SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence was the first SK-II product to be released. It was launched in Japan in 1980 and the formula has not changed since. Rich in Pitera, it contains 90 per cent, which is the highest concentration in the whole range. It works to boost the skin's moisture intake, smooth skin texture and renew dull looking skin. Japanese women who have been using the product for more than 20 years, refer to it as "miracle water".

Amazing!

I have recently started using the SK-II range of products and the results are unbelievable. My skin is smoother and clearer than ever before. Even when I get the occasional blemish, it heals almost overnight. I have also found my combination skin has become much more even. Love!

Where are my pores?!!

I have always been conscious of my large pores on my face. After only a couple of weeks use I can hardly see them at all. It is fantastic!

The Essence of Perfection

I received a generous 30ml free sample of this product to try and I'm glad that I did! I would describe this as It is a watery serum but it really sinks in immediately and makes skin soft and smooth straight away. My skin is clearer and redness has gone since I started to use the product. This is just a fantastic product and it has really made a visible difference to my skin. SKII is my new favourite brand now!

No significant change

I was lucky enough to receive a cute 30ml sample of this facial treatment. It is housed in a clear plastic bottle and looks very much like the full sized product which is held in a glass bottle. The solution is clear and has the consistency of water with a slight chemical and somewhat strange scent which I am not too fond of, but it is subtle enough to not be an issue. I have normal skin and have been applying this treatment by pouring a few droplets into my palm and patting in gently onto my cleansed face, morning and night followed by my usual serums and moisterisers for the past month. I really love how this treatment is non-sticky, easy to apply and absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. However, apart from this I have not noticed any significant improvements to the texture or luminosity of my skin or size of my pores. Based on my experience so far, I probably will not rush out to the shops to purchase the full sized product given the relatively high price tag and somewhat disappointing results.

literally a miracle

It really works! After day 2, I could see my complexion got brighter, tightened pores and became more radiant. I use it together with the clear lotion and together they work wonder :) My skin texture is improved, the T-zone area is normalized. Everytime I look in the mirror I look like someone who has been going regularly to her dermatologist for routine facial treatment. I didn't experience break-outs or allergic reactions to pitera that some might encounter. Yes the price is a bit high for it, but you only need small amount at each application...so a bottle is such a good investment for a healthy glowing skin. Love this essence and will repurchase it for sure! My suggestion is get the essence kit first so you know whether it's ok for ur skin...

Not sure if it's working

I got a 40ml trial of this facial treatment essence and have been using it twice daily for the last 2 months as recommended. The sales assistant said that I should see results in 28 days but I can't see any difference in my skin tone at all. I think it's great though but I wouldn't buy a full size becuase it's so expensive.

SK11 Miracle Water

This is a re-review for the Glosscars. I think that anyone who tried this product would have to rave about it. There's something so special about it, it truly is like liquid gold. As you may be able to tell, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing facial product. I have nearly finished my bottle and I'm trying so hard to use it sparingly cos I don't want to be without it. I wish it wasn't so expensive. I love the glass bottle, the packaging looks expensive. The liquid inside is clear and like the consistency of water. I use this after cleansing and I put a couple of drops onto my palm, then put both hands together, so it covers both hands, then pat them all over my facial areas and neck, even over eyes. It leaves my face feeling so refreshed and when I use it regularly I do notice a difference in my skintone, it looks more even. I wish I had a never-ending supply of this.

The best skin investment you will ever make

I can’t rave about this product enough! It is one of the best things I have ever done for my skin!
I have been using SK-II FTE (facial treatment essence) for about a year now and my skin seems to be getting younger. I noticed a different after about 2 weeks. It made (and still makes!) my skin tone more even, my skin felt softer and it also had a really nice glow. I was starting to get some lines here and there and since using FTE they have started to get smaller and I also haven’t gotten any more.
If you’re only going to get 1 SK-II product it has to be the Facial Treatment Essence!

Moisturising treatment essence

At first, I didn't know how this works... is it a toner? is it an essence? But I use it after washing my face. It does smell odd... my sister didn't like the smell, but I was alright with it. I have oily/combination skin but it works fine for me. Not heavy and absorbed very fast.
