To everyone who participated, a HUGE thank you for your time and effort in advising Sophie K.
Beautiful skin doesn’t stops at just being fair or flawless. It must also comes with an aura of luminosity and radiance which can be achieve with the use of SKII Cellumination Essence EX. I’ll suggest Sophie K to also include SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist in her regime on top of the essence to help get rid of her dark spots and keeping her skin looking all so refine and radiance.
I would convince her to exfoliate her skin to really clean surface before the deep cleansing. After the basic wash, make sure she tones her skin to balance up the ph balance and applying the SK-II Cellumination Essence EX + SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist to reduce the appearance of dark spots. Last but not least, put on the night cream to lock in the moisture and serum to work effectively.
Pigmentation occurs when the melanocytes at the lower most layer of the epidermis produce excess melanin, a brown pigment, and darken the skin. SK-II believes that to improve the skin, it has to start from the cellular level. Talking about SK-II, no one will ever forget the legendary “Miracle Water”, facial treatment essence. After cleansing, Sophie K should use this star product to condition the skin and prep it for the next step. After that, I’ll suggest her to use SK-II Cellumination Essence EX that will give her glowing and more radiant skin overall. And to combat the brown spots, SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist is the answer. This product combats spots formation by targeting both visible and hidden spots.
If Sophie K came to me for advice on her pigmentation problem, I would tell her firstly, to try to stay out of the sun if possible! If not, I would tell her that SK-II would be the brand which can provide her with the solution to her skin problem. Whenever she is outdoors, she should always use a good daily sunscreen like SK-II’s Whitening Source Derm Defence UV Lotion which has SPF50PA+++. Then, she should also use SK-II’s Cellumination Essence EX and SK-II’s Whitening Spots Specialist as part of her daily beauty regimen. In time her pigmentation should diminish!
Thanks for such an amazing giveaway!
If Sophie K came to me for advice, i would immediately sent her to Juniper J cause she got already all the perfect details for SK-II reviews and i don’t think i can do any better.
Anyway,first of all i will tell her that for every for every visible dark spot we can see on her skin, there are 5 dark spots beneath the surface of our skin waiting to emerge. More will emerge if she just leave it untreated. Fortunately, SK-II Cellumination Essence EX can improve the skin turn over in four weeks and make her love her bare skin rather than keep covering her dark spots under thick makeup. Then, i would suggest her to use SK-II’s Whitening Spots Specialist that helps bring her such amazing clarity in reducing stubborn spots at their roots. She will also need to use SK-II’s Cellumination Day Surge UV Touch Up with SPF30. This is a moisturiser with sunscreen and can be used to touch up her makeup ro protect her skin. In four weeks time, she will have flawless skin that she never dream of like Lee Sinje, Tang Wei & Cate Blanchett.
First of all my advice to her is to use sunblock regularly to prevent the deterioration of her pigmentation condition. Secondly, she can try Cellumination Essence EX. Because it contains Aura Bright Cocktail which can affect skin’s overall aura by suppressing the stress receptors. By using Cellumination Essence EX, she can prevent the worsening of the pigmentation. Also, she should use Whitening Spots Specialist to enhance the effect with Cellumination Essence EX. Whitening Spots Specialist can reduce dark spots by cutting and loosening their roots. This is very important because this can remove the dark spots completely, without giving them a chance to stay on her skin. The most important thing is Sophie K must apply both of the products on morning and night for the best effect, she must remember that there isn’t ugly women, just lazy women! Good luck to Sophie K in treating her pigmentation!
If Sophie comes to me for advice of pigmentation, I guess I am the right person to ask, because I also have terrible dark spots or hyperpigmentation on my face. And i have used so many products to get rid of it, and yet they are as steady as a rock sitting on my face.
