Hello everyone , This is my last episode of SK-II product series  - I will talk about 6 moisturizers and  eye cream from SK-II.

*I will still update my blog if i buy new product from SK-II, don't worry =)

I'm a big supporter on SK-II products because i found that it served my skin pretty well but there aren't a product thats suitable for everyone so my review are always base on my personal preference and skin conditions .


If you wish to read my review on SK-II products , here you go:

1. Stempower
    80g
Signature classy red glass jar with twist lid .Comes with spatula .
 Ingredients list :
Aqua (Water), Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, Isohexadecane, Pentylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Isostearate, Polyacrylamide, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Acanthopanax Senticosus (Eleuthero) Root Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate, Sucrose Polycottonseedate, Panthenol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Methylsilanol Tri-PEG-8 Glyceryl Cocoate, Behenyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Cetyl Alcohol, Laureth-7, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Ammonium Polyacrylate, Sodium Hydroxide, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Polyquaternium-7, Disodium EDTA, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, CI 77492 (Iron Oxides), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide). 

-No fragrance -

Milky gel-cream consistency , it is more to creamy side. Hmm maybe 30 gel 70 Cream .
 
It feel airy velvet on face , comfortable and lightweight,  absorb well after massage 30s .

This is my 4th bottle and also my favorite among SK-II moisturizers. The best .
It gives my skin a just-right-amount of moisture and the consistency is just-right too ! This is great for people who have little dry or combination skin because it didn't make your skin feel soak with extra moisture/oil ,at the same time it also make my skin feel smooth , tighten and firm . Oh ya it have a tiny subtle scent , it is unfragranced so definitely not perfume , it smell like milky cream combine with a hint of pitera , just slightly.

If you are looking for your first anti-aging cream , this definitely a good pick !

I found it suitable to use on the day and also the night , it works great under make up and also gives a light moisture barrier during the night.

But

SK-II have replaced stempower with R.N.A power .

*Building upon the huge success of the Stempower line, SK-II has taken anti-aging one step further with R.N.A. Power, inspired by award-winning skin science and the revelatory finding of Lengthwise and Crosswise firmness, a whole new level of measuring firmness that can change the future of your skin.

So we couldn't get stempower in counter anymore (´;︵;`)





2. R.N.A Power Radical new age
 2.R.N.A POWER radical new age
    80g
 Signature classy red glass jar with twist lid .Comes with spatula .

This is a little bit thicker than stempower , as i said just now stempower is 30gel 70 cream , R.N.A power is slightly creamier so i feels like 20 gel 80 cream , but it still feel lightweight and downy on skin .
 This is the comparison between stempower and R.N.A power cream , R.N.A power is slightly more dense  ,both easy blendable .

It felt velvety on skin , easy to apply evenly and gives a light to medium moisture shelter on top .

I grab R.N.A power without research / read online comment , because it is the 'upgrade' version of stempower . Luckily it didn't disappointed me , it gives all the beneficial result that stempower gives me , meanwhile gives more moisture . My skin tend to be dry after give birth , so this moisturizer comes on time .It form a barrier to locks up all the moisture , it doesn't feel uncomfortable although i can feel it when i touch my face . The 'moisture layer' will disappear after an hour or two .
Since stempower no longer in counter , switch to R.N.A power is a great option .
If you have oily or combination skin , use this only at night .





3.Stempower Rich Cream
The packaging : Red box , red glass bottle as usual
 Stempower rich cream 50g

Denseness is obviously higher than Stempower or R.N.A power .
Texture is butter-y , it melt gradually between my fingertips . Its feel like the butter have been sit at room temperature for 30 minutes . It require to have a light massage and leave delicate and lovely touch .
Stempower rich cream is concentrated and provide lots of nutrients that dry aging skin need. This is my mom favorite among SK-II moisturizer .

The moisture coat will stay up the whole night , so i didn't use this during my morning routine because it takes a thousand years to absorb before i apply sunscreen .
I would only recommend to use this at night or if you have extra dry skin .




4.Facial Treatment Concentrate
 Frosty glass bottle with golden twist cap

30 g . Made in japan - Fragrance free
This is the only one come with luxurious velvet seat .
Basically we will see 'water ' as first ingredients in list , but this is not . 
Galactomyces ferment filtrate aka Pitera ,  the SK-II miracle secret ingredients. Although content is small (30g) but don't worry you will get what you pay.
When they call it 'CONCENTRATE' they really meant it . 






5.Whitening Source Derm Brightener

 Plastic bottle with reflective outlook
Cyclopentasiloxane at front of the ingredients , if you wondering what is it , it's silicone based cylic compound . So basically cyclopentasiloxane will slip the product make it easily spreadable , and form protective layer to prevent moisture loss, in the other hand it may also block others active ingredients to sink in.

I'm ok with small amount of silicone in my skincare , because its tough to be avoid at all or i can say it is nearly impossible to do so. I will use these silicone based product at last step in my skincare routine .
Since Cyclopentasiloxane located at the first place of ingredients list ,which mean it is the highest percentage in content , i worry it may block the absorption of other active ingredients in my moisturizer .

