An essence that helps to even out skin texture and reactivates dull skin to glow from within. With SK-II’s exclusive Aura Bright Cocktail EX, a combination of Pitera® and Pixel White™.
A friend has helped me to get the SKII Aura Whitening Kit EX for $100, instead of the usual $199, so it was a good chance for me to try out their SKII Cellumination Essence EX.
In the kit, it contains Facial Treatment Essence 30ml, SKII Cellumination Essence EX 30ml and Whitening Source Derm-Revival Mask 1 piece.
SK-II Cellumination Essence is said to improve skin tone and skin texture for healthy and brighter skin care results. It contains SK-II exclusive ingredient De-Melano P3C to improve dull and yellowish skin tone, hydrate and refine skin's surface in order to boost up the natural and healthy-looking glow from inside out. It also helps to firm and diminish the appearance of discoloration for youthful appearance.
I have tried the Facial Treatment Essence many years ago but just isn't too overly impressed with its performance. With this kit, I paired up the Facial Treatment Essence and SKII Cellumination Essence EX with Biotherm 48h Replenishing Gel, to give me the much needed hydration.
I have been using both products every morning and a Vitamin C serum in the night for close to 1.5 months. The facial treatment prep the skin for the cellumination essence to work more effectively.
Usually, I pour the facial essence into my cupped palms and pat all over the skin, waited for a few minutes before cellumination essence application.
The facial treatment essence seems to hydrate the skin yet it doesn't penetrate deeply. The hydration is insufficient for my skin type.
The Cellumination Essence is stored in a bottle with a dropper dispenser that dispenses the milky essence with 2 to 3 drops, for my whole face. After it gets absorbed into the skin, it left a powdery feel on it.
However, both products failed to hydrate my skin and I experience flakiness, with a normal moisturizer and without any moisturisers. In the end, Biotherm hydrating moisturizer works well with it, providing the last step of hydration after the whitening benefits.
Somehow, the powdery feel disappears when I don't pair it with the Facial Treatment Essence. The texture of SKII Cellumination Essence EX is like a thicker milky essence when I paired it with Orbis Lotion M instead of the SKII Facial Treatment Essence.
I see results - radiant skin with a soft focus to my skin. Skin looks smoother and more even-toned. The slight pigmentation on my skin seems to lighten slightly and my skin just looks clearer and "cleaner".
But after using for more than 3 months, I no longer can see the radiance on my skin. Could it be that my skin had grown accustomed to the product that its no longer that effective?
