Sk-ii is about keeping your skin at its natural and healthy form. it's not really about using chemical to reverse any types of problems you have. it's about slowing down the aging process. I have been using SK-II for 5 years. my skin is definitely very stable and very smooth.

I need to know what I’m actually changing and what is actually working. I’ve always had such difficult skin, so changing my perspective from “glowy”, “Hydrated”, and “youthful” (which I don’t even understand tbh) has helped me feel more comfortable about the process, more in control of my situation, and more proactive about the products and knowledge I have. 😊

Hi! Just an FYI- I work for a patent law firm and just because proctor and gamble has a patent on their formulation doesn’t mean that others cannot research. It would be wise to research to find another way to formulate the skincare with that same ingredient. The only reason others would not be doing any more research is because they know the ingredient is not beneficial or their trials are taking a long time and is not ready to be published.

Such a well grounded and unbiased review! Thank you!

Tried both SKII FTE and La Mer Treatment Lotion (+ all three of its moisturizing cream, the original thick formulation, gel and soft cream), and I can say SKII makes my skin looks way healthier, brighter, more even tone and no breakouts at all. But La Mer, I’d say it just doesn’t work for me. Both lines are super expensive, and I wonder if the selling price really justify the ingredients they put in their skincare and the labour it requires in concocting the formulation etc.

SK-II is really good, I've been using it since 19 years old. Now, I'm 28, I still have good skin eventhough I have a stressful job. However, it depends on your lifestyle and diet also.

Am a guy and have used it for a month and love how my skin looks

I’ve been using SK-II for more than a year and it’s been amazing! I had less breakouts (I still have 2-3 bumps on occasion with temperature changes) even if my skin is oily, it doesn’t look like it and my skin feels well-moisturized and bright.

I tried this and it made my skin incredibly dry. My skin was combination at the time and I saw no benefits. I thought I had gotten a bad or watered down sample. This video makes so much sense

Very impressed with the deep dive!

I been using Sk2 for so many years and it definitely helped my skin, especially when you have big pores and pimples. My friends can tell the difference in my skin and I got a lot of compliments. If you just used for a very short time it’s hard to keep up the result and if you don’t eat healthy it’s a problem too.

Love your research hyram my go to skin care specialist!!!

this video was the reason i subscribed and its so cool to see for far you've gone:)

Thank you for confirmation that I’m not crazy! There’s zero research available on pitera out there and I have looked high and low. However...the sheet mask is a miracle for my post travel skin. Seriously, I wish I could say it was all hype at that price but I haven’t found anything close to those sheet masks.

I looked into SK-II a few years back, I was using Olay Regenerist at the time, and realized they share A LOT of the same ingredients. I then discovered, like you mentioned in the video, that SK-II are owned by Procter & Gamble. The same company that owns Olay! They even had yeast extract (pitera is a yeast) in one of the Regenerist products up until last year. They reformulated that product, conveniently removing the yeast extract, before launching their Golden Aura line. This new line has yeast extract (which they call “golden yeast extract”) as the star ingredient, but the story behind this yeast extract is that it comes from France, not Japan, this time. This line is only available through their website and is in the same price range as SK-II. The essence is $125. Maybe yeast is a great ingredient, but niacinamide, vitamin c, retinol, green tea (EGCG), vitamin e, and matrixyl have way more research to back them up. Other than retinol, these ingredients are in the Regenerist Regenerating Serum, which is a fraction of the price. All the ingredients in SK-II, other than pitera, are used in the Olay Regenerist line. I use the fragrance-free Regenerating Serum, the Night Recovery Cream, the SPF 30 Micro Sculpting Day Cream, and the Pro-X Deep Wrinkle Treatment (contains retinol). I’ve used these for 9 years and my skin is clear, even toned, and I only have a few very faint fine lines. I’ve tried other products from high-end to drug store, but nothing makes my skin look as good. Bottom line: if you’re curious about SK-II, try the Olay products I mentioned. They are made by the same company and use the same ingredients. Give them some time. If you really want to try a product with yeast extract, you can get it easily at in tons of Asian beauty products in the US dirt cheap. Try Missha First Treatment Essence, or similar products.

