I was a big fan of their Brightening mask (possibly the best sheet mask I've ever used for an instant glow/radiance) and first received a small sample of this as a GWP at the SKII counter in...

It's a decent essence but it's just way too expensive for what it does. I tried it because I don't have to buy many skincare products thanks to my workplace. I gave it a go and it didn't live up to...

I really wanted to try because it seems to be one of those "expensive but HG" product. After using it, this does make my skin smooth after use. It's breathable and not irritating. For something...

When you sell an extremely expensive product, you gotta make an excellent product. Like SK-II. I only bought it because it was on sale though. Products like this make me wish I had more money.

My skin type is usually normal, sensitive and acne prone. I can't use retin-A - I never got used to it after trying for about 8 months. Vitamin C doesn't do that much for me alone. I've used lactic...

I tend to trust SK-II. I never had any bad reaction from their products so far. I like this essence. It hydrates and clears my skin very well :) Just that it's way too expensive. I get it. It's...
