SK-II has made my skin noticeably brighter, smoother, and more radiant. The Facial Treatment Essence absorbs quickly and has become an essential part of my daily routine.
I bought the travel-size bottle first instead of committing to the full size. It gave me enough time to decide if it fit my routine, and I’m glad I started that way.
The Facial Treatment Essence has made a visible difference in my skin. My complexion looks smoother, brighter, and much more even than before.
The Facial Treatment Essence took a few weeks to show results, but my skin eventually looked brighter, smoother, and much more even. It’s definitely become a favorite.
I was hesitant because of the price, but SK-II genuinely made my skin look brighter and more refined after a few weeks. My complexion felt smoother overall, and I noticed a healthy glow that wasn’t there before.
I know the Pitera scent smells slightly like sake or yeast, but the results are undeniable. Within two weeks, the crystal-clear glass skin glow returned to my complexion and my overall texture is remarkably smooth.
It looks and feels just like plain water, but within a fortnight of patting it into my face morning and night, my skin clarity completely skyrocketed. My dark spots faded significantly, my skin tone looks completely uniform, and it gives me a constant, glass like morning glow that no other toner can replicate.
I was skeptical because of the price, but SK-II actually made a visible difference in my skin. After several weeks, my complexion looked brighter, smoother, and more even than it had in a long time.
Unfortunately, the scent was stronger than I expected and I had occasional irritation around my cheeks. Good results overall, but not quite the miracle product people online describe.
SK-II was one of the few expensive skincare brands where I actually noticed a visible difference in my skin texture and brightness. The essence made my skin look smoother and more radiant after consistent use, even if the price hurt a little.
The essence made my skin look smoother after a few weeks, but I honestly struggled with the smell at first. Very expensive too.
I finally gave in and bought the famous SK-II essence. At first I thought it was overhyped, but after a few weeks my skin texture looked smoother and more refined.
Too expensive for me. Results are subtle but there.
My acne scars have visibly faded. I finally feel confident without makeup.
So glowing and radiant to the skin.
Friendly support and sent replacement right away.
It leaves that weird sticky and icky feeling when spread around the face. Big NO for me
My first time trying SK-II products and I like what I’m seeing. My skin feels more refined and smoother under makeup. It’s a treat brand for me.
The essence gave me a glow, but it also caused slight irritation at first. Not sure it’s worth the high price for me.
The price tag is hard to justify, and the results take patience to see.
I’ve been using SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essence for over a month, and I’m amazed by the results! My skin is clearer, brighter, and more even-toned.
Left my face sticky and uncomfortable.
My pores look smaller and my skin is less oily — this is a game-changer for me!
The skin power eye cream erased my puffiness and dark circles. Worth the money but might go for more affordable products.
Works well as a base product under others.
