Not cruelty free
After hearing rave reviews from so many celebrities, I bought it. I have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin with some pigmentation. While my skin feels nice, it has not helped with my pigmentation and I found out that this brand is not cruelty free. I don't think I will buy this again as I have had better results with much cheaper products.
Expensive and Worth it!
It makes my complexion clear and glowing. Makes you young and beautiful.Will always come back to!
Not something I can always afford to buy (as part of my constant re-buys) but everytime I do splurge on this, I remember how much I love! It adds that extra layer of moisture and hydration that my skin just drinks up!Amazing
This smoothes out my skin and brightens it. Love the essenceNot sure what this does
I don't know if I just wasn't using this correctly or if it didn't work with the other things I was using but I didn't see a difference when I was using this (nor did I see a difference when I stopped using it). It didn't break me out or cause any problems though. Just felt it made my skin a bit more hydrated (which I imagine plain water or much cheaper toners/essences would do as well).
Read Moreleaves skin very soft but not cruelty free
The pros: leaves skin very soft which tells me it is doing what it is supposed to and helps the products to penetrate. Packaging is beautiful and will last you for months
negatives: I stupidly didn't check if this was cruelty free or not and alas it isn't so I wont be repurchasing.Get it and keep using it.
verified purchaserThis works so well for re-hydrating your skin, and for helping serums absorb better. There's just something about what it does for my skin - makes it more supple, and just gives it that extra oomph. I really think it has contributed to brightening my skin over time. Have and will continue to repurchase... I want my face to look like those rice workers hands in 40 years time.Not as good as I imagine
Most friends of mine have recommended this product to me, they said this lotion can make their skin in a good balance without new pimple. I used it more than 1 month, I didn't see an obvious effect on my face, I still have pimple...Too much hype
Bought this because everyone seems to claim that it is a 'life-changing-product'. It feels good to have an extra steps in your skincare routine, but it didn't do anything to my skin. Better spend the money on serum.Holy Grail
A must have in my beauty routine. This stuff is magic. My skin is so sensitive, this hydrates and plumps my skin and just gives it an overall really nice tone with zero irritation. Plus it's feels really luxurious. I dab it into my hands and press onto my face, personally I prefer not to waste the product on a cotton pad. This will be in my beauty routine for years to come.Holy Grail

I have used almost one month, but I don’t see a huge change of my skin and I still have new pimples on my face. I will continue to use it to check whether it’s as good as I imagine.A skincare staple
My skin type is combination and I get hormonal acne now and then (nothing too intense). This has assisted with limiting my acne to just hormonal type. My partner has sensitive skin with some redness and has started using this product as part of his routine. He is not too sure if it has made a big difference because it is a recent addition, but it has not caused anything negative.Make my skin glowing
I’ve used this for over 2 yrs now, my skin feels soft and looks glowing, the smell is a bit strange but I like it.AMAZNING! But why not cruelty free>
Best product, go the Japanese for discovering this beauty. Such a shame it is not cruelty free though! Expensive but will last a life time.The best face lotion.
Absolutely the best face lotion. The SK-II Pitera Facial Treatment Essence improve the appearance of your skin, make your skin moisturize and reduce the appearance of dark spot and light wrinkles. Love this product!Nice essence
This is a lovely essence, it is refreshing and smells lovely, but I don't see that it has made any difference to my skin after extensive use. It seems like a nice but unnecessary step in my skincare routine. As it is quite expensive, I do not think I would repurchase.Overpriced
I have normal combination skin with a few blemishes and this product made me break out in a few areas! It did make my skin feel smooth however I could get the same results wth a product that is much cheaper. I don’t understand the hype with this product.Love this!
I've been using this essence for 3 months and my skin feels a lot smoother and softer. Recommended!Not cruelty free