First of all, prevention is better than cure. I will advice her to do all the precaution such as wearing sunblock or sunscreen with UV protection as well as with high SPF. If she works or stays in door most of the time, she will need sunscreen with SPF of about 20 and I will recommend her to use SK-II Cellumination Day Surge UV Touch up with SPF 30. If she often got sunlight exposure she will need sunscreen with higher SPF, I will recommend her to use will be SK-II Whitening Source Derm UV Lotion with SPF 50+++. Avoid direct sunlight exposure as much as possible is the beginning of facial whitening i would say.
Then, of course the basic whitening skincare regime can not be forgotten. If I will recommend her the SK-II Star products cum the best sellers : SK-II Cellumination Essence EX and SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist. For hyperpigmentation, Sophie can use SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist to macerate her dark spots on her face as the this miracle product contains Root-comple x and Rich Melano-Discharge that can cut, loosen and remove the root of the stubborn spot on Sophie’s face in 4 weeks time.
Whitening itself is not enough, if we can add some translucent and aura effect of Sophie’s face, it will be perfect. So I will introduce Sophie the SK-II Cellumination Essence EX that she can just get 2 drops of it and apply it from the forehead to the chin to add the aura to her face! The Aura Bright Cocktail with Pixel White add on to the radiance of her skin complex!
And lastly, tadaa!! Sophie can enjoy her tropical travel as much as possible without having to worry about her hyperpigmentation or dark spots formed under the rich sunlight in Malaysia!!! Welcome to Malaysia and SK-II =)
“Sophie, if you are truly determined to make a changeover on yourself, I would strongly recommend you to throw away all those products you have been using throughout these years, which have brought no outstanding effects at all on your face. I hereby proudly introduce you the SK-II Cellumination Essence EX and SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist which are the heavenly gifted solutions to your pigmentation skin problem. You may not only reducing those stubborn dark spots on your face, but also whiten and brighten up your skin to the blast! You deserve the right thing for a better of you. Try it now and you will experience the change yourself. All I can say is, GET THEM!” XD
More often that not, solving existing issues on the skin surface would require tackling the problem at its root. In Sophie K’s case, she would need to use SK-II Whitening Spots Specalist regimen, consisting of the Whitening Spots Specialist and the Whitening Spots Specialist Concentrate which claims to tackle stubborn spots at their roots, in just four weeks. What they do is to cut the roots of the dark spots, loosen them, and eventually remove that unsightly blotch in its entirety. In this manner, both hidden and visible spots are targeted. Another product that i would recommend to Sophie K is SK-II’s Cellumination Essence Ex which promises to block stress receptors in skin that are prone to induce hyperpigmentation and enhance the skin’s microtone. In this manner, your skin looks refined, and crystal-clear, even when upclose.
Sophie K has faced the issue of skin pigmentation problem due to over exposure to sunlight. As we know, the weather is generally warm throughout the year in our country, so sun protection is very important in our daily skin care routine.
I will advise her to wear sunblock product such as Whitening Source Derm-Definition UV Lotion with SPF50 which is good for daily usage. It delivers five benefits, especially spot prevention and tone improvement to enhance skin’s overall condition up to eight hours!
If she loves wearing makeup, SK-II’s Cellumination Day Surge UV Touch Up with SPF30 is her better choice. It is a moisturiser cum sunscreen helps in treats daytime skin damage in the day and can be used to touch up makeup.
For foundation, I will recommend her to use Skin Signature Cream-In Foundation which contains 75% skincare cream ingredients to hydrate skin and protect from UVA and UVB rays. And don’t forget to finish the make up with Facial Treatment Advanced Protect Loose Powder UV, it provides a long-lasting and natural finishing effect through its spot clear powder.
Next, SK-II Whitening Spots Specialist is a must for Sophie because it a best solution to reduce dark spots that adopts a dual approach to fight spot formation regardless visible spots or hidden spots by cutting and loosening their roots through its new Spot Root Complex, a strong combination of ingredients! For best results, apply twice daily, once in the day and once at night.
For additional efficacy, apply Whitening Spots Specialist Concentrate on spot areas after applying the Whitening Spots Specialist. Just spread it thinly and evenly across the face every night, it helps in loosens stubborn spots from deep under the skin overnight and consequently helps to remove spots.
