SK-II Cellumination Essence EX
What it is:A hydrating serum that restores the skin’s natural, healthy looking glow by evening out the tone. What it is formulated to do:This hydrating serum with New Aura Bright Complex works three ways to diffuse light reflectance within the surface so that your natural colors radiate a soft, translucent glow from within. It also hydrates and refines the surface to boost skin’s natural tone, and to help diminish the appearance of discoloration for a more even complexion. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Sulfates- Phthalates- GMOs

Review 1 for Cellumination Essence EX
No Foundation Skin
-05.25.13
Quick Take: hydrating
It's been 2 weeks since I started using several products from SK-II and I no longer need foundation. Concealor, translucent powder and GO! My skin is more even toned, pores are disappearing and there's a nice glow. LOVE my new skin!! I use Clear Lotion + Treatment Essence + brightening Derm Specialist + Cellumination Essence EX + Cellumination Deep Surge EX.

Review 2 for Cellumination Essence EX
luminous skin ahead!!
-05.13.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, luminizing!
Even though it's lacking in instructions on how to use this, overall it's a FANTASTIC product - i've been using it at least at night, and from time to time in the morning. I've tried all the other top of the line skincare that Sephora carries, and this blows it ALL out of the water. Smooth, luminous, no breakouts, and my dry skin is so moisturized. Nothing else like it; worth every penny.

Review 3 for Cellumination Essence EX
Weird
-05.05.13
Quick Take: indescribable
I have never paid so much for a beauty/skin product that came with no information with it. I felt a little like if you have to ask you don't get it. Even searching online was no help. I only found out that this line wouldn't sell in its native Japan so they rebranded it and voila it's now the stars' favorite. So I use it since I spent so much for it. It did not break me out. It feels good after I put it on like my skin is smoother. But unless its going to make me able to not wear makeup I would never pay this much again. At least wow me with crazy false claims that aren't true like other overpriced skin products. Curious.

Amazing
-04.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I use it under my not so expensive mosturizer and it works wonders! My skin feel soft and hydrated! I can feel the difference after one use. It's quite pricey, but I think it's worth it!

Review 5 for Cellumination Essence EX
I like this product but...
-02.01.13
I am glad that Sephora finally carries SK-II. I am finishing my first bottle of Cellumination Essence EX that my sister bought for me in Asia (it is almost impossible to buy SK-II in Toronto, Canada). So I have decided to order my second bottle from Sephora.
I like this product and I have no reaction from it, which is a good thing. It keeps my skin supple and soft. However, I do find it very odd that there is no information / insturction sheet that comes with the product. It almost looks like it is a knock-off / fake item (I hope it is not the case as Sephora is big retail chain). The bottle I got from Asia did not have this problem. I know it is not Sephora's fault. It is an issue that SK-II North America has to deal with.

love it.

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I am 41 i have pretty good skin but i have some fine lines on my forehead starting and around my eyes skin is losing its elasticity a little bit. I love this stuff. I feel like it plumped up the skin and made it really soft. But dont have unrelistic expectations its not botox. But it is probably going to keep me from the needle for a little while longer. It just softens the lines. I also used the eye cream intensive (the one in tube) and i loved how it made my slightly drooping lid tighten up a little bit. again its not botox. Have realistic expectations and if you have young skin it might be a waste of money for you--not sure. I think its great for mature skin. If you are young you may want to try other less expensive products. Your skin doesn't even start to age until 25..and if you take good care of yourself by not smoking, sunscreen and eating clean you will not need such expensive products for a long time. Also again if you have very aged skin you may want to see a Dr. instead of spending so much on products. But if you have mature skin that is just starting to show signs of aging this is a great line. I even put the excess on the back of my hands and it plumped that skin up nicely for almost 12 hours.

Review 7 for Cellumination Essence EX
AMAZING
-09.20.12
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
It's pricey but you'll definitely see results. My skin never looked better. During the dry winter season, the area around my nose would peel and it would look awful. Upon using this serum, I never got flakey nose no matter how many times I blew my nose. I don't even have to buy the lotioned kleenex anymore.

Quick Take: hydrating, brightening
My skin was at its best when I was using this product. Definitely worth the price! Have heard it can cause breakouts in some, but has never been an issue for me.
