SECRET KEY Starting Treatment Essence (STE)

Saya memiliki banyaaaakk sekali masalah kulit. Sebut saja jerawat, bekas jerawat, pori-pori besar, komedo, kulit berminyak dan sebagainya. Belum lagi kalau saya lagi haid, makin nggak karuan deh mukanya. Karena masalah kulit itu, saya membutuhkan ekstra coverage tiap kali kalau mau make up. Jadi saya butuh banget perawatan yang bisa menghilangkan minimal mengurangi imperfections yang menyebalkan itu. Huh.

I have a lot of skin problems. Let's say acne, acne scars, large pores, blackheads, oily skin and so on. It gets worst especially during my periods, my face becomes so yucky. Because of my skin problem, I need extra coverage every time if I have to do make up. So I really need treatments that can vanish my super suck imperfections, at least reduce them. Huh.

Saya kebetulan awalnya tertarik dengan FTE dari SKII karena reviewnya bagus dan saya sendiri memang percaya dengan produk perawatan wajah dari Jepang karena memang kulit orang Jepang terkenal bagus. Berhubung harganya mahal, saya menahan diri dulu T_T.

First time, I was interested the SKII FTE because the reviews are good and I always trust the facial care products from Japan because Japaneses are known for great skin. Since they're so expensive, I hold down my will T_T.

Saya akhirnya memutuskan untuk mencoba produk STE Secret Key yang katanya FTE SKII nya Korea yang harganya jauh lebih murah. Sebenarnya sih alasannya nggak cuma karena jauh lebih murah, tetapi produk kecantikan Korea juga bagus berhubung kulit-kulit orang Korea sendiri juga bagus. Akhirnya saya mencoba ini. Jeng jeng jeng.

I finally decided to try the Secret Key STE that can be said as the SKII FTE of Korea which is much cheaper. Actually, it's not only about the cheaper price, but also Korean's beauty products are known good too since the Koreans also have good skin. I finally tried this. Jeng jeng jeng.

Botolnya mirip dengan SKII dan juga terbuat dari kaca.
The bottle is look like SKII's and also made from glass.

STE ini mengandung Galactomyces yang sejenis jamur ragi yang ada di dalam fermentasi sake. Makanya STE ini memiliki bau yang cukup menyengat tapi nggak menganggu kok. Katanya, Galactomyces ini yang membuat tangan-tangan para pekerja sake tetap mulus dan nggak menua. Keren ya! Tekstur STE ini cair mirip toner.
STE contains Galactomyces, kind of yeast (fungus) that is in the sake fermentation. So STE has a weird scent but not annoying scent really. As people said, this Galactomyces make the hands of sake makers become smooth and not aging. Cool huh! This STE has similar texture like toner.

Ketika pemakaian, wajah terasa lebih lembab dan kenyal, sangat cocok dipakai di malam hari atau ketika sedang berada di ruangan ber-AC. Beruntungnya, saya nggak mengalami purging ketika memakai produk ini. Cocok-cocok saja, padahal saya memiliki very bad sensitive skin. Wajah saya juga menjadi cerah dalam kurang dari satu minggu. Jerawat saya menjadi jarang sekali muncul, even when on my period!! Cuma saya belum melihat it works well to deal with my big pores and acne scars.

When applying STE, the face became more moist and soften, very suitable for being used at night or when in the air-conditioned room. Fortunately, I did not have purging when using this product. Works quite well on my skin, even I had a very bad sensitive skin. My face also became brighter in less than one week. My pimples don't come out, even when on my period!! I just don't see it works well to deal with my big pores and acne scars.

Harganya sekitar Rp 150.000 ke atas. Tergantung kamu beli di mana.

The price is up to IDR 150.000. Depends where you buy it.