This essence is nice but I’m not sure if it’s worth the priceGreat
I like using this and this has improved the appearance of my skin. Will buy againI'm not sure about this one
After months of research and umming and ahhing about it, I finally took a jump into the deep end and purchased SKII essence...mostly out of curiosity.
The price is a gut punch, but I keep hearing good things about it, and my birthday is coming up, so I thought: "why not give it a try anyway?".
I have been using the essence for about 2 weeks or so now...I think I see my freckles fading,...Read MoreWeird smell but smaller pores
This essence has a weird smell but I’ve definitely noticed my pores are a lot clearer and smaller!Miracle water
Is an essence that address all your concerns. Is not an overnight result. It takes patience and time, after awhile I see overall improvement.Not bad
I got this in a set that was previously available and i can see a difference, however, there’s not THAT much difference. It does make my skin feel nice and refreshed after using but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price tagNot bad
I got this in a set that was previously available and i can see a difference, however, there’s not THAT much difference. It does make my skin feel nice and refreshed after using but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price tagGreat for oil/ combination skin
I finished my first bottle of this essence, yes it's expensive, yes the scent not that nice, but it worked well on my oil/ combination skin ! My noticed my skin less oily and pore smaller ... will try repurchaseMy holy grail product
I can confidently say that the SKII essence is going to be part of my skincare regime for years to come. Nothing makes my skin more radiant and healthy-looking, I can actually notice a difference when I stop using it – my skin becomes considerably dull and "meh". It really evens out my skin tone and leaves my skin feeling so supple and hydrated. Love it. I will recommend it forever!Amazing, liquid gold
This stuff really is liquid gold and does everything to make my face soft, supple, and clear. It's not super easy to use and I find that I have to apply a fair bit very quickly or it dries too fast. This is an issue as it is very pricey, however it works so that makes sense.not too much effect on me

