SK2 ,stempower

This is one of the SK2 star products.After 5 times of revolution, this is the lastest one-stempower

SK2 claims that this product is formulated with the revolutionary stem acanax complex that penetrates deep to improve skin from within.Pore to be less visible in 1 day.Improve radical firmness in 10 days.So you can feel the youthful beauty of 10 years ago.

The new ingredient in this product is acanthopanax senticosus root extract(stem cell).It claims to reduce the sign of aging ,but the research is only being done by P&G so the efficiency is uncertained.In my opinion,I do not think a plant stem cell which has a different genetic with human is able to help in regeneration of human epithelium cells,the most it can do is to provide antioxidantive effect.However,the niacinamide is concentrate enough to perform the anti aging effect.Tocopherol acetate is the anti oxidant to neutralize the oxidative stress from the environment ,such as pollution,stressful lifestyle ,drinking and sleep after midnight.Unfortunately,the jar packaging may cause the antioxidant effect of the product to decline after some time because of the antioxidant is being oxidized by the oxygen in the atmosphere.Methylparaben and propylparaben  are located at the middle of the ingredient list,which is considered as concentrated for preservative,but I don’t get allergic to this product.Last but not least,like other sk2 products,pitera is one of the main ingredients.

This moisturizer has a emulsion like texture,odourless and it has a very very light texture ,the lightest cream I ever found but is good enough to trap the moisture within the skin .=)

The tips to select a moisturizer which suite you the most is that after application it cannot dry up immediately,it also cannot leave your skin with a thick layer of greasy feeling,instead it should properly hydrate the skin by leaving a thin shield of protection layer to trap the moisture within your skin.It qualifies all the criterias for me~!After using for 1day,I definitely found the the skin texture has been more refined instantly,properly has to thank for the crosspolymer in this product which plays a role to fill up the skin`s imperfection.After one month of usage,I found the hydration level  of the skin has improvement as well as the overall tightness of the skin.Sadly,my fine smile line is still there .=(

Pros:hydrate and refine the skin,light enough to be used on oily skin,nice packaging with a classical sk2 red color

Cons:cannot target deep line,expensive and do not last for a long time

Application:after toner n essence,take an appropriate amount(1 com diameter) with spatula on the palm.Dot on the forehead,cheek and chin and gently spread it over the face.

Available in all sk2 counters with RM352 for 50 ml or RM 519 for 80 ml,the price has increased a lot within this 2 years.I bought mine in a stem power set,RM 352 for a 50 ml jar ,30 ml FTE and one piece of lifting mask.
