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.
