As-salamu alaykum and hello
everyone ♡ . How has Chapter 2
of the year been going for you guys? Have you seen my previous post on my SK-II
journey? I am going to give you a full insight of my journey with this miracle
water. Many have said that this Pitera essence
works miracles for them. If you don't know what Pitera Essence is, you can
check out my first introduction post here, (link) and how I got my skin analyzed for problems here, (link).
So I have been using this since
the 1st of January, as part of my resolution to keep my skin better. Since this
is a Holy Grail product to most women out there, I am going to give this
miracle water a shot. So I changed my skincare routine for the
purpose of this product. I cleanse my face using a facial cleanser, just
switching from one to another (from a mild scrubbing one and a foaming one) and
then I pat dry my face. This is where my SK-II routine starts. I start with
the toner (the one in the small bottle), wiping my face
using cotton pads and then use the essence just like a toner since the
texture of this miracle water is watery.
First
impression. This essence Well, first
thing I notice that 3–4 drops of this is fairly enough to cover the entire
face, but I like to use 4–5 drops just to make my cotton pads more moist.
Second, yes I got to admit it since I am very picky with my skin care
scent. This Miracle water does have a slightly sour scent to it. I am still new
to this, we will see if I can get over the smell later. It is not too strong
but you can smell it after wiping your face. It absorbs fast
and your skin can feel a lil sticky for a few seconds and
then your skin soon feels supple! I am not lying! During my lazy days, I
kind of skip my moisturizer routine. After cleansing, I just wipe my face using
this essence and I feel good to go. I have not used the mask yet, I am going to
use it after 1 month or so. Yep, there will be a final post on my
whole verdict on this product. 14 days to me is too short to
claim its "miracle" power so stay tuned for another post.

AFTER
My thoughts
after 14 days. WOAH to my bare skin. Haha. I don't know if you can tell but there
is a different skin tone to both pictures. I have tried to take so many pictures but all of them turn out the same. I am not sure if
skincare can make your skin look better in camera? Probably, because I find
after using this essence, every time I took a selfie, my skin is brighter. Also you guys know that having nice skin is
not about being fairer. Clear pretty skin is about having that translucent
clean skin which looks like you have this soft textured skin and visible fair
skin. Too much glow and yellowish skin tone can make you look dull.
After 14 days of using
it, I can't really show in the picture but I feel my skin is less oily, or maybe not oily anymore. Like seriously and I am not trying to hard
sell this product. When I woke up in the morning, my skin is not oily, not over hydrated (sticky face) and my
face is brighter. Especially on my forehead,
it looks so obvious because I have a big forehead and it really gives that nice
glow on my skin. What I cannot see is that my spots are pretty much the same but my redness has been totally
reduced. Foundation and makeup application in the morning is easier. My skin is smoother; there are some pores but
they’re not that obvious. My skin is a little firmer too. Overall, I think I
have to give this more days of testing to see the final result.
I will also practice
good diet and healthy living. I have been stressed for the past week because of
my Final Year Presentation. I hope I can continue using this with a good
lifestyle and see how this will make my skin healthier. See you next on my next
post on healthy eating and my skincare routine (deeper explanation on my
routine)!

What do
you think of my after skin after Facial Treatment Essence?
This has been on my radar for a while now. Still searching for the best skincare regime for my oily, acne prone skin. And you skin does looked glowy now! I couldn't agree more that having fair skin is not everything and can actually make our face looking flat but having healthy and even skin surface is the main concern to me.
ReplyDeletep/s: I laughed so hard at the "because I have big forehead". haha!
Thank you! yeap, i want a glowy and radiant skin, not fair skin. free from spots and acne will be great! hehe...
Deletep/s: LOL! Try to give a in depth explanation. XD
Wah, ada perbezaan la walaupun baru 14 hari. Kulit nampak anjal gitu. Kalau saya lebih suka produk yang boleh merawat jerawat, blackhead, whitehead, parut, eyebag dan dark circle daripada produk untuk pemutihan kulit. :)
ReplyDeletebtul, spots and acne mmg masalah, kalau tona kulit maybe leh kabur kan ngan makeup. hehe
DeleteYe..saya pun mcm nk try miracle water ni...tp sy jenis kulit berminyak n jerawat....takut laa nk try
DeleteSy terfikir nk try miracle water...tp sy ni jenis kulit berminyak jerwat. Takut laa nk try
Deletewow nampak perbezaannya...sk11 mmg terbaik...
ReplyDeleteAlhamdulilah, dia pnya essence best. :)

in sya Allah.. ^_^
DeletePreviously I've been using SKII for 3 years plus before I change to other product (Biotherm, Sothys etc). My first purchase from SKII was trial set, consist of 3 main products (cleanser, toner, essence). If I'm not mistaken the price was RM98 back in 2004/05! Hihi. Time tu memang ada few people tanya product ape I guna. I got less pimples and scars. So I guess memang berkesan la kan.
ReplyDeleteCurrently I'm using Bio-Essence (bird nest range). Berkesan too and cheaper! Hehe. Btw, my sister, cousins semua bagi good feedback untuk Bio-Essence. Now kami pengguna setia Bio-Essence. :p

ReplyDeleteI just started using this particular essence for two days now. I know it's too soon to tell, but I does notice that my skin is slightly brighter and has a glow. But one thing I dislike is that my skin gets oily after overnight application (maybe I use too many?) I apply directly using my palm around 4-5 drops as well. Do you somehow experience the same thing(oily skin) during your early days of using it?..but it doesn't oily during the day though.
ReplyDeleteoh, i use 4-5 drop using cotton pads. yes, i have once try applying using my palm with the same amount and i feel the stickiness. if you wanna apply with your hand, try using 2-3 drops. and from my experience i like using cotton pads better. i don't feel oily when using this, maybe i apply it using cotton pads, so the perfect amount of essence is spread on my face.
