      I've been thinking about SKII, but now I'm hesitant. Appreciate any recommendations :?:. Does laser treatment work in removing these dark spots permanently?


      I tried SK II and other branded brands for pigmentation but it seems the spot getting bigger :nailbite: ..gave up after spend few hundred dollars for that dark spot.

      Last week just done the RF to remove the black spot...cost $100..so far so good and hope it wont come back πŸ˜“


      What is RF? I tried laser treatment (3 times in total) and by the 2nd time there is significant result with clearer skin and lighter pigmentation. BUT, all these effects do not last long. Have to return for maintenance session.[/quote]

      Radio frequency....now is light pink color..need to put repair cream + whitening + sunblock for 2-3 weeks. hopefully it wont come back...

        [quote]Had tried SKII products, but i found the advert to be overrating.....the essence , the whitening source....etc

        as for the whitening source, realised that my skin turned even darker on the area when i stopped using it,
        wonder any1 has encountered such prob before ??
        I tend to be very lazy when it comes to skincare. Just L'Oreal facewash and toner, followed by moisturiser. Never bothered with masks/serums/sunblocks. But I've started to notice dark spots on my cheekbones 😒. Went to see a dermatologist and she gave me bleaching cream, which irritated my skin, so I gave up.

        Even staying home, there is UV light, so i installed UV filter film for my window.

        Some bleaching skin is too harsh, thus causing irritation to the skin.
        U can try lancome melanolyser, it does work .......

          when i was using skII, initially, it seemed to lighten,
          but after a while, ( esp when stopped using it) i realised the patch which i had applied on,
          had gotten darken as compared to other parts of my skin.

                Let us know the effect after 2 weeks? I have also not heard about RF for pigmentation.

                      So how do u found these beauticians, do they do a good job ?
                      Are they the ones who recomended u to do RF for pigmentation ?
                      Yes, perhaps u can give us some feedback when yr skin goes back to normal.

                        I used sk ii skin refining treatment for the blackheads. The blackheads does get easier to remove. But it’s too ex for that pathetic container. When I bought it donkey years ago, it was $123.

                        My daily cleansing is simple…kao Biore foam to wash face, then followed by sukin (Australian brand) mist toner. Apply eye gel and sunblock in the morn.
                        If I go out, then I’ll use cleansing milk to clean the face before washing.
