[Review] SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge Ex

Who doesn't want to have a beautiful soft glow radiating from your skin? Well, the SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge Ex can lead you one step closer to achieving your dream skin. The two key ingredients in this moisturiser are the famous Pitera and an advanced whitening complex Aura Bright Cocktail EX, which from the SK-II website claims to provide intense hydration, "evens out your skin and boosts its luminosity. With every use, dullness and appearance of spots are minimized to reveal your skin’s natural translucent glow." Does this moisturiser live up to its claims?
 
SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge EX
I have been using the SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge Ex for 9 months now as a night moisturiser before I go to bed and wake up the next morning to more translucent skin.The gel-like cream comes in a jar, which I use a spatula to scoop the required amount so as not to contaminate the rest of the moisturiser. My oily skin loves how lightweight it is as it spreads really easily and is quickly absorbed into my skin, thus only a small amount is needed. I know of someone who uses this as a sleeping mask due to the texture, she will apply a thick layer of the moisturiser before going to bed.. what an expensive sleeping mask!
Lightweight gel consistency
Although the SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge Ex does plump up my skin a little, it doesn't provide as much hydration as I would like, but that has always a struggle for me as my skin is oily yet dehydrated. But no worries on that as I usually layer the moisturiser above a hydrating serum. I also must say it does help in lightening acne scars relatively quickly and doesn't aggravate my sensitive skin. Until I find another moisturiser better than this, I will be sticking to this as it has faired better than all other night moisturisers I have tried.

The SK-II Cellumination Deep Surge Ex is currently retailing at S$199 at all major department stores, or you can purchase it on cheaper from Amazon or StrawberryNET here or here.
