I love this cream! It has evened out and smoothened my skin, moisturized dry patches, and helped balance out my oily patches. Previous reviews advised not to use too much of it and I agree! The one day that I slathered on a touch too much, my face turned into an oil slick after 2 - 3 hours. Whats more, I live in Singapore (extremely hot and humid) and work mostly in air-conditioned environments, so my skin tends to go a little haywire from the changes in temperature. This cream has helped to balance out my level of oil production around the T-zone, but I do need to use a loose powder on top of my sunscreen to keep the oil at bay. I can't say that it has helped me to look 10 years younger (as it claims in the advertisement) but it has certainly been doing all the other things it says on the tin. Recommened! A little goes a long way, and although its really pricey, I get mine at the duty free and can save a tidy sum.

I received a 15ml sample of this a few months ago and I've been using it twice a day since then. For me a little product goes a LONG way which I absolutely love.
This melts into my skin like a dream with minimal massaging and leaves my skin firmer, hydrated and softer than ever. I can also use this on under eye area and it doesn't irritate at all.
My husband has commenting since using this in my routine my skin looks amazing and feels baby soft. He has commented on how young I look since using this.
The only thing I dislike is the packaging and having to put my fingers in it, I'd prefer a pump or a squeezable tube for hygiene. That said, I love this stuff so much I'll be buying a full size when I run out of the sample!

I love this product. It is pricey (but comes in a bigger-than-usual 80gram tub), but works well on my dry-normal skin. I got compliments on my skin (firm and clear) when i was using this product continuously for a year (i coupled it with the Facial Treatment Essence from SKII). It is a bit greasy for summer/warm weather in daytime, but can be toned down with some loose powder after sunblock application. I like the texture a lot, soft and silky. It is non-fragranced, a bonus if you can't take scents.

Love this cream, I use it at night since I need to moisturize my skin before bedtime and when I woke up in the morning I feel that my skin is soft, well moisturize and brighter. Absorb easily and somehow lift up my skin. I feel great and wish that it come in tube or pump rather then using the spatula.

I have very dry skin and this product worked for me. I had initially tried a sample size and thought it does its job, hence willing to purchase the full-size. As this product is more on the 'heavy-duty' side for my skin, I use it as a daily night cream. When I wake up in the morning, I can feel that my skin is moisturized and softened. However, be careful to apply the right amount for your skin as I find that sometimes when I apply too generously, my skin is actually not absorbing it and thus leaving a sticky feeling on my skin. Due to the sparing usage, I'm able to stretch a full-size jar up to 4 to 6 months!

This project completely restored my skin... I have combination skin and was trying these glycolic acid products to exfoliate the dead skin (not recommended!) but ended up with peeling oily skin in my t-zone, dry patches all around. This cream completely healed my skin and made it feel like satin after using it for a month. I normally don't believe the hype behind pricey brand name products but SK-II really worked for me! There is a slight drawback.. once I ran out of the cream and used a drugstore alternative for a month... my skin started to revert back to the old texture. Your skin will get very used to the cream. I still haven't found a cheaper alternative (if anyone can recommend please let me know!)

I recently began using SK-II products about two months ago. Although I bought a bunch of the products, I did not end up picking this up product. The SA gave me the moisturizer as a sample size, but I'm not even half way with it! I'm so thankful that she did!
Up to this point, my skin was rather dry, even though I do have combination skin.
My cheeks, after ONE use, are no longer dry. I don't know what else to say, but I'm so happy! I honestly thought that there was no solution to my skin, but SK-II is making me reconsider!
The only "con" I have with this product is the way that it's open and we have to put our fingers in there. Their whitening moisturizer actually dispenses it for you once you turn it, so I wish they had something with this as well!
Once my sample is done, I'm definitely purchasing the full size, despite the price. Although my nearby bloomingdales is having an event next month and will give out "travel" sizes of most of their products!!!

