SK2 is so expensive, is it really useful?

SKII’s positioning is actually a high-end positioning, but it has the confidence to rely on the Procter & Gamble Group. The P&G Group’s top skin care brands are not just words, and SKII is not afraid of being disrupted by the low-price market. The reason is Pitera. The core ingredient Pitera cannot be copied by other brands. Even if it claims to be from the same place of origin as SKII, it is just talk.

So does it really make sense that SKII is so expensive?

enn, yes!

Xiaoka himself also used fairy water to improve his oily skin to mixed skin. He used about 3 and a half bottles. This is the power of SKII

And many of SKII’s single products are very good, almost all of them have good reputations, so Xiaoka will also talk about those single products of SKII which I think are very, very good ① SKII cleansing balm

One of the originators of amino acid facial cleansers. It is very mild and has good cleaning power. Its foaming ability is stronger than other amino acid surfactants. It is not very irritating. And... it causes acne? What is the facial cleanser? It won’t cause acne, and it won’t feel slippery or tight after washing

It has a light rose scent and some moisturizers added to make your hair less dry after washing, but...someone actually complained about SKII being so Expensive facial cleanser actually contains preservatives. It is normal, and it is very normal. What is normal cannot be normal anymore. If there is no preservative, it will expire in a few days, and the overall content of the preservative system is actually not much. It is compounded with paraben esters, and the content is very low, and there is basically no problem with non-resident skin care products like this one. ② SKII Fairy Water

It is classic and a star item. The ingredients are very simple. Basically, as long as you are not allergic to Pitera, you can basically use it, but it is close to 0 Moisturizing effect, so follow-up moisturizing work must be done well, so this is not suitable for dry skin

It is not suitable for sensitive skin. The fairy water will have a certain exfoliating effect and can cause changes in the stratum corneum, so It is also not suitable for sensitive skin with very thin skin, and... the fairy water is originally a product customized for oily skin, regulating and improving the balance of water and oil... for other skins, use other products! ③ SKII small light bulb

The small light bulb is really good. It is not only Pitera + niacinamide, but also mixed with other auxiliary ingredients to maximize the effect of niacinamide. However, it will have an instant whitening effect, that is, it adds a small amount of titanium dioxide to the formula. There is no problem in using it, but it will give people an instant whitening effect

This is what many brands now use Use it carefully, but it’s not a big deal

The whitening effect is good, but you must wear sunscreen, otherwise even the whitening ingredients will make you unable to regain your whiteness ④ SKII Big Red Bottle

< p>

There are many kinds of textures. The lightweight one is Xiaoka’s favorite. The moisturizing effect is OK, the skin rejuvenation effect is OK, the follow-up moisturizing ability is also OK, the overall system is also good, and the technology is definitely passable. Yes, it is effective in improving certain skin problems

——END——

In fact, in addition to being expensive, expensive things still have a lot of good reputations. For example, this sk2 fairy water, many people use it with mediocre results. In fact, there is one main reason, that is, the method of use is wrong. Let's put it this way, a 75ml bottle of fairy water will be used up in two weeks if used quickly, and may not be used up in three months if used slowly. But like this kind of fairy water, it can only be used every time. Only when you use a certain amount will it be effective~

Take me as an example. The first time I used the fairy water, it was extremely expensive, so I was reluctant to use it. Every time It feels like a knife when I pour it on a cotton pad, and it feels like a lot of waste, so I use it very sparingly, and often just pat it with my hands, but the effect is not very good, it doesn't brighten my skin tone or close my lips at all. Get the effect. Until one day, my hands were shaking too much, so I wiped my skin with fairy water over and over again, especially in some areas that are prone to dullness. I applied it several times more. When I got up the next morning, I really noticed something. My face looks much brighter, which is a special surprise.

In fact, when it comes to whether it is worth buying, it mainly depends on personal opinion. If you are willing to invest in yourself, then I suggest that you still use this fairy water, because it is definitely good for the skin, and it is also a first-class expert in closing mouth. But if you think this fairy water is more expensive and the effect is not that obvious, then don’t buy it, because you will really feel more and more uncomfortable and dislike using it less and less.

The most classic products of SK-II are undoubtedly the fairy water, the small light bulb in a colorful bottle, the small silver bottle for light spots, the small red bottle, and the big red bottle facial cream. Although they are said to be easy to use , but not everyone has effective results after using it.

