As I have been reviewing and working more SKII products into my standard routine, I wanted to share excellent results with this day moisturiser from SKII. I usually use Decleor Hydrafloral which is very good. However, one of my peeves is that my face tends to get shiny after some hours and I need to use blotters or dust Benefit bluff dust on. I switched to Advanced Essence about three weeks ago and no more shiny face under my SKII airtouch makeup. My face stays matte and the texture of the moisturiser is superb.
The product, unlike other impractically packaged SKII products comes in a pump bottle but is not very generous in size. Usually SKII products are pricey but come in generous quantities! What this lacks in size it makes up for in the formulation. This literally disappears into my skin and hydrates without any oilness whatsoever. I have had no reactions to it like I did to SKII Advanced Signs (one or two blemishes)and I am very impressed by the glow it gives to brighten my face during the day. SKII products continue to impress me with what they deliver to my skin and that is tangible results I can see. |

Hi Wildcat,
I may have chucked the box but will have a look for the insert to post you the ingredients. I got it as a gift when I bought another LXP cream. If a choice I would say go for the LXP night cream as you may have a good day moisturiser that works already. |

i quite like this as well (another face that loves SK-II here). the SA told me it was all i needed for sun protection (ha!), but i have been using it on days when it's raining and enjoying the lighter than air feel (my face is very sun sensitive so i need the heavy duty euros when it's sunny). no breakouts either and it does look lovely under either of the SK-II foundations. |

I seem to be climbing down on my review after a few weeks. I have stopped using this moisturiser as I got a few spots so passed it on to sis [who has a face that can be slathered with rocket fuel and nothing happens]. Maybe as the weather is getting warmer? Boo hoo. I did love the feel of it. Darn. Don't you just HATE when that happens? Back to Decleor. |

At least it worked for you for awhile. I've never had much luck with SKII products, though I'm always so hopeful when I get something new. Thanks for posting an update! |
