An absolute beauty of a night time moisturiser!! I've got an oily T-zone so I was quite sceptical about using this at night, however, I must admit - it doesn't affect my oiliness, or give me spots & it does a fantastic job of hydrating my skin (along with the essence & repair c serum). I'm onto my 2nd tub of this & have a 3rd on stand-by. I love it so much I've even go my mum hooked onto it & now she swears by it. An absolute winner for me.

I have oily, acne-prone, and now aging skin. I originally bought this product to stave off the signs of aging. I'm loyal to the SKII brand because of their wonderful Pitera elixer, the "Facial Treatment Essence." But that's about all I can say for this brand and product.

I think the packaging is elegant, and I love that a little spatula was included to avoid finger dipping. The cream smells like SKII, nice and refined, but a little acidic. The texture is really light, almost like an emulsion. A little does go a long way.

I was excited to get this because it's anti-aging and SKII. However, I am quite disappointed because 1) it makes my face feel sticky after using it, 2) I do break out every time I use this product, and 3) I didn't notice any reduction in fine lines.

Perhaps this product is not for oily skin? I don't know for sure, but I know that this particular product did not absorb into my skin nor did it leave me with a matte finish.

With regards to the new breakouts, it is a 100% guarantee that there is something in the formula that doesn't agree with my skin. I have always wanted to remain loyal to SKII by using this product, but have always stopped after 1 week due to multiple new breakouts. (So sad!) To date, I have started and stopped using this product 4 times without making changes to my normal skincare routine: toner (SKII Facial Treatment Essence*), moisturizer (Olay Daily Regenerating Serum** - was trying to use SKII Advanced Signs Treatment when I ran out of Olay), SPF (Diorsnow SPF 50 PA+++ ... I already finished the SKII Advanced Protect Essence UV, which has SPF 15 or 16).

*Facial Treatment Essence is not really a toner, but it's watery, so I categorize it as toner.
**Daily Regenerating Serum is not really a moisturizer, but I love the way it's so light and non-sticky on my skin!

It's such a shame my face can't handle this product because it promises so much and is so expensive. I'm using it now as a moisturizer for my arms, elbows, knees, and legs. The usage is great in those areas because it leaves my skin very smooth, soft, and non-sticky! Too bad it's not doing the same for my face!

I love SKII the brand overall and have been using it for years. This is the most disappointing product from this brand that I have tried so far. It makes my skin oily and I don't see that usual effect I usually see from other SKII products. This was expensive too, so for that price, I am disappointed in that there were no results.

Read it on the magzine all the time, call it " the magic toner" and recommended by many celebrities. So I decided to give it a try, bought the toner along with the Advanced Signs Treatment for the day and Whitening Source Brightener Night Cream for the night, plus the eye cream. Finished half of the bottle, did not feel any difference, just like other regular toners and creams. Maybe its not for my age?? or maybe I need to use at least 4 bottles to see the result??...since the price is not cheap...i finished it, do not want to waste the $$....otherwise I probably switched to a different brand....

ok this was a little better than the treatment milk, however it didn't hydrate well enough. due to the nature of my skin, clogged prone, dehydrated, acne prone, this caused me to break out, it is pretty rich but it didn't moisturise well, instead it felt like it couldn't absorb well, the milk took a bit to absorb as well though, again, i think it is due to the texture.. it felt light yet oily.. i'm not sure how to put it but it couldnt sink in.

THis was a so so moisturiser for me I used this in my mid 20s & thus didnt really see any difference either & as it was so expensive I didnt use it regularily.

I think the only way to see results -clearly is to use this faithfully for 1 mth at least to then judge if its for you. I felt they were coming out with new & better stuff so fast that i could not keep up - upon finishing this in the 80 g tub - i think about 2-3 new SKII products were already launched making me so left behind i didnt pursue this line anymore.

I think only the facial essence & the facial treatment masks will be my repurchase items from this brand.

I have quite oily skin in summer so this was a great lightweight moisturiser that didnt leave a sheen. In winter though I did not find it sufficiently moisurising as my skin gets quite dry. I also didnt see any anti-ageing results, my skin was much the same as before. Its an ok moisturiser, good for people with greasy skin but for the average results I found it hard to justify paying so much I wont purchase it again.

This is a very good night time moisturiser for me. It's quite a big tub actually and I have been using it for about 1 year and there is still a lot left. No breakouts/ clogged pores from it. Skin always feels soft and smooth the next morning.

