Whitening Spots Specialist Program

       Even though my previous spot whitening correctors (whatever they name it) really turned me down, I'm still standing strong in the battle to combat my freckles. Thus, after reading some good reviews on SK11 Whitening Spot Specialist where most of the users proudly declared themselves as freckles free (not just lighten but diminished the freckles/dark spots), I purchased myself the set of Whitening Spots Specialist Program. Initially my plan is to buy the 30ml Whitening Spots Specialist (RM399) only. But Miss WF convinced me that I should get the whole set (RM719) which also consists of the 28-Day Essence Treatment Whitening Spots Specialist Concentrate. So I decided to get myself the complete set although it really broke me for the entire month. My reasons; (1) I have been trying many spot whitening product, so it's better for me to try the intensive spot whitening program by SK1I, (2) It is cheaper buying the set, because the concentrate alone cost RM499 so I saved RM179 here. Shop till you drop ;-). I just hope I could see the result faster and my freckles will be completely removed when religiously using this set. Really praying that this would be my ultimate finding. I am completely sold by their advertisement "Cuts.Loosen.Removes: Even stubborn dark spots accumulated over 5 years". According to ad, this could be done with 2 steps; Step 1:Whitening Spot Specialist and Step 2: Whitening Spot Specialist Intense Essence. It's like fighting will all you can.

        I used Whitening Spot Specialist twice a day, after applying my Facial Treatment Essence. According to the instruction on the box, take the appropriate amount of the serum onto your palm and apply to whole face. The serum is quite sticky initially, but it is immediately reduced after patting it onto my whole face. The concentrate should only be used at night, at last step of your skin care regimen. In my case after moisturizer. The usage instruction is to take 1 pack of the concentrate onto palm. Smooth onto the concerned area with fingertips, and apply the rest of the product with a gentle patting motion especially on problem areas, and then press firmly with palm to seal. 1 pack is good to care both cheeks. The pack is to be used once opened to keep the product quality. The concentrate is stickier and thicker than the serum. It takes quite some time to fully adsorb into your skin. Nevertheless, it's worthwhile when you wake up in the morning feeling your skin so smooth. I believed that it also provides hydration to my face because I could feel like a layer of 'film' on my face when I wash my face in the morning. I think the 'film' seals my face throughout the night. Luckily, my skin also doesn't broke out or got any adverse effect from these products even though the texture is too thick. It is most likely gel-like texture.

      As for what it is promised for, I have been using them for a week now. I noticed my overall face is  brighter but still couldn't see significant difference in the targeted area. I'm not giving up yet, still got 21 days to go. Will update you gals once I have completed the 28 days program.

The Whitening Spots Specialist Program

      

 Oh..by the way I couldn't help but have to tell you this. I was really amazed with the SKII beauty advisor's skin who entertained me during my latest purchase.  It is so luminous, glowing, healthy and perfect I must say. I even couldn't resist myself to compliment her skin. Good for her, she works for SKII so she could make use of all the benefits she received. Fortunately, I bought the set during Jusco MidValley member's day so I got myself RM70 voucher and 2.5g SKII Cellumination Deep Surge. Just trying to persuade myself here..my oh my ;-)

SKII Facial Treatment Essence

Hi there,

I'm now using my 2nd bottle of  215ml SKII Facial Treatment Essence (SFTE). My first purchase was in August 2011. I bought the SKII Pitera Essence set (RM199) which includes the FTE (75ml), 1 pc of Facial Treatment Mask and Facial Treatment Clear Lotion (40ml). The 75ml SFTE just lasts for a month. But, in that just one month I discovered that the SFTE really does wonder to my skin. Immediately after I applied it on my face, my face feels smooth and supple. That's when I decided to purchase my 1st bottle of 215ml SFTE. I also bought the 215ml Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. In my third month using the SFTE, my friends commented on how luminous my skin is. I also can feel the bouncing effect of my skin whenever I press my fingers on my cheeks. I think SFTE has recovered the elasticity of my skin. This bottle lasts ngamngam  6 months. 

