (all descriptions from Kanebo International)
Bio-Cell Activator: It is extracted from the spinach beet root and works directly on the individual skin cell's mitochondria.
Natural NAG: A marine protein that dramatically raises the hyaluranic acid level in the epidermis for tangible improvements in resilience and smoothness. Ensures a fresh and intensive hydration effect and firmer skintone.
Yuzu Extract(Chinese lemon): Promotes microcirculation, dispels dullness around the eyes, hydrates the skin to impart youthful luminosity and lightens the areas under the eyes.
Suikazura Extract(Honeysuckle): A moisture metabolism ingredient that reduces puffiness around the eyes.
Pure Pearl Protein
Silk Fibroin: Silk can be transformed into many forms, such as powders, films or gels, but in order to do this the fibroin must first be dissolved in water. Fibroin, however, is not naturally water soluble, so a special treatment is required. Thanks to its long experience with silk spinning processes, Kanebo was the first in the world to develop the technology for dissolving silk in water, which opened silk to a great variety of applications. In 1977, Kanebo succeeded in producing the industry's first silk powder made from aqueous fibroin solution. Using this powder in a compound, Kanebo launched the world's first powder cake that could be used with a sponge. Kanebo now uses silk as a basic component in a wide range of products, from skin care and makeup to hair care. ( Description from Kanebo International)
It is colourant & fragrance free.
I loved the results and plan to make a purchase in the future.

I have to admit, when we get to the ingredients list, my eyes glaze over like my friends' do when I talk about fashion or perfume. But I'm also sad about my undereyes right now. I just don't want to fall in love with something his expensive... Man. It's pricey getting old.
With the state of my eyes being as they were this morning, I'm getting more and more tempted to throw down lots of cash in the hopes that something will improve their appearance, but jeez! Kanebo products are always so much more expensive than I could ever afford. Their formulations though, are always enticing!
I've looked around for Kanebo without success, and their store locator doesn't work. Does anyone know where in California you can buy their products? You'd think in LA I'd be able to find them somewhere! This product sounds like exactly what I'm looking for to fix my undereye problem as well.
The ingredient's list is beautifully written but without scientific data.
Sorry, but Kanebo won't be getting a dime of my money.
There is in the market place many good eye creams with spf that will work just as well.
Kanebo brand is expensive.
I think is a good brand , the only bad part is that it will be a yearly expense.
The bottle will last a year.
I think is best to try different creams until one finds the one that feels right. But again the night eye cream does not need spf.
Would i buy Kanebo ? i have , is a great eye cream but i do not feel that i can not live without it. , i can find other eye creams that are just as good for less money.
But dark sunglasses are a must to protect the eyes and the area around the eyes.( i wish i had used my sunglasses more often).