Normally im oily senstive skin type. but ive been orally on isotretoin for some times and my face just stops producing sebum. my face's been dry and my only concern is the fine lines that starts to develop visibly on my forehead. So ive been looking and trying every products possible to rid them.

I would rate it a 4.0 to 4.5.
1/ The texture is cream but light.
2/ I dont detect any fragrance.
3/ Need a little to spead all over face
4/ Looks and feels greasy when I first apply but after i pat my fingers all over my face, the cream absorbs right away and leave my face a matt finish. (should be good for summer time, not winter)

BUT
1/ It gives me a stinging and burning sensation right after I put it on my face. I need to pat it to make it absorb, but the burning sensation lingers for another 5 mins.
2/ The next morning my face looks okay, but I start to have dry patches and when i look closer its a burn! all along my cheeks.

I stop using it after one night. I will still keep it for when I stop taking isotretoin because my face will become oily again and i think this cream will totally help balance my face and keep my sebacous glans normal state. My skin will become more tolerant when im not on dose.

Will keep updating

My suggestion: if ure an oily girl, give it a try. I think it would be a good moisturizer, but wont do the line erasing job though. (Or maybe the burning sensation means its fighting up the lines?)

I like this product.It gives me good moisturizrd and soft skin.
But some chemical ingredients in this product are comedogenic.

But I don't break out from this yet though I have acne prone skin.
I'll undate this later. :)

After finished my Jurlique range i decided to looked around for a new skincare range, while i was in Hong Kong the SK II have the promotion of free gifts and stuff and i must admit that the advertisement of SKII is everywhere and very inviting.. so i bought the whole range.

I was excited to tried it all at once but my face seems to dislike the products, after 2 weeks my skin was mouisturize but i started to get all the breakouts and it was red. So i stoped using it but after read the reviews and the sales consultant from SK II told me it was normal reaction since the skin clearing out, and thinking of how much money that i spend on these products, i decided to try it again but this time one product at a time, the cleanser and the essence was fine but when i tried the AST i start getting the same reaction again, it gives me all the small bumps and became red after 2-3 weeks. I think this AST is to strong for my skin (combination oily in T, and dry in cheeks and also sensitive) i guess a good skincare doesnt take 1-2 months to see the visible results. Such a waste of money :-( I think i will give this product to my mum, maybe it will works better for her..

I tried 2 tubs of sample on this product and cant get enough of it. I think I might have found my HG moisturiser once again. Been using many different brands but nothing that balances the dry cheek and oily T-zone but SK-II advanced signs treatment works. I was pretty baffled at first thinking maybe it will wear out after a week or so but my skin has never been clearer for a long time. The texture is creamy, milky and light. Skin feels comfortable upon application and the best bit is, it doesnt cling on to the skin like some rich moisturiser does. Only grub is the packaging but I think a tube wouldnt look as classy as a chic red tub with silver lid. Now I am going to finish my last 12g sample and buy the full 80g tub - very expensive but if it works who am I to complain?

The Advanced Signs Treatment is my HG moisturizer. I have combo skin with oily t-zone and dry cheeks and this is the only moisturizer that seems to help balance me out. Hydrating enough for my cheeks and light enough for the t-zone. Love it. I've been using it consistently for over 3 years now and used to have to ask relatives to send it to me from Asia. Yes, it's pricey, but for me, I'll keep buying!

been my favourite moisturizer for a long long time. it really worked well with my skin as it somehow cured my bad acne. it also changed my skin type from oily to normal. i think the price is reasonable as it contains almost twice the amount of a normal moisturizer. more than happy to buy it again.

This is an excellent product. It provides hydration and feels so fresh and cool when you first apply. When I wash my face the next morning, my face feels really plump and moisturised. I have 2 gripes about this product however. One is the price - it's sooo expensive! And two, the packaging is not very convenient. It's in a jar that you have to dip your fingers into. Not very hygienic! A pump or squeeze tube would be better... This is my 2nd favourite SKII product (after the Facial Treatment Essence). I will only repurchase my wallet is fat. But otherwise, I will stick to the FTE.

This may be laughably expensive and inappropriately packaged, but it is one of the few facial moisturizers my face can tolerate without getting pimply. I apply it at night and it sinks in relatively quickly. I wake up looking rested and glowing, no blotchiness, just smooth. It goes against my nature to be sucked in by hype and "miracle ingredients", but what can I say, the products have convinced me. I just hope I never have to pay retail.
