Experience SK-II‘s Skincare Products

What is PITERA™: PITERA™ is SK-II’s proprietary, natural bio-ingredient derived from fermentation.

PITERA™ Origin: In the 1970s, 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 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.

Application Tips

Pour

Pour 2-3 shakes of the lightweight liquid essence formula into palms of hands.

Press

Press palms together to wet both hands. Gently press over face & neck for 1 minute.

Pat, Pat

Continue patting the essence into skin until fully absorbed.

Use in AM and PM

Use 2x daily – after cleansing & toning (before serums or moisturizers).