I used this product twice daily after using the Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. At first, I poured about 5-6 drops on the cotton pad and dabbed it on my face as advised by the SA. I found it is a wasteful, because I didn't notice any changes on my skin by using this method. So I just pour 5-6 drops on my palm and immediately pat it on my face. Upon applying this method, I noticed my skin changes to a better condition. You have to be extra careful to avoid any loss if the liquid slip in between your finger. My advice: practice makes perfect. Make sure the other palm is ready underneath the palm-contains-SFTE when you first pat it on your face.

Overall, I think the SFTE really helps to improve your skin condition in terms of elasticity ,glow and luminousity. The only cons, it doesn't help to reduce my pigmentation even though it is one of its mentioned benefit, spot control. Price wise, I admit it is expensive but it's ok with me because it delivers what is promised and I'm really a satisfied user of the SKII Facial Treatment Essence. My tips: Buy the SFTE when any departmental store especially Jusco or Parkson got this 'every RM100 spend-got RM10 /RM20 voucher' promotion. So, you won't feel much guilty for spending such big amount of money for this product. At least you can use the voucher to buy groceries or other stuffs. Besides you'll also get sample for other items or if not, you can just ask the SA, pujuk2 la sikit dah beli mahal kan. During my last purchase (I bought 2 bottles = RM978, one for my aunty), I got 2pcs of whitening source derm-revival mask and actual size of Facial Treatment Advanced Loose Powder UV (cost: RM198) + Parkson's voucher. Latest price of the SFTE (215ml) is RM489 at Parkson.

SK2 Skin Power Kit

SK2 Skin Power Kit

After bosan sudah with Kiehl's, i was tempted to use SK2 again. Not that Kiehl's was not good, but after a while i feel that Kiehl's  will make your skin look perfect when you use it, but if you stop using it, like u forgot or something then ur skin will look so not nice, like dull.. so me and miss NH (she also think the same way as i am) think that Kiehl's only have a temporary wow effect on our skin...

We went to Midvalley, Isetan SK2 counter and had my skin diagnosed by the sa (forgot her name, it was last year). They analyze my skin for the 5 dimension of crystal clear skin. Of course i did not score all fives dimensions, I was lacking in radiance and lines. After testing and trying, i bought the skin power kit to enhance my skin power, well actually for me so that i will look more radiant. This is my journey to crystal clear skin:

The skin power kit consist of SK2 pitera essence, SK2 skin signature 3D refining mask, SK2 skin signature cream and a spatula for the cream.

I was really exited to try out this power kit set.... however i was sooooooo disappointed that my skin could not accept the essence anymore as it can 2 or 3 years ago when i first used this essence. i wounder why oh why.... i really wanted to use this and see good results. Upon using this essence, i experienced itchiness and small tiny bumps appeared.

With the SK2 skin signature cream (the moisturizer) it was too heavy for me, it was like forever to let it sink into my skin. And i did keep on sweating after wearing this.

For the mask, i did not use this yet until now.. i'm saving for a special event that might pop up someday and planning to use it before the event. Hope the mask would give good result. Will update later when i sue it.

So, i guess SK2 ias not suitable for me any longer. Despite the nonsuccessive result, i still continue to use and finish the small bottle of essence and skin signature cream (mahal loooo kena habiskan...) as in the same time seek for another skincare to try on.

Before i jump to another skin care product, i bought this SK2 facial treatment gentle cleanser. i loved this cleanser so much. It has a rich creamy consistency and the smell is so refreshing... rase petals... ahhh i can still imagine the smell right now. Using it make me feel like i was pampered like a princess...
It is so expensive for a cleanser RM199.. but since would not repurchase the SK2 essence or moisturize anymore, so this is a good bye also... but i do LOVE IT! maybe one day, one fine day i'll be back for uuu..
