- se********Dry SkinSensitive SkinInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityRecommendedJun 29, 2025
As a 30-something with dry, sensitive skin: ✔️ SK-II's intense fragrance - is it Japanese tree lilac? Bought it mainly because it's packed with patented ingredients. ✔️ It's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it product. Feels tingly every application. On my second bottle and still get that tingling and redness. Surprisingly, my skin feels soft the next day. Initially caused some small blemishes too. The scent is extremely off-putting - not a fan! Causes a burning sensation for all skin types - two people with dry skin and one with oily skin all experienced discomfort. Can trigger small blemishes and acne. Apparently, this can happen if your skin doesn't agree with fermented ingredients. Doesn't seem to improve deep dryness. Make sure to apply a moisturizer after some time. Leaves skin feeling extremely parched. If fermented ingredients don't suit you, it can cause small blemishes. Even though it generally works for me, I wonder if I'm just too sensitive to the ingredients. My skin flared up again. My soothing routine: Missha FTE Artemisia (weekly exfoliation) + Celllab + Wellage (serum and moisturizer) + Avène (add Cicalfate if it gets too irritated, as an SOS treatment) - ls****Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessRednessRecommendedJun 8, 2025
The watery consistency allows for quick absorption. It's said that those in their 20s-30s should use 50%, while those in their 40s should use 90%. As a first-time user, I started with 50%. The absorption is excellent. I let it absorb about 3 times before applying my usual products. The next morning during cleansing, my skin texture felt smoother. Even after applying makeup, it didn't look cakey and felt great. It feels like the oil and moisture balance is just right. I have combination dehydrated skin, so my U-zone is usually dry. This product significantly reduced the dryness. At first, I felt a slight tingling or burning sensation, which I think was due to my skin being dry. Now, I don't experience that at all. The only downside is the scent. It has a slightly fermented smell, similar to the old SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. However, the scent disappears once you apply other skincare products. For areas needing soothing, I've tried using it as a cotton pad mask and also layered it for added benefits, which has shown great synergistic effects. - tn******Oily SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedMay 30, 2025
First off, it's incredibly lightweight, moisturizing, and absorbs well into the skin. It's perfect as a base layer before applying makeup! The scent might be a bit divisive. While I enjoyed it, the fragrance was a tad strong for my liking. Try using it as an overnight skin pack before bed for best results. - jh*********Dry SkinSensitive SkinMay 26, 2025
Even though my skin tends to be very dry, this absorbs well. It has an incredibly watery consistency. No matter how much I apply, my skin still feels dry. I received this as a gift, but I have no intention of repurchasing. I layer it about 3 times before moving on to the next step in my routine. - dl**********Normal SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsApr 12, 2025
It absorbs well and goes on smoothly. I'd say it's decent overall, and it seems to work for more than half of the users. Oh, the scent is really... intense. It's the kind of smell that makes you think you shouldn't be applying it to your skin. - jh******Oily SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDead Skin CellsRecommendedApr 11, 2025
It absorbs well and you can feel your skin becoming more hydrated! Since it's 100% liquid, I recommend applying it with a cotton pad. As others have mentioned, the scent might be a bit unpleasant at first, but it dries quickly so it's not a major issue. - mi******Dehydrated SkinAtopic SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsInner DrynessRecommendedFeb 26, 2025
The texture applies lightly and absorbs quickly! It seems perfect for summer use. I stopped using it for a while due to the scent, but I'm giving it another try now, and it's definitely worth enduring the smell! My complexion is gradually becoming more even and healthier-looking. I'm amazed at how much my skin has improved - it feels somehow softer, and I even used it on my body, which now feels smoother too. I recommend other users to persevere with the scent and apply it consistently for 1-2 weeks. First off, the fragrance is too strong... And since the scent really isn't to my liking, I find myself reluctant to use it. For my combination dehydrated skin, the texture was too light. - a0**********Combination SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesDead Skin CellsRecommendedJan 31, 2025
I've been using this product for over a month now! (The photo was taken when I first received it for review purposes.) My skin is slightly sensitive, but I didn't experience any tingling or irritation at all. I loved how hydrating it was and how well it absorbed. There was hardly any stickiness too. Hmm, the most disappointing aspect of this product is definitely the scent. I have a sensitive nose, and the smell is not to my liking at all - it's rather unpleasant. However, don't worry too much as the scent mostly disappears after a while. - sq*****Oily SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsEnlarged PoresDead Skin CellsRecommendedJan 20, 2025
I've been using this product consistently since receiving it on November 19, 2024. It's the first step in my skincare routine, with a water-like consistency that flows easily without any stickiness. While it can be tricky to dispense just the right amount, the large size is generous - even after two months of liberal use, I still have over half the bottle left. Initially, you might find the fermented whiskey scent a bit off-putting. However, the smell dissipates quickly once applied to the skin and doesn't linger when the cap is closed. I received this as part of a promotion, but I find the regular price a bit steep for what it offers. For a real boost to your skin's condition, try mixing it with Acnes medical mist in your base skincare routine. You'll notice visible improvements in your complexion. - du*****Combination SkinSensitive SkinAtopic SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedJan 17, 2025
I won this product from Hwahae and tried it for the first time. My skin is combination, with some areas being extremely dry. At first, I was a bit skeptical but decided to give it a try. The scent was slightly musty, which wasn't my favorite, but it dissipated quickly so it didn't bother me much. The texture is like water, very fluid, but it absorbs well into the skin. I applied multiple layers to ensure thorough absorption. The more I applied, the smoother and more refined my skin felt, so I'm planning to continue using it. The watery texture initially made it feel like it evaporated too quickly. If I had to nitpick... My routine is to apply this right after cleansing to maintain a comfortable skin condition. I've used over half the bottle, and I can feel my skin becoming more refined and smoother. People have been complimenting me on my improved complexion. I'd really like to recommend this to everyone!