I know for a fact that this product has been out on the market for years now and a lot of people swear by it. After some time i decided to purchase it and see for myself. I think overall this was a nice product that made my skin feel very supple and soft however this cannot justify the price for me since i’ve found a lot of serums and essences that do very similar things for a fraction of the pric...Read MoreHoly Grail!
Holy Grail product to even out skin tone, elasticity and texture.
I use this daily and cant live without it.
Lovely essence
Was not used to the smell at first but got used to it after a while. Love this essence, leave my skin feeling dewy and hydratedGood for a time but loses effectiveness
I used this when I had breakouts and do feel that it helped clear my skin. I stopped using when after a while as I noticed no significant difference whenever I did not use it. My skin now responds far better to chemical exfoliation (particularly Alpha H liquid gold and then moisturiser) than this liquid.Lovely essence to use morning & night.
I've been using the SK-II treatment essence for more than a year now. I find that this has calmed my skin down considerably. My skin has noticeably improved in its overall texture, I breakout less than I used to and my skin is definitely smoother and brighter. I use the essence together with the treatment lotion both in the morning and night. I would say it takes about 3 to 4 weeks before you see ...Read MoreHOLY GRAIL
I love this so much. If I don't use it, I notice that my skin is not as nice the following morning. This makes my skin hydrated, and plump and I can't live without it. At first the smell is a bit weird, but I don't notice it anymore.Essential
I’ve been using this product since I discovered it in Singapore over 10 years ago. My skin feels so soft and plump after using it. Most of my friends have had some kind of help, Botox or regular facials, not me. I just continue to use SK-II especially the essences.Good first step in the layering process
I have added this product to my morning and evening routine for a couple of weeks now and my skin is feeling very soft and smooth. I don't know if it is from this essence or due to my serum and moisturiser soaking deeper due to this essence pulling them in. Either way, I will be continuing to use this product.Essential
This has become essential for me! I love how my skin feels soft and hydrated when i use this, have recommended to manyDidn’t love!
I tried this after months of deliberating. I wish I loved it but I was disappointed. It did nothing for me. I didn’t finish the bottle.Worth every cent
I have been using Pitera Essence for a few years now and didn’t realise how good it was until I thought it was a waste of money and decided not to buy it anymore. Within a week of not using it my skin changed. It no longer felt hydrated and the glow had completely gone from my skin. This is a product that is worth every cent.The best essence ever
When I first started using this, I didn't notice any difference in my skin condition. But I still use it anyway because it's quite an expensive essence and I just felt the need to finish it (boy, the best decision ever). With constant use, morning and night, I can see great improvements on my skin after roughly 5 months - from dull, uneven skin tone to brighter and healthier skin. I even received ...Read MoreGood essence
Its feel very light on my skin, not sticky at all. Help your skin prepare for the next steps of skin care product. But minus 1 point coz it so pricey.
Wont purchase again due to the price, and currently Im using Missha one which also feel very good and just 1/3 of SK 2 price tag.A holy grail product for a reason.
When I started using this I didn't notice much difference until after a week or so. I found my skin was more hydrated, more even in tone and my makeup was sitting more smoothly - probably from the extra hydration and softness I developed from using this every day. Not much of a smell to it which is good. It's watery but lasts a long time and is well worth the high price point. Will repurchase.Didn't see a difference
I wanted to try using essences and thought no better place to start with than with this cult product. For better or worse, it didn’t deliver results beyond light hydration and some skin softening, and I was definitely expecting more with this price point.Fantastic product - gentle exfoliation
This product is wonderful. It's a gentle exfoliator without harsh scrubbing which can damage the skin. My skin feels and looks much better after using this.Amazing product - but buy the set
Wonderful product, staple in my beauty routine, but save yourself some money and buy the set which includes this product + a small lotion + mask - for the same price!!!A beautiful product
I have sensitive, acne-prone skin. I was searching for something to use before applying my creams and serums and stumbled across this - and thank god I did! It's beautifully luxurious and I have noticed my skin has evened out impeccably and it is less red/blotchy. Love this essence!Gentle on the skin
This essence is so gentle and hydrating on the skin. I like to put a few drops into my hands and press it into the skin, it feels really refreshing and soothing on my skin and although it doesn't feel like it's doing a lot, over time I have definitely noticed that my pores are more refined and my skin has a clearer texture.
It does smell a little funky but I can excuse that for how nice of a...Read MoreNot bad
Hey I’ve been using this for a week now and it took me a few days to work out how to use this properly in my own way so once I cleansed and tonned I apply this on a cotton pad soaked then rub over my whole skin I wait 5 mins or so till it’s all sinked in before applying serum or creamGentle and hydrating
I find this product quite gentle and hydrating. It feels like water on my skin. I don’t understand what is the fuss about. Maybe I have not used it long enough. It’s only 4 months ago until I purchased this bottle. Not sure it does anything for pigmentation over time. Overall this is a nice toner for my skin. I have not noticed any positive or negative change to my skin textureBest essence water serum around the world
simple ingredients, more than 90% pitera. Though no that much Hydrating, it can smooth your skin texture and give you a balanced and stable skin without AHA or something like that. Highly recommended it to all people in the normal to oily skin.Great hydrating essence
Fermented ingredients in this essence are amazing to brighten and hydrate my skin. Holy grail!great hydrator
I have combination skin and I use this product every time after show and I can see it did what it says keep my skin brighter and glow. However it doesn't smell friendly.Tested on animals - do not buy!
This is a cult beauty product, great results, worth the money yadahyadah but...the brand tests on animals. Cue disgust and sad face emoji! If anyone considering using this product has a soul (and conscience) you will find an alternative. I will not be repurchasing solely based upon this and *fun fact* notably the majority of brands marketed across Asia are tested on animals. So it's a big No from ...Read MoreGreat hydration
Love this stuff - just soaks into my skin and makes everything brighter. There are times when I'm not sure if it's doing anything, but then notice a difference once I stop using it.worth the iconic status
The essence has helped keep my skin moisturised, supple, (possibly) clear, and (I dare say!) bright. It's always been out of my price range and was lucky to be gifted a 230mL bottle. I had no idea what I was missing out on - it is now part of my daily regime.Brightening
For sure this product is effective in brightening the complexion. I also find that this helps absorb my moisturiser better. It doesn't have a sticky feeling. Very comfortable to put on the face. No stinging and no irritation. I have my teenage daughter using this and she loves it too!Loving it so far
I took the plunge and bought this product, despite being a lot more than what I’d usually spend on face products, and I don’t regret it at all. Whilst I’ve only been using it for 2 weeks so it’s hard to comment on long term benefits, my skin always feels amazing after using it. Very smooth and clear. Will finish the bottle and decide if it’s worth the money, but so far I’m very please, and yep hav...Read MoreHighly Recommended!
Fantastic product. I pat this product on as soon as I'm out of the shower. Every. Single. Time. I've seen a dramatic improvement in my skin tone and much less break outs. Highly Recommended!Wonderful for dry skin
I’ve used this on and off for years. It’s perfect as a toner and preps the skin for hydration well. It works to reduce dryness and clears the skin well.

My everyday go to/must have. Extremely moisturising and keeps skin clear, supple and softOn the fence
I used this product many years ago when it first launched. It didn't work for me then. After many raves from friends recently, i bit the bullet and bought another bottle to try it out again. Maybe my skin will react better this time. Unfortunately, it still didn't make a huge difference that warrants the price tags. Will continue to finish the bottle and most likely won't repurchase AGAIN. It prob...Read MoreReally works to brighten the skin and smoothen
My skin has definitely brightened up after using this product for a week. Many people have complimented my skin recently!It really does work
I bit the bullet and purchased this to prep my skin in the lead up to my wedding. I already have quite good skin, but have noticed a huge difference to my skin. It is smoother, brighter, and “glassier” and I’m so pleased with the results. The price is steep but for me the essence 100% delivered in everything it promised.Amazing Results
i have super dry and sensitive skin and this worked amazingly!
i received a small sample/trial sized bottle and came back the following week to purchase the full sized bottle! i am very close to finishing the bottle but unfortunately won't be purchasing it again for some time as it is a little out of my price range.