Hi, I LOVE your video! I'm a big fan of skii but I love your content and especially this video and how you bring the logical and science point of view (I never thought about it before!). I agree with everything that you said, it's all make sense! But if you don't mind I also wanted to share my experience. I am 33 years old, and I've been using skii for around 5 years. I didn't really think much of it in the beginning and didn't see huge difference with my skin, but I keep using it for some reason (I don't know much about skin care at that time and I believe that skii is the holy grail haha). However, sometimes I skipped using it once in a while when I wanted to save money, and that's when I see how I have fine lines and a bit of dry patches in my face, but as soon as I got back to my skii routine, I notice that the lines around my mouth and eyes are disappearing!! So it really does work! especially the RNA power (moisturiser). Now that I learned more about skin care and active ingredients, I try different products to find routine that fit more into my skin problem, but I still use the RNA power as my moisturiser. Anyway, love your video!

I've been using sk-ii for three years and all I can say is that it definitely fits my oily skin!!

Awesome post! would have to agree. My issue with the SK-II is that it does contain Methylparaben (s) -because they have been known to disrupt hormone function, an effect that is linked to increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive toxicity. Unless your using a $385.00 bottle of SK-II LXP Ultimate Revival Cream; over a period of time (that contains Niacinamide- Vitamin B3, peptides, amino acids, and 50 vitamins and minerals) - I don't think your going to see much of a difference. I have not, I'm a makeup artist and a lot of my clients use it, for the bitchy clients I use GUERLAIN- "Orchidée Impériale Cream" and Dr. Perricone's - Cold Plasma Anti-Aging Face Treatment ,formulated WITHOUT: Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates they contain Proprietary Neuropeptides,Patented 2 DMAE,Tocotrienols, (Elite Vitamin E), and Patented Phospholipids all of which are proven and are ACTUALLY on the label unlike SK-II (which I find sketchy).

I was excited to see you made this video! Years ago I was interested in purchasing this product, but never did. I’ve since made the decision to only buy cruelty free products so I wouldn’t buy it now. now I know it’s not exactly worth the hype!

I have been using SKii for maybe 3 years now and I have to say the essence MUST pair with the RNK cream ( big red bottle) for the best result! Also Pitera takes time to show results... you need to pair it with a nice moisturizer!!

I bought the FTE for myself as a birthday present. Used it for 3 months and saw no difference. I don’t regret the purchase because it’s been on my wish list for years. I like it when my skin doesn’t like expensive products 😛

I decided to try SKii after my students and other clients told me about it. I'd often guess that these people were much younger than they actually were and whenever I asked about their skin care, SKii was always there as an answer

Interesting... well I hope it works for you as well as it did for them!

I just found you! You are gggrrrreeeaaat! I just subscribed. I have a sample of this a friend gave me so I wasn’t sure what it did. Thanks

I just started using SK II (the essence) probably a month ago, and I feel like my skin has never looked as young, bright and especially I feel like my skin texture is more smooth. I've tried a bunch of different products from all sorts of brands, and I feel like I'm seeing a big difference? I haven't had breakouts for quite a while, and idk if it's the essence or what but for now I'm continuing use. I was, and skill am skeptical about if maybe I just wanted it to work b/c I bought one if their cute limited edition bottles that's out right now, but so far so good. I will probably repurchase when I run out. Love Hyram's points about it, and if you're curious I think trying a sample or trial size first is a great option.

God I Love your review❤️ actually just like you said... i used skii for awhile and yes my skin looks soooo smooth BUT when I try only one product of it.. it’s not really work.. like when I only use the cleanser because I forgot to bring the FTE and Lotion when I go aboard.. my skin was dry like hell.. then one time I only use the lotion and it didn’t work much... and then when I use only FTE it also didn’t work.... it was always recommended to use from the cleanser, lotion and FTE in sets... sure then it will work in that way... but still, can’t lie it’s price just toooooo high

Hyram, thanks for your honest, unbiased opinion and great detective work. I'll have to just settle for crummy skin because I can't afford high-dollar skin care. P.s. first time viewer - great video!

Rose F From Nature Age Treatment Essence. It’s $20 and is 96% galactomyces ferment which is what “Pitera” is. Also, you definitely don’t need to spend a lot to have a good skincare routine. The proven things that benefit the skin are things like a gentle low PH cleanser, retinoids, AHA, BHA, skin identical ingredients like niacinamide and urea, antioxidants, humectants, and ingredients that seal in moisture. All of these ingredients can be found in affordable well formulated skincare. Check out Cerave at the drugstore and the Korean brands Iunik, Isntree, Purito, Cosrx, Pyunkang Yul, and A’pieu. I also recommend these more science based Indie brands: Timeless, Skin Actives, Stratia Skin, and JJ Labs Skin Solutions.