SK-II is a mid-to-high-end skin care product in today’s skin care industry. Except for the Diamond Collection series, the others are not considered luxury skin care products. The ingredient that makes SK-II so affordable is Pitera, which in layman’s terms is the hydrolyzate filtrate of saccharomycopsis. It contains a variety of recognized effective skin care ingredients, including amino acids (glutathione), small peptides, and minerals. , organic acids (nucleotides, which have the effect of promoting cell regeneration and repair, and antioxidant), inorganic acids and other ingredients. Pitera, the star ingredient, is found in almost all SK-II skin care products. Currently, there are mainly the following skin care series:

1. Pitera Classic Series

The star products are fairy water and ex-boyfriend mask. The same series of products also include skin rejuvenating clear lotion (secondary cleansing effect), repairing essence, hydrating spray, lotion, cream, makeup remover and other products. When used together with the Fairy Water, the Skin Rejuvenating Clarifying Lotion may slightly exfoliate and inactivate the stratum corneum, but it can improve the health of the stratum corneum and improve its ability to retain moisture.

Fairy water and essence are very suitable for oily and mixed skin. There will be obvious improvement effects after use, while healthy normal skin and dry skin will not have obvious effects. In particular, the feeling of using the fairy water is not as comfortable as the Yuemu Zhiyuan Mushroom Water. Ex Boyfriend is suitable for all skin types and is highly recommended for women to use before important events such as weddings and dates.

2. Youthful and radiant series (Youth Anti-Wrinkle Series, Skin Firming Anti-Wrinkle Series)

The main ingredient is still Pitera, with some other active ingredients added. It focuses on anti-aging and anti-wrinkle, and its efficacy is better than that of many European and American brands.

This series is very versatile and suitable for people of almost all ages over 25 years old.

There is also a skin-repairing and nourishing essence cream with an upright bottle, which is more mellow and viscous in texture and more effective in It is firming, anti-wrinkle and reduces fine lines.

The spots still work.

4. Golden Diamond Ultimate Repair Series

Focusing on high-concentration Pitera repair series There are a lot of essences, essences, face creams, and eye creams for skin. The price is a little more than twice that of ordinary big red bottles. It is positioned as a lady-level luxury skin care. Overall, the price/performance ratio is slightly weaker. If you have a full wallet, you can consider it. Hongshu Internet celebrity Li Jiaqi also said that the cost-effective choice is Dahongbottle.

5. Men’s skin care and repair series

To put it simply and crudely, if you send For skin care products for men over 25 years old, if you really don’t know how to choose, just choose SK-II. You can’t go wrong.

Many people know the famous SK-II, but sneer at OLAY products. In fact, both brands are skin care brands under the Procter & Gamble Group. , the patented technology is universal, and the product appearance design and texture classification are also the same.

For example, the small silver bottle shape of SK-II’s spot lightening bottle is now used in OLAY’s high-end essence series of skin serums, and even uses a single production line. ; The popular facial cream comes in two textures; the ingredients of Pitera are separated, which are very close to the specific ingredients in OLAY's mid-to-high-end series. SK-II and OLAY launched pudding cream at the same time... The two brands have different market positioning, different price points, and even slightly worse usability... After all, people who are used to using SK-II will not buy OLAY. People who use OLAY need to grit their teeth before buying SK-II.

In any case, what suits you is the best. No matter how popular SK-II is, others No matter how useful it is, it is better to experience it yourself and find a product that suits you.

PS: OLAY will feel that I have been hacked by the author hahahahaha...

The great effect of fairy water depends on its core ingredient pitera( Galactosaccharomyces-like bacteria fermentation product filtrate), this ingredient is currently only available in Japan, and it is rare and expensive, so its cost itself is still very precious. Piera is a natural yeast extract that is rich in vitamin B complex, minerals, amino acids and other ingredients. Currently, there is only one production line for fairy water, which is located at the Shiga factory next to Lake Biwa in Japan. Because only the water there can brew pitera, the core ingredient of SK-II, so theoretically, no matter where you buy skii fairy water, it comes from In the same factory!

1. The effect of Pitera: luster/transparency

After using the fairy water for a period of time, the skin will feel very transparent and glow with a good complexion.

2. The function of Pitera: exfoliation

An important role of Pitera’s ingredients is to promote the renewal of old dead skin cells. Different from ordinary exfoliating products, it is more gentle and gentle. , moisturizing things silently. If you have oily skin, you can pour fairy water on a cotton pad and gently wipe your face. Combination skin can be used on local oily areas.

3. The effect of Pitera: water and oil balance

Fairy water is also called: the mother of oily skin. Because it has a certain oil control effect, it is very suitable for oily and combination skin. Skin water and oil balance is the most important foundation for healthy skin.

If you look at the ingredients alone: ??yeast metabolites, there are also some similar products in skin care products, such as: L'Oreal Group's Lanc?me Little Black Bottle Body Serum, L'Oreal Youth Code Body Serum, The ingredients in the small brown bottle of Estée Lauder Group's muscle essence include: bifid yeast fermentation product lysate. It is also a high-quality yeast ingredient. However, their content types and concentrations are completely different, so there is no real substitute.

