Review : SKII Cellumination Deep Surge Ex

Product Description
The daily moisturiser is infused with a unique active whitening ingredient, De-Melano P3C that works to balance your skin tone from within to unleash your skin's aura.
It helps to condition and refine skin texture. Skin becomes smooth, clear and transparent that boosts light transmission on the skin surface that creates a healthy looking natural glow. It makes the affected areas, such as age and dark spots less obvious.
Containing concentrated SK-II Pitera that helps to improve overall skin texture and skin condition, it penetrates quickly into the skin and gives a light and smooth feeling when applied.

Benefits :
· Boosts light transmission throughout skin's surface
· Reduces the look of age spots
· Provides natural, healthy glow
· Contains concentrated Pitera™

As the last step of my 4 piece trial kit from Bellabox, this is a moisturiser where the texture is almost like a gel to cream form, white with a bit of translucency in colour. It feels like a lightweight cream and goes on comfortably onto the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

I certainly like the texture, though it does take some effort to scoop out the cream either with a spatula or fingers because its slighty glooey in nature. I personally feel that it may have some silicon ingredients in it, though I do not have the ingredient list.

Again, there are some massage steps to follow as indicated in the diagram below. And again, my sensitive skin is not able to take the stimulation so I gave up after more than a week of trying.
With the massage, I get spotchy skin instead of radiant and translucent skin as what we usually see on ads. Over-stimulation.

I skipped the massage steps and apply the cream like a normal product. My skin just feels smooth and soft but it does not hydrate as much as I would like.

In general, I felt that all 3 products fared much better on optimal skin condition than on bad skin. And I don't encourage using it on sensitive skin that turns red easily.

Perhaps you can try, without the massage steps and it may fare better on you. Still, despite using up all 3 tiny tubs, I am certainly not impressed with the hype surrounding it. Its just not for me. Period.

On good skin days, it absorbs well into my skin, leaving a smooth and comfortable feel.

On bad skin days, my skin still feels dehydrated, rough and bad, despite using all 3 products step by step. For something that expensive, I would want it to improve my skin texture on bad skin days, at the very least.

This product lasts the longest ( an additional week ) compared to the lotion and essence since logically, those with runny texture tends to run out fast.

I do have colleagues and ex-colleagues commenting that I have become fairer so I believe this product does help to boost the whitening and even skin-tone effects, with a little help from the serum and essence.

Beautykat indicates that its supposed to be used as a night cream but it was not mentioned on SKII website. Note that I have been using it as a day moisturiser.
