I am reviewing the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence today.
This miracle water contains more than 90% of Pitera. It started when scientists noticed that elderly japanese workers at a sake brewary had wrinkled face but extraordinary soft and youthful hands. After years of research, they isolated the source: Pitera! The brand is considered a luxurious brand as a whole skincare line can easily set you back at a thousand dollars.
I found quite a lot of mixed reviews on this products, its either a love or a hate relationship. Some even mentioned that their skin is "addicted" to this product is which when they stop using it, their skin turned worse.
I had been using this FTE on and off for 1.5 years now. I have since decreased to using it only at night to repair my skin. I find that FTE works best when you use the whole SK-II line. My skin was at its peak when I used the Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser - FTE - Repair C - Skin Signature regime. However, I did not want to use such so many expensive productus yet so I switched to other products while still using the SK-II Cleanser and FTE.
The other day, I used the FTE in between my Curel products and had a bad sensitive reaction. My right cheek turned red and itchy and small little bumps appear. I had to stop all skincare products and used only the La-Roche Posay and Avene thermal spray. These products are life-savers!
The Facial Treatment Essence comes in an exquisite heavy glass bottle. The new 330ml one comes in a plastic pump bottle which it is said to be 8% richer in Pitera compared to the usual 150ml, 215ml and 250ml bottles.
The essence is a clear liquid with a fermented smell. I couldn't take the smell at first but grew to like it.
I will pour the essence of a piece of cotton pad and slowly pat on my face as much times as I can.
I use to have a lot of pimples and bumps on my forehead during my JC days, they all pretty much cleared up now, with occasional pimples here and there. Overall, I would say it really helps to improve the skin if I compare my skin now to back during my JC days. The effects of this Facial Ttreatment Essence can be pretty evident in some people. I have an aunt whose face is really glowing and radiant.
Perhaps I still need to give it more time to see the effects on my skin.
RATING: 4/5
Will I Repurchase? Yes