The packaging is cool.

You can't see the cream when you open the cap , the cream is sitting under another lid , and you have to twist the lid according to the arrow and the cream will pop out from the small hole . So active ingredients didn't expose to the air ，keep it fresh .
I don't even need a spatula too.

But it is plasticy (because its costly so i wish something solid) and my fingerprint makes the mirror-reflect outer casing looks dirty , but the way to took out the product is cool and hygiene .
Another downside is i can't tell how much product left in the bottle
A thick cream with light yellow tinted .
It is thick and need some time to massage ,it leave a powdery matte finish after 20 minutes .
I use as a daytime moisturizer because it contain a bit of titanium dioxide , which will leave white cast and my skin look 'brighter'.

I'm in love and hate situations with this product , i love this it save my time during morning , it did give some sort of white cast so my skin look fair and powdery soft when i touch it , my skin just look bare-ly good. I don't need to touch up too much afterwards.
I hate this because it contains too much silicone ,and i know it may block out absorption for other active ingredients, because it is expensive so i wish my skin able drink up all the benefits.



6.Cellumination Deep Surge EX

White-opal-color glass bottle with silver twist cap .

Its does contains fragrance , all product in Aura cellumination line smell wonderfully but not for people who have sensitive nose .

This moisturizer is in gel consistency , it is light weight yet moisture .
It makes my skin looks plump and glowing after spread on .

My skin look shinning on after 3-4 hours during daytime ( in bad way) , so i switch this to my night routine .
It gives enough moisture for my skin during the night but i didn't get any benefit other than moisturise . I have moderate experience for whole aura cellumination line so maybe it just not suitable for my skin .



7. Stempower eye cream

Red glass bottle with stable red twist lid . 15g

Light yellow cream . Hmmm banana color, not the skin
The cream is soft , spread easily under eye and just right texture to do circular massage .
This is one of my favorite eye cream , and i have use 3 bottle in succession .
It gives right amount of moisture and didn't cause milia , and reduce dry fine line around my eye .

I only gives short review for this eye cream , because stempower eye cream have been discontinued.
I will have a detail review for new R.N.A power eye cream next time =)


Thanks for reading =)

Have a great skin day.

Empties(Dec 2016 to Feb 2017 ) Feat.Innisfree,DrGL,SK-II,Hera,Lirikos,illi,Ryoe

10:17:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello everyone =)


Here is my updated empties record (from Dec 2016 to Feb 2017 ) .


1.Innisfree Perfumed Diffuser -Gardenia 0717


Top note :Lemon , Jasmine tea
Heart :Gardena, White Peach , Rose Petal , Freesia
Base:Cashmere Musk , White cedarwood
100 ml

I got this at my local innisfree store , price around RM70 +- , price is reasonable and smell so great and girly . I know this from one of Taiwan youtuber name 'Hellocatie' , she describe this as - a scent that appear in pretty girl bedroom .

I not well in describe a scent , this smell girly but not teenager or mature lady , it just well locate at middle of them .
Rating :85%


2.DrGL  Restore Gel Mask

100ml

I got this at Sephora online store ( sadly my local sephora didn't carry this ) . I like this gel mask really much . This gel mask mainly helps to calm down my angry red face and also gives hydration .

It didn't make me feel squeezy juicy after apply , but this is the product i will reach whenever i get sunburn or allergy . It contain beta glucan , various plant roots extract and camomile extract （and it is originally blue without any coloring )

DrGL products are made with well formulated and good quality , and for sure their price range are higher , if you have sensitive skin or get sunburn easily , i highly recommend pick this gel mask for a try .

3.Body buddy eco ennea moisture up body cleanser

700g

I got this because this body cleanser using ALS(ammonium lauryl sulfate ) as cleansing agent rather than SLS . This body wash lather well and smell good, but not 'moisture up' that what i expect from the title .It is not drying but it is not moisturize neither , i would still need to apply lotion afterwards .

I wouldn't say this product is bad , but just doesn't live up what i expect from the name ' moisture up body cleanser' .

4.Sana Namerakahonpo Soymilk Cleansing Wash

I have done a full review here

I adore this face wash , it cleans well and leave my skin feel mochi soft .
Rating : 80%


5.SK-II Skin Rebooster


I have done full review here
 *with others SK-II face mask

This gel mask not bad , it did some hydration and remove impurities at the same time .But i personally doesn't think that the result suit the price (rm 300 with only 75 g).
Rating : 70% 


6.Hera purifying cleansing foam

200ml

Yes , it is 200ml, a HUGE bottle and this cleansing foam last about a year in my bathroom . It foam well and smell great ( Hera skin care smell really good but if you are the other side which prefer fragrance free product , this definitely not your cup of tea ) . It did a good job to cleans the skin and i will recommend this for people who have oily or combination skin because i felt slightly dry around my eye area .

