SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream
Many of you out there know I’m a great fan of SK-II, and because I believe in putting my money where my mouth (or in this case, face) is, I have chalked up quite a fair bit by spending on their extensive collection over the last few years. It was never like that before; I used to be a soap-and-water kind of guy, but having passed my 30s in recent years, I knew that even the best of genes would not keep my face looking radiant, spotless and smooth.
And unlike say fragrances, which I can pick and choose depending on my mood, I am extremely loyal when it comes to skincare. My policy is very simple. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And till today I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. Right now I’m using SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essence, Skin Signature as well as the Signs Eye Cream (though I must admit the eye cream is not really working for me) on a daily basis, right before I head out anywhere and before going to bed.
But that’s not the end of it. Last week SK-II sent me a full-sized jar of their new SK-II Skin Signature Melting Rich Cream (SGD240) which had just been launched. A cream that’s suitable for both day and night, its non-sticky formula promises to improves skin radiance, firmness and texture after 4 weeks, which is exactly what I’m looking for.
And if there are any SK-II users out there, I would love to hear about your experiences (both good and bad) as well. Now excuse me while go I slather some more on my face.

i think the advance eye treatment film works way better than the cream (too thick for my liking). it improves those ‘soon to be appearing’ lines around my eyes. u might wanna get some samples from the SA before buying one tube tho.
Thanks for the tip Andrienne!
my experience with SKII – only the masks and facial treatment essence work for me. nothing else.
Does the signature cream makes ur skin greasy looking? Matte finish?
only their mask n make-up works for me too… i have almost everything from their counter incl their make-up range…
A loyal user of the facial treatment essence. Works wonders!
same here the eye cream doesnt work for me at all but the essence and toner works like magic!
I like their facial clear lotion. It’s very light yet moisturizing for day use in our hot and humid climate.
everytime i use the facial treatment essence my face burns – feels like there’s too much alcohol in it. alcohol really drys the skin.
i’ve also heard that SKII only works if you keep using it. once you remove it from your regime, the effect is gone.
It burns? You best not use it then, and I guessing it works differently for different skin types.
Tried facial treatment essence. It’s good in terms of giving a healthy glow to the skin. But it’s a bit strong for me I use daily maybe due to the alcohol in it? Not sure. Once in week maybe ok.
Currently me on La Mer moisturising gel cream and regenerating serum for 3 months. Gel cream works well in terms of retaining moisture and softening the skin. Serum kinda give the well rested and energetic look in the morning after night use. Only use two times a week will do.
Really like to know how’s the comparison of sk2 melting rich cream and cream de la mer. Someone can help?
Thanks for all your comments guys! Keep them coming in!
has anybody tried their cellumination essence? does it work?
I using that, I feel abit glow. Skin tone better. I have a gf tried also feel the effect but another gf not suitable.
BB, like you I have pass my 30-year mark and I swear by SKII. I use the treatment essence, cleanser and the facial lift emulsion on a daily basis. I also use the treatment mask for more intense treatment.
With regards to your comments on the eye cream, I have serious dark circles, I agree that the SKII eye product does not work….. BUT then again I have tried almost all the eye products in the market, and none has ever work!
Glad to know I’m not the only guy here who loves SK-II!
Hi BB, am also one of the loyal SK-II users. Today (16/08/10) is my 5th year am wif SK-II. As 33yo guy wif Facial Expression Lines problems n finally all were less n lesser from the 1st 6month usage. I used the All the line up including LXP series plus LXP mask for weekend only, except whitening n make up n sunblock. I made ppl envy on every occasion.
Recently added is Aura series coupling Whitening Series(2months). So perfect now. Fairer spotless crystal clear skin. 3D Mask works wonder & LXP Ultimate Revival Mask, esp when busy traveling to different countries, diff climate/season at the same plan. Skin so tightened, healthy glow. No regret lah even Signs Eye Cream din help me much. I use adv eye treatment film + eye mask on weekend, look better but isn’t perfect yet.
Tried La Prairie luxe also no gud result, L’occitane Immortale also no gud, Estee Lauder Resilience and Timezone, worst. Will try La Mer Eye Concentrate soon.
eye bags are due to ur blood capillaries ard ur eyes being enlarged- try creams that constrict blood flow there, or alternatively something cold like ice can alleviate the dark eye circles temporarily. hope that helps!
Am user of FTE too. It works well on my skin and neck – lines less visible, fairer complexion but it didn’t do much for my freckles. In fact, because my skin is now fairer, the freckles are much more obvious. Sigh.
My colleague started using SK-II and his skin improved tremendeously (he’s late 30′s and has some freckles and spots). But when I use it I developed acne. Perhaps it’s not suitable for a guy in his 20′s?
I think it is also boils down to skin type. Not everything is suitable for everyone I guess.
@MuseMone I’m a 23 year old guy and SK-II work wonders on my skin!I am currently using the Facial Treatment Cleanser and the Facial Treatment Essence.
The Facial Treatment Mask is the best sheet mask I’ve come across. Can’t say I see any fantastic results from their other products though. For e.g. I have the Cellumination Deep Surge and I feel that it doesn’t really get absorbed and leaves a layer on the skin that makes make up application tricky.
How is your experience with the Melting Rich Cream so far BB?
@Rae, laser is the most effective and efficient way to get rid of freckles and pigmentation, in my experience. You see results after one quick session from the clinic and mine cleared after just 2 sessions.
Hi, I’m on my 2nd day of using the melting rich cream but wondering if the cream is suitable and works for someone who’s 26 years old? I have been using SK-II Facial Treatment cleanser and Treatment Essence for 6 months and so far so good however this two days my skin turned dry with tiny red rashes hence I’m wondering if I’m sensitive to the melting rich cream?
Yes, that does happen, because skin type varies from person to person. Stop using the Melting Rich Cream if it is giving you issues and bring it back to the SK-II counter and see if they can replace it with another product.
you might be having an allergic reaction, but it could also be due to other environmental factors. you should head back to the BA you bought the cream from and ask for advice.
This product sounds promising, guess I need to head down to the counters to test out the texture.
