Origins of SK-II
The Promise of Pitera™
The origins of SK-II began in a sake brewery in Japan nearly 40 years ago, where scientists noticed that brewers had aged faces, but soft and youthful hands. Convinced that the secret lay in the fermentation process, scientists screened hundreds of strains of yeast until they discovered a liquid that seemed to defy age—our miracle ingredient, Pitera™.
With a unique combination of micronutrients, Pitera™ contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and organic acids—all working to enhance skin’s natural rejuvenation process, smooth skin, minimize the appearance of pores and wrinkles, even skin tone, and reveal radiance. Pitera™ is the foundation of our entire product line.

FAQ
What is an essence?
An essence is a lightweight, hydrating boost to the skin with a consistency that feels like a toner or water. Packed with vitamins, minerals and amino acids, an essence is more easily absorbed by the skin than a thick cream.
When do I use it?
Use the essence morning and night after cleansing and toning.
How much do I use?
5 to 10 splashes of the essence should saturate a cotton pad and be sufficient to hydrate face and neck.

This feels very light in my skin. I put it on my hands and tap it in my face, kind of like aftershave. I then apply my regular moisturizer and so far I’m liking the results. This is a huge bottle and will last me a long time as you only need a little bit.

Great for sensitive skin, evens skin tone including help with redness and discoloration. I can’t think of another way to describe it. With no other changes in skin care product the fine lines around my eyes and mouth are gone, as well as fine smile line on my cheeks and next to my eye area.

This is probably one of my all time favorite products! I use it as a toner right after cleansing and follow with the rest of my regimen. My skin looks great the next morning. It tones and soothes the skin. I always recommend this product to my friends!
