Although the brand has a long history, Helena launched a cream that is relatively "young". In 2014, Helena cooperated with Laclinic-Montreux, a Swiss beauty organization, to launch the "Intervention Skincare" series, among which "Rejuvenating Repair and Soothing Cream" and "Essence Repair and Moisturizing Night Cream" are Helena's flagship products, focusing on repair and anti-aging. Unlike other creams, which go it alone, these two creams are more suitable for a two-pronged approach – a soothing cream for the day and a night cream for the night, and the combination of the two is very effective, and the packaging is also white and black. Because it is said to have a strong healing effect, it is called "white bandage" for day cream and "black bandage" for night cream.
 
Both black and white bandages contain a high concentration of Pro-Xylane, with black bandages containing more than 30%. Bosein, L'Oréal's patented ingredient, stimulates the production of a gel network of extracellular matrix, accelerates the circadian rhythm of skin cells, maintains skin hydration, increases skin firmness and strengthens the production of elastane fibers, thus promoting the combination of epidermis and dermis, improving the skin's tactile feel and restoring firmness. Bosein is combined with bilberry extract with both antioxidant and anti-glycation capabilities, its anti-aging effect is like a tiger, and the skin immunity is also enhanced.
 
In addition, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, hyaluronic acid and other ingredients are also the main ingredients in black bandages, which are effective in anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and swelling for the skin, and play a soothing and moisturizing effect. As a restorative and anti-aging cream, the black bandage has a creamy and rich texture with a certain occlusive properties, and the heavy cream covers the face like a protective umbrella, which is very helpful for skin with a damaged barrier. In order to avoid difficult to push on the upper face, it is best to emulsify the upper face or use essence as a base. Although the paste is thick, it quickly takes on a matte texture on the upper face, and the skin feels velvety and silky, which is the opposite of the Japanese gloss.
 
As a restorative cream, compared to La Mer's miracle cream, black bandages are superior in anti-aging. The miracle cream delivers metal ions to the wound to speed up repair, while the black bandage does not contain metal ions, so in terms of repair power, the black bandage is slightly inferior.
 
Unlike black bandages, which focus on repairing and anti-aging, white bandages are better at antioxidant and anti-allergy, and have a soothing effect, so they are slightly weaker in terms of fame. In addition to bosein, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate and hyaluronic acid, the white bandage is given up to bilberry and uses various ceramides, centella asiatica, panthenol and other repair ingredients. In terms of repair power, black and white bandages are evenly matched, but it should be pointed out that white bandages contain a large amount of ethanol, which is recommended for users with acne-sensitive skin to take a detour, while black bandages do not pick the skin, and can be used on all skin types on the premise of mature skin.
 
The moisture-locking and moisturizing power of the white bandage is enough to be competent for any season, and the cream-like texture is clearer than the black bandage, smooth and easy to push, and can be applied to the face without emulsification, and the skin is not burdened, which is suitable for moisturizing day cream before makeup. If you need to soothe and repair the skin after minor skin inflammation, seasonal allergies, or medical aesthetic damage, "black and white" is a good choice. If you use one of the two alone, it is also a lady-level cream with good skin feel and great efficacy.
 
As a skincare brand focusing on anti-aging, Helena not only has black and white bandages as bargaining chips, but also the "Honorable Essence Cream" under the Black Pearl series is also eye-catching. Pearl powder replaces Bosenine as one of the highlights of this cream, but it is not present in large quantities and is not the protagonist of the ingredients. Among the ingredients, the extract of Alder spinula is quite eye-catching because it is relatively rare, which can effectively kill bacteria and anti-allergies, and reduce skin sensitivity. The cream is also infused with bilberry, citron and algae extracts to help with skin repair. However, this does not mean that sensitive skin can be unconditionally applicable, it contains a large number of flavors and a variety of botanical compound ingredients, it is recommended that sensitive skin try it out before buying the product.
 
The Elite Cream is rich and can be used on dry and oily skins. The cream is heated in the palm of your hand and applied to the face, which not only improves the spread, but also makes the skin feel more comfortable. After use, the skin quickly takes on a soft texture, which is very helpful for mature skin with dull complexion and certain anti-aging needs. The cream jar is rounded, and the indigo bottle is smooth and slightly reflective, showing a refined temperament. If you are a mature skin user with stable skin texture, this product is also worth trying.
 
Since being acquired by L'Oréal in 1988, Helena has not abandoned the brand characteristics of medicinal skincare, and is a luxury technology brand owned by L'Oréal. Compared with brands such as La Mer and POLA, Helena's brand tonality is difficult to get rid of the "mother's taste", and the product gives people a very reliable sense of comfort from efficacy, shape and taste. However, such an impression cannot attract young users, and the brand has a narrow audience. Helena's creams are all 50ml, and the price mostly fluctuates between 2500-3900 yuan, if you need to buy, you can move to the flagship store to choose.
