The Proof of Pitera™
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is made up of over 90% Pitera™, a natural bio-ingredient containing vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. Pitera™ helps skin retain its natural functions, so your skin stays Crystal Clear, now and always.
With over 50 micro-nutrients, the signature ingredient Pitera™ conditions skin and helps soothe skin surface concerns that can be caused by a range external aggressors such as harsh UV and pollution.
When conditioned by Pitera™, skin is also able to lock moisture from within over time to overcome dryness, which can be caused by exposure to extreme hot and dry as well as cold and dry conditions.

About SK-II
For more than 35 years, SK-II has touched the lives of millions of women around the world by helping them to "change destiny" through the miracle of crystal clear skin and life. The fascinating story behind SK-II began at a sake brewery in Japan, where scientists noticed the elderly workers had wrinkled faces, but extraordinarily soft and youthful-looking hands. These hands were in constant contact with the sake fermentation process. It took years of research for scientists to isolate the miracle ingredient PiteraTM, a naturally-derived liquid from the yeast fermentation process. Since then, SK-II with PiteraTM has become a special secret shared by celebrities such as Cate Blanchett around the world, transforming skin along the five dimensions of texture, radiance, firmness, spot control and wrinkle resilience critical to crystal clarity. A leading skincare brand in 13 markets, SK-II continues to deliver the transformative power of crystal clear skin and life through well-loved products including the Facial Treatment Essence, R.N.A.POWER and GenOptics Aura Essence.
