My friend and highschool batchmate is a USANA member and gave me samples of one of their skin care line product- Sense Beautiful Science. She gave them for free for me to try it out and make a review about it. Below are the set of products sample packs I received.
She gave me 3 packs of the sample sets.
Each of the sample pack contains a manual instruction insert and 5 sachets of each of the basic sets of the product line. First from the top Gentle Daily Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, Daytime Protective Emulsion, Perfecting Essence and Eye Nourisher. Each sachet contains 2ml.
A closer look.
Below are the bottle photos and descriptions I took from their site.

How I used it and what can I say about this products?
Gentle Daily Cleanser:
This goes to Step 1. Cleansing. I squeeze out a small amount onto the tips of my fingers and apply them on a wet face. I rub it in a circular motion concentrating on the corners of my nose and around the mouth. I do this in about 60 seconds or more and rinse with water. This cleanser has a thick consistency with sort of a silky pearly white color. It doesn't lather but runs so smoothly on the face removing mainly oily dirts. I noticed that it doesn't really remove eye make completely so you will need to use a makeup remover prior to using this. But right after I used it, I felt my skin instantly become soft and smooth, which I loved about it. Just that it doesn't totally remove all the dirt. I think it mainly moisturizes and softens the skin.
Hydrating Toner:
After the cleanser, I used the toner next. I place a generous amount on to a cotton ball just enough to dampen it not soak it dripping. Then I use it on my face same in a circular motion. This toner is also good. It is thicker and smoother than our usual commercial toners. It is alcohol free and I think from the feel of it, I can say it has a high percentage of moisturizer. It removes left over dirt the cleanser did not remove. Smells good, too.
The cotton ball after use. Stubborn dirt the cleanser was not able to remove.
Daytime Protective Emulsion:
After cleansing and toning, I use the Daytime Protection Emulsion in the morning. It also has a thick consistency. It serves as a moisturizer after the cleansing stripped off the moisture from my skin. It also has SPF (which I can't tell as I already threw away the package). I felt my skin become softer, smoother and refreshed after applying this.
Perfecting Essence:
On top of the Emulsion, I apply this Perfecting Essence lotion. According to my friend, this is the heart, brain, core or diamond of the set. It has everything that makes the skin look healthy, glowing and radiant. And I believe her. I observed that when I started using this, my skin in photos has a nice glowing effect. Also, I had lesser white and black heads and tiny pimples. Moreover, it served as an excellent primer. After applying this Perfecting Essence, foundation application is so smooth and easier to blend!
Eye Nourisher:
Lastly, the eye nourisher is applied under the eyes. For this product, I don't know, I have not observed much changes or effects on me or maybe I wasn't just observant enough on the eyes. Ehe, as I really focused on the skin mainly.
I consumed the 3 packs of the sample sets in about 4-5 weeks. There were times I skipped using the products because either I was busy, went straight to bed or in a hurry or I forgot about it. But, I still saw some changes and effects even if I was not using it religiously.
As a conclusion, I liked this product. Just with the first time use, you will feel and see a difference. I was also surprised when I completely stopped using it because I consumed it all, my white and blackheads and tiny pimples started appearing again. I think it meant that a continuous use of the Sense Skin Care System is a must to maintain healthy beautiful skin. I liked it, really.
But why did I not use it again or purchased it? Now that's the downside of it. With all the glowing, radiant and healthy skin it provides, it takes much of your savings! Below is the pricelist:
Retail Price
Gentle Daily Cleanser 120ml 1250 Php
Hydrating Toner 120ml 1100 Php
Daytime Protective Emulsion 38ml 2200 Php
Night Renewal Cream 38ml 1900 Php
Perfecting Essence 30ml 2350 Php
Eye Nourisher 12ml 1295 Php
Sense Facial Care Sample Pack 100 Php
Basic Set (Eye Nourisher not included) 8800 Php
If only I was earning that much then I would be investing on this fantastic skin care system. But, if you have the means, why not.

ReplyDeleteby the way I just followed you. Mind to follow back?>

Thanks Keeza, just followed back.. =) USANA sure is a good product, however, I won't go with the price.. hehe
DeleteI chose USANA because it was so affordable compared to their competition not to mention the science behind it and the clinical trials. From what I know you did not use the products in the correct order and that does make a big difference....daytime protective is the last product. I did enjoy your post, read it to the end which I normally do not.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading.
DeleteUSANA is the best of the best, you will not go wrong with it. And it worth even the last penny,so price is not a big issue when it comes to good health. I just finished my seminar about Sense and i learned so much! Each one of the Sense line is very important, especially the exfoliate rice bran and the masque, and by using the right hand position, it will go perfect! When applying toner or cleanser, the 5 fingers are needed, in short, they call it "the 5 palm"... and before applying the daytime emulsion/nightime renewal cream, you should apply perfecting essence first, the reason why is because perfecting essence serves as base as it it called the heart of the line, and it is very good for those who have very sensitive skin. There are also 2 ways to use the toner: When you spent whole day outside, use cotton ball, but when you're just indoor whole day, just use your hands, using what they call "5 palm"..
ReplyDeleteyep, I agree. Usana is the best with all the science and technology behind it. However, for the common people who want to keep their skin healthy, however, would still prioritize basic needs over beauty stuffs, the price may be impractical considering the economical crisis many are experiencing. It is best recommended for those who can afford it and don't mind the price. Thanks for reading. =)
Deletecompare to other known and commercialized beauty products, USANA is better. No chemicals/preservatives and much cheaper. If you will really check the products/ingredients of all the things you buy.
ReplyDeleteConsidering brands like lancome, clarins, clinique and so on; Usana is way much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteCan be used for six months so its kinda cheap..
ReplyDeleteI used to use Belo products but after I found this line, I totally switched. Usana is waaay cheaper compared to Belo. My mom uses Clarins for her face, but after she's finished with her stock she said she's switching as well! Not only did Sense really showed results, it's way more affordable or sulit. I've used the essence and daytime cream for 2 months, still have more than half left. Very sulit. Not to mention, it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals. Big thumbs up!