In addition, I highly recommend the new SK-II Cellumination Essence EX which is designed to improve your skin from the cellular level and experience highly defined aura bright skin in just 4 weeks! Don’t forget to massage the products into the skin to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Not only that, Whitening Source Derm-Brightener is a whitening formula specially designed to address skin tone issue caused by exposure to UV rays. This formula can also help with spots reduction by providing additional nourishment to the skin, leading to a more beautiful Aura.
After a long day, it is important to stick with using a facial mask once a week. SK-II Whitening Source Derm-Revival Mask is an unique stretchable mask that designed to hold the maximum amount of juice and deliver it effectively to the skin.
Here is a reference list for Sophie:

Hello, thank you for the giveaway!
My entry:
Hmmm, have you seen my mum lately? She looks good right?
She used to have pretty dark hyperpigmentation on her cheeks. She tried her hand at serums from various brands; NONE worked. One day, she went for Whitening Spots Specialist and now you’ll be hard-pressed to find her spots. They have lightened tremendously!
I was dumbfounded by the results. And in such a short time too! You should definitely give it a try, you won’t regret it!
PS: Second time submitting this, first one must have gone MIA~
What I would tell Sophie K is simple: if you want to see results, you must invest in skincare with good quality, and from my observation, SK-II whitening products do not carry the SK-II logo for nothing. So many people raves and craves for SK-II even with that price tag. For dark spots and brighter skin that need no makeup, the Whitening Spots Specialist and Cellumination Essence EX is what I would suggest Sophie K to get her hands on first, as serums are more concentrated and will deliver results faster. After all, she doesn’t have anything to loose except her pigmentation.
I will tell Sophie that not to worry because she is not alone. Nowadays many girls also fighting with the pigmentation problem for almost a life time 😀 there must always be a way to help her because we have SK II here.
Firstly Sophie must know that sunscreen is a very important item that we must have in daily beauty regime. Whenever where we go, be it indoor or outdoor, we have to apply sunscreen to prevent the formation of dark spot and dull skin. Sophie can use the SK-II’s Cellumination Day Surge UV Touch Up with SPF30 after her serum. This is a moisturizer + sunscreen that can be use daily and can also be used to touch up makeup.
Then for everyday regime, she should not forget the SK II ‘Miracle Water’ – Facial Treatment Essence. This can be use as a toner / base before Sophie apply any of the skincare product. After that I will introduce a series of SK-II-s Cellumination range to Sophie if she want to achieve crystal clear skin.
To achieve a refined and radiant skin , firstly Sophie is advise to use the Cellumination Essence EX which is a very effective whitening essence create from SK II. Cellumination Essence EX contains the Aura Bright Cocktail’s key ingredient, Pixel White™ that help to evens out texture and tone from a micro-level. She should apply this to the entire face day and night and will feel the healthy radiance in just one week time 😀
Next, to reduce / cease the formation of new dark spot / existing dark spot, I would strongly recommend Sophie to also add in Whitening Spots Specialist in her beauty regime. The best is to apply over the entire face for both morning and night,and let the active ingredients to penetrates deep into the skin. Whitening Spots Specialist will ‘work’ to cease the root of the dark spots. This is important as “prevention is always better than cure”.
Sophie can also apply Whitening Spots Specialist Concentrate after the Whitening Spots Specialist during night regime. The concentrate serum will slowly loosens stubborn spots overnight and can consequently helps to remove spots in a more effective way.
Lastly , for a beauty flawless skin, Sophie can use Cellumination Essence-In Foundation on her desire. She will get her skin translucent finish because Cellumination Essence-In Foundation also contains the same beautifying skincare ingredients in SK II Cellumination range 😀
I wish Sophie on a soonest success on fighting her pigmentation problem ! 😀
many thanks to you too! and I am surprise to see a fifth bottle! thank you for the generous, Juniper! 😀
Thank you for this generous give away!
