Every time people ask me what is one skincare product that I cannot go by a day without, my answer will always be "my miracle water". And it is none other than the world famous SKII's Facial Treatment Essence. Since 2008 when I was still a student and had to scrimp and save to buy my first bottle, I swear by it and no matter what adjustments I make to my regimen, this stays. And I have never looked back since.

Over the years, I have used countless bottles of FTE, and it always keep my skin soft, supple and moisturised. And recently, I added another two of SKII's products to my regimen - the widely coveted Stempower. I will not bore you with the science, but on one note - Apart from Pitera, SKII's key ingredient in all its products, this anti-aging series boasts of artichoke extract - so powerful that it slows down signs of ageing and keeps the skin looking radiant and healthy.

Said to bless every woman with poreless and bouncy skin, I started on the Stempower Essence and Cream two weeks ago. I love the gel-like texture of the Essence - warm a drop or two and pat it onto your skin while giving a little lifting massage via upwards motion, and it is absorbed really fast. Then, apply a layer of the complementing cream - rich, yet not oily. I love the lightweight texture and how my skin does not feel too clogged and heavy with a hundred and one layers of skincare. And if you have very sensitive skin (like I do), fear not because this product will work fine all the same. I had no breakouts nor itch having been on it for the past 14 days.

To me, the best skincare regimen is one that gives you confidence to bare your face and still smile at the camera. SKII always gives me that confidence, and this Stempower series will stay on my skincare rack alongside my FTE.

If you would like to try the Stempower series too, SKII is giving away a bottle of essence on my blog.