Let’s not talk about other skin care products of Sk2. Their flagship product, Fairy Water, is useful. This one is really useful! Not that women say it works, but it really does!

As long as you buy the fairy water from regular channels (official website and counters), it is very effective especially for combination skin, oily skin, and skin prone to closed acne. If you have combination or dry skin, If you have sensitive skin, don’t use it. It’s too effective at controlling oil, and you have to be careful if you have sensitive skin. There are still many people who are allergic to it.

More than 90% of p brothers are not boasters. The oil control effect is amazing. I have mixed oil skin and the oil is peeled off at a speed visible to the naked eye. I used to touch my face in the morning and it was very oily. Now I touch it in the morning. The face is very tender.

Hope this helps.

Personally, I don’t think it’s suitable for me. I have sensitive skin with thin stratum corneum, so it’s useless for me, and I don’t particularly like the taste, hahaha. Whether it is suitable or useful depends on the individual's skin and whether it is suitable for this brand's products. However, the whitening effect of sk2's whitening and spot-bleaching essence is quite obvious.

Generally speaking, this brand is more suitable for people with oily skin and large pores, and the skin condition is also relatively healthy. Use with caution on dry skin, combination dry skin, and sensitive skin, especially those with thin stratum corneum. It is not recommended. The anti-spot essence is also relatively dry to use, so you should basically use a moisturizing essence before use.

Fairy water has a certain effect in shrinking pores and can also cleanse the skin. It is very suitable for oily skin.

Big red bottle facial cream, suitable for young skin. It is mainly used to moisturize and condition the cuticle. You must rehydrate before use. If you use it too much, it will easily rub into the mud, and the smell is not particularly good.

I feel that the eye cream is not very effective, and the effect of removing fine lines is not particularly obvious. The Golden Diamond Eye Cream also feels relatively useless to me, and the price/performance ratio is not particularly high.

I love combination skin! The long-term repurchase is the small red bottle of fairy water with small bulbs! There are no disadvantages except that it is a little more expensive.

sk2 is so expensive. Whether it is useful or not depends on your specific skin type.

1. pitera

This ingredient is the core ingredient of sk2. It is currently only available in Japan because the ingredient itself is relatively precious. It is a natural yeast extract that can improve the condition of the skin. Its main function is to adjust the balance of water and oil, making the skin healthy and translucent.

Currently, for sk2’s products, the ratings for oily skin are higher than those for dry skin, and the ratings for healthier skin are higher than those for sensitive and damaged skin. Generally speaking, it is suitable for oily skin to adjust the water-oil balance.

I have not used many sk2 products. Here I only talk about a small set of 690rmb that I have used. People who are interested in trying sk2 can also buy this small set. Try using the suit. I have oily and acne-prone skin, so this is more subjective and is for reference only.

1.sk2 facial cleanser

Amino acid cleanser has a very light smell and is quite pleasant. This is an amino acid cleanser, and its cleaning power cannot be said to be average but rather poor. It's more suitable for dry or damaged skin. Overall, it's not cost-effective. It didn't work after I tried it.

2.sk2 Fairy Water

The set I bought comes in a small 75ml bottle. I have been using it morning and night for more than a month without using wet compresses. Generally speaking, it is absorbed very well on the face. I have oily skin, and I feel that the oiliness is somewhat reduced when I use it. After using it, my skin feels a little brighter and yellowish. You can try this one.

3. sk2 Qingying Lotion

The official recommendation is to use it before sk2. It has the effect of promoting the absorption of subsequent products and regulating the stratum corneum. It's much cheaper than sk2 fairy water, but I don't recommend buying it because it has no use.

4. sk2 Big Red Bottle Facial Cream

I feel that this cream is more suitable for lightly mature skin or mature skin. I still use it. A bit burdensome. The texture is not very greasy, absorbs well and feels moisturizing.

5. sk2 Big Eye Eye Cream

This product also has a slightly greasy texture, but it is well absorbed around the upper eye area. I repurchased the large bottle. It is effective in removing dry lines around the eyes and repairing problems around the eyes after staying up late. I personally feel it is better than Lanc?me and Estee Lauder.

6. sk2 Ex-boyfriend Facial Mask

I strongly recommend this one. The most purchased product from sk2 is the facial mask. Although the price is really expensive, But when my skin is unstable and prone to breakouts, this repairing and calming product is really good. I buy a few tablets every year and use them to deal with some skin problems. It is very good, but it has no moisturizing effect.