Rose F when I started to get into skin care and I didn’t want to spend much money and because I didn’t know what to buy. I tried the Neutrogena Hydro Boost line. I think you should try those they are great products. You can get each product around the $20 mark.

Love that you dig into the products and ingredients! It provides such a fact supported review and I greatly appreciate it! I’ve been wanting to up my skin care game (38 yikes). Have you done a review on Tata Harper? If not I would love to get your feedback.

Thank you for the kind words! And I haven't actually, but I'm very familiar with the brand. Thank you for the idea ❤

So glad I saw this i was thinking about buying it and trying it only because they keep saying natural but I don't think I'm gonna do it. You make a lot of good points and I agree gonna go back to olay ❤ thanks for sharing! 😁

Been using SKII since 2006 and at 42 my skin has been better than ever, using it religiously, and the right methods of usage really help maintains my skin condition. My skin is still resilient, plump and maintained, I use the cleanser, toner and essence as my basic skin care regime and finish with lab series men max LS and on weekly basis the vitamin scrub and mask by Dermalogica. SkII is cost efficient is use rightly!

Yes it is I am using the Toner, Essence Pitera and RNA .. made in Japan and i do really see better results. i love it

this is the content i signed up for. if only my students could organize their papers and presentations the way you do and then deliver it the way you do too. i tried looking up articles on sk-ii and wondered why i'd invest so much cash on sth that isn't backed by overwhelming evidence. and this is essentially my problem with so much of the skin care world. these great secret ingredients they have, that will only yield results after long term use and you're just supposed to take their word for it. anecdote isn't evidence and who says it's not placebo?

Thank you Hyram for giving us such an impartial view on SKII and I can see you have done a thorough research about the brand and its key star ingredient Pitera. I must say I am in complete agreement with you because given my skin needs: acne scarring and conspicuous pores, “pitera” isn’t going to do much. I rather spend my hard earned money on something more affordable and with proven results like AHA and BHA, and skin needling or chemical peels. High five to science, not business marketing :) keep up with the great videos and hope to see more of you

Thank you so much for the kind words Hanwen! I really appreciate that you understand where I'm trying to come from 😄Give me alll the AHA/BHAs and science ❤

I noticed that when I used the essence, my skincare I put on it, lasted longer. When I didn’t use it, my skincare had a smaller timeframe. I didn’t pay for my sample, but when I used it again after I bought it.... it still did similarly. I am mad that I love it so much, because she’s pricey!

Hi, Physician here and I appreciate your balanced and measured review. There just isn't enough evidence to make broad claims just yet. Could be great but there isn't enough repeat evidence yet for me to invest. Thank you for your responsible review.

I can’t agree.. probably the majority that don’t see any amazing skin results already have decent skin.. I’ve suffered from acne for about ten years (ever since I was about 10) and nothing has helped but SK2... maybe more powerful and cheaper products don’t help but do more harm? 🤔 I’ve been to dermatologists and everything and nothing has helped but.. SK2

Hyram clearly states in here that if it works for someone, by all means, keep using it. He also stated he’s talked to people who love it. There’s no disagreeing here - he just stated the facts.

You my friend are a sight for sore eyes. I’m truly impressed by the commitment and honesty of this review, you are great at what you do. You have gained yourself a new subscriber and I hope that you succeed in whatever it is you strive for in life because I can see your integrity and it’s impressive. Wish you nothing but success my guy 👍

You are amazing David, thank you for the kind note! I really appreciate the energy you put into this ❤

I use it every day! It controls my acne very well! Love it!

So love your honest opinion

I love your review about the product

I am a cosmetologist and read your bio about you, I would highly reccomend that you invest in a vocational program to get licensed in your state. It would definitely make your resume more rounded as a skin care expert. I love your ability to be able to absorb all of this great information on the skin, skin care products and how these may or may not work synergistically. Good luck my friend and seriously look into getting that profession accreditation from your state. ;)

This was very helpful. Thank you!

The exact dupe for the SK-II facial treatment essence is the Secret Key starting treatment essence (rose edition) I used SK-II for 2 years and have switched to Secret key and I can tell you my skin still has that clarity and youthful glow that SK-II gave me and it's 1/4 the price!

SK-2 essence gave me a skin rush (redness, itchiness) every time I used it, so I stopped
