Hello , today i want to talk about all SK-II toner/lotion.

They categories in toners but they named it 'lotion' because most of japan brand name their toner as lotion , so when you see 'lotion' in japan skincare products , that mean toner .


toner/lotion functions
1.Purify the skin, remove dead skin cells
2.Primed skin and prepare for subsequent skin care products.



I have all 3 types lotion from SK-II ,
1.Facial Treatment Clear Lotion
2.Cellumination Mask-In-Lotion
3.Whitening Source Clear lotion

I apart them according to function , because i found that these 3 suitable for almost all skin type, even sensitive.



1.Facial Treatment Clear Lotion
Completes the cleansing ritual by removing residual impurities and dead skin cells.

This effective toning lotion with a mix of AHA and Pitera exfoliates dead skin cells and impurities. Its clarifying formula prepares the face for the rest of your skincare regimen.


This is my 3rd bottle , i always get it in a set with Facial Treatment Essence .
 This is the festival set that SK-II launch during almost every year end ,it contains a bottle of Facial Treatment Essence and Facial treatment essence clear lotion .

Facial Treatment Clear Lotion contains Galatomyces Ferment Filtrate (which we call 'Pitera' in common), Lactic Acid (AHA),Salicylic Acid ( BHA) .
AHA and BHA are a well known ingredients that helps to soften and remove dead skin cell , at the same time it helps control sebum too .

-Water-like consistency and odorless .
-Must apply with cotton , you will notice little tiny yellowish and dirt after wipe .
-Heavy glass bottle with twist lid

Facial Treatment clear lotion contains low percentage of AHA and BHA , which suitable to use as daily exfoliate ,i suggest 3 times a week for those who have super sensitive/dry or people who have not much sebum . I use as daily bases , it doesn't feel sticky or heavy. It boost up effect of subsequent product because it helps to remove sebum and dead skin cell which ease up absorption . It doesn't cause drying but also didn't gives any hydration .
It is a bit pricey for an acid toner but it really do the job and also contains galactomyces (Pitera) , and of course a good classy bottle , i still think it worth the price .
Oh ya because i got it in a set , so it is a lot cheaper XD



2.SK-II Whitening Source Clear Lotion


This light gel toner, is infused with MT Blocker that also contains Pitera™, which gently remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface.

This advanced exfoliating lotion controls melanin production to help diminish the appearance of spots. Over time, your skin becomes brighter and more translucent.

Grey-silverish thick plastic bottle with pump , i use 2 pump with cotton pad .
I not sure what MT Blocker is.. so cant comment much with this
But as the name 'clear lotion' , it also function to exfoliate . But it have an unique light gel consistency .


It contains SK-II signature Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate). And also contains Ascorbyl Glucoside , Niacinamide which benefit in whitening and brightening .


 Although product name is 'clear lotion' but the contains is not clear or lotion neither lol .
This so called 'clear lotion' is slightly runny light gel consistency with 'rice water' color , scentless .
I can't exactly tell how it gives whitening but i can feel it will gives some help , for long term .
No AHA or BHA , which more comfortably for people who don't like acid type clear lotion . I can feel it gives more moisture than the original Facial Treatment Clear lotion , and doesn't feel harsh while i wipe over my face . It doesn't provide a strong 'clarifying' feature like what Facial Treatment Clear Lotion does .



3. SK-II Cellumination Mask-In-Lotion


Specially formulated with SK-II’s unique whitening complex Aura Bright Cocktail EX that contains Pitera™. This one-of-a-kind mask in the form of a toning lotion immediately brightens and softens your skin, preparing it to receive the full benefit of the SK-II regimen that follows. This mask-like experience reveals your skin’s natural luminosity by lightening the appearance of spots and reducing dullness.

They gives the name 'mask-in-lotion', which mean you able to get moisture face mask effect by just apply few drop of this lotion .
Colorful opal color glass bottle with twist lid ,delicate and sleek .

As usual it contains SK-II signature ingredient Pitera (galactonyces ferment filtrate) . It also contain  niacinamide and ascorbyl glucoside which helps brightening (because Cellumination is SK-II brightening line ) .Addition hyaluronic acid ,centella asiatica extract , and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae extract to boost up the hydration . Oh ya forget to mention , fragrance . It smell amazing and fade out after a minute .

Although the bottle look beautiful opal color but actually the product itself is milky rice water color, It is thick liquid consistency which make it glide on my face very smoothly ,it gives instant good hydration , plump, and brightening immediately .
I pour a few drops on my palm and apply upwards, i found it needs a lots of product to wet a piece of cotton pad so i prefer to use my bare hand .It absorb in a minute and leave no stickiness , but a healthy glow. For the day i need extra boost of moisture i will apply two or three layer .