Id be lying if I said that there was no effect on my skin. I actually use this for my _day_ cream, and if you dont overload your skin with it, it works fine and absorbs for day time use (not shiny and greasy on your face).
After 1 week I find my skin to look more dewy, smooth and clear. The price is a little much for me, but its still better than Creme de La Mer, and the effectiveness is better. all in all, Im likely to buy again if the results continue to be as such.

My news years resolution this year was to improve my skin – I purchased a range of SKII products and have committed to using them daily for a few months. See my thoughts so far below.
First some background, my skin type is normal to combination, generally it's pretty good. My concerns are – constant redness on my cheeks, many visible pores (black heads) on my nose which I have never been able to shift, every few weeks I get some white heads coming through on my forehead and chin area and general skin tone unevenness. In the past I have used all sorts of products most recently Clarins and Algologie but I have been thinking about SKII for some time now and decided it was time to give it a go!
I purchased the following products which I have now been using daily since Jan 1 – Facial Treatment Essence, Skin Signature (day) moisturiser, Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, Facial Treatment Gentle Cleaner (tube) and the Facial Cleansing Gel (pot).
I bought the two cleaners as the sales assistant suggested I should use the Gel at night to remove make up and the Gentle cleaner in the morning as it's more gentle (and it smells really nice and rosey). However, I have not been using the tube cleaner recently as I don’t like the way it feels on my skin – my skin feels to 'squeaky clean' and a bit dry after using it (which is strange as its supposed to be the more gentle of the two). On the other hand I LOVE the Gel cleanser, which does not leave my skin with this feeling, it feels beautiful and silky on my skin so I've been using this day and night.
All other products have been great so far – While I still have the same pores on my nose, my skin looked really great during week 2.
Now its week 3 and we've had a few really hot days in a row and I had some pimples come through on my forehead and chin.
Overall, I'm very happy with the range so far but am looking forward to continuing to monitor my skins progress over the next few weeks with the products. It is very expensive and I want to see some serious results if I'm going to purchase again.
I love searching this site for others thoughts and reviews – if anyone is interested, I'll continue to post my progress with the range over the next few months!

Surprisingly, this cream doesn't break me out - if anything, it makes my skin perfectly hydrated...no shine, just supple, soft, and bump-free. I switched over from the cellumination cream - while that one gave me awesome radiance, it was too active and made my skin feel raw after four weeks of continuous usage - and I use the Skin Signature cream now together with the cellumination essence.

This is a good all around anti-aging moisturizer. I compare it to Revive's moisturizing renewal cream, even though you can wear SKII day or night. SKII is not as strong as
Revive's moisturizing renewal cream, but seems just as effective by working in different ways. I find that it gives me nice smooth skin & glow. During the day I'm careful not to apply too much in the T- zone areas, and I never seem to appear greasy. This product works as a good night moisturizer.
Since this is a Japanese company, I wrongly assumed this would be more of a gentle moisturizing product and less of anti-aging product. But, I found this was a good quality
anti-aging moisturizer. continued >>

I received this as a gift. I am combo skin oily t zone and dry cheeks. This cream is easily absorbed, low fragrance and low irritating. However for the price, over $100 for 50g it doesn't do a thing.
I didn't notice any visible differences in my skin tone it's quite watery in texture and I felt my cheeks needed more moisture after ten mins. It's prob more suited for oilier skin given it doesn't leave sticky residue and fast absorbed.
Packaging very much like oil of lay regenerist. Nothing special at all.Didn't like the fact the jar was open to contamination, I prefer squeeze or pump jars.
Lucky it was a gift and I didn't spend my money on it. I've tried a lll sk2 range and this was a disappointment.

I admit it, I was suckered into purchasing this product after viewing the advertising of Tang Wei (young actress in her 20s) using Skin Signature, promising that users can look up to 4 years younger. Plus, the counter was having a promotion package.
I have combination skin and after giving birth, the lack of sleep as a result of breastfeeding took a toll on my skin. I use Skin Signature in-conjunction with the Gentle Cleanser, Lotion, Facial C, Treatment Essence and Cellumination Essence. One would think that I have overloaded my skin, I agree.
Surprisingly, after using it for more than a week (more than enough time for my skin to react to any abnormalities), my skin GLOWED. I finally was brave enough to go out without foundation, except for concealer around my eye area (no amount of eye product could get rid of the dark circles because I am still living on 3 hours of sleep per day). The result was amazingly good! I used to mix and match skincare items from different brands and always end up chucking them away because I don't see results after usage.
For SGD149 (package price), I find this moisturiser worth every penny I spent! Most importantly, lovely skin with no breakouts!!! Will re-purchase!