This is a product that I constantly found myself looking at, reading reviews, wondering whether I could justify the price, which you, reading this review, are no doubt also wondering.

I have really fair and sensitive skin and when I use this essence it really calms my skin. I notice with consistent use my complexion is clearer and my skin is more balanced (not as dry and less oil in my t zone).

I recommend this to friends all the time, it’s magic in a bottleHoly grail essence!
Best facial essence I have used. My dark spots has lightened up and my skin is so soft. I have tried other brands but I always come back for this.Highly recommend
Its worth every single penny. Leaves my skin brighter and glowing.Great product!
Wow, I’m not one to splurge on something this expensive, but when I got the trail size of this and noticed what it did to my skin, I had to buy it. At first, it didn’t seem like it was doing anything... it just seems like a weird smelling water, but I kept using it everyday and several weeks later (good things take time!), I noticed a dramatic reduction in the size of my pores, the appearance of a...Read MoreFeels lovely and refreshing!
This product feels so refreshing and lovely on my skin! The consistency is like water so it soaks in very quickly, and can be used with other products or under makeup. Although I love the feeling on my skin, I didn't notice any noticeable improvements. Due to that and the price, not sure if I would purchase again.really nice
It's expensive but it feels amazing on the skin. I won't use it everyday and alternate with a different essence so it can last me longer - but it doesn't disappoint when my skin needs it.Expensive but worth it
A must have for sensitive, redness prone skin. Keeps skin clear, calm and youthful. Goes a long way so worth the price tagCan't live without
I've been using this essence for the past 4 years and I absolutely love it. I've even gotten my boyfriend on to it. While it is pricey, it's the best base. In summer I don't use anything else over it in the daytime, except sunscreen. I don't break out, it doesn't clog my pores, it's just magic!great essence
I liked using this essence, it did brighten my skin over time. My skin sometimes did feel a little dry afterwards if i used too much. I do think there are other essences out there that are cheaper and work just as well.Leaves skin bright and glowing
I received this essence as a gift and have enjoyed using it. It leaves my skin feeling soft and glowing. It looks and feels like water and is weightless on the skin and is absorbed really quickly.
While I've loved using this. I find the price a bit of a deterrent and can't really justify the spend when I can find other products that work as well for much less (i.e. the Ordinary).

I've been using this since 2007. I was first given a bottle as a present and have continued using it ever since! It has a "yeasty rice" smell which I have gotten used to and I actually don't mind because I know that's the natural scent and nothing fake is added to this essence.

This I tried, and wanted to love, but it really irritated my skin, and made it a weird bumpy texture. I've since found another better product that is more effective in my opinion. I would say, don't believe the hype, get a tester to try for yourself and research what else is out there.Love It
I'm up to my second bottle, and I think I'll go again for a third. I definitely noticed a difference after using this. I have sensitive skin that goes quite red, and this product definitely calms my skin after use. I only use a few drops directly onto my hands (not a pad) and pat into my face.Stinky
I think this is a nice essence to soften the skin and prepare it for the skincare routine.
I take a few drops and pat it into my skin.

I was introduced SK-II in my late 20s and it has been my skin-saving product ever since. The price is truly high but to be honest worth every penny. I spent late nights, work stress, eating horribly, but this treatment took all signs of that away. I would definitely continue to use this as much as budget allows.Worth the splurge
Rather than buying several cheaper essence and trying this and that hoping it will work, buy this treatment essence instead. Save your time a lot.
It works wonderfully for me and I would have bought this earlier. I put ir before sleep and I woke up with a very soft and plump, something rarely happened to my dry skin.

I really didn't want to like this but I really noticed a difference with my skin. I find it's best to use it with other products in the range for the best result.

Really helps to brighten skin!Love it
Left my skin looking bright and clear. I love this product, my skin feels and looks great.Believe the hype!
I've wanted to try SK-II for a long time and finally decided to try this product. While it's definitely expensive, you use 1-2 drops (on the palm of your hand and pressed into your skin) at a time, so it lasts a lot longer than many products out there. In that sense, it's great value for money, especially when I add up all the products I've tried and thrown out after finding they didn't work with ...Read MoreGreat product
