Sk-ii

[LucindaMay]

Has anyone tried these products?

 

[PrincessImp.]

I have and am a devoted fan!
Currently using

1. Facial treatment essence , this is like a add-on after my toner and the star product of their range
2. Facial treatment mask - this really peps my skin up every week
2. Advanced signs treatment - use it like a moisteriser.

It gave me a bit of a outbreak initally but now, I think my skin has improved vastly after using SKII.

Here's their website. It looks really interesting, it's one of my must-try lines for the future

 

[PrincessImp.]

It markets itself as a Japanese-brand skincare, but it's really owned by American company Maxfactor.

It promises users crystal-clear skin within 28 days due to the presence of Pitera, a yeast derivative which accelerates the skin renewal cycle.

It is very popular in Asia and I think the brand was recently imported into the US (available at Saks I think ) and Australia.
Cate Blanchett is the latest celebrity spokeswoman for the brand, before her, there were several Asian celebrities.

Here's a short post on this brand in my blog (yes I am that obessed with this brand )

1. Facial Treatment Essence - This is really the star of the entire SKII range and the most enduring of the entire product line.

You can try SaksFifthAvenue or check the SKII website for stockists in CA.
On the other hand, this HK-based website: http://www.strawberrynet.com does sell SKII online.
But I'll strongly advise you to sample it first, cos I did have a minor breakout when I started using the treatment essence initially...

thanks for your advaice

I use the Facial Treatment Essence and the Facial Lift Emulsion (Moisturizing Lotion). I order from strawberrynet. I also would see if you could sample from somwhere like Saks.

I just started using it, and I have had a minor... kind of major break out... ??
I guess I will just stick with it a bit longer... I'm using the Facial Treatment Essence. I was using the gel cleanser, then I noticed that it had mineral oil in it... So I have stoped. (Mineral Oil blocks pores...)

Very famous brand in Asia. But in London too. I hope it will arrive in Switzerland. My friend is very satisfied with this products.

I'm a big fan of the essence. I found out about them when I was living in Australia, and I've been using for about 8 months now. Improves skin clarity. I just had a major breakout in the skin, actually, a skin problem, but was not related to the product. It's expensive but I'd recomend.

it's very big here in singapore, not to mention expensive too. apparently the things it does to skin is comparable to what la mer can do.

is good
but once u stop using it...your skin will look horrible and u can see a big difference

it's also available at sasa.com, i used to order my sk-II skin care products from there before saks imported them. i still order the make-up powder and foundation from sasa.com/strawberrynet though. i like their rebooster, which is a quick mask, and the facial treatment repair c. although it's pricey, but one bottle of product lasts a long time.

i dont think its suitable for young skin... im 19 and i noticed no change when using the facial treatment essence. Ive also used the facial treatment mask, again, it did nothing.
Honestly, you'll see more of a difference if you put Ingrow-go on your face- that totally speeds up cell turnover, for sure!

 

[jaymee]

it's very popular in HK. i like the Facial Treatment Mask, i used it over 10 years. also the Advanced Sign Treatment cream and Advanced Sign Treatment cream/powder foundation.

 

[pinnie]

my sister's bestfriend uses this product and it's great.

I started on the Whitening Range as well, now I have worked in the Whitening mask as well as the Whitening Source (a whitening serum). The results are pretty impressive, and I feel that my skin is more luminous now!

My skin usually breaks out a little when I move between time zones from Singapore to US. But this time round, it doesn't and I'm guessing it's due to my new added skincare.

My mom has been using SKII since last year and she does look glowy now...but then again she's always had very good skin. I don't think it's suitable for teenagers though, plus it's very pricey .
