Everyone\u2019s skin is different, but there are 5 main basic skin types \u2013 sensitive, oily, dry, combination, and normal.\u00a0Some types may seem like they require extra care and attention, but that might not be the case with the right products…<\/em><\/p>\n

The Pamper.My team and I aren\u2019t strangers to SK-II\u2019s range of products. In fact, we\u2019ve tried and tested their products a year ago and\u00a0we\u2019re absolutely convinced by the results<\/a>. This time, we are on a journey to put SK-II<\/a> to the test and see if it really works for all skin types \u2013 especially since I have sensitive skin!<\/p>\n

As someone with sensitive skin, I take extra caution when adding new products to my routine because my skin flinches easily \u2013 the presence of certain ingredients or compounds sometimes leaves me with burning, uncomfortable, red<\/em> or irritated skin \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Stress, plus the\u00a0hot and humid weather<\/a>,\u00a0also worsens my skin\u2019s sensitivity \u2013 which has been the case with the lockdown. Frankly, my skin hasn\u2019t been happy since March and that has become an additional source of stress for me.<\/p>\n

Somehow, our friends at SK-II learned about it and sent me a care package filled with their best-selling products. Maybe my breakouts were\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0noticeable on Zoom?<\/p>\n

The thing about SK-II is that it\u2019s meant to be suitable for all skin types. But\u00a0anyone<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>with sensitive skin knows that these claims should be taken with a pinch of salt. Here\u2019s my tried and tested SK-II review.<\/p>\n

The gentle power of SK-II and PITERA™ <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

As someone with sensitive skin, my skincare philosophy is to keep it\u00a0simple<\/em>. A basic 3-step routine makes my skin happier than a thorough Korean 10-step routine.<\/p>\n

The same applies when it comes to products.<\/p>\n

The first thing I did when I embarked on this SK-II review was to check the ingredients.<\/p>\n

To my delight, the\u00a0PITERA™ Facial Treatment Essence<\/a>\u00a0had a\u00a0concise ingredient list<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0less than 10 ingredients, and none of which were triggering to sensitive skin.<\/p>\n

Already, I\u00a0<\/em>liked<\/em>\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Facial Treatment Essence\u00a0contains\u00a097%<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>of their signature ingredient \u2013 PITERA™. If I\u2019m going to apply something so highly concentrated to\u00a0my<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>sensitive skin, I\u2019d better learn how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is PITERA™?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PITERA™<\/strong> is a yeast strain produced during the fermentation of sake. It is a natural bio-ingredient with 50+ micro-nutrients that restores and enhances skin health. It also…<\/p>\n