Rating : 77%


7.Hera Aquabolic Moisturizing Emulsion

30ml

This is a trial kit size and last for about 3 weeks (I use in my morning routine ) . It have good smell , nice absorb and leave a thin layer moisture 'protection' . I unable to finish up because it is hard to shake/pour the leftover product from the bottom of the bottle.
Rating : 77%


8.Lirikos Marine Energy Hydrating Pulse Ampoule

30ml

Lirikos is a korean brand under AmorePacific , it may not famous in others country but Lirikos is korea medium-high cosmetic brand and Ampoule is their main product .

Lirikos divide into two :
Lirkos - Luxury skin care brand ,you can found it in department store . Nice packaging and their ampoule are in vial,to ensure that everytime you use , they're fresh and active . Target more to collagen and prevent aging .

Lirikos Marine energy -  Lirikos Premium line  , price range -medium . Packaging are more plasticy and not luxurious as Lirikos . Target for hydrating and basic care .

Oh ya and they make foundation cushion too , i heard a lots of good review .

Ok , back to this Hydrating pulse ampoule .
First the packaging , the bottle is thick and stable plastic with a good pump.I will get the right amount of ampoule everytime i twist open the bottle ( same with Lancome Advanced Genifique ) .
This bottle last for about 1 month plus for me . It provides good hydration and i can feel my skin moisture level are enhance within a week .

The consistency is clear and runny , feels like a lightweight essence . (

The only negative side for this ampoule is.. It smell overly perfume，It is strong and lasting .
I think because they use seaweed or marine ingredients in their product and those material doesn't smell good so they use fragrance to cover it .

I got this around Rm100 at gmarket(with a bunch of freebies) , for me it worth the price , because it gives great result and i feel they doing good in everything-Packaging , ingredients selection and price.


9.Lirikos Marine Energy Hydrating Pulse Serum

 20ml

This is a deluxe sample that i got while i purchase Lirikos Hydrating Pulse Ampoule , i use this serum in my morning routine because it is lightweight and i don't need to spend more time to wait it absorb . Although the consistency may look thick in the picture but once it spread on my skin it change into water droplets and drink up in a minute .

This serum having the intense perfume/fragrance  (I found that most of the Lirikos Marine Energy product having this common disease ). Please avoid this if u have sensitive nose or allergy to fragrance .


10.Rohto Melano CC - Medicating intensive spot correcting serum

20ml

This is a vitamin c serum , and active vitamin c is typically thought to be unstable to use in skin care because it will get oxidize easily . This japan company - rohto use a new technology that able to store vitamin C in a tube and this serum are also contains vitamin e and others ingredients that great for prevent pimple and moisturizing (I cant read japanese so ... )



Although the name is 'serum' but it is in a oil form , a lightweight moisturizing oil . It absorb quickly and i can smell sour citrus scent every time i apply .

It helps to fade out acne scarring and supply moisture to my skin , i must say it do very well with the price (Rm 45 -not include postage , i got this from rakuten japan)

Rating :88%



11.Ryoe Shine & Moisture Shampoo

500ml

Most of Ryoe shampoo smell oriental herbs or medicine but this is an exception , this smell grass and floral - truly floral not sweet or perfumey type .
The floud is translucent and form up a good amount of bubble , cleans my hair well but doesn't leave it over drying .

Rating :78%



12. illi hanbang total aging care cream wash


This is a body cleanser but in cream form , if you found normal body cleanser/shower gel are too dry for you maybe you can switch to cream type . This is not an outstanding cleanser if you compare the cleansing or moisture power with others , what really make me fall in love with this body wash is the SCENT.
The scent is combination with ginseng, herbs , and hint of floral that make me feel so luxurious and admirable . I enjoy my shower time even more with this , love it ♥♥♥♥♥

13.Sunstar Ora2-Stain Clear Peach Leaf Mint

I not sure whether this really helps to remove/clear stain , but this toothpaste make me enjoy my brushing moment , haha . I used to be a person who don't like to brush my teeth ( i know it is terrible ..) because i'm not enjoy that strong minty feel. I have try some toothpaste which totally without any mint taste but that doesn't feel right for me until i found this tooth paste . This toothpaste taste(?) well with combination peachy and mint which a Big plus for me .

14.SK-II Cellumination Mask In Lotion


Full Review here
*with others SK-II Toner

I enjoy to apply this whenever i need extra moisture boost . I like the hydrating power , scent , packaging , almost everything beside the price , LOL

Rating : 88%


15.Suisse Programme Cellular Boosting Solution

Full Review here

This is my 3rd or 4th bottle , I use it every morning to de-puff my jiggly puff face . This not a face slimming product but i found the consistency is suitable to massage without rolling 'dust'. And i brought too much during sales ( 5 bottle , lol) , so now i must work hard to finish stock before it get expire .


16.Belif The True Anti-Aging Essence

*This is a sample



Consistency is runny liquid ,the essence is two layered (With calendula whipping cream and acai berry essence ), so i need to shake the bottle and combine it before apply on my face . It smell berry wonderful and leave a thin layer of moisture barrier afterward .

I can't tell the  anti-aging power because it just a tiny 5ml sample size .
