SK II Cellumination Essence EX Review
I bought this SK II Aura Whitening Set EX earlier last month and this set consisted of a mini Facial Treatment Essence, a piece of Whitening
Source Derm-Revival Mask and a Cellumination Essence EX 30g. At $199 for 3 items, I find it a good deal as the 30g of the essence alone already retails at $199. I did not pay the full price for it as I had some shopping vouchers and also my BF sponsored a little.

Description
The new SK-II Cellumination Essence EX takes a great formula and makes it better with the new Pixel WhiteTM
whitening ingredient. Improve your skin from the cellular level and
experience highly defined, aura bright skin in just 4 weeks*.
I got a sample of this essence as a GWP with my other SK II purchases while I was in Hong Kong last year. It took me about 3 weeks to used up the sample as I only used a small dollop each time and I only used it in the mornings.
Pros
The essence absorbs fast and does not left a sticky after feel (which I detest). My skin feels moisturized after usage and gradually my skin now is no longer dehydrated like how it was in the past.
I also find that my skin looks more radiant and refined than before. But then, it is still no where near perfect as my face still bares the ugly marks of post acne scarring. Not to mention that my skin suddenly became cranky early this week...... I have a few angry pimples glaring at me each time I look into the mirror. :(
Another plus point is that ,this essence does not ball up under moisturizer, sunblock or makeup. Which I find to be every important, as these little white balls will ruin the makeup and it doesn't look nice with all those little balls all over the face.
Cons
I find the price frightfully expensive, as it cost $199 for 30ml. Having used it for about 4 weeks already, I have not seen the whitening effect yet.
This is my typical morning skin care routine these days...
1) Naruko acne clay cleanser
2) Kiehl's Calendula toner
3) SKII FTE
4) SKII Cellumination Essence
5) spot treatment
6) Sonfia beaute Sunblock
I will usually skip moisturizer in the mornings if I plan on using Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer as my foundation. I find my skin will become too oily if I were to use another moisturizer before using the tinted moisturizer. If I am not using the tinted moisturizer, I will use Kiehl's Yerba Mate Tea Lotion before sunblock.
Thanks for reading!! Bye~~~!!
