THE POWER OF

The SK-II exclusive, anti-aging ingredient was discovered by chance in a sake brewery in Japan when scientists noticed the workers’ hands looked remarkably youthful compared to their faces. This observation sparked years of research that led to the discovery of PITERA™, a naturally derived ingredient created through a unique fermentation process.

While most skincare focuses on one ingredient for one benefit, like retinol for anti-aging or hyaluronic acid for hydration, PITERA™ delivers multiple benefits in one step—helping improve texture, radiance, firmness, and overall clarity.

What is PITERA™: PITERA™ is SK-II’s proprietary, natural bio-ingredient derived from fermentation. It improves multiple dimensions of visible skin damage and aging. It is made exclusively in Japan for SK-II.

PITERA™ Origin: In the 1970s, SK-II scientists noticed the hands of elderly Japanese sake brewers looked younger than their age.

The scientists wondered if something in the fermentation process kept the skin looking younger. Further research into fermentation, led to the discovery of PITERA™.

What’s Makes PITERA™ Unique: PITERA™ contains over 50 micro-nutrients including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to nourish and improve your skin from multiple dimensions, reducing visible skin damage.

Inspired by J-Beauty Skincare routines, we recommend applying products from most lightweight to thickest.