(Review not for the melting version)
This is my HG moisturiser. I have combination skin, oily T-zone and dehydrated cheeks. When I spend too much time in dry airconditioned room, i get flaky and eczema after that. This has kept my skin well moisturised and I swear my skin now looks clearer and supple. I absolutley love it! I am into my 2nd tub and will continue to use this. How i wish this comes in a tube instead of a tub, reason I am giving it a 4.

My husband has always used men's skincare line from Lancome, Clinique, Shiseido etc. with no particular skin problems. I convinced him to try women's stuff as I believe they work better than lines created specifically for men. So I bought him the full range of SKII products including the Facial Treatment Essence, Repair C Serum, Skin Signature Eye Cream and Skin Signature Cream. I don't use SKII products myself except for its masks, but I know long-term fans of the brand and they all have beautiful skin.
Like all men, my husband is not diligent when it comes to taking care of his skin and he doesn't even put on the products religiously. He puts them on when he remembers it and in no particular order. But it has been 6 months, and his skin texture has improved so much. His 35-year old skin is poreless, bright, and smooth! Even my mom asked me what he has been doing that made his skin change so much. I am sure the reason is nothing other than the SKII regimen.

Absolutely love Skin Signature Cream. Love it for being fragrance free,i have sensitive skin and any skincare with a scent gives me eczema. This is moisturizing without breaking me out. Been using it for 2 weeks, my skin looks finer and clearer and well moisturized. I am using this with the Clear Lotion and Essence. But the packaging can be better, the inner cover is not a good fit and leaks. I am taking away 1 lippie for the leaky packaging and expensive price, other than that I am a happy gal.

This review is not for the melting version. The Sign Signature cream is very light weight and fluffy with almost absolutely no scent. It is absorbed instantly and does not leave a greasy residue. The primary purpose of this cream is to reduce wrinkles but because I'm 21, I don't battle with wrinkles as of yet and hence, I can't say much about the effect. However, my dad has been using SK-II all his life and at the age of 56, he has youthful, elastic skin. I often joke about what a bimbo he is but people around us agree that he looks 40 at most so clearly, SK-II has been working its magic.
The cream is relatively moisturizing but despite having oily combination skin, I find it still not moisturizing enough for the harsh winters which is quite a disappointment. I will repurchase in the future solely based on its capability to reduce wrinkles and restore elasticity.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE "MELTING RICH" VERSION. It took me a little while to get used to it. At first I was applying it the way I normally do - put three dots on my cheeks and forehead, and then message in with my fingers. I ended up chasing some white slippery lumps around my face (it only melts well when it meets something very warm) and takes ages for it to get all rubbed in. Then I read in an interview with SKII about the correct way to apply any rich cream: one should warm up the palms first, then put the cream in the palm, rub together gently for the cream to soften, then put the palms onto the face, and then message in with finger tips... I did it this way, and the cream becomes a pleasure to use. As for the quality of the cream: my skin looks radiant, youthful and smooth recently. It's not greasy, just a good oil/water balance for my dry skin. No nasty scent. But will it buy it again? I am reluctant only because the cream goes down extremely fast. With the recommended method of applying it, a jar will last me about three weeks when used twice a day (face only, not including the neck). So it works out to be very expensive. And my palms become the biggest winner.
I also have the lighter version of this cream, which is just called "SKIN SIGNATURE". I intend to use it in summer when my skin becomes combination type. If I like it as much as the richer version, I may well repurchase. (The lighter version is half the price of the richer one, per ml)

Didnt like it. Waste of money. The texture and smell is okay. When on the face - it is very sticky all over. My face did not absorb it well. Ended up breaking out within a few days.
