SK II - LXP Ultimate Perfecting Cream (50g/1.7oz)

I didn't even know how dull my skin had gotten until I started using this cream. My skin has never looked tighter and fresher in my life! It's definitely on the expensive side of skincare but it's so good for my skin and it's so nice to use. The little scoop is so useful and the product glides in so smoothly. Just try it for a week, I swear you'll be hooked as well!

Initial Impressions are that SK-II has knocked it out of the park with this intense moisturizing cream. First things first - the packaging! It's so beautiful. You pay a hefty price for this product and it actually looks like a high end high quality product. I hate when I spend tons of money to get a product in cheap or ugly packaging! This is nice enough that you don't have to feel embarrassed to gift this to a friend or family member. It has a lot of weight to it and it's a beautiful shiny gold. In addition to packaging that fits the price point, product quality fits the price point! This cream is thick, smooth, and velvety. It has a light, refreshing scent that is fragrances with roses but isn't overpowering. I was concerned my allergies would get set off with the ... MoreInitial Impressions are that SK-II has knocked it out of the park with this intense moisturizing cream.

It has a light, refreshing scent that is fragrances with roses but isn't overpowering. I was concerned my allergies would get set off with the rose scent but to my delight they were just fine. This cream can be used in the evening before bed if it's a little too heavy for you and then rinsed off in the morning or if you have extremely dry skin or you might be on a plane or some other situation in which you need all day moisture delivery to your skin, it's great in the morning too! It's really easy to concentrate the cream over problem areas so if you have a mix of oily and dry skin, this is great for you! I was concerned this would feel heavy or greasy but it is neither of those things. I am very impressed and you will be too! Go for it!

have mature skin and have tried so many different face creams. This is one of my favorites! SK-II delivers every time! I had to take a deep breath before purchasing it. The cream goes on silky smooth and is so hydrating. It's not overly thick, just right and when I wake up, my skin is soft. I use this with the SK-II lotion and Pitera routines. Packaging is gorgeous. I highly recommend this product and I would definitely buy this product again. 

This is amazing. I am speechless. I definitely enjoyed this rich cream. It has a great affect if you use it consistently. Even though it is quite expensive, it is worth it for sure. It is a hidden gem. I definitely would highly recommend this this product to anybody who is trying to go for a rich high end texture cremate packaging is nice.

This is yet another amazing product from SK-II! Their products actually work! The prices are what keep me from making this apart of my regular skincare routine. If I wasn't able to try this from a beauty box, first, then I never would've purchased it after the fact. The few products I have had the luxury of using do exactly as they claim. If you have the means to blindly spend the money on this, I would absolutely give it a go! I take my skincare seriously now that I'm getting a little older, this product has makes my skin feel amazing and has assisted with bringing back that youthful glow most of us are looking for.

SK- II has always been a favorite brand of mine. With their highly ranked reviews I first tried out SK-II 2 years ago and fell in love. The revival cream is an ultimate favorite. With its soft application it just melts into my skin. I highly recommend everyone to go run and buy this because you will not be disappointed!

I know the price is painful y'all. There's probably lots more you can buy for $385 But if you're reading this review, you already know the price, have (probably?) accepted it, and looking for performance! And I'm here to tell you - it's not worth it. Performance: 2.5/5 I have dry skin so it feels like I can evaluate the effects of moisturizer effectiveness a little better. This formula is extremely rich - it can really only be used for night-time use and a little goes a long way. Which is fine - I like to slug it up for my nighttime routine. The bad part for extremely rich formulas is that it's more prone to breakouts and clogging pores. Its performance is average - it does moisturize your skin. But when you're paying $385, you're hoping for more and there really ... MoreI know the price is painful y'all.

But when you're paying $385, you're hoping for more and there really isn't much more aside from the luxurious packaging. Packaging: 5/5 It's SK-II - of course, it's classy + beautiful. I especially loved the little spatula - highly appreciated when using jar moisturizers.

I received this for review from SK-II. This is really wow. I think I would give up on every other if I can convince my hubby that this is the perfect holiday and birthday gift. If only my birthday were more than 3 days away from our big holiday—time to problem solve (hehehe). SK-II LXP Ultimate Revival Cream is nothing short of amazing. It comes in a Rose Gold cylindrical container!! Rose Gold! How very very perfect is that? It also comes with a teensie tiny spatula, which at first I thought ‘meh’, but yes, I did indeed want to use it. I just dip it right into the little pot of creamy wonderful stuff and apply directly onto my t zone, chin and cheeks. No, I did not follow the directions and apply it to my palms and rub it together. I’m not sure who came up with ... MoreI received this for review from SK-II. This is really wow.

I’m not sure who came up with those instructions but how incredibly nope. Then what? Rub my palms all over my face—lol, I’m dying just thinking what my husband will think if he catches me doing that. Well, I would scream if I caught anyone wasting this pricy stuff on the palms of their hands. And do you know the reason: so that you can get the scent to come out, like when you rub dried spices to brighten the seasoning. Just no and absolutely not. Believe you me, this stuff works and it’s not b/c of some aromatherapy mumbo-jumbo b/c science ppl. Yes, a relaxing scent could reduce your frowning but again, no. (it doesn't smell strongly of roses either--the smell is just meh). Not really sure what is in this stuff (now I read it's Japanese sake, but don't drink it!) that makes it tick b/c the accompanying lit was scant, but I read somewhere nioxin? I probably just sounded real dumb, I don’t know what nioxin is bc I hated chemistry and anyway, I’m just glad it works. Like glowing, smooth skin. Even after I forgot to wear sunscreen one day and usually look leathered—still glowing, gorgeous, like you could go without makeup pretty. Does this stuff contain sunscreen? It should at that price but again accompanying lit was non-existent and I looked up a lots of stuff and haven’t looked that up.

There’s simply no better face moisturizer. It is worth every bit of money that I pay for it. I used to spend the same amount it more on many face creams that did not work for me. This cream gives me the skin that I have dreamt of having. I can not say enough good things about it! They say you should invest your money. I say invest in products that work.

Not recommend

I used this with the entire SKII line, to give it the benefit of the doubt (i.e. cleanser, toner, essence, this moisturiser, eye cream, face mask). I have also used SKII products intermittently for the past decade, spending more than $1000 each time. So I have experience with this line and this product.I have combo/acne prone skin. This cream is extremely thick, and when you use, you have to warm up the product between your hands to use. It remains tacky on your skin even hours after. The only people who might benefit from this would be very dry skinned individuals.Smells lovely. However, this is the only cream that has ever caused cystic acne. I have tried multiple drug store creams, and other high end creams. But this is the only one that is COMEDOGENIC.

Because I paid so much, I would try, break out in acne --> wait for it to clear, try it again, get acne again --> this cycle of at least 10 separate occasions.If you want a better moisturiser, get the regular Skin refining treatment cream. This cream is not worth $10.
