How: The 90-minute facial uses mostly clinical instruments. First, a deep-cleansing microdermabrasion. Next, skincare like an antioxidant watery essence is "pushed" into skin with a Derma-infuser. Then, a customised serum is massaged in using an ultrasonic device. The only thing that doesn't use any device: a face mask of soothing seaweed extract that cools and tingles.

Verdict: The microdermabrasion feels like something hard is scraping my skin. There is continuous pain for 10 minutes, but it's bearable after a while. My complexion looks immediately brighter after. The mask also makes my face feel cleaner and smoother. This facial is so effective that my concealer appears a shade darker the next day.
