From the moment I laid eyes on SK II CELLUMINATION ESSENCE I knew I had to know more asap.  Ok, so I'm a sucker for a great bottle design, name and tag line and SK-II Cellumination Essence has it all goin' on in spades.  The theory behind the essence is all about brightening and conditioning cells to boost the transmission of light within the skins surface (hence the gorgeous iridescent bottle) so that skin will look more luminous, radiant and even-toned. "The glow from within"  they call it.

SK-II talks of skin's  "aura-lucency" – the total diffuse of light within the skin surface.  As we age, fluctuations in the skin that cause uneven skin tone can affect the reflection of light transmission, resulting in duller looking skin.  Conditioning and redefining the skin surface can help boost the total transmission of dissuse light (aura-lucency) and can lead to skin that appears noticeably more radiant and glowing.

SK-II contains AURA BRIGHT COMPLEX, a juicy cocktail containing Centella asiatica extract, Nicotinamide W and concentrated Pitera (an exclusive ingredient to SK-II).  This complex refines the skin's surface, boosting it's glow through hydration, leaving it looking plumped and radiant while decreasing discoloration and unevenness.

I am sooooo excited to go nuts with this serum!  I love serums as they are super light and feel so great going on.  It says that after 8 weeks of using the serum, studies report that respondents skin is brighter and more even-toned.  Me likes!!
