Review: SK-II's GenOptics Spot Essence Serum

Greetings, my friends!

Bottom Line - it works! My skin glows and my dark spots were dramatically reduced.

SK-II:
SK-II is a Japanese skincare company that was founded in 1980 by Japanese scientists. During the 1970, Japanese scientists began researching powerful naturally derived ingredients that could be used in skincare products. When they observed workers at a sake brewery in Japan, they noticed while their faces appeared aged - their hands (which were submerged in fermented yeast everyday to make the sake) were smooth, youthful, and clear. The scientist began research the yeast and discovered a specific yeast strain which they felt was responsible for this youthful transformation. PITERA - the yeast strain - is now in every one of their products and has been marketed to the world as the secret to everlasting youth.

SK-II's GenOptics Spot Essence Serum:
I saw a real difference with my hyperpigmentation with this treatment. As you all know, I suffer from hyperpigmentation. As such, I'm always looking for a new hyperpigmentation treatment to help heal my dark spots faster. Before I started using it, I went to a SK-II professional and asked them to perform a skincare analysis with their special Beauty Imaging System. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a relatively high overall score - 54. This score means that my skin is healthy and in good shape and was higher then the average non-SK-II user. I used this twice a day for a little over 4 months (which is how long it took for me to use the bottle) and went back to have my skin analyzed to see whether I got a different score. I even went to another SK-II counter and they analyzed my skin without pulling up my previous profile. This time my score was 69. I was shocked! If my skin looks this great after using it for 4 months (along with their essence), what will happen if I keep using it or introduce a new SK-II product to my ritual?

Stats:
Not going to lie - this was quite expensive...even for me. This costs $225 for 1.7 oz or 50ml (which translates to $132 an ounce), but it lasted a fairly long time (a little over 4 months).

You can purchase this at SK-II's website (www.sk-ii.com), but it's also available at Neiman Marcus, Macys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, and Nordstroms.

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying.

That's it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...

Review: Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - this is a great matte daytime lotion which I think is worth a try for someone looking for a new lotion. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 : This is a great light daytime lotion. Not only does it soak in quickly and leaves a matte-ish s...
