Results After Just One Use

By FAR my favorite SK-II product. The glow is visible even after just one use. I’m in my mid-thirties and was having concerns of aging and dullness, and this makes me look so much more youthful and dewy. It soaks into the skin immediately, and the texture is light. A must have if you are looking for brighter skin.

Amazing!

Love the packaging and how this product dispenses. After adding this to my skin care routine I notice and feel that my skin looks brighter and feels firmer. I am a fan and will continue to use this!

I didn’t want to love this

Received compliments of Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I am well into my 40s and I have dry, acne prone skin. With hormonal changes, my skin has been looking dull and blah. I added this to my routine, applying it both morning and night. Much to my surprise, my skin began looking brighter, clearer, and smoother. I do have some sun spots around my eyes that seem to be a tiny bit less noticeable to my naked eye. The serum as several ingredients, including the PITERA™: SK-II's signature bio-ingredient, derived from yeast fermentation. I have many nice skin care products, but this is definitely adding something more to my routine. I can clearly see a boost of hydration to my skin, almost as though it’s absorbing better, I find the serum to be lightweight, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing. It didn’t irritate my skin or clog pores at all. This is pricey but I’m seeing results at only two weeks. This is staying in my routine

High quality anti-aging!

I really enjoyed learning about the backstory and formula of this SK-II product, which will help with anti aging! This is a wonderful facial serum that feels lightweight and slightly hydrating. No stickiness or heaviness to this creamy serum, and it doesn’t irritate me skin which can be sensitive at times. This feels like a very high quality product!

Frigging incredible

Ok what on earth is in this product? It is by far one of the best skin care products I’ve ever tried. I don’t think I can live without this and will need to repurchase it. It makes my skin look like glass. I’ve gotten SO many compliments on my skin lately! Hydrating, glowy, comfortable, amazing!!

Glowy and plumped all in a gorgeous bottle

SK-II does such a good job with formulation, and this is no exception. This is a mid weight milky toner/essence that I apply before my moisturizer. It makes my skin glowy and supple, and I noticed that my tone looks a bit brighter throughout the day. This is not a standalone moisturizer, but is a wonderful addition to my skincare regimen. Between the texture and the light scent, this product feels very luxurious. Also, I have to mention, I love the little presser component at the top of the dropper. Really smart and beautiful design!

Instant Glow & Smooth Skin Feel

I’ve been using the SK-II GenOptics UltraAura Essence Serum daily in my morning and night skincare routine, and it has been a great addition to my routine. The dispensing is very easy and controlled, the pump gives the right amount of product without wasting any, which I really like. The consistency is lightweight and silky, not thick or sticky. It spreads smoothly across my skin and feels very comfortable. In terms of skin feel, it instantly makes my skin feel soft, refreshed, and hydrated without feeling heavy. The absorbency is excellent. It absorbs quickly into my skin within seconds, so I can easily layer moisturizer and sunscreen on top. It works well under makeup and doesn’t cause any pilling. There is no residue left behind at all, no greasy or oily feeling. My skin just feels clean, smooth, and has a natural glow. With continued use, I noticed my skin looks brighter and more even, especially in areas where I usually see dullness. This serum feels very luxurious and effective. If you’re looking for a brightening serum with a lightweight feel and fast absorption, this one is definitely worth trying.
