Opulent: Sensitive Skin Rejuvenation Kit

From

If you have sensitive, easily irritated dry skin, you may want to check out Opulent's Sensitive Skin Rejuvenation Kit. Their kit consists of 4 products: Fortified Cleanser, Serum CF, Ultra Lite Facial Cream and SPF 30 Sunscreen. I found the products to be of good quality, but note that in my opinion these products are for sensitive + dry skin. It was too moisturizing for my sensitive + normal skin.

1. Opulent: Fortified Cleanser

Step one in Opulent's Sensitive Skin Kit is the Fortified Cleanser. Fortified Cleanser is packed with essential vitamins (A, C, E) as well as green tea polyphenols. It has a wonderful citrus scent that is very appealing.

Fortified Cleanser is soap-free and it cleanses and moisturizes your sensitive skin without causing any irritants. I found it very hydrating. You just need to use a small amount of this white creamy cleanser, massage gently and rinse with lukewarm water. Opulent recommends that you use this cleanser both morning and night.

2. Opulent: Serum CF

Step two in Opulent's Sensitive Skin Kit is Serum CF. Serum CF is unique because while it contains green tea which is a potent caffeine additive! Caffeine is known for its anti-aging properties in skin care. It is an anti-oxidant-packed, light brown serum that you apply after cleansing your face. It has no odor and did not irritate my skin.

Just apply a small amount to your skin and let it dry before moving on to step three. I found this product dries very quickly, a plus! The serum's purpose is to nourish skin deep down and will help eliminate fine lines over time. Opulent recommends you use this anti-aging serum both morning and night.

3. Opulent: Elite Facial Cream - Ultra Lite

The third step in Opulent's Sensitive Skin Kit is the Elite Facial Cream - Ultra Lite. After your skin has fully absorbed the Serum CF, apply this lightweight, odorless white cream to your face to seal and moisturize your skin.

Similar to the cleanser, it contains vitamins A, C, E and green tea extract, packed with anti-oxidants. The cream has a nice consistency - not greasy at all. It will assist in minimizing free-radical-induced skin damage, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Note that there is not any sun protection (SPF) in this cream. Opulent recommends you use this cream at least once a day.

4. Opulent: Elite SPF 30 Sunscreen

The final step you will use in Opulent's Sensitive Skin Kit is the Elite SPF 30 Sunscreen. A little goes a long way with this white, odorless sunscreen. Just a dab here and there in the morning will help protect your skin from harmful rays. It contains 17% zinc oxide and is completely oil-free. It is great for sensitive skin and I enjoyed using it. It's nice to see a kit include the ever important sunscreen at the end, though we still would have liked to see SPF added to the moisturizer for ease.

5. Final Thoughts on Opulent Sensitive Skin Kit

When you have sensitive skin, you don't know what is going to set it off. While the facial cleanser had a fragrance, all of the other products in this kit were fragrance-free, which we liked.

As mentioned above however, as a person with highly sensitive skin, but normal in oil-production, this product line was too hydrating for my skin. I would recommend it for those in the dry + sensitive skin type. As great as it is when skin care lines carry a sensitive skin line, I wish they were able to gear it to our skin type's as well.

That said, if you do have dry, sensitive skin, I think you'd like using this kit. It has the four steps you need for anti-aging care and they are easy and quick to use.

Products are available individually or as a kit.
