AD – Sponsored | “BOTANICSENS” kindly gifted me their skincare in exchange for an authentic review.

 

In today's post on “Repairing Skin Barrier with BOTANICSENS“, I'm going to talk about BOTANICSENS face body lotion you could use if you have a very busy lifestyle and routine to manage using separate products for face and body. Whether you stay outdoors, have more exposure to sun and pollution, or have a lot of cleaning and washing chores to do, you could use this one lotion for face and body in a go, and get on with your day. Give BOTANICSENS Ph.D ATO Formula Intense Defense All-In-One Lotion a try.

For reference, I have dry to very dry, sensitive, and acne prone skin. But I'm reviewing a product that caters all skin types and ages.

THE BRAND “BOTANICSENS”

BOTANICSENS is a Korean derma cosmetics brand established in 2017 upon discovering that plant fragrances including citrus fruits not only appeal to our senses, but play a significant role in human health. BOTANICSENS founder discovered during 40 years of scientific research at TSPARK Lab, Yonsei University that plant-based fragrance compounds help to protect skin health from stresses and environmental factors. 

BOTANICSENS, the Korean skincare brand uses these aromatic compounds and natural ingredients backed by science in formulating innovative skincare and hair care to help restore skin's innate strength to return it to its original state, giving a resilient skin. In essence, BOTANICSENS means "the botanic scent to boost your skin".

BOTANICSENS is a clean beauty brand, vegan skincare and hair care, hypoallergenic, and uses EWG Green Grade ingredients. The cruelty free skin care has also won awards on a few of their products.

BOTANICSENS has two patent ingredients, "Undecane" and "Ionone". "Undecane" for skin is a citrus scent compound derived from citrus fruits having anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory properties. Undecane in skin care helps to improve skin hydration and texture, increases moisture level, and heals damaged barrier. Undecane has a very small molecular size 156 DA that easily absorbs in the dermis layer of the skin.

Korean clean beauty brand BOTANICSENS offers skincare and hair care range. Today's review is about the key ingredient highlight, the Undecane, which BOTANICSENS has used in their Skin Barrier line. From the line, I will be reviewing one of their bestsellers and an award winner - the "BOTANICSENS Undecane All-in-One Lotion" for you.

BOTANICSENS PH.D ATO FORMULA INTENSE DEFENSE ALL-IN-ONE LOTION REVIEW

According to the research on botanical fragrances, it benefits skin making it healthy and resilient. Although there haven't been much studies on the topic but as it is with probiotics for skin, more studies are required to validate their effectiveness on skin health.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - BOTANICSENS Undecane All-In-One Lotion:

Day 1 – I applied BOTANICSENS Undecane All-In-One Lotion on face and body. The thin consistency instantly absorbed in the skin as BOTANICSENS promises without leaving residue. Skin looked as if no product were applied on it but on touch it felt elastic, soft and didn’t crease from dryness. It soothed my skin and stopped the itch. It didn't sting my eyes at all. The lotion felt very gentle and pure on the skin.

From over-washing and cleaning due to my very tough and busy current lifestyle, the skin around my hands and wrists were in their worst state than they have ever been in my entire life. My skin got extremely coarse that I stopped shaking hands with people. It turned from dryness to itchiness with very visible bruises. I also got tiny cuts on hands and wrists that started to bleed. It got stressful because I thought this could become a permanent issue. After receiving BOTANICSENS lotion I thought to do a before and after fifteen days of using it to see if it gave any result. I’ll talk about that in a bit.

BOTANICSENS lotion has a hint of a natural zesty scent that does not linger.

BOTANICSENS all in one lotion is layerable. The texture allows it to be worn in all seasons and weather conditions, day in and out, and morning and evening skin routines.

BOTANICSENS Undecane lotion retails at $49.99. The high price tag is mainly because of supply chain factor. Production of their two patent ingredients, Undecane and Ionone is limited and exclusive to BOTANICSENS.

The only reservation I have with BOTANICSENS face body lotion is its packaging. Its pump is slightly bigger in proportion to the rest of the body. The pump deposits more product than one might need. I personally like body lotions that either have a cap or a smaller pump. I would like to suggest BOTANICSENS to give another thought to its pump.

PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS - BOTANICSENS Undecane All-In-One Lotion, Before and After 15 Days:

Initially, BOTANICSENS Undecane lotion doesn’t feel anything extraordinary, but with daily use it becomes apparent that its function is not only in providing hydration, it is more. As days went by, the skin around my hands and wrists started to give a glow and became extremely smooth and soft.

BOTANICSENS resilience lotion has a different feel on the face than the body. On the face it feels more emollient. The texture glides and a little bit goes a long way. The lotion has a right blend of moisture and hydration for the face. Although I usually prefer a more intensive texture for extra moisture on body, I would suggest using it right after shower or washing hands for maximum result.

Day 6 – Bruises and cuts almost healed, but discoloration remained.

Day 12 onward – My hands remained soft and glowy from using it only once a day. Discoloration around the affected skin had already begun to fade. My hands started giving a shine, an inner radiant glow even when I didn’t use the lotion. To date, I have not experienced this with another face moisturizer or body lotion.

Day 15 – I almost couldn't detect discoloration. The lotion had healed the damaged barrier, bruises and cuts, and brightened my skin tone. I am no longer stressing over having the once coarse and bruised hands.

I had a similar experience with the face. Although I didn't have a related issue on the face, but the lotion did not break me out. I found it to be very gentle. BOTANICSENS All-In-One Lotion gave lasting hydration and retained moisture. It kept my face hydrated for as long as the next wash without needing to layer more or making it look greasy. I notice my skin has started to give a natural glow. It has become very soft and looks radiant all the time. Upon touch, I can feel my skin has an elastic bounce to it.

I have not had such an experience with other K-beauty best moisturizers for face or body lotions that I have used. Although its high price is a supply chain factor and may prevent some customers from buying it, it justifies how the product performs in the long run. For me, BOTANICSENS Undecane All-in-One Lotion did an excellent job! I am so happy to say I am highly satisfied with it.
