no choice mah, it's so effective on me and i tried some other brands in these 3 years, but could not find any replacement till now..
yah lor their products are quite exp, but can last for very long mah, like their cleanser can last me about 10 months to 1 year.. and compare to other brands like CPB, La Mer, La Prairie, or even Sisley, SKII is really not that exp.. i spent a lot on this brand, sometimes 1/3 of my pay, but normally i can get 10% off cuz i am a regular..
i dun really buy samples from sasa cuz i know those are like GWP from counters, next time before i go SKII counters maybe can let me know what you all want to try first, so i try try to ask for it, hehee, it's always easier to ask for samples as long as you spend certain amount =)
