the "holy water' of skincare {SK-II Facial Treatment Essence review}

Referred to as the "holy water" of skincare, SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, is one of my new holy grail skincare products at the moment. All it takes is a sprinkle in the palm of your hands and pressed into the skin and voila, dewy moisturized skin is at your finger tips. But hold on a sec! Don't expect instant results, I've been using this since January and it took about over a week to see a difference. What was the difference? Being that the weather is cold and dry here in Canada (minus the time I was away in Colombia) I noticed that my skin didn't feel as dry. Instead this product gives me glowy hydrated skin and I actually don't feel the need to wear foundation, instead a tinted moisturizer is all I've been using lately. Yes, I have mentioned that due to my eye surgery I haven't worn makeup except as of late, however, I also believe that this product contributed to evening out my skin tone. SK-II as most beauty junkies know is a splurge item! Thankfully I received this product for review (no, I'm not paid to post a positive review nor receive commisson) and since I'm almost finished my bottle I hope I get a layover soon in Asia so that I can purchase another. If only SK-II could come-up with a travel-friendly spray bottle.
And the secret ingredient:
Pitera, the seemingly magical ingredient found in all SK-II products, helps restore vital balance by promoting the skin's natural 28-day surface renewal process. This singular blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids produces a seemingly miraculous rebirth of skin's appearance. Over 90% pure Pitera, Facial Treatment Essence is the 'heart' of every SK-II skincare ritual. Rely on it daily to moisturize instantly, and renew skin's surface for a smoother texture. Skin absorbs the benefits almost on contact. The result is supple, smooth, radiant skin. (source:SK-II)
 Have any of you tried SK-II products? I'm curious about their other products too.

  6. You convinced me. I splurged. My face needs it with how awful this weather has been. I purchased from their online store since they're including a deluxe travel set. Thanks so much for the review!
