PRODUCT DETAILS

A powerful treatment to visibly soften texture, reduce the appearance of dark spots and fine lines due to dryness, even the look of skin’s tone, and enhance visible radiance.

NEED TO KNOW

PITERA™ Contains over 50 micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and natural acids to condition skin.

WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW

The story begins with a chance observation at a sake brewery in Japan where scientists noticed the elderly brewers had wrinkled faces but extraordinarily youthful-looking hands. Intensive searches began out of millions of yeast strains and studies were conducted on hundreds of fermentation conditions.

Now every drop of PITERA™ is produced by cultivating the one exclusive yeast strain under the most stringent conditions that remain SK-II’s most valuable trade secret. This iconic essence’s formula has then remained essentially unchanged for almost 40 years as the full efficacies of PITERA™ have not yet been uncovered; and until now, SK-II is continuing to discover new things it can do. A miracle like no other, PITERA™ is pure power of nature harnessed by advanced technology.

  • Step One
    The Foundation
    We start with a healthy dose of skepticism concerning the safety of a new ingredient. If we can’t establish both its safety and benefit to consumers, we won't use it.
  • Step Two
    Define Safe Range
    We define the safe range for every ingredient we use with the same scientific process used by the major regulatory agencies around the world (FDA, EPA, WHO, EU, etc.). If there is not enough information to establish a safe range, we will remove the ingredient from consideration or investigate it further.
  • Step Three
    Determine Safe Product Use
    We evaluate all ingredients in the final product to confirm their actual use is in the safe range for both consumers and the environment. If we can't conclude the product formula is safe, we will either reformulate or decide not to market the product. We have more than 700 scientists and professionals who ensure our products meet all safety and regulatory requirements around the world.
  • Step Four
    Monitor Use and New Information
    Once a product is marketed, we monitor consumer use and investigate all new scientific information, with external scientists and regulatory agencies on new and updated safety methods.
