My Last Christmas with SK-II

Hello Readers,

I bought SK-II Travel Exclusive pack last Christmas at Changi Airport, It contains The Facial Treatment Essence (215ml) and Stempower Moisturizer (80g) and since I was running out a UV protection, I also purchased a Facial treatment UV Protection SPF 25 (30g).
1.       SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (215ml) -- FTE
It is a miracle water, The star product of SK-II is a beauty essence that acts on 5 dimensions of skin : Texture Refinement, Firmness, Radiance, Wrinkle Resilience and Spot Control, it as all in a bottle. I’ve been using the FTE for 6 years now and I am in Love with my skin ever since. Actually I also made an individual review about FTE, http://saturdaywithnatalie.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-legendary-treatment-essence-from-sk.html
So, FTE is not a Toner, it is a beauty essence, After Cleanser and toner, Pour The FTE into a cotton pad (as thin as possible, so you won’t leave a lot of those miracle in a cotton pad) and tap gently against your face and neck, I use it twice a day, with or without makeup.

2.       SK-II Stempower moisturizer (80g)

This Moisturizer is designed to deeply penetrate into skin and improve skin quality. It promises to help the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of radiance, loss of skin elasticity, visibly enlarged pores, dryness and sallow complexion just in 10 days.. Hmmh.. You know what.. I decide to buy it at that seconds to try it..
The texture is rich, leaving a velvety feeling and making skin feel a lot smoother, even after first application. But it’s not greasy at all.
After 10 days of usage, my skin looked clearer and brighter, I don’t know it has enhanced my skins resilience to wrinkles since I still don’t have an obvious line on my face yet, but I am definitely going to use it for a longer period of time to prevent unwanted creases :)

3.       SK-II Facial Treatment UV protection SPF 25 (30g)
UV Protection is a must have to protect your skin against the damaging UV Light. This UV protection comes with SPF 25, but if You’ll be exposed under the sun most of the time, you can consider using SK-II whitening source derm definition UV lotion with SPF 50.
The SK-II Facial Treatment UV Protection SPF 25 texture is lightweight and the skin could absorbed it almost instantly. After I applied the sunscreen, I don’t feel any stickiness at all, it is very important for any skincare product especially if you live at tropical condition like mine. It is fragrance free and colour free so it is suitable for even a sensitive skin like mine.

The Design
The packaging design is in a frosted glass with a pump cylinder on top, so it will keep the product hygiene. Overall, the design is sleek and comfortable to hold.

The Legendary Treatment Essence from SK-II


Hello Ladies,
I’m here to write about SK-II Facial treatment Essence and I know I’m not the 1st person to rave about this amazing product, I’m sure you’ll find many other review, but I still have to add to the list of gleaming testimonials  

About SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
Containing more than 90% Pitera that makes this ‘miracle water’ is a must have for a healthy, radiant skin. It helped maintain the skin’s natural renewal cycle to it’s optimum condition to allow skin nourishment. It also works to balance the skin’s PH and Sebum Secretion, so oily and dry areas are properly moisturized.

Me and SK-II Facial Treatment Essence
 Henceforth, for the rest of this post, the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence will be referred to as FTE for convenience.

I first purchased the FTE in 2008 when I was facing extremely dry skin and I need something to save me. After the first week I am so impressed with the result, my skin looks moisturized, soft, healthier and has that ‘Glow’
Since I’ve been using the FTE, my skin problems have lessened : lesser issue with dry skin, less breakouts, skin look radiant and glowing, pore appears smaller, dark spots are lightened.
This has been my lifesaver in so many ways, and Nothing could tear me away from it !
It’s been 6 years and I’m definitely going to use it in the future as a part of my beauty regime.

Texture
The texture is very lightweight (it is like a water) and it doesn’t leave greasy feeling afterwards, so it is okay to use it with or without makeup.

Application
There is two popular methods, One is to pour it into a cotton pad and wipe/dab it all over your face and neck. Two, is to pour it into palm of your hand and pat into your face.
I’ve tried both but I prefer to use a cotton pad instead, because when I tried the second methods, pour it into palm of my hand, it became messy and I waste so much at the end of the day.
To maximize the FTE usage, I use cotton pad as thin as possible, so I won’t left too much the ‘miracle water’ too much on the cotton pad.

Size and Price
It came in 5 variant, and last time I checked in Singapore here's the price :
Bottle of 75ml : 99SGD
Bottle of 150ml : 191SGD
Bottle of 215ml : 233SGD
Bottle of 250ml : 261SGD
Bottle of 330ml : 321SGD

Bye for now, See you in my next post..
