SK-II GenOptics Essence Brightening Serum - Radiance Boosting Face Serum to Target Sun Spots, Dullness & Uneven Texture - Improves Natural Regeneration for Youthful Skin (1.7 oz)

I've been using various dark spot corrector products for about the past six months, and there wasn't much improvement, even when combining multiple products. SK-II has been around for decades, and produces many quality products, so when I came across this product I decided to give it a try as well. Very quickly, I started seeing improvement! This product also feels the most luxurious on my skin. It's lightweight and airy, yet keeps my skin moisturized all day - while still providing the sought after benefit of my dark spots fading.Now, at $265, this is likely outside of many people's budget, but it's significantly cheaper than professional treatments while being able to provide results. If dark spots are an issue for you and you're not having luck with other products, give this a try.

My skin is definitely softer since I began using this product. I have noticed a difference in the look of my skin with it appearing more even, and definitely FEEL a difference. My skin has been so dry that it hurts, and the pain of tight, dry skin is pretty much gone. It has a light, pleasant scent. The applicator is easy to use by depressing the top before the lid is removed, allowing for a measured, consistent volume of serum with each use. Overall, I have been very pleased with this serum.

this serum is incredible! my skin has never looked better. it’s brightening and hydrating that lasts all day. it smells amazing and just sinks into your skin. pricy but will last a long time as you only need a small amount

This is a nice milky-colored serum from Japan. The aim is to nourish and brighten skin. I've only used a few days and have already noticed a nice difference -- additionally, just putting it on adds a subtle glow.My favorite thing is the bottle -- an opalescent color that has a nice shape. Unscrew bottle and the exact amount of serum you need is already in the dropper! Just depress the top and serum flows into your hand. It took me a moment to figure this out (and in fairness, it is indicated in directions). Fun to see how other countries do their skincare products.All in all I like this a lot. I do it is a bit pricey but has been wonderful to use. Recommended!

I'm going to completely ignore the price of this serum for my review, because I don't really know how to deal with something so far out of my price range I'd never dream of buying it with my own money. Make your own call.Anyway. This stuff is fantastic. I test a lot of skincare products for Amazon, so I'm no stranger to high end serums, but I've been using this one for about two weeks and I've already noticed a clear improvement in the condition of my skin. I have fairly uneven skin tone, tending toward redness in my nose and cheeks even when I have a tan, but after two weeks of daily use my skin tone looks markedly more even. Even in the local dry winter climate my skin feels softer and smoother than usual, and I just look generally healthier. This is the only new product I'm using regularly right now, so I'm attributing the change to this serum.I rarely notice such a dramatic difference when testing new skincare products, so I'll be happy to give this five stars.Now according to the product details the correct amount to use is a full dropper from the pipette attached to the bottle lid. That seems like a lot to me. I just place a drop on my forehead and one on each cheek, and it seems to be enough to get full coverage of my face. Your mileage may vary, but at this price (sorry, I promised I wouldn't mention that) I'm inclined to ration it so I can stretch the bottle as long as possible. You do you.

On par with La Mer and La Prairie, Japanese beauty brand SK-II is for serious skin care enthusiasts who don't mind shelling out big bucks for wonder creams. Holy heck! This serum is more than my monthly car payment! But gosh darn it, if it isn't the cream of dreams! First off, the bottle looks like it was made from fairy dust compressed into the teardrop of a unicorn. It's a work of art by itself! It changes colors in the light... I could stare at it all day.The dropper has a pump at the top that seamlessly draws in just the right amount of product to be dispensed. It smells divine, like a spa in Gstaad. The serum effortlessly sinks into the skin, and I notice the instant radiance in my complexion. My aura is indeed glowing! Now as for the long-term effects, it will take time to see but I notice a difference under my makeup. Since this costs a few dollars per application, I am going to savor this essence from the heavens and use it in the morning when I want my glow to be on display for all the world to see.Now excuse me, I must meet the Princess of Genovia for high tea ...

If you're after a serum that promises to brighten your complexion and tackle those pesky sun spots, this one is worth considering—though it comes with a hefty price tag. Formulated with ingredients like niacinamide and lotus flower extract, it aims to reduce dullness and give your skin a more radiant, youthful glow. After a few uses, you may notice a subtle improvement in skin tone, with the serum working its magic to brighten and even things out. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, which makes it easy to layer with other skincare products. It’s especially beneficial for those with dry or combination skin, offering a nice boost of hydration. While it’s definitely on the expensive side, the results may justify the splurge, especially if you're committed to long-term use.TIP: For maximum results, make sure to apply this serum consistently after cleansing, and be patient—it can take several weeks to see the full brightening effects!
